Variability Management Mechanism for Domain Engineering and Case Study in SunRoof Control Domain
This study aims to suggest variability mechanisms for software product line development and to explain the results of case study. Software product line engineering is an extension of software engineering and many organizations constantly engage in reengineering and refactoring to adopt the software product line engineering. Software product line engineering has two engineering processes: domain engineering process and application engineering process. Feature Identification and feature model are key success factor to construct variability model. Feature model describes the variable parts to be extended or replaced and common part to be reuse by themselves. Feature model gives the directions to the following architecture design and component implementation. However, feature model is not the design strategy and variability mechanism for product line implementation. Therefore, these are the obstacles for organizations that are unfamiliar with feature model and variability mechanism to adopt software product line engineering. Several variability mechanisms for software intensive software are suggested but these are not applicable for embedded software since it has different development process and structure. In this paper, variability elements in architecture design and component design of embedded software are identified as state variable, state transition information, and algorithm. Variability management mechanisms are defined for these elements. To provide the detail strategy and to evaluate the suggested variability management methods, process and results of real case study are described
Monomial Relization of Crystal Bases for Special Linear Lie Algebras
We give a new realization of crystal bases for finite dimensional irreducible
modules over special linear Lie algebras using the monomials introduced by H.
Nakajima. We also discuss the connection between this monomial realization and
the tableau realization given by Kashiwara and Nakashima.Comment: 15 page
Young Wall Realization of Crystal Bases for Classical Lie Algebras
In this paper, we give a new realization of crystal bases for finite
dimensional irreducible modules over classical Lie algebras. The basis vectors
are parameterized by certain Young walls lying between highest weight and
lowest weight vectors.Comment: 27page
Nakajima monomials, Young walls and Kashiwara embedding for Uq(An(1))
AbstractIn this paper, we realize the crystal basis B(λ) of the irreducible highest weight module V(λ) of level 1 for Uq(An(1)) using Nakajima monomials satisfying some conditions. Also, from this monomial realization, we obtain the image of Kashiwara embedding Ψιλ:B(λ)↪Z∞⊗Rλ, where ι is some infinite sequence from the index set of simple roots. Finally, we give a Uq(An(1))-crystal isomorphism between Young wall realization and monomial realization, and so we can understand the image of Kashiwara embedding Ψιλ:B(λ)↪Z∞⊗Rλ using the combinatorics of Young walls
Smart Roadside System for Driver Assistance and Safety Warnings: Framework and Applications
The use of newly emerging sensor technologies in traditional roadway systems can provide real-time traffic services to drivers through Telematics and Intelligent Transport Systems (ITSs). This paper introduces a smart roadside system that utilizes various sensors for driver assistance and traffic safety warnings. This paper shows two road application models for a smart roadside system and sensors: a red-light violation warning system for signalized intersections, and a speed advisory system for highways. Evaluation results for the two services are then shown using a micro-simulation method. In the given real-time applications for drivers, the framework and certain algorithms produce a very efficient solution with respect to the roadway type features and sensor type use
To err is human: medication patient safety in aged care, a case study
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore an identified medication error using a root cause analysis and a clinical case study. Design/methodology/approach: In this paper the authors explore a medication error through the completion of a root cause analysis and case study in an aged care facility. Findings: Research indicates that medication errors are highly prevalent in aged care and 40 per cent of nursing home patients are regularly receiving at least one potentially inappropriate medicine (Hamilton, 2009; Raban et al., 2014; Shehab et al., 2016). Insufficient patient information, delays in continuing medications, poor communication, the absence of an up-to-date medication chart and missed or significantly delayed doses are all linked to medication errors (Dwyer et al., 2014). Strategies to improve medication management across hospitalisation to medication administration include utilisation of a computerised medication prescription and management system, pharmacist review, direct communication of discharge medication documentation to community pharmacists and staff education and support (Dolanski et al., 2013). Originality/value: Discussion of the factors impacting on medication errors within aged care facilities may explain why they are prevalent and serve as a basis for strategies to improve medication management and facilitate further research on this topic
