Modeling Excitable Tissue : The EMI Framework
This volume presents a novel computational framework for understanding how collections of excitable cells work. The key approach in the text is to model excitable tissue by representing the individual cells constituting the tissue. This is in stark contrast to the common approach where homogenization is used to develop models where the cells are not explicitly present. The approach allows for very detailed analysis of small collections of excitable cells, but computational challenges limit the applicability in the presence of large collections of cells.
Modeling and Management of Fuzzy Semantic RDF Data
Presents the latest research findings in fuzzy RDF data modeling and management. Fuzziness widely exist in many data and knowledge intensive applications. With the increasing amount of metadata available, efficient and scalable management of massive semantic data with uncertainty is of crucial importance. This book goes to great depth concerning the fast-growing topic of technologies and approaches of modeling and managing fuzzy metadata with Resource Description Framework (RDF) format. Its major topics include representation of fuzzy RDF data, fuzzy RDF graph matching, query of fuzzy RDF data, and persistence of fuzzy RDF data in diverse databases. The objective of the book is to provide the state-of-the-art information to researchers, practitioners, and postgraduates students who work on the area of big data intelligence and at the same time serve as the uncertain data and knowledge engineering professional as a valuable real-world reference.
Model-Driven Testing : Using the UML Testing Profile
Written by the original members of this standardization group, this book shows you how to use UML to test complex software systems. The authors introduce UTP step-by-step, using a case study that illustrates how UTP can be used for test modeling and test specification. You’ll learn how UTP concepts can be used for functional and non-functional testing, with example applications and best practices for user-interfaces and service oriented architectures. In addition, the authors demonstrate how to apply UTP using frameworks like TTCN-3 and the JUnit test framework for Java.
Model-Driven Development and Operation of Multi-Cloud Applications : The MODAClouds Approach
In this book readers will find technological discussions on the existing and emerging technologies across the different stages of the big data value chain. They will learn about legal aspects of big data, the social impact, and about education needs and requirements. And they will discover the business perspective and how big data technology can be exploited to deliver value within different sectors of the economy. The book is structured in four parts: Part I "The Big Data Opportunity" explores the value potential of big data with a particular focus on the European context. It also describes the legal, business and social dimensions that need to be addressed, and briefly introduces the European Commission's BIG project.
Model-Driven Design Using Business Patterns
This book takes exactly this step: it shows you how to apply the pattern ideas in business applications and presents more than 20 structural and behavioral business patterns that use the REA (resources, events, agents) pattern as a common backbone. If you are a developer working on business frameworks, you can use the patterns presented to derive the right abstractions (e.g., business objects) and to design and ensure that the meta-rules (e.g., process patterns) are followed by the developers of the actual applications. And if you are an application developer, you can use these patterns to design your business application, to ensure that it does not violate the domain rules, and to adapt the application to changing requirements without the need to change the overall architecture. As with patterns in general, this approach allows for both more flexible and more solid software architectures and hence better software quality.
Model-Driven Architecture - Foundations and Applications ; 2nd European Conference, ECMDA-FA 2006, Bilbao, Spain, July 10-13, 2006, Proceedings
The goal of the European Conference on Model-Driven Architecture — Foundations and Applications (ECMDA-FA) is to bring together industry and academia to tackle the problems in model-driven development. This volume includes 18 foundation papers and 12 application papers, which is a fine balance between both worlds. ECMDA-FA 2006 also hosted six workshops on both theoretical and practical aspects of MDA. Furthermore, the keynote speakers, David Frankel and Bran Selic, from some of the world’s largest IT companies proved that industry is very much involved in MDA. This second ECMDA-FA conference is the result of the work of the authors who submitted a total of 78 papers, the Program Committee members who took the effort to review the papers, the people organizing the workshops, and of course the Steering Committee. All in all, several hundreds of people have worked hard to make this conference a success.
