To reuse one or several existing systems in order to develop a complex system is a common practice in software engineering. This approach can be justified by the fact that it is often difficult for a single Information System (IS) to accomplish all the requested tasks. So, one solution is to combine many different ISs and make them collaborate in order to realize these tasks. We previously prop...

This study investigates how workplace learning is enacted to make a novice Kente (a hand-woven fabric in Ghana) weaver information literate the Kente-weaving landscape. Ethnography was used as research design. Interview and participant observation were data collection methods. For interview, semi-structured interview techniques solicit from all three levels of weavers (Master, junior weavers) B...

This paper presents a technique for visualizing woven textiles in real time, while optimizing the realistic appearance. The proposed approach supports rendering of complex weave patterns by adopting Weaving Information File (WIF), a standard from textile Computer Aided Design (CAD) for representing the grammar of weaving. We develop a realistic rendering scheme by combining the grammar represen...

We propose an information-theoretic framework to quantify multipartite correlations in classical and quantum systems, answering questions such as what is the amount of seven-partite correlations in a given state of ten particles? We identify measures of genuine multipartite correlations, i.e., statistical dependencies that cannot be ascribed to bipartite correlations, satisfying a set of desira...

The study investigated technology innovations and factors influencing its upgrading in the indigenous textile weaving firms in southwestern Nigeria. Data for the survey was sourced from 300 small scale firms with 91% retrieval rate. The survey instruments which were questionnaire, interview and personal observation elicited information on the weaving process. Majority (89%) of the respondents r...

This article reports on the relationship between becoming information literate and body in Kente-weaving landscape. A mixed approach of incorporative ethnographic participant observation semi-structured interviews with 24 participants through their roles as either master weaver, junior weaver or novice at Bonwire Kente Centre. Thematic analysis an embodied-practice to literacy (IL) frames this ...

In this paper we present current state of principles and applications in static and dynamic weaving. We are concentrating on static weaving in AspectJ and dynamic weaving in PROSE PROgrammable extenSions of sErvice. The contribution of this paper is in analyses of both approaches to weaving which we aim to apply as essential mechanisms when constructing software systems by automatic evolution.
