the software industry is a manifestation of soft skills as well as human abstract and intangible thinking based on human intelligence. however, the effects are understandable. passing the hardware era and considering software technologies reveals the necessity of the capable human factor and software industry. despite the efforts that have been made in this field in iran, yet the technology is ...

Finding robust solutions of an optimization problem is an important issue in practice. The established concept of Ben-Tal et al. [2] requires that a robust solution is feasible for all possible scenarios. However, this concept is very conservative and hence may lead to solutions with a bad objective value and is in many cases hard to solve. Thus it is not suitable for most practical application...

In the context of current increasing variety, interconnectivity and alteration, many methods and tools for planning and decision-making such as time series analysis and trend extrapolation do not longer work out. Along the demands for good governance and open government, policy-makers need concise, reliable and up-to-date information to manage society's problems and affairs in an efficient and ...

An evolutionary approach to design communication protocols from scenario-based specifications is presented. It enables to automatically generate finite-state models of protocol entities from Message Sequence Charts. By converting the Message Sequence Charts into input/output sequences, the problem reduces to evolving finite-state machines with the specified input/output behaviors. The proposed ...

This paper proposes a Cross Impact Analysis for supporting critical infrastructures risk analysis. This methodology contributes to decision-makers and planners with analytical tools for modeling complex situations. These features are generally useful in emergency management and particularly within the critical infrastructures scope, where complex scenarios for risk analysis and emergency plans ...

As modern systems become more complex, design approaches model different aspects of the system separately. When considering (intra and inter) system interactions, it is usual to model individual scenarios using UML’s sequence diagrams. Given a set of scenarios we then need to check whether these are consistent and can be combined for a better understanding of the overall behaviour. This paper a...

In this paper we address the combination of the physical and digital worlds in the context of a mobile collaborative activity. Our work seeks to accommodate the needs of professional users by joining their physical and digital operational worlds in a seamless way. Our application domain is archaeological prospecting. We present our approach of the design process, based on field studies and on t...

A model-driven approach to scenario-based requirements engineering is proposed. The approach, which is based on Computer Automated Multi-Paradigm Modeling (CAMPaM), aims to improve the software process. A framework is given and implemented to reason about models of systems at multiple levels of abstraction, to transform between models in different formalisms, and to provide and evolve modeling ...
