On-road vehicles are a key source of air pollution in metropolitan areas. Transportation planners and policy makers are confronted with the impacts of transportation on air quality. They require a tool to quantify the environmental effects of planned transportation control and urban development measure and thus aid in selecting the most suitable projects. This book describes the development of CALMOB6 - a tool to estimate emissions and fuel consumption effects of proposed developments or regulations before they are implemented. The model incorporates twenty-one vehicle sub-classes. On a second-by-second basis, CALMOB6 calculates emission rates of carbon monoxide, nitric oxides, hydrocarbons, particulates and carbon dioxide, as well as the fuel consumption rates for vehicles operating in an urban region. It can forecast these quantities till year 2050. CALMOB6 considers effects of alternative fuels, vehicle fleet, cold-starts, super-emitters and environmental conditions. The tool can produce an inventory on scales varying from an entire urban region down to a single identified street at a single operating time-scale. This book is addressed to professionals in transportation and environment.

Attribute Enabled Programming (AEP) is a wide-spreading technique that uses attributes to decorate existing code entities. AEP is supported in several general purpose languages, such as, .NET and Java, and by modeling languages, such as, MOF / UML. Attribute annotations may, however, fail to scale. Attribute dependencies complicate the interpretation and add-hoc solutions are difficult to maintain. A well defined development methodology that covers all the steps of Attribute Enabled Software Development (AESD) needs to be applied. This book focuses on the domain of mobile device software applications, based on Java Micro Edition (Java ME), and discusses the complete steps of applying AESD to model domain specific abstractions. Relation to product-lines is explored, and a concept of attribute-supported mobile containers to organize domain services, adapted from the enterprise containers, such as, Java EE and COM+, is presented. A structured methodology to transform attribute-based abstractions that warranties termination is introduced and illustrated. The book targets software professionals, and researchers in software engineering, programming languages, and graph transformations.

The quest for more productive ways of developing high quality software has been ongoing and software product lines promises to improve product quality and the development speed at a fraction of the cost. Common examples of product lines in other areas include mobile phones, cars, consumer electronic devices such as TVs and the like. The products in a product line all share some common features and there are some features that are specific to some products only. Crucial to this approach is the large-scale reuse of the product line software architecture. This book deals with the problem of assessing, analyzing or evaluating product line architectures. It characterizes such architectures from the point of view of architecture analysis and describes a holistic method for completing the assessment. Case studies and discussions help readers use the approach described in their own projects. This book is addressed to professional software architects and developers building or planning to build software product lines. It is also directed towards researchers in Software Architectures and Software Product Lines.

The increasing amount of information on the internet makes it hard to filter out relevant parts. Every second hundreds of news-articles and blog-entries are written. A subscriber to this constant stream of information quickly looses overview - a typical needle-in-a-haystack problem. Especially in the field of news-reading, software can help to increase efficiency by personalized filtering mechanisms. This filtering can be predictive based on previous user-choices, but also heeds the power of social networks: Users help each other by marking relevant information. The author Ingo Schommer investigates the conceptual and practical development of a web-based news-reader with advanced filtering features. Research is conducted in the field of information visualization and filtering as well as in competitive products and their shortcomings. The solution will mainly target pro-users who are already accustomed with news-reading, the modern "information junkies."

In this age of information, companies are spending millions of dollars on data services, databases and data mining to use information as a competitive weapon. However, most employees are not trained analysts and many times data sources are not compatible. As a result, companies are not getting maximum value from all these data investments. Spotfire DecisionSite is recognized for its easy-to-use visual interface, ability to integrate with multiple data sources, and 'guided analytics technology, which allows non-expert users to follow established analysis processes. DecisionSite Guided analytics enables developers to apply their programming and domain knowledge to create powerful visual analysis applications for end-users. By spreading best practices to a broad range of users, DecisionSite developers are helping their companies use current data investments to gain a significant information advantage over the competition. Building Solutions instructs new and existing DecisionSite developers on crafting Guided Analytic Applications that can be used by end-users to speed workflow, accelerate data sharing, and improve decision-making. Through application examples, code samples, and an o

The project is based on the benefits of Design by Contract on testing. If contracts - preconditions, postconditions, class invariants - are systematically associated with classes, they provide an invaluable source of information for producing systematic tests, directly based on the software's expressly intended semantics. The goal of this project is to develop a tool called "Test Wizard," which generates test cases automatically from contract-equipped classes. The Test Wizard will serve as a workbench to try out different testing strategies.

Our environment is more and more shaped by the influence of digital media which itself evolves at tremendous pace. A small example: 15 years ago, offthe- shelf computers were only able to cope with flat 2D graphics. Improvements in system design made it possible to process 3D scenes, leading to a powerful contribution to our everyday life. However, such scenes need to be created by experienced artists employing difficult and expensive tools. The increasing demand for realism makes things not easier. At the same time, the rapid improvement of commodity hardware enables the development of low cost systems for 3D photography. How can systems for volumetric scene reconstruction be efficiently designed? How may high quality be combined with real-time processing? And how is it possible to create a lightweight architecture using a single computer? After presenting an introductory overview and sketching a novel approach to scene reconstruction, the author Christian Nitschke gives a survey of related work in high-performance reconstruction by shape from silhouette and shape from photo-consistency. To convey a profound understanding to the reader he explains the fundamentals of scene and camera geometry, image formation, light and color as well as 3D reconstruction from multiple views. The novel approach is then introduced in two steps by mapping a basic algorithm to an advanced algorithm using graphics hardware acceleration. Performance and quality issues are analyzed and discussed in detail. The book aims at software and system engineers, scientists and researchers, technical directors as well as the interested public.

Software developer turnover can have disastrous effects on an organization due to the loss of business process knowledge, as well as acquired technical skills. Annual rates of turnover in information technology (IT) departments have been estimated at 20% or more with the cost of replacing technology workers ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 times annual salaries. This study purposely focused only on software developers as opposed to IT employees in general due to the critical nature of their work. The factors leading to turnover intention in this field are poorly understood; therefore, this study was designed to further understand the relationships between job characteristics, job satisfaction, and turnover intention among software developers. 326 web surveys were completed that contained questions relating to job characteristics, job satisfaction, turnover intention, and demographic information. The first four job characteristics are specific to software developers while the last five job characteristics and the job satisfaction scales are from the Hackman and Oldham Job Diagnostic Survey (JDS). Two research questions, sixteen hypotheses, and a theoretical path model were developed to understand which job characteristic variables contribute to the various dimensions of job satisfaction and which job satisfaction dimensions contribute to turnover intention. Additionally, the indirect effects of job characteristics through job satisfaction on turnover intention were also determined. The statistical testing consisted of descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. Bivariate correlations are presented, as well as path analysis, an extension of multiple regression analysis. The results of the study uncovered several factors that can influence turnover intention among software developers. Identified in the study as statistically significant job characteristics that can be influenced by management are training, autonomy, feedback, number of developers, task significance, and skill variety. With the results of this study, management can better understand the unique needs of software developers and design development jobs to ensure that these needs are met. The study concludes with implications for practitioners and recommendations for future research.
