A framework for efficient model transformations

The reported productivity gains while using models and model transformations to develop entire systems, after almost a decade of experience applying model-driven approaches for system development, are already undeniable benefits of this approach. However, the slowness of higher-level, rule based model transformation languages hinders the applicability of this approach to industrial scales. Lower-level, and efficient, languages can be used but productivity and easy maintenance seize to exist. The abstraction penalty problem is not new, it also exists for high-level, object oriented languages but everyone is using them now. Why is not everyone using rule based model transformation languages then? In this thesis, we propose a framework, comprised of a language and its respective environment, designed to tackle the most performance critical operation of high-level model transformation languages: the pattern matching. This framework shows that it is possible to mitigate the performance penalty while still using high-level model transformation languages.

Esquemes de xifrat homomòrfics per a votació electrònica

This bachelor's degree thesis deals with homomorphic public-key cryptography, or in other words cryptosystems with special addition properties. Such cryptosystems are widely used in real life situations, for instance to make electronic voting secure. In Chapter 1 a few basic algebra results and other key concepts are introduced. Chapters 2 and 3 contain the algorithms and properties of the two cryptosystems which are considered to be the best for e-voting: Paillier and Joye-Libert. The thesis is concluded in Chapter 4, by comparing running times of the two above-mentioned cryptosystems, in simulations of real-life e-voting systems, with up to tens of thousands of voters, and different levels of security. Through these simulations, we discern the situations where each of the two cryptosystems is preferable.

Comparison of application frameworks designed to support application extensibility

Reusability has become more popular factor in modern software engineering. This is mainly because object-orientation has brought methods that allow reusing more easily. Today more and more application developer thinks how they can reuse already existing applications in their work. If the developer wants to use existing components outside the current project, he can use design patterns, class libraries or frameworks. These provide solution for specific or general problems that has been already encountered. Application frameworks are collection of classes that provides base for the developer. Application frameworks are mostly implementation phase tools, but can also be used in application design. The main purpose of the frameworks is separate domain specific functionalities from the application specific. Usually the frameworks are divided into two categories: black and white box. Difference between those categories is the way the reuse is done. The application frameworks provide properties that can be examined and compared between different frameworks. These properties are: extensibility, reusability, modularity and scalability. These examine how framework will handle different platforms, changes in framework, increasing demand for resources, etc. Generally application frameworks do have these properties in good level. When comparing general purpose framework and more specific purpose framework, the main difference can be located in reusability of frameworks. It is mainly because the framework designed to specific domain can have constraints from external systems and resources. With general purpose framework these are set by the application developed based on the framework.

Tehdasmittausten varastointi moniulotteisella tietomallilla

Tietovarastoissa moniulotteinen tietomalli on tehokkain tapa esittää tietoa päätöksentekijöille. Sen toimivuus on hyväksi havaittu monissa eri liiketoimintaympäristöissä. Tehdasympäristöissä on tuhansia mittalaitteita, joista jokainen mittaa uniikkia valmistusprosessiin liittyvää piirrettä. Tässä työssä kehitettiin tietovarasto tehdasmittausten varastointiin käyttäen moniulotteista tietomallia. Havaittiin, että moniulotteisella mallilla tehdasmittaukset voidaan tallentaa joustavalla tavalla ja esittää käyttäjälle mielekkäässä muodossa. Moniulotteinen malli antaa myös erinomaiset keinot tiedon ryhmittelyyn ja vertailuun. Sillä ei kuitenkaan saada vastaavanlaisia hyötyjä kuin klassisissa kaupanalan tietovarastointi esimerkeissä, koska eri mittaukset ovat keskenään hyvin erilaisia. Vaikka mittaukset eivät olekaan aina vertailtavissa tai summattavissa keskenään, saadaan ne moniulotteisella mallilla tallennettua ja luokiteltua loogisesti siten, että käyttäjän on helppo löytää tarvitsemansa tieto. Lisäksi yleisesti tunnettu ja paljon käytetty tietovaraston suunnittelumalli takaa sen, että markkinoilta on saatavissa työkaluja tietovaraston käyttöön. Tietokannan toteutus tehtiin vapaasti levitettävän MySQLtiedonhallintajärjestelmän avulla. Sitä ei ole suunniteltu pääasiassa tietovarastokäyttöön, mutta halpa lisenssi ja hyvä skaalautuvuus tekevät siitä mielenkiintoisen vaihtoehdon. Sitä onkin käytetty luultua enemmän tietovarastoinnissa ja myös monien nimekkäiden organisaatioiden toimesta. Myös tässä työssä todettiin, että MySQL tarjoaa riittävät välineet tietovaraston kehittämiseen.

Program hosting in communications environment with Reactor and thread pool approach

In this thesis concurrent communication event handling is implemented using thread pool approach. Concurrent events are handled with a Reactor design pattern and multithreading is implemented using a Leader/Followers design pattern. Main focus is to evaluate behaviour of implemented model by different numbers of concurrent connections and amount of used threads. Furthermore, model feasibility in a PeerHood middleware is evaluated. Implemented model is evaluated with created test environment which enables concurrent message sending from multiple connections to the system under test. Messages round trip times are measured in the tester application. In the evaluation processing delay into system is simulated and influence of delay to the average round trip time is analysed.

Pioneering activities in both the university and industry are emphasized. Active research areas in chemometrics are cited including experimental design, pattern recognition and classification, curve resolution for complex systems and multivariate calibration. New trends in chemometrics, especially higher order methods for treating data, are emphasized.

Software for Transport Accessibility Analysis: The Case of Moscow

In this thesis the process of building a software for transport accessibility analysis is described. The goal was to create a software which is easy to distribute and simple to use for the user without particular background in the field of the geographical data analysis. It was shown that existing tools do not suit for this particular task due to complex interface or significant rendering time. The goal was accomplished by applying modern approaches in the process of building web applications such as maps based on vector tiles, FLUX architecture design pattern and module bundling. It was discovered that vector tiles have considerable advantages over image-based tiles such as faster rendering and real-time styling.
