: Entities in engineering design databases need to evolve in both structure and behavior. Such a need is not well addressed by object-oriented data models based on the class concep...
A novel two-stage level set evolution method for detecting man-made objects in aerial images is described. The method is based on a modified Mumford-Shah model and it uses a two-s...
The pressures which act on a software system over its life from inception to retirement are many and varied. It is an important goal in considering software evolvability to unders...
we propose a repository to characterize OO evolution problematic. The two main objectives are to characterize object evolution according to its own features, and to uniformly analy...
This paper presents a semantic foundation of temporal conceptual models used to design temporal information systems. We consider a modeling language able to express both timestampi...
