The development process in software product line engineering is divided into domain engineering and application engineering. As a consequence of this division, tests should be performed in both processes. However, existing testing techniques for single systems cannot be applied during domain engineering, because of the variability in the domain artifacts. Existing software product line test tec...

In this paper, an effective technique is proposed to determine thenumerical solution of nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integralequations (VFIEs) which is based on interpolation by the hybrid ofradial basis functions (RBFs) including both inverse multiquadrics(IMQs), hyperbolic secant (Sechs) and strictly positive definitefunctions. Zeros of the shifted Legendre polynomial are used asthe collocatio...

The paper describes an edge localization and contour integration technique that is parallel and modular in terms of the communication and computation structures. The technique can also detect corners and junctions accurately. Our technique is biologically motivated, in particular the biological behavior known as dynamic receptive fields or shortterm plasticity. Extensive experiments are conduct...

In this paper, a numerical method for solving the constrained optimal control of time-varying singular systems with quadratic performance index is presented. Presented method is based on Bernste in polynomials. Operational matrices of integration, differentiation and product are introduced and utilized to reduce the optimal control of time-varying singular problems to the solution of algebraic ...

In this paper, a new numerical method for solving the fractional Riccati differential  equation is presented. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. The method is based upon  fractional-order Bernoulli functions approximations. First, the  fractional-order Bernoulli functions and  their properties are  presented. Then, an operational matrix of fractional order integration...

In this paper, we develop a numerical resolution of the space-time fractional advection-dispersion equation. We utilize spectral-collocation method combining with a product integration technique in order to discretize the terms involving spatial fractional order derivatives that leads to a simple evaluation of the related terms. By using Bernstein polynomial basis, the problem is transformed in...

The commercial integration of optoelectronic devices heavily relies on hybrid techniques such as wire bonding and flip-chip bonding. These methods are limited in the scale and flexibility in integration. Research focused on optoelectronic integration is performed using numerous techniques such as direct epitaxy, full-scale wafer bonding, and selfassembly. Magnetically Assisted Statistical Assem...

A major aim of the Web service platform is the integration of existing software and information systems. Data integration is a central aspect in this context. Traditional techniques for information and data transformation are, however, not sufficient to provide flexible and automatable data integration solutions for Web and Cloud service-enabled information systems. The difficulties arise from ...

Optimization of the complete manufacturing and supply process has become a critical ingredient for gaining a competitive advantage. This article provides a unified mathematical framework for modeling manufacturing cell configuration and raw material supplier selection in a two-level supply chain network. The commonly used manufacturing design parameters along with supplier selection and a subco...

Reactive integration based on event broadcast is an increasingly important technique for developing systems. However, the use of this technique has largely been con ned to tool integration systems { in which tools exist as independent processes { and special-purpose languages { in which specialized forms of event broadcast are designed into the language from the start. This paper broadens the c...
