Requirements are sensitive to the context in which the system-to-be must operate. Where
such context is well understood and is static or evolves slowly, existing RE techniques can …

The existence of large image datasets such as the set of photos on the World Wide Web
make it possible to build powerful generic models for low-level image attributes like color …

Computational reflection is a well-established technique that gives a program the ability to
dynamically observe and possibly modify its behaviour. To date, however, reflection is …

The visual medium evolved from early paintings to the realistic paintings of the classical era
to photographs. The medium of moving imagery started with motion pictures. Television and …

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for developing a portable
software application. The method includes the steps of defining a project, adding a screen to …

Context-awareness is the ability of software systems to sense and adapt to their physical
environment. Many contemporary mobile applications adapt to changing locations …

Quantum circuits currently constitute a dominant model for quantum computation [14]. Our
work addresses the problem of constructing quantum circuits to implement an arbitrary given …

The aim of this book is not to describe new wireless access technologies that will replace the
third generation (3G) technologies, but to describe a complete ecosystem of technologies …

Open adaptive systems are the basis for a promising new generation of embedded systems
with huge economic potential. In many application domains, however, the systems are safety …

The evolution of communication protocols, sensory hardware, mobile and pervasive
devices, alongside social and cyber‐physical networks, has made the Internet of things (IoT) …
