Value-based software engineering

Much of current software engineering practice and research is done in a value-neutral setting, in which every requirement, use case, object, and defect is treated as equally important; methods are presented and practiced as largely logical ...

Systematic Mapping Studies in Software Engineering

BACKGROUND: A software engineering systematic map is a defined method to build a classification scheme and structure a software engineering field of interest. The analysis of results focuses on frequencies of publications for categories wit...

Performance Evaluation for Moving Target Tracking Algorithm Based on Orthogonal Test

The performance evaluation of existing moving target tracking algorithms has many drawbacks,such as massive amount of data,redundant tests and insufficient consideration on algorithm performance under multifactor situation.Therefore,this pa...

Default Detection Rate-Dependent Software Reliability Model with Imperfect Debugging

From the perspective of FDR (fault detection rate), which is an indispensable component in reliability modeling, this paper proposes two kinds of reliability models under imperfect debugging. This model is a relatively flexible and unified ...

FCM Clustering Algorithms for Segmentation of Brain MR Images

The study of brain disorders requires accurate tissue segmentation of magnetic resonance (MR) brain images which is very important for detecting tumors, edema, and necrotic tissues. Segmentation of brain images, especially into three main t...

Improved PageRank Algorithm Based on User Behavior and Topic Similarity in Microblog Environment

Aiming at the theme drifting and the page weight splitting of traditional PageRank algorithm,an improved PageRank algorithm is proposed.In order to improve the user query efficiency and search quality,combined with the time feedback factor,...

Sentiment analysis for software engineering

Sentiment analysis has been applied to various software engineering (SE) tasks, such as evaluating app reviews or analyzing developers' emotions in commit messages. Studies indicate that sentiment analysis tools provide unreliable results w...

Recommended Steps for Thematic Synthesis in Software Engineering

Thematic analysis is an approach that is often used for identifying, analyzing, and reporting patterns (themes) within data in primary qualitative research. 'Thematic synthesis' draws on the principles of thematic analysis and identifies th...

Numerical computation of Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects on rotational micropolar nanomaterials with activation energy

The current article investigates the numerical study of the micropolar nanofluid flow through a 3D rotating surface. This communication may manipulate for the aim such as the delivery of the drug, cooling of electronic chips, nanoscience an...

A Scalable Real-Time SDN-Based MQTT Framework for Industrial Applications

The increasing prominence of concepts such as Smart Production and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) within the context of Industry 4.0 has introduced a new set of requirements for the engineering of industrial systems, including support...

Software Engineering: An Engineering Approach

From the Publisher: A clear-cut, practical approach to software development! Emphasizing both the design and analysis of the technology, Peters and Pedrycz have written a comprehensive and complete text on a quantitative approach to softwa...

Software engineering economics

This work aims to shed light on an important topic that has begun to emerge in recent years, which is the economics of software engineering as a basic pillar in national development and confronting the competitive market challenges that cha...

Advances and perspectives for receiver function imaging of the Earth's internal discontinuities and velocity structures

Studying the structures, properties and origins of the Earth's internal discontinuities is an important part in the efforts to understand the physical and chemical properties of the layered Earth, as well as to explore the dynamic processes...

Multiwavelength Study of Five Distant Transient Gamma-Ray AGNs with z > 1

The multiwavelength emissions, especially gamma-rays, of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are essential for studying the physical properties of jets emanating from supermassive black holes at galaxy centers. However, for high-redshift AGNs, it...

String with deformed dispersion relation

Abstract We study string theory with momentum living on de Sitter space. We argue that consistency of the theory implies that the global momentum can be defined on de Sitter space. Then we perform careful canonical analysis and we we also s...

Chemical and Orbital Signatures of Three Hypervelocity Stars: Constraints on the Origins

We present a chemodynamical analysis of three hypervelocity stars (HVS) selected from the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope medium-resolution spectroscopic survey and Gaia. The high-resolution follow-up observation w...
