Towards assessing simulated service qualities by business stakeholders outside the system boundary

The paper describes an approach for collecting opinions on quality of service-oriented systems from the specific category of real business stakeholders (which do not interact with such systems directly on theirboundary). This approach enhances the ISAREAD-S method for collecting assessments of simulated service qualities on the system boundary in context defined by the service usage process. We introduce special Service Dependency Model taking into account dependencies between usage process activities accessible by real stakeholders and boundary activities representing services under development.В работе описана технология сбора мнений реальных заинтересованных лиц (которые не взаимодействуют с системой на ее границе) о качестве сервис-ориентированных программных систем. Данная технология является расширением метода ISAREAD-S, реализующего сбор таких мнений на основе оценивания характеристик качества программных сервисов, представленных имитационными моделями, на границе системы в контексте процессов их использования. Это расширение сводится к реализации специальной модели зависимости сервисов, учитывающей зависимости между показателями качества деятельностей процессов, доступных для реальных заинтересованных лиц и показателями качества деятельностей, определенных на границе системы, которые представляют разрабатываемые сервисы

Scalable Full Flow with Learned Binary Descriptors

We propose a method for large displacement optical flow in which local matching costs are learned by a convolutional neural network (CNN) and a smoothness prior is imposed by a conditional random field (CRF). We tackle the computation- and memory-intensive operations on the 4D cost volume by a min-projection which reduces memory complexity from quadratic to linear and binary descriptors for efficient matching. This enables evaluation of the cost on the fly and allows to perform learning and CRF inference on high resolution images without ever storing the 4D cost volume. To address the problem of learning binary descriptors we propose a new hybrid learning scheme. In contrast to current state of the art approaches for learning binary CNNs we can compute the exact non-zero gradient within our model. We compare several methods for training binary descriptors and show results on public available benchmarks.Comment: GCPR 201

Towards quality-aware predesign model

An approach to capturing the semantics of qualityrequirements into an intermediate predesign model is outlined. This approach combines Klagenfurt Conceptual Predesign and Aspectual Predesign techniques. Proposed extensions in corporate the hierarchy of quality characteristics into the predesign model and represent crosscutting relationships between the quality concerns and the main functionality of the system. Some directions of integration of the proposed model into quality-driven software process are discussed.У статті розглядаються основи підходу до збирання семантики вимог якості у проміжну предпроектну модель. Цей підхід є поєднанням технологій Клагенфуртського концептуального предпроектування та аспектного предпроектування. Запропоновані додатки дозволяють включити до моделі іерархію характеристик якості та подати наскрізні відношини між інтересами якості та основною функціональністю системи. Обговорені деякі напрямки інтеграції запропонованої моделі у процесс розробки програмного забезпечення, що керується якістю

Instruments of investment attraction in order to fulfill the structural priorities of sustainable regional development (study based on the Rostov Region)

The aim of the study is devoted to defining most effective tools of investment funds attraction. These funds can be used in implementation of strategic priorities for socio-economic regional development requiring, in areas that are in need of economic restructuring. The authors have selected the Rostov region as the research target, the economy of which is in need of structural change in the direction of increasing innovational, high-tech and scientific production, in order to reduce import dependency and move closer towards the post-industrial model of economic development. The study considers currently available instruments of attraction of private sector closer to solving the stated problems of Rostov region, analyzing their regulatory, financial and organizational consulting security on both state and federal level. Main directions of economic restructuring of Rostov region are also defined. Authors also outline the main problems that private enterprises come across while doing business in the investigated area. On the basis of the research, investigating federal and regional instruments of private sector involvement authors form a number of proposals and recommendations focusing on regional improvement. As a result of the conducted study, the authors reached the conclusion, that there is a number of strategic measures that should be performed in the Rostov region. These don't only include the improvement of financial instruments, but also best available technologies, national technology initiative, and clustering.peer-reviewe

Fly ash particles spheroidization using low temperature plasma energy

The paper presents the investigations on producing spherical particles 65-110 [mu]m in size using the energy of low temperature plasma (LTP). These particles are based on flow ash produced by the thermal power plant in Seversk, Tomsk region, Russia. The obtained spherical particles have no defects and are characterized by a smooth exterior surface. The test bench is designed to produce these particles. With due regard for plasma temperature field distribution, it is shown that the transition of fly ash particles to a state of viscous flow occurs at 20 mm distance from the plasma jet. The X-ray phase analysis is carried out for the both original state of fly ash powders and the particles obtained. This analysis shows that fly ash contains 56.23 wt.% SiO[2]; 20.61 wt.% Al[2]O[3] and 17.55 wt.% Fe[2]O[3] phases that mostly contribute to the integral (experimental) intensity of the diffraction maximum. The LTP treatment results in a complex redistribution of the amorphous phase amount in the obtained spherical particles, including the reduction of O[2]Si, phase, increase of O[22]Al[20] and Fe[2]O[3] phases and change in Al, O density of O[22]Al[20] chemical unit cell
