in the title of the IDIMT 03 standing for Interdisciplinary and the meaning of technology as “systematic treatment of an art or craft ” inviting contributions on status, interdependence and trends in other scientific disciplines. 1.

Abstract—This paper summarizes the current state of the art and recent trends in software engineering economics. It provides an overview of economic analysis techniques and their applicability to software engineering and management. It surveys the field of software cost estimation, including

ABSTRACT The knowledge of the in-situ stress field in rock masses is in general of crucial importance in various areas of geo-engineering, such as mining or civil underground excavations, hydrocarbon extraction, CO2 storage, hydraulic fracture operations, etc. In the context of the Finite Element

Abstract Source parameters for historical earthquakes worldwide are compiled to develop a series of empirical relationships among moment magnitude (M), surface rupture length, subsurface rupture length, downdip rupture width, rupture area, and maximum and average displacement per event

development of techniques that yield performance across a range of current and future parallel machines. This paper offers a new parallel machine model, called LogP, that reflects the critical technology trends underlying parallel computers. It is intended to serve as a basis for developing fast, portable

of digital data. These theories and tools are the subject of the emerging field of knowledge discovery in databases (KDD). At an abstract level, the KDD field is concerned with the development of methods and techniques for making sense of data. The basic problem addressed by the KDD process is one of mapping

Abstract—This paper provides a definition of the term “software engineering ” and a survey of the current state of the art and likely future trends in the field. The survey covers the technology available in the various phases of the software life cycle—requirements engineering, design, coding

From 2005-2006, scholarly publishing, including e-publishing, becomes one of several criteria used by The

Experimental economists are leaving the reservation. They are recruiting subjects in the field rather than in the classroom, using field goods rather than induced valuations, and using field context rather than abstract terminology in instructions. We argue that there is something methodologically

As a consequence of deregulation, competition, and problems in securing capital outlays for expansion of the infrastructure, modern power systems are operating at ever-smaller capacity and stability margins. Traditional entities involved in securing adequate protection and control for the system may soon become inadequate, and the emergence of the new participants (non-utility generation, transmission, and distribution companies) requires coordinated approach and careful coordination of the new operating conditions. The paper reviews the key issues and design considerations for the present and new generation of SPS and emergency control schemes, and evaluates the strategies for their implementation.
