Large software systems often have complex subparts and complex build processes, and engage in subtle relationships with the underlying technologies from which they are designed and constructed. Most reverse engineering toolkits ignore the attributes and relationships of system construction; instead, they concentrate on static relationships among externally visible source code elements. This pap...

In order to conduct analyses on genome data, different calculation steps have to be done in a specific order, which constitutes a genome data processing pipeline. Still a lot of research is in process, in order to find faster and more reliable ways to do various analyses, so single steps or the whole sequence of the pipelines might be subject to change. Amodular and flexibleway to configure pip...

Biosciences have been revolutionized by next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies in last years, leading to new perspectives in medical, industrial and environmental applications. And although our motivation comes from biosciences, the following is true for many areas of science: published results are usually hard to reproduce either because data is not available or tools are not readily av...

of the Dissertation Programmable Graphics Pipelines Programmability of graphics pipelines has proven to be an extremely valuable tool in the hands of shader authors and game programmers, and is one of the driving forces behind the ubiquity of high-quality visual content across the computing ecosystem. This dissertation presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of an abstraction that e...

Scheduling product batches in pipelines is a very complex task with many constraints to be considered. Several papers have been published on the ubject during the last decade. Most of them are based on large-size MILP discrete time scheduling models whose computational efficiency greatly iminishes for rather long time horizons. Recently, an MILP continuous problem representation in both time an...

Original scientific paper In the pipelines of water supply systems, the water hammer phenomenon often arises during rapid unsteady developments. Pipelines are mostly protected using an air vessel, which is designed by means of equations for oscillations of water mass. In this study, an analysis is made of the impact of pressure increases caused by water hammer on pressure variations in pipeline...
