Over recent decades, "Transit-oriented development" has been developed as a new approach based on sustainability concepts. This approach is mainly concerning coordinated action between land use planning and transportation planning which tries to create a clean, people friendly, livable, and dynamic community with growing local economy. Today, old urban centers face enormous challenges in terms ...

Formalizing a modeling technique broaches issues including development of software specification, design, analysis, and synthesis. Software engineering methodologies should be grounded on rigorous principles and not on ad hoc approaches. Our approach is to integrate the recently published industrial standard graphic notation UML (Unified Modeling Language), for object-oriented modeling, and PVS...

This paper presents an open programmable editor for the XC6200 based on object-oriented modelling principles. The motivation for this approach is to reduce the gap between conngurable hardware capabilities and up to date development systems. The paper shortly discusses the direction followed for architecture synthesis.

This paper discusses perspectives for conceptualizing and developing hand-based wearable musical interfaces. Previous implementations of such interfaces have not been targeted for music pedagogical use. We propose principles for pedagogically oriented ‘musical hand’ and outline its development through the process of prototyping, which involves a variety of methods. The current functional protot...

This paper describes the development of a control and monitoring oriented model of a plastic film manufacturing process. The model is mainly derived from first-principles and has been implemented in the Matlab/Simulink dynamic simulation environment. The development of the model forms the first phase of a project that aims to develop a nonlinear sub-space based monitoring, fault detection and t...

This report describes a conceptual framework for supporting software engineering. The approach relies on object-oriented concepts, but is not limited to object-oriented software engineering. The basic idea is the notion of a three-dimensional graph structure, which serves to capture and to classify development activities and their resulting documents (the elements of software engineering). The ...

Service-oriented programming (SOP) is abstracted from industrial application development practices and attracts more and more concerns from programmers and developers. The major question programmers and developers may ask is “is SOP a sound direction for software development?” or “should I learn and apply this paradigm in my work?” This paper clarifies this question by tracing programming style...
