: Model transformations play a significant role in model based software development, and the correctness of the transformation is crucial to the success of the development effort. ...
In this work, we propose to improve the neighboring relationship ability of the Hidden Markov Chain (HMC) model, by extending the memory lengthes of both the Markov chain process ...
Components provide an easy to use programming paradigm allowing for better re-usability of application code. In the context of distributed programming, autonomous hierarchical com...
In this paper, we present a formal model, named PobSAM (Policy-based Self-Adaptive Model), for modeling self-adaptive systems. In this model, policies are used as a mechanism to d...

In various application domains there is a desire to compare process models, e.g., to relate an organization-specific process model to a reference model, to find a web service matc...

Gouveia et al. [3] show how to model the Hop Constrained Minimum Spanning tree problem as Steiner tree problem on a layered graph. Following their ideas, we provide three possibil...
Robust model selection procedures control the undue influence that outliers can have on the selection criteria by using both robust point estimators and a bounded loss function wh...
An m-sample semiparametric model in which the ratio of m - 1 probability density functions with respect to the mth is of a known parametric form without reference to any parametri...
ABSTRACT. This paper introduces a tree-based model that combines aspects of CART (Classification and Regression Trees) and STR (Smooth Transition Regression). The model is called t...
Needs of multimedia systems evolved due to the evolution of their architecture which is now distributed into heterogeneous contexts. A critical issue lies in the fact that they ha...
