A metric for evaluating software architecture and communication models consistency

Jean-Yves Lafaye, Georges Louis (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

Among several alternative viewpoints for building software quality metrics, evaluating the consistency between different models in a software specification or implementation appears to be fruitful. An obvious difficulty is that different models are usually expressed by means of different concepts, and then, confronting heterogeneous representations is not straightforward. In this paper, we propose a solution for measuring the consistency between the architecture and the communication...

Refinement of UML collaborations

Bogumila Hnatkowska, Zbigniew Huzar, Lech Tuzinkiewicz (2006)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The paper concerns the concept of refinement as a commonly used design practice in the software development process. The refinement relationship is formulated and formally expressed for UML collaborations. Collaborations are suitable for presenting the proposed approach as they represent both static and dynamic aspects of a modeled system or its part, for example, a use case. Our approach to refinement is based on the rule of preserving the observable behavior of a modeled system. The...

Designing an E-Mail Prototype to Enhance Effective Communication and Task Management: A Case Study

Katz, Adi, Berman, Irit (2011)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

This paper deals with communicational breakdowns and misunderstandings in computer mediated communication (CMC) and ways to recover from them or to prevent them. The paper describes a case study of CMC conducted in a company named Artigiani. We observed communication and conducted content analysis of e-mail messages, focusing on message exchanges between customer service representatives (CSRs) and their contacts. In addition to task management difficulties, we identified communication...

The communication hierarchy of time and space bounded parallel machines

Norbert Popély (2003)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

We describe the communicating alternating machines and their simulation. We show that, in the case of communicating alternating machines which are bounded, simultaneously, by polynomial time and logarithmic space, the use of three communication levels instead of two does not increase computational power of communicating alternating machines. This resolves an open problem [2] concerning the exact position of machines with three communication levels in the hierarchy.

Building Mathematical Models and Biological Insight in an Introductory Biology Course

A. E. Weisstein (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

A growing body of literature testifies to the importance of quantitative reasoning skills in the 21st-century biology curriculum, and to the learning benefits associated with active pedagogies. The process of modeling a biological system provides an approach that integrates mathematical skills and higher-order thinking with existing course content knowledge. We describe a general strategy for teaching model-building in an introductory ...
