Smart Cities produce a wealth of data from the network of sensors and devices that are deployed at metropolitan scale. These data are managed by Smart City platforms that may provide APIs for enabling access them. The compatibility of these APIs ...

This study presents the authors’ recent research and application of a new visual programming language and its development environment: VIPLE (Visual IoT/Robotics Programming Language Environment) at Arizona State University (ASU). ASU VIPLE supports a ...

This extended abstract summarizes an article, which has been published in Information and Software Technology and was selected for the Journal-First presentations at the International Conference on Software and System Process (ICSSP 2018).

Systems that are assembled from independently developed features suffer from feature interactions, in which features affect one another's behaviour in surprising ways. The Feature Interaction Problem results from trying to implement an appropriate ...

Computational science and engineering (CSE) software is written by experts of certain area(s). Due to the specialization, existing CSE software may need to integrate other CSE software systems developed by different groups of experts. The coupling ...

Mobile medical apps play an important role within the healthcare industry. Developers of mobile medical apps need to understand what is required when a mobile application fulfils the definition of a medical device. Such applications have to be developed ...

The popular agile practice of continuous integration has become an essential part of the software development process in many companies, sometimes to the extent that delivery to customer is impossible without it. Due to this pivotal role it is an ...

Components of numerous software systems are developed and maintained by multiple stakeholders, and there is significant overlap and synergy in the process of testing systems with shared components. We have designed and implemented infrastructure that ...

There is a steadily increasing interest in the agile practice of continuous integration. Consequently, there is great diversity in how it is interpreted and implemented, and a need to study, document and analyze how automated software integration flows ...

Software product line engineering has spread as a technique for promoting the efficient development of embedded products with many product line-ups. During the development of network switch products at Hitachi Metals, Ltd., the number of development man-...

Production and distribution of lecture related media, especially lecture recordings are becoming more and more important. To produce, distribute and manage this media several independent software packages are commonly used. There is no single place to ...

Today, globalisation has become one of the main trends of manufacturing business that has led to a world-wide decentralisation of resources amongst not only individual departments within one company but also business partners. However, despite the ...

A review of the problems that haunted the FBI's Virtual Case File and Sentinel case management programs and an examination of the technical reasons for these failures provide the basis for recommendations to help avoid their repetition.

Both Geographic Information System (GIS) and Decision Support System (DSS), play an important role in matters of governance or electronic government (e-Government). But GIS and DSS are usually work independently, interactive relationship between the two ...

Service high availability is becoming a must in various domains. Services provided by applications originally not designed for high availability can be rendered highly available by integrating them with a middleware compliant to the SAForum ...

We present a framework for small-scale software architecture comparison (SScAC). Although a considerable chunk of software architectures are developed in small teams, not much related work exists on this topic. The proposed framework introduces a method ...

Numerous software product lines today are built from components supplied by different vendors. Companies situated in the middle of a software supply chain must configure and integrate components from their suppliers and offer (partially configured) ...

Simulation and visualization are powerful decision making tools that are time-saving and cost-effective. Space missions pose testing and evaluation challenges that can be overcome through modeling, simulation, and visualization of mission parameters. ...

According to the feature of software in bioinformatics field, this paper proposes a suite of software integration solution based on grid service—SoSIS. In the method, other solutions’ ideas are used for referenced, such as PISE, myGrid and VINCA. ...

A growing number of networked applications is implemented on increasingly complex automotive platforms with several bus standards and gateways. Together, they challenge the automotive design process. Recent automotive software standards, in particular ...
