Nevertheless, we assist to a situation in which methodologies and infrastructures are not connected each other: the products of the analysis and design phases could not always be exploited in the implementation phase in a direct way, even if sometimes CASE-tools are present to help in translating methodologies' diagrams in infrastructures' code. This leads to a \"gap\" between methodologies and infrastructures that is likely to produce fragmented solutions and to make the application maintenance difficult. In this paper we face this issue, proposing three directions to solve the problem. We do not want to propose a \"new brand\" methodology and infrastructure tightly connected, rather, we aim at reusing as much as possible what already exists, not only in abstract terms, but also in concrete \"fragments\" of methodologies; an appropriate meta-language that describes how a methodologies works would be useful to more easily map them onto the infrastructures, or even to \"compose\" a new methodologies. A further approach is based on an \"intermediate\" layer between methodologies and infrastructures, which provides a mapping between the involved entities.","PeriodicalId":267715,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Multiconference on Computer Science and Information Technology","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134609974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The generated and executed code corresponds to structural model specified in class diagrams and behavioral model described by state machines of these classes. All single concepts of state machines included in the UML 2.0 specification (and further) are taken into account, including all kinds of events, states, pseudostates, submachines etc. The paper discusses the correctness issues of classes and state machine models that have to be decided in the framework in order to run a model-related and high quality C# application.

It is inspired by the negative selection mechanism, which discriminates between self and nonself elements using only partial information. Our approach incorporates two types of detectors: binary and real-valued. Relatively short binary receptors are used for primary detection, while the real valued detectors are used to resolve eventual doubts. Such a hybrid solution is much more economical in comparison with ldquopurerdquo approaches. The binary detectors are more faster than real-valued ones, what allows minimize computationally and timely complex operations on real values. Additionally, regardless of type of encoding, the process of samplepsilas censoring is conducted with relatively small part of its attributes.","PeriodicalId":267715,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Multiconference on Computer Science and Information Technology","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126860818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This technique effects only in short distance but only with low price sensors, we achieved precise localization in the resolution of 10 centimeters. The well known perspective-3-point problem have been exploited for the precise short distance localization. By experiment we present an interrelation between angle of camera view and a LED pattern interval. We measures the distance of the counterpart vehicle and vehicles shares distance information of obstacle and the relative vehicles with possible cooperation of vehicles. The angle of a vehicle can be identified by digital compass. Finally, with a share of location information we can achieve localization of mobile sensor nodes with high accuracy.","PeriodicalId":267715,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Multiconference on Computer Science and Information Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124354603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
