Project-centered learning increasingly demands for communication tools to enhance learners’ virtual interaction. In the context of the COOPER EU project a model-based approach has been conceived to support and facilitate the introduction of a set of VoIP (Voice over IP) services within collaborative environments. This paper discusses the integration of two up-to-date technologies enabling Web a...

Management of product constituent fragments is essential for large scale logically or physically distributed projects. Geographically distributed development projects have special settings and needs – special attention has to be given to product fragments management because developers are likely to use different representation formats and a variety of tools for the artefacts production. The que...

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am grateful to Dr. Douglas Schmidt and Dr. Aniruddha Gokhale for their helps and support throughout my studies. I would also like to thank to all of the DOC group people for their respectful ideas, helps in implementing many of them and answering my never ending questions. I would like to especially thank to my family for their emotional support.

We gained experiences in implementing rule based model transformations within an industrial case study called Model-Driven Performance Engineering (MDPE). Similar to other MDE scenarios, these transformations have been implemented via multiple transformation steps interconnected in an automated model transformation chain. In this short paper, we use the MDPE case study to demonstrate reasons fo...

MDP is a workshop about the interrelation of modeldriven development (MDD) and development processes. The workshop provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange experiences on the questions how processes need to adapt or can be adapted when model-driven techniques are applied. We argue that the interrelation between MDD and development processes can be crucial for the success o...

ions for conceptual and computational modeling. Thus, the developers often require the necessary acquisition of new skills to understand and design with the MAS methodologies. As a consequence, the creation of applications is very hard and difficult for the MAS developer, because there is no agreement about a common group of components that can be used across different MAS methodologies and pla...

Dekel, Lipman, and Rustichini [2008] attempt "[to identify] the broadest possible set of temptation-driven behavior." They argue that a desire for commitment characterizes such behavior. However, we argue that they go too far by including preferences which are not temptation-driven. We introduce two axioms which are stronger than their Desire for Commitment and weaker than Gul and Pesendorfer’s...
