-à-vis alternative system representation and analysis techniques have led to their increasing use in a variety of contexts, including product develop-ment, project planning, project management, systems engineering, and organization design. This paper reviews two types of DSMs, static and time-based DSMs, and four

ABSTRACT PHP is one of the most popular languages for server-side application development. The language is highly dynamic, providing programmers with a large amount of flexibility. However, these dynamic features also have a cost, making it difficult to apply traditional static analysis techniques

Abstract—Static analysis on integration level is a method of checking the usage of interfaces between software modules (function calls and global variables) without executing the software system. The interfaces are analyzed by a tool without referencing an interface specification or documented

information flow and it is important to develop such mechanisms and advance their usage in software practice. This paper proposes run-time information flow models, and new static information flow inference analysis. The analysis is context-sensitive, cubic, and works both on complete programs and software

development images (video sequences); and clinical images such as CT, MRI and ultrasound in the DICOM format. This paper presents developments to date including: a tool to convert static tables or graphs into interactive entities, authoring procedures followed to create prototypes, and advantages

for Pharo Smalltalk and Java. In Pharo Smalltalk, methods are commonly searched for using a code browser tool called “Nautilus”, and in Java using a web browser displaying HTML based documentation – Javadoc. We developed plugins for both browsers and gathered method usage data from open source projects

In both cases, a process of construction must be gone through and this process can be supported by operationalizable approaches to the creation of models. The processes of development and usage of a

Computational plant models or 'virtual plants' are increasingly seen as a useful tool for comprehending complex relationships between gene function, plant physiology, plant development, and the resulting plant form. The theory of L-systems, which was introduced by Lindemayer in 1968, has

Abstract: Online learning initia-tives over the past decade have become increasingly comprehen-sive in their selection of courses and sophisticated in their presen-tation, culminating in the recent announcement of a number of consortium and startup activities that promise to make a university education on the internet, free of charge, a real possibility. At this pivotal moment it is appropriate to explore the potential for obtaining comprehensive bioinformatics training with currently existing free video resources. This article pre-sents such a bioinformatics curric-ulum in the form of a virtual course catalog, together with editorial commentary, and an assessment of strengths, weaknesses, and likely future directions for open online learning in this field. Online Learning Comes of Age Online academic ‘‘courseware’ ’ at the university level has now been available to the public for a decade, the earliest concerted effort having originated in 2002 with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and their OpenCour-seWare initiative
