Object-oriented database systems are designed to meet the requirements of advanced database applications such as computer-integrated manufacturing. These requirements may evolve in the course of time and may require the migration of the database application from one object-oriented database system to another. Traditional migration approaches for relational database systems fail when applied to ...

In this article, we try to give an overview about the major changes and shifts that have determined the functioning of the spatial planning system in Romania. In this respect, we use the major legislative acts and the official planning documents from different scales (national, regional, and local) and the personal experiences in the development of different spatial planning documents as major ...

Human supemisory control and monitoring of automated systems, as well as, passive system@ information processing can all be classvied as forms of out-of-theloop (OOn) performance. Whether the operator’s task is to decide ifprocess control intervention is necessary, detect a critical system event, or accept or reject the actions of a computer controller, he or she is removed from direct, real-ti...

We present the multi-paradigm architecture TriGSflow for a workflow management system. TriGSflow is based on an active extension of the commercial object-oriented database system GemStoneTM. TriGSflow takes full advantage of the capabilities of the underlying database system such as reliability, recovery, transaction management, and authorization. At the current stage of implementation the nove...

Purpose. To examine the inter-rater reliability and comparative validity of product-oriented and process-oriented measures of fundamental movement skills (FMS) among children with cerebral palsy (CP). Method. Thirty children with CP aged 6 to 14 years (Mean=9.83 SD 2.5), and classified in Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels I-III performed tasks of catching, throwing, kick...

cell formation problem mainly address how machines should be grouped and parts be processed in cells. in dynamic environments, product mix and demand change in each period of the planning horizon. incorporating such assumption in the model increases flexibility of the system to meet customer’s requirements. in this model, to ensure the reliability of the system in presence of unreliable machine...

Scenarios are a popular means for capturing behavioural requirements of software systems early in the lifecycle. Scenarios show how components interact to provide system level functionality. If component reliability information is available, scenarios can be used to perform early system reliability assessment. In this paper we present a novel automated approach for predicting software system re...

This paper describes the design of a novel mobile agent system that supports the flexible and reliable interaction of autonomous components in an object-oriented distributed system. It discusses the object-oriented design of the overall system together with a number of important components in terms of the most important design decisions. A detailed description of the reliability model is given ...
