Yashar is a rule based meta-tool for rapidly producing tools to increase programming speed through automating restructuring of existing source code modules so they can be reused, generating of syntax-directed tools, language-to-language translation, automated document generation , and various debugging tools. The main significance of Yashar is that it can...
The use of mobile devices is increasing and these devices run on batteries. Therefore, it becomes important to save power in these devices. To do so, we need to have a mechanism that estimates the power consumption in transmission as well as power used by the CPU while processing a...
Visual programming languages employ visual representation to make programming easier and make programs more reliable and more accessible. Visual program testing becomes increasingly important as more and more visual programming languages and visual programming environments come into real use. In this work, we focus on one important class of visual...
The term object-oriented is defined. This definition is then related to message-passing, inheritance, polymorphism, data abstraction, generics, and overloading.
Pattern matching is the process of comparing two objects to see if they are similar to each other. Objects can be physical objects, situations, facts or events. The criteria of matching can be exact or partial. Traditional pattern matching systems rely on exact matches, in which a small set of...
Web-Site Generator 3 (WebSiteGen3) is a rapid application development (RAD) tool that generates ASP.NET forms to insert, query, update and delete data stored in the user tables in a SQL Server 2000 database. WebSiteGen3 uses a graphical user interface to show the user tables in a hierarchical tree based on...
In this project we implemented WebSiteGen2, which is a software tool that automatically generates HTML pages and server-side scripts for a Web-based database application. A user of WebSiteGen2 can select the tables and columns for which HTML pages and server-side scripts are generated. The menus for this selection process are...
Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) is a standard for estimating soil loss caused by rainfall and overland flow. The current software tool that implements this standard is RUSLE 1.06b, which is a stand-alone DOS application. In this project, we converted the DOS application to a Web application, which we...
We have developed a framework for Web-based GIS/database applications which allow users to insert, update, delete, and query data with a map interface displayed by Web browsers. The framework was designed so that a Web-based GIS application that uses ArcIMS as a map server can be easily created, customized, and...
WEPP (Water Erosion Prediction Project) is a stand-alone Windows application for predicting water erosion from overland flow on a hillslope. This application was developed by the National Soil Erosion Research Laboratory (NSERL). To make the WEPP application more accessible and easy to use, we created a web version of WEPP,...
