The recovery of „higher-level“ representations from given source code of an existing software system is important for the development of program families. Therefore, we evaluated current reverse engineering technology to which extent and how architectural elements can be identified in a software system. The architecture recovery framework we discuss in this paper is ongoing research work within...

Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) technology is becoming an important tool to assess treatment response in clinical trials. However, CAD software alone is not sufficient to conduct an imaging-based clinical trial. There are a number of architectural requirements such as image receive (from multiple field sites), a database for storing quantitative measures, and data mining and reporting capabiliti...

The implementation of a number of FIR filter structures in the Xilinx XC6200 technology is presented. The designs have been implemented using a combination of IRIS, an architectural synthesis tool and Trianus/Hades a set of integrated tools for implementing algorithms on Custom Computing Machines. The main attraction of this approach is that it allows algorithms to be compiled quickly allowing ...

Iranian historical houses constitute a significant part of the architectural heritage of the country both qualitatively and quantitatively though due research is not conducted on them. This study investigates t0he physical evolution of Qajar House of Baqeri in Gorganand attempts to monitor life stream over its lifespan. The study also investigates the effect of external transformations on archi...

Almost all of electric utility companies are planning to improve their management automation system, in order to meet the changing requirements of new liberalized energy market and to benefit from the innovations in information and communication technology (ICT or IT). Architectural design of the utility management automation (UMA) systems for their IT-enabling requires proper selection of ...

Improvement of rural settlements is an urgent task to create attractive living conditions, preserve cultural traditions, develop ethnic tourism and a unique look for the villages Don region. It advisable make small architectural forms concrete, which versatile durable material that allows any designer’s creative idea be realized. The performed studies have established it rational produce from f...

To cope with frequent changes and functional additions of operation and support systems (OSSs), a guideline of OSS's architecture and development methods is needed. TeleManagement Forum (TMF) has provided NGOSS technology-neutral architecture (TNA), which describes major concepts and architectural details of the NGOSS architecture in a technologically neutral manner. The TNA can be mapped onto ...

This paper offers a close reading of one architectural text engaged in “knowledge transfer”: the use of evolutionary biology discourse as an explanatory account and authority claim supporting Greg Lynn’s Embryological House Project (2000). This essay addresses the twin conference themes of knowledge transfer and the potential threat posed to the specificity of architectural techniques. By offer...
