Application of techniques to test software designs against requirements

Howell, Kelly Thomas 05 August 2010 (has links)
Engineers in diverse fields are able to model their design and experiment with that design to determine how it responds to the environment and how it satisfies the requirements. Design tools for software engineering have become standardized and matured to allow for formal definition of software design. This paper tests the current state of design documentation to determine the quality of design testing available at the early stage of software design. / text

Consistency checking in multiple UML state diagrams using super state analysis

Alanazi, Mohammad N. January 1900 (has links)
Doctor of Philosophy / Department of Computing and Information Sciences / David A. Gustafson / The Unified Modeling Language (UML) has been designed to be a full standard notation for Object-Oriented Modeling. UML 2.0 consists of thirteen types of diagrams: class, composite structure, component, deployment, object, package, activity, use case, state, sequence, communication, interaction overview, and timing. Each one is dedicated to a different design aspect. This variety of diagrams, which overlap with respect to the information depicted in each, can leave the overall system design specification in an inconsistent state. This dissertation presents Super State Analysis (SSA) for analyzing UML multiple state and sequence diagrams to detect the inconsistencies. SSA model uses a transition set that captures relationship information that is not specifiable in UML diagrams. The SSA model uses the transition set to link transitions of multiple state diagrams together. The analysis generates three different sets automatically. These generated sets are compared to the provided sets to detect the inconsistencies. Because Super State Analysis considers multiple UML state diagrams, it discovers inconsistencies that cannot be discovered when considering only a single UML state diagram. Super State Analysis identifies five types of inconsistencies: valid super states, invalid super states, valid single step transitions, invalid single step transitions, and invalid sequences.

Applying Grid-Partitioning To The Architecture of the Disaster Response Mitigation (DISarm) System

Vogt, Aline 08 August 2007 (has links)
The need for a robust system architecture to support software development is well known. In enterprise software development, this must be realized in a multi-tier environment for deployment to a software framework. Many popular integrated development environment (IDE) tools for component-based frameworks push multi-tier partitioning by assisting developers with convenient code generation tools and software deployment tools which package the code. However, if components are not packaged wisely, modifying and adding components becomes difficult and expensive. To help manage change, vertical partitioning can be applied to compartmentalize components according to function and role, resulting in a grid partitioning. This thesis is to advocate a design methodology that enforces vertical partitioning on top of the horizontal multitier partitioning, and to provide guidelines that document the grid partitioning realization in enterprise software development processes as applied in the J2EE framework.

Listen to the customer: Model-driven database design

Voigt, Hannes, Herrmann, Kai, Kiefer, Tim, Lehner, Wolfgang 01 September 2022 (has links)
In modern IT landscapes, databases are subject to a major role change. Especially in Service-Oriented Architectures, databases are more and more frequently dedicated to a single application. Therefore, it is even more important to reflect the application requirements in their design. Software developers and application experts formulate application requirements in software models. Hence, we obviously need to bridge the gap to the software world and directly derive a database design from the software models used in application development and maintenance. We introduce this concept as model-driven database design. In this paper, we present the architecture principles of a model-driven database design tool and details on the enumeration and evaluation of logical database designs.

Development of high-performance algorithms for a new generation of versatile molecular descriptors. The Pentacle software

Durán Alcaide, Ángel 04 March 2010 (has links)
The work of this thesis was focused on the development of high-performance algorithms for a new generation of molecular descriptors, with many advantages with respect to its predecessors, suitable for diverse applications in the field of drug design, as well as its implementation in commercial grade scientific software (Pentacle). As a first step, we developed a new algorithm (AMANDA) for discretizing molecular interaction fields which allows extracting from them the most interesting regions in an efficient way. This algorithm was incorporated into a new generation of alignmentindependent molecular descriptors, named GRIND-2. The computing speed and efficiency of the new algorithm allow the application of these descriptors in virtual screening. In addition, we developed a new alignment-independent encoding algorithm (CLACC) producing quantitative structure-activity relationship models which have better predictive ability and are easier to interpret than those obtained with other methods. / El trabajo que se presenta en esta tesis se ha centrado en el desarrollo de algoritmos de altas prestaciones para la obtención de una nueva generación de descriptores moleculares, con numerosas ventajas con respecto a sus predecesores, adecuados para diversas aplicaciones en el área del diseño de fármacos, y en su implementación en un programa científico de calidad comercial (Pentacle). Inicialmente se desarrolló un nuevo algoritmo de discretización de campos de interacción molecular (AMANDA) que permite extraer eficientemente las regiones de máximo interés. Este algoritmo fue incorporado en una nueva generación de descriptores moleculares independientes del alineamiento, denominados GRIND-2. La rapidez y eficiencia del nuevo algoritmo permitieron aplicar estos descriptores en cribados virtuales. Por último, se puso a punto un nuevo algoritmo de codificación independiente de alineamiento (CLACC) que permite obtener modelos cuantitativos de relación estructura-actividad con mejor capacidad predictiva y mucho más fáciles de interpretar que los obtenidos con otros métodos.
