Reengineering real-time software systems
… was reengineering MML with a focus on improving modifiability while preserving functionality. First we developed a systematic plan using manual static analysis, then we incrementally reengineered the application with thorough system-level testing. Code review was used to locate and remove dead …

Declarative rule-based integration and mediation for XML data in web service-based software architectures
… the XSLT transformation programs lead to poor modifiability and are difficult to reuse. After a systematic evaluation on the existing XML query and transformation languages based on the defined selection criteria, we propose a services oriented architecture in which a declarative rule-based …

Investigating the Role of Eating Behaviour Traits in Behavioural Weight Management Interventions from a Precision Treatment Perspective
… targets, focusing on those investigating (a) the modifiability of EBTs and (b) their impact on weight loss outcomes. Projects in Chapter 2 & 3 address the modifiability of EBTs. After introducing the thesis background in Chapter 1, in Chapter 2, I conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of …

Managing unarticulated value : changeability in multi-attribute tradespace exploration
… rigidity, robustness, scalability, and modifiability are proposed to be different aspects of the same concept: changeability. A quantification of changeability is shown to be the Filtered Outdegree of a design within a networked tradespace formed through explicit consideration of …

Nurse Educators' Consensus Opinion On Using An Academic Electronic Health Record: A Delphi Study
… educator time involved and the product's lack of modifiability. SimChart facilitated student learning in regard to navigating an EHR, collecting and entering data in an EHR, and how an electronic health record is organized. Hindrances to learning, while few were expressed, included the time that …
