One roof, two thermal modes

While seasonally fixed passive coolers provide thermal relief during heat-stress periods, their intrinsic mechanism of continuous heat dissipation renders them inherently thermally penalizing during the heating season. Here, we report and h...

Automatic Detection of Abnormal EEG Signals Using WaveNet and LSTM

Neurological disorders have an extreme impact on global health, affecting an estimated one billion individuals worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), these neurological disorders contribute to approximately six million...

An automated qualitative analysis of real-time systems using Timed Petri net and SPIN

Verification of real-time system properties using formal models can improve system design and quality. The Timed Petri net is a formal model for modelling and designing real-time systems with time constraints. Furthermore, model checking is...

Experimental study on start-up and steady-state heat transfer performance of heat pipe with liquid bypass line for accelerating working fluid

This study investigates the start-up and steady-state heat transfer performance of a heat pipe with a bypass line for accelerating a working fluid. The interface resistance by the counterflow of vapor and liquid under the operation of a hea...

A Fuzzy DEMATEL Application for Criteria Affecting Database Management System Selection in a Specific Problem Context

Database management systems (DBMS) are one of the basic building blocks of many software projects developed in technology companies. However, each DBMS supports different features. It is practically impossible and costly to try out all DBMS...

MacroSwarm: A Field-based Compositional Framework for Swarm Programming

Swarm behaviour engineering is an area of research that seeks to investigate methods and techniques for coordinating computation and action within groups of simple agents to achieve complex global goals like pattern formation, collective mo...

Non-Motorized License Plate Recognition and Localization Method Based on Semantic Alignment and Hierarchical Optimization

Holding non-motorized vehicles accountable for legal violations effectively enhances urban traffic safety. Non-motorized vehicle license plates are characterized by small size, dense distribution, and ease of being obscured, which leads to ...

The management of software engineering, Part I: Principles of software engineering

Software engineering may be defined as the systematic design and development of software prod-ucts and the management of the software pro-cess. Software engineering has as one of its primary objectives the production of programs that meet s...

Empirical studies of software engineering

PointersEmpirical study play a fundamental role in modern science, helping us understand how and why things work, and allowing us to use this understanding to materially alter our world.Defining and executing studies that change how softwar...

Beginning Software Engineering

Beginning Software Engineering demystifies the software engineering methodologies and techniques that professional developers use to design and build robust, efficient, and consistently reliable software. Free of jargon and assuming no prev...

Software engineering, the software process and their support

Computers are being applied more and more widely, penetrating ever deeper into the very fabric of society. Mankind is becoming increasingly dependent on the availability of software and its continuing validity. To achieve this consistently ...

Collaboration in Software Engineering: A Roadmap

Software engineering projects are inherently cooperative, requiring many software engineers to coordinate their efforts to produce a large software system. Integral to this effort is developing shared understanding surrounding multiple arti...

Software engineering: Theory and practice

A book that describes and applies Software Engineering methods according to the state of the art of the subject matter; it is integrated with a proper exemplification and evolves as each topic is introduced. The material is designed for und...

Software engineering for security

Integrating Security Considerations smoothly into early life-cycle activities: uniform application of cost-benefit analyses to both functional, and security requrements; unified modeling approaches to integrate the engineering of both funct...

Cleanroom Software Engineering

Software quality can be engineered under statistical quality control and delivered with better quality. The Cleanroom process gives management an engineering approach to release reliable products....

Applications of Ontologies in Software Engineering

The emerging field of semantic web technologies promises new stimulus for Software Engineering research. However, since the underlying concepts of the semantic web have a long tradition in the knowledge engineering field, it is sometimes ha...

Agent-based software engineering

The technology of intelligent agents and multi-agent systems is expected to alter radically the way in which complex, distributed, open systems are conceptualised and implemented. The paper considers the problem of building a multi-agent sy...
