Do you have a fresh master or PhD and are you considering Phd or Postdoc in Switzerland? The Swiss Government Excellence Scholarship offers young researchers from around the world who have completed a master’s degree or PhD the opportunity to start or continue their research careers in Switzerland. The scholarship supports research endeavors for a…
In the realm of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) design principles, the concepts of Service Coupling, Service Cohesion, and Service Granularity play pivotal roles in shaping a robust and effective architectural framework. Service Coupling refers to the degree of interdependence between any two business processes. In the context of SOA, weak coupling is highly preferred as…
Software patterns, often referred to as design patterns, are a reusable and generalizable solution to a common problem that software developers face when designing and building software applications. Design patterns are essentially templates or blueprints for solving recurring design problems in a systematic and efficient way. Design patterns serve several important purposes in software development:…
This article considers some free resources to warm up your programming environment. These are particularly useful if you plan to do a programming oriented thesis where you analyze data by writing some code. A functional working environment is useful independently from what you will be doing. It may sound like an annoying task where you…
Can User of IoT technology be more then “just user”? How do they relate to technology? Abstract: With technology in reach of everyone and the technology sector in ascendance, it is central to investigate the relationship people have with their devices. We use the concept of agency to capture aspects of user’s sense of mastery…
Improving the performance of XML based technologies by caching and reusing information. Is it possible? Abstract: The growing synergy between Web Services and Grid or cloud based technologies is enabling profound, dynamic interactions between applications dispersed in geographic, institutional, and conceptual space. Such deep interoperability requires the simplicity, robustness, and extensibility for which XML has…
Is it possible to achieve a Client Side Estimation of a Remote Service Execution? Abstract: Many use cases, concerning the monitoring and controlling of real physical instruments, demand deep interaction between users and services that virtualize the access to such instruments/devices. In addition, in order to realize high interoperable solutions, SOA-based Web/Grid Service technologies must…
Abstract: Software engineering is a complex sociotechnical activity, due to the need for discussing and sharing knowledge among team members. This has raised the need for effective ways of sharing ideas, knowledge, and artifacts among groups and their members. The social aspect of software engineering process also demands computer support to facilitate the development by…
In this post, I am going to present an example of Service Encapsulation using the case study of ACME Social and the University of Nowhere that is described in the linked article. Service Encapsulation is often used to hide the internal representation, or state, of an object from the outside. In this way, we can…
This is a collection of videos by Uncle Bob (Robert Cecil Martin) on how to write clean code. He is an American software engineer, instructor, and best-selling author. He developed several software design principles and co-founded the Agile Manifesto. There is more to object oriented programming. If you want to be able to write code…
