Multi-level modeling is considered to provide advancements over the traditional modeling approaches. It is applicable, among others, to scenarios where more than two classification levels are required and a rigid dichotomy between classes and objects needs to be relaxed. As the Model-Based User Interface Development (MBUID) inherently encompasses more than two classification levels, there are c...

The NEOS Server provides access to optimization solvers through the Internet with a suite of interfaces. In particular, the Kestrel interface enables the remote solution of optimization problems within the AMPL and GAMS modeling languages. Problem generation, including the run-time detection of syntax errors, occurs on the local machine using any available modeling language facilities. Solution...

tasks Tasks which require complex activities whose performance cannot be univocally allocated. A user session with a system. The phases three to five are supported by the Teresa (Transformation Environment for Interactive Systems Representations, [Mori et al. 2004]) environment, a software tool for semi-automatic design of user-interfaces beginning with a CTT task specification. It provides sug...

Adsorptive separation techniques are significantly energy efficient in comparison to conventional thermal such as distillation. Despite extensive research and development activities undertaken for mixed-gas adsorption, the use of adsorption multicomponent liquid mixtures is still limited. A major barrier lack accurate thermodynamic models, which form scientific foundation process simulation sys...

Tapping is an immensely important gesture in mobile touchscreen interfaces, yet people still frequently are required to learn which elements tappable through trial and error. Predicting human behavior for this everyday can help app designers understand aspect of the usability their apps without having run a user study. In chapter, we present approach modeling tappability interfaces at scale. We...

Component based development in the design phase necessitates a comprehensive look at both static and dynamic UML views. If a design is to incorporate third-party components, one must define component interfaces. We propose a method for defining components in the design phase that can be used for qualification purposes. Coupling and frequency metrics are used to make component definition decisio...
