For a software system to be perceived as a success, or even just as properly functioning, many quality attributes, besides functionality, need to be at an acceptable level. However, current software development processes focus on the functional aspects of ...
Any innovative design of a chem. or biol. reactor has to consider the dynamics of the primary phys. and chem. steps involved in the overall process. For homogeneous highly viscous systems the mixing time is of crucial importance for the product quality. In ...
The case presented in the paper shows how effective measurements can be made to help in the assessment of an important structure in a relatively short time frame using a combination of electronic inclinometers, temperature sensors and hydrostatic leveling. ...
In this paper we present our motivations for proposing of a generic model for the description of quality attributes of software artifacts, in particular suited to software components. The conceptual ideas for our quality description model are derived from ...
We focus on packet video delivery, with an emphasis on the quality of service perceived by the end-user. A video signal passes through several subsystems, such as the source coder, the network and the decoder. Each of these can impair the information, eith ...
In order to define an interesting model problem for research work around the assembly of software components, this paper introduces the substation automation domain. Special emphasis is put on those aspects of the application area which make its employment ...
Forward Error Correction copes with packet losses, but at the expense of an increase of the end-to-end delay. By failing to take this into account, existing error control schemes for audio often lead to end-to-end delays larger than 150 ms, which has an im ...
A new system, Physilog, for ambulatory monitoring of movement is proposed and its applications in orthopaedic, physiology, angiology and quality of life are presented. Body accelerations were recorded by a portable measuring device. Significant parameters ...

Being able to manage the entire chain of resources involved in a communication session is a need for the purposes of future multimedia services, because many of the bottlenecks in communications will move from the network side to the end-systems or third-p ...
