in this paper, the problem of simultaneous shape and size optimization of single-layer barrel vault frames which contains both of discrete and continuous variables is addressed. in this method, the improved magnetic charged system search (imcss) is utilized as the optimization algorithm and the open application programming interface (oapi) plays the role of interfacing analysis software with th...

The objective of this paper is to present an optimal design for single-layer barrel vault frames via improved magnetic charged system search (IMCSS) and open application programming interface (OAPI). The IMCSS algorithm is utilized as the optimization algorithm and the OAPI is used as an interface tool between analysis software and the programming language. In the proposed algorithm, magnetic c...

an interactive application, modelface, was presented for modeller software based on windows platform. the application is able to run all steps of homology modeling including pdb to fasta generation, running clustal, model building and loop refinement. other modules of modeler including energy calculation, energy minimization and the ability to make single point mutations in the pdb structures a...

Organizing the peer review process for a scientific conference can be a cumbersome task. Electronic conference management systems support chairs and reviewers in managing the huge amount of submissions. These system implement the complete work-flow of a scientific conference. We present a new approach to such systems. By providing an open API framework instead of a closed system it enables exte...

Electronic Health Records (EHR) offer patients the opportunity to access their own medical records. Google and Microsoft recently extended their public services by introducing internet-based personal healthcare information platforms – Google Health and Microsoft HealthVault. Over one hundred thousand people have registered at the two services since they were launched. Both companies invite othe...

An open API for Application Response-time Measurement (ARM) was announced on June 24, 1996. This paper will show an implementation of ARM that is working and providing information that, in the author’s opinion, would not have been possible without it. A group of three application providers, a system management vendor, and the customer agreed to use ARM as the standard to instrument the applicat...

Micro-­‐blogging through Twitter has made information short and to the point, and more importantly systematically searchable. This work is the first of a series in which quotidian observations about Tunisia are obtained using the micro-­‐blogging site Twitter. Data was extracted using the open source Twitter API v1.1. Specific tweets were obtained using functional search operators in particular...
