In this paper we describe our experiences with the development of a platform in the medical imaging domain. Three important ingredients of this platform are components, interfaces...
Abstract. Class hierarchies, though theoretically reusable, have generally not seen much practical reuse in applications, due in part to the inflexibility of the inheritance relat...
Architecture conception is a difficult and time consuming process, requiring advanced skills from the software architect. The tasks of an architect are alleviated if means can be p...
Abstract. The C++ language has only a limited runtime type information system, which doesn’t provide full reflection capabilities. We present a general mechanism to support refle...
Semidefinite programming based approximation algorithms, such as the Goemans and Williamson approximation algorithm for the MAX CUT problem, are usually shown to have certain perf...
Given a binary relation IE ∪ IR on the set of ground terms e signature, we define an abstract rewrite closure for IE ∪ IR. act rewrite closure can be interpreted as a speciali...
We say a polynomial P over ZZM strongly M -represents a Boolean function F if F(x) ≡ P(x) (mod M) for all x ∈ {0, 1}n . Similarly, P one-sidedly M -represents F if F(x) = 0 ⇐...
Abstract. In [12] we started a research on a distributed-timed extension of Petri nets where time parameters are associated with tokens and arcs carry constraints that qualify the ...
