Typically, a researcher will determine which signal source to base a control system on, devise a decoder that translates acquired signals into computerized actions, then design an experiment to validate and refine the decoder. A major challenge for researchers in this process is the actual development and execution of the software needed to facilitate the experiments, especially in the case of ...

The Software Concordance is a hypermedia software development environment exploring how document technology and versioned hypermedia can improve software document management. The Software Concordance’s central tool is a document editor that integrates program analysis and hypermedia services for both source code and multimedia documentation in XML. The editor allows developers to embed inline m...

Transparent computing (TC) can be thought as a special kind of cloud computing that regards storage as a service. TC logically splits the software stack from the underlying hardware platform, and separates the computing unit from storage for the purpose of making the same software run on different hardware and different software run on the same hardware. TC requires a unified software-hardware ...

In [Perry 85] we reported work in progress on the analysis of software interface faults in a large software system. In this update of that work, we complete the analysis of the interface faults for this large system and extend our results. In our original analysis, we determined that there were 15 categories of interface faults in the prima facie interface fault set of errors reports. We add on...

concrete deformation due to temperature and moisture condition will always develop simultaneously and interactively. the environmentally (hygral and thermally) induced stress and deformation are essential to concrete durability. to simulate the deformation of concrete caused by the coupling effect of temperature and moisture, a numerical simulation approach is proposed comprising analytical pro...

Software Interfaces are meant to describe contracts governing interactions between logic modules. Interfaces, if well designed, significantly reduce software complexity and ease maintainability. However, as software evolves, the organization and the quality of software interfaces gradually deteriorate. As a consequence, this often leads to increased development cost, lower code quality and redu...
