Researches show that a reasonable number of projects failed to achieve their desired goals. There could be many different reasons like managing requirements, excessive documentation of code, difficulty to deliver the software with all required functions on time etc. Through proper management of requirements and concept of reusability, an effort could be made to overcome such percentage of failure. This paper argues about requirement similarity measurements and a possible application to support design and code reusability. An outline of SimReq framework is a step towards this direction.

This paper puts forward an information security risk assessment model, which based on danger theory, and provides a risk calculation method based on this model. It aims at the problem of the strong subjectivity and improving the accuracy and real time performance of current information security risk assessment system, by reference to dynamic response characteristic of danger theory in immunology. The model can comprehensively take various assessment factors and their correlation into consideration and conduct dynamic assessment under changing risk. Finally, the effectiveness of the model in information system security risk assessment is verified through the experiments.

This work presents some results obtained from image processing and motion analysis. The aim of image processing in this case is motion analysis of the human body. The issues raised in motion analysis are of interest for obtaining motion-specific parameters for movements of the human body. The resulting data (spatial coordinates, velocities and accelerations) are used for further processing in humanoid robotics and assistive and rehabilitative technologies for disabled people. The results are implemented on a robotic leg, which was developed in our laboratories.

Industrial automation systems are tested nowadays mainly via system tests at a very late stage of development. These tests are conducted manually, are time-consuming and cost-intensive. Earlier testing of automation software, e.g., component testing, is therefore desired in order to reduce the effort for system testing by detecting errors sooner. In this paper we present an improved concept for a test environment that enables developers of industrial control electronics to test the functionality of IEC 61499 software components. Components can be tested on any hardware with an IEC 61499 runtime environment, even on the target hardware. There is no need to change the automation software for testing. We propose using dynamically typed languages to implement tests because such languages have inherent properties that are useful for this task. We provide example code of a typical test case.

In this paper, we introduce a method of functionally classifying lung cancer cells from normal cells by using Tetrakis Carboxy Phenyl Porphine (TCPP) and well-known computational intelligent techniques. Tetrakis Carboxy Phenyl Porphine (TCPP) is a porphyrin that is able to label cancer cells due to the increased numbers of low density lipoproteins coating the surface of cancer cells and the porous nature of the cancer cell membrane. Lung cancer is the leading cancer killer in the world. Novel early detection technologies are needed to maximize the chance for a potentially curable stage of lung cancer. When identified early (radiographic stage 1), non small cell lung carcinoma is routinely resected with survival rates of 40 to 85%. Unfortunately, most lung cancers present at an advanced stage resulting in a dismal overall 5 year survival of 15%. We study the performance of kernel methods in the context of classification accuracy on Biomoda cultured lung sputum dataset. We use a Library for Support Vector Machines (LIBSVM) for model selection. Through a variety of comparative experiments, it is found that SVMs perform the best for detecting lung cancer. Results show that all 79 features we use give the best accuracy to identify lung cancer cells. Our results, thus, demonstrate the potential of using learning machines in detecting and classifying lung cancer cells from normal cells.

In this project, we transferred Problem-Based Learning (PBL), a well-known pedagogy for medical education, to an online environment by transforming it into a simulation where students could practice their skills collaboratively in a risk-free setting. This paper describes the design of a conceptual model and development of a software platform to allow learners to collaborate online in discussing PBL cases. Early testing has been extremely promising, largely due to the extensive work done earlier to build the ENJEUX-S online game platform. Thanks to this work, it has been possible to extend this platform from online games to online simulations. Our first test of the PBL model with undergraduate students was successful in facilitating their critical thinking and was well-received. We are now planning to use COMPSoft in medical schools and to conduct comprehensive evaluation studies of both the model and the platform.

The Quality Analyst Software is a tailor made software with the objective to considerably support Quality Analyst (QA) and the related users to conduct process and products verifications in an efficient way. It will eventually contribute in the continuous improvement of the processes in the Quality Management System (QMS). On average, a QA is assigned 35 projects and has to conduct 3 process verifications, 3 product verifications and other quality activities for each different project. In all, the QA has to manage around 210 verifications. Due to the loads of activities, QAs cannot perform properly and manage well their tasks. Thus, the QMS lifecycle for continuous improvement of the processes is incomplete and hence it does not serve its purpose. The Quality Analyst Software assist the QA in effective planning and automatically record scheduled meeting in MS Outlook calendar, successful execution of the plan through automatic reminders, ease in collecting data, no tasks/ input doubling-up, provide traceability through e-mails, quick availability of significant reports at the right time, in the right format and to the right person. Up to 1.3 hours is saved per process verification. Days lost in making follow-up to closure are rationalized. The Quality Analyst Software can greatly streamline processes, reduce cycle times, increase efficiency, minimize errors, and generally, improve the overall service levels. Based on data recorded and defined critical factors, the system will keep on adjusting and increasing the accuracy of its estimated values and thus be able to propose to the domain user reliable and realistic values.

With the fast development of modern manufacturing technology and the severe market challenge, there are higher demands for the collaborative work ability among enterprises through Internet. To meet the demand, a STEP and EXPRESS based remote transmission mechanism for product model information is designed. The proposed mechanism fulfilled the product model information exchange and integration among heterogeneous CAD systems by combining STEP AP and EXPRESS language. An application system based on the approach is implemented and put into practice in one die mould company. Results show that the system does effective affects for the remote collaborative design among the company, its customers and partners, helps to promote company’s competitive ability to the market.

We consider a 2D individual-based model of biofilm, in which bacteria can generate a polymeric substance (EPS), The coupling between polymer generation and bacteria creates a variety of biofilm structures. Then, we derive the equations of first and second moment evolution for the bacteria and EPS particle population sizes. This approximation of the dynamics is much lighter to compute than the whole IBM, hence more systematic exploration is easier particularly in case of large bacteria populations. We show that the second moment approximation predicts accurately the quantities of bacteria and polymer. Moreover, it gives relevant information about their spatial distribution.
