Against the backdrop of the development of modern technologies in the field of scientific research, the new class of Current Research Information Systems (CRIS) and related intelligent information technologies have arisen. It was called – Research and Development Workstation Environment (RDWE) – the comprehensive problem-oriented information systems for scientific research and development lifec...

Industry is increasingly adopting software and system safety standards that mandate the use of hazard logs in the development and operation of safety critical systems. Hazard logs are used to record and track the results of hazard analysis and risk assessment throughout the lifecycle of the system. Even relatively simple systems give rise to large amounts of information and the need for tools t...

As such, the effective collaboration among customers, developers, suppliers, and manufacturers throughout the entire product lifecycle is becoming much more important for the most advanced competitiveness. To address this need, a fr...

Maintenance of web applications is a difficult and error-prone task because many design decisions are not directly at run time, but rather embedded in file-based resources. In this paper we introduce the WebComposition system addressing this problem. This system is based on a fine-grained object-oriented web application model, and maintains access to it throughout the lifecycle for management a...

the engineers can frequently encounter with the situation to select the optimum option among the alternatives related with tunneling operations. the optimum choice can be selected by the experienced engineers taking into consideration their judgment and intuition. however, decision-making methods can offer to the engineers to support their optimum selection for a particular application in a sci...

BACKGROUND & AIMS A 3-dimensional (3D) culture system for immortalized human hepatocytes (HuS-E/2 cells) recently was shown to support the lifecycle of blood-borne hepatitis C virus (HCV). We used this system to identify proteins that are active during the HCV lifecycle under 3D culture conditions. METHODS We compared gene expression profiles of HuS-E/2 cells cultured under 2-dimensional and ...

In this article we describe support for a digital objects lifecycle, which we have created during our digital library related works. Basing on our experiences from WBC digital library, we intend to show how a properly constructed lifecycle can extend the functionality of digital libraries for both library readers and librarians responsible for maintaining content gathered in a digital library.

Electronic contracts (e-contracts) create obligations, permissions, and prohibitions for the parties in the Internet. However, the support to interpret and enforce the clauses related to contracts is limited in current implementations. Besides, e-contracts must follow the continuous change of business rules. The service provider must make available the services that enable the parties to satisf...
