Software reliability is an important factor for quantitatively characterizing software quality and estimating the duration of software testing period. Traditional parametric software reliability growth models (SRGMs) such as nonhomogeneous Poisson process (NHPP) models have been successfully utilized in practical software reliability engineering. However, no single such parametric model can obt...

Previously we reported the inability of genomic prediction methods based on linear models to accurately predict trait values composed of an epistatic genetic architecture. We also reported non-parametric genomic prediction methods applied to the same data produced reasonably accurate predictions. The difference led us to propose analyses by paired parametric and non-parametric methods to the sa...

One of the design challenges that architects and designers encounter during creation stage structural concepts is parametric optimization an architectural object's form. It a very time-consuming difficult process to evaluate building's energy performance as consideration in early stages. To solve performance-related issues, number tools techniques have been created past few decades, primarily e...

With the flexibility and modularity of construction system, ancient Chinese architecture was a configurative system until modern time when it became figurative with nationalistic symbolism, lost its to adapt in different functions. Through this study, researchers try exploit release powerful adaptation by using method parametric design. First all, according theory, logic traditional structural ...

The traditional teaching model of landscape architecture education is teacher-centered classroom lectures, which cannot effectively satisfy students’ curiosity and stimulate their creative thinking computational skills, resulting in low willingness to learn, inattentiveness, lack participation discussions interactions. This study attempts combine the BOPPPS structure Design-Based Learning innov...

This paper presents a data-driven model-based control system for autonomous underwater vehicles (or AUVs) subject to input delays. work is motivated by the time delays that can arise in robotics due communication restrictions and sensor malfunctions. Such highly degrade performance of classical structures resulting unpredictable behaviours. The proposed architecture addresses such limitations. ...

Using a variant of Clariso-Cortadella’s parametric method for verifying asynchronous circuits, we formally derive a set of linear constraints that ensure the correctness of some crucial timing behaviours of the architecture of SPSMALL memory. This allows us to check two different implementations of this architecture.

This paper presents a novel non-parametric approximate dynamic programming (ADP) algorithm that enjoys graceful approximation and sample complexity guarantees. In particular, we establish both theoretically and computationally that our proposal can serve as a viable alternative to state-of-the-art parametric ADP algorithms, freeing the designer from carefully specifying an approximation archite...

IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) is the commonly accepted data exchange standard for Building Information Models (BIM). However, the geometric representation in IFC is restricted to explicit, extrusion and CSG (Constructive Solid Geometry) approaches. Accordingly, the exchange of parametric geometry between parametric design applications used in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construct...

To facilitate the design of large-scale, self-adaptive systems, we have developed the Port-Based Adaptable Agent Architecture. This distributed, multiagent architecture allows systems to be created with the flexibility and modularity required for the rapid construction of software systems that analyze and dynamically modify themselves to improve performance. This architecture provides user-leve...
