ActoMoS is an actor-based software library for the development of agent-based models and for their simulation. This library offers software components and tools for modeling and simulating systems in different application domains. In particular, it allows the definition of agent model by reusing or extending a set of predefined agent models and supports efficient and scalable agent-based simula...

Properly structured software libraries are crucial for the success of software reuse. Specifically, the structure of the software library ought to reflect the functional similarity of the stored software components in order to facilitate the retrieval process. We propose the application of artificial neural network technology to achieve such a structured library. In more detail, we utilize an a...

Software intensively depends on external libraries whose relevance may change during its life cycle. As a consequence, software developers must periodically reconsider the libraries they depend on, and must think about library migration. To our knowledge, no existing study has been done to understand library migration although it is known to be an expensive maintenance task. Are library migrati...

Automation of library services and the use of open source software are essential for efficiency and effectiveness and at a minimal cost, too. Library automation benefits both the library staff and the users as it reduces the level of job stress on the staff and enhances remote and timely provision of up-to-date information to the users. This literature based opinion paper majorly aimed to estab...

BACKGROUND Complex PCR applications for large genome-scale projects require fast, reliable and often highly sophisticated primer design software applications. Presently, such applications use pipelining methods to utilise many third party applications and this involves file parsing, interfacing and data conversion, which is slow and prone to error. A fully integrated suite of software tools for...

A real-time software simulator library scope is presented. It consist of hardware, software, transaction, and event generator components that can be concatenated to form a core real-time database simulator. The goal of the library is to allow simulator designers to use a well tested and documented software to implement basic database simulator functionality. All additional and research-speciic ...
