Luke is a knowledge editor designed to support two tasks; the first is editing the classes and relations in a knowledge base. The second is editing and maintaining the semantic mapping knowledge neccesery to allow a natural language interface to understand sentences with respect to that knowledge base. In order to emphasize design decisions shared between the two tasks, Luke provides facilities...

The cross-school study model is very different from traditional distance education and MOOCs (MOOCs), as they are now known. Cross-school a new teaching mode. Through study, students can choose courses shared by the university (the user) other universities course builder) according to bridge built platform, obtain corresponding credits after approval builder. mode broadens time space boundary o...

When a specific building is examined and analysed for its architectural merits, it is the visible, superficial aspects, which are considered, for example: aesthetics, function, spatial relationships, and landscape. One of the most important invisible factors that should be considered in the design process is the safety of buildings against natural hazards, particularly against earthquakes. Whil...

We propose an efficient IP-block-based design environment for high-throughput VLSI systems. The flow generates SystemC register-transfer-level (RTL) architecture, starting from a Matlab functional model described as a netlist of functional IP. The refinement model inserts automatically control structures to manage delays induced by the use of RTL IPs. It also inserts a control structure to coor...

Genomic Object Net (GON) is a biosimlation tool that allows us to model various kinds of biopathways including gene regulatory networks, metabolic pathways, and signal transduction pathways in a biologically intuitive way [4]. In GON, biopathway is modeled as an extension of hybrid Petri net called hybrid functional Petri net (HFPN) for which XML documentation is defined. As a graphical editor ...

This paper discusses the work of the software architect by describing a software architect’s concerns and the documents that a software architect should produce. It proposes a definition of software architecture and discusses archtectural design criteria based on the idea that every architecture is expected to meet a specified set of goals. We start with a discussion of the meaning of “architec...
