We use a simple modification to a conventional SLR camera to capture images of several
hundred scenes in colour (RGB) and near-infrared (NIR). We show that the addition of near …

A component-based software development approach has become a trend in integrating
modern software systems. To ensure the overall reliability of an integrated software system …

This study presents two optimization models for selecting the best Commercial Off-The-Shelf
(COTS) software product among alternatives for each module in the development of modular …

IusWare (IUStitia SoftWARis) is a methodology designed to evaluate software products in a
formal and rigorous way. The methodology is based on the multicriteria decision aid …

This paper describes the Software-Engineering Process Simulation (SEPS) model
developed at JPL. SEPS is a dynamic simulation model of the software project-development …

This paper presents modeling frameworks for distributing development effort among
software components to facilitate cost-effective progress toward a system reliability goal …

Reliability is one of the most important quality attributes of commercial software since it
quantifies software failures during the development process. In order to increase the …

In this paper we describe a graphical, interactive technique for modeling univariate
simulation input processes with a distribution family based on B6zier curves. This family has …

Image sequences with dynamic backgrounds often cause false classification of pixels. In
particular, varying illuminations cause significant changes in the representation of a scene in …

During the design phase of a software, it is often required to evaluate the reliability of the
software system. At this stage of development, one crucial question arises 'how to achieve a …
