Techniques for the Integration of Existing Tools
(1988-03-01)The purpose of this paper is to explain and demonstrate the advantages of tool integration and the reuse of tools. Several techniques for the integration of existing tools are presented and discussed. These techniques ... -
Telling new stories about school
Contemporary societies frame education through cultural narratives about schooling’s purposes and practices. Societal stories about school are not just reflective of our current views and values, but shape our political ... -
Tool for Structural Testing of Rule-based System
(1993-05-01)Traditional software testing techinque are useful in testing some components of the expert systems, such as the interference engine. However, there is a need for the development of a testing method that tests the structure ... -
Topical application of ice-nucleating-active bacteria decreases insect cold tolerance
The majority of overwintering insects avoid lethal freezing by lowering the temperature at which ice spontaneously nucleates within their body fluids. We examined the effect of ice-nucleating-active bacteria on the ... -
Towards the Realization of a DSML for Machine Learning: A Baseball Analytics Use Case
Using machine learning (ML) for big data is challenging, requiring specialized knowledge of the domain, learning algorithms, and software engineering. To demonstrate the viability of model-driven engineering in the ML ... -
