Our experience in research and development on a multi-agent architecture for an industrial Automatic Guided Vehicle Transportation System (AGVTS) reveals a crucial problem w.r.t. the specification of software architectures. In particular, there is a lack of support for relating and composing multiple views in architectural descriptions. This lack hampers changeability, as it prevents separating...

Abstract To remain competitive, companies today are increasingly faced with the challenge of reacting adequately in dynamic development environments. For product development, particular, it is necessary to organize decision-making processes so they can react quickly and flexibly changes environment. describe dynamics changeability, term VUCA used, which a synonym for volatility, uncertainty, co...

"Everything changes and nothing remains still."We designed three implicit studies to understand how people react or adapt to a rapidly changing world by testing whether verbal probability is better in expressing changeable uncertainty while numerical probability is better in expressing unchangeable uncertainty. We found that the "verbal-changeable" combination in implicit tasks was more compati...

In today’s globalized markets, the continuous pressure to perform at high levels is well perceivable in the companies’ every day business. The concepts of both a changeable and a virtual production, also known as the digital factory, claim to be of great importance when preparing the manufacturing and assembly systems for future challenges. In this paper, the characteristics of both concepts ar...

Biometric template protection is indispensable to protect personal privacy in large-scale deployment of biometric systems. Accuracy, changeability, and security are three critical requirements for template protection algorithms. However, existing template protection algorithms cannot satisfy all these requirements well. In this paper, we propose a hybrid approach that combines random projection...

To sum up, the results of the applied methods and techniques of psycho-correction and psychological counseling, appealing to the adolescent ego and their parents, prove that means of the psychological prevention such as symboldrama and transactional analysis, are more effective than the methods of personality-oriented psychotherapy. The family systems psychotherapy combines the psychological an...

Duplication of code has long been thought to decrease changeability of systems, but recently doubts have been expressed whether this is true in general. This is a problem for researchers because it makes the value of research aimed against clones uncertain, and for practitioners as they cannot be sure whether their effort in reducing duplication is well-spent. In this paper we try to shed light...

Aspect-oriented system is a new emerging technique of software development that provides mechanism for implementing cross-cutting concerns. Quality assessment of important characteristics like cohesion, coupling, complexity, reusability, maintaibility, etc. is fairly unexplored for Aspect-oriented systems. Through this research work we have tried to find out the correlation between some of the ...
