“…They offer substantial gains in expressiveness and ease of use compared with general-purpose programming languages and development methodologies. As such, DSLs and MDE become an emerging popular area of research within the field of Software Engineering [33][34][35]. Microsoft Office is one of the representative documentation tools and it is in C# language in .NET Framework [36].…”

Digitalization has been bringing about various changes and innovations not only in our daily life but also in our business environment. In the manufacturing industry, robots have been used for automation for a long time, resulting in innovation in terms of the faster operation process and higher product quality. Robotics Process Automation (RPA) can be said to have brought this innovation in the productivity improvement of many industries into the business office. The purpose of this study is to improve business productivity by applying RPA named CoPA. It is based on Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) and Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) coupled with MS Office. CoPA has been replaced to perform the repetitive patterned tasks (especially document work) done by many people in an office. For the applications of business productivity, CoPA has been implemented to revise five government project proposals requiring quite strict writing standards. The improvement of business productivity obtained by CoPA has been compared to the performance of 10 employees who are familiar with MS Office. The paper explains the method of CoPA coupled with MS Office as well as the agile method of human collaboration. It is clearly shown that CoPA as a business RPA can improve business productivity in terms of time consumption and document quality.

In this paper, we propose a framework for studying the AGGIR (Autonomie Gérontologique et Groupe Iso Ressources—Autonomy Gerontology Iso-Resources Groups) grid model, with the aim of assessing the level of independence of elderly people in accordance with their capabilities of performing daily activities as well as interacting with their environments. In order to model the Activities of Daily Living (ADL), we extend a previously proposed Domain Specific Language (DSL), by defining new operators to deal with constraints related to time and location of activities and event recognition. The proposed framework aims at providing an analysis tool regarding the performance of elderly/disabled people within a home environment by means of data recovered from sensors using a smart-home simulator environment. We perform an evaluation of our framework in several scenarios, considering five of the AGGIR variables (i.e., feeding, dressing, toileting, elimination, and transfers) as well as health-care devices for tracking the occurrence of elderly activities. The results demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed framework for managing the tracked records correctly and, thus, generate the appropriate event information related to the ADL.

“…This approach is also based on client‐server architecture, achieving a balance between interactive visualization and efficient collaboration. Moreover, there are a series of domain‐specific language (DSL) technologies are summarized in the survey 49 to solve the interactive volume visualizations, such as DSL‐based volume rendering and DSL‐based parallel computation in volume computation.…”

Multiuser can collaboratively complete complex visualization tasks that cannot be completed by a single user. Although multiuser collaboration system has made great progress, there are many challenges in the collaborative visualization of 3D volumetric scientific data due to the difficulties in multiuser collaboration, and collaborative slice analysis. This article proposes a client‐server based collaborative visualization system, which consists of a 3D volume explorer and a 2D slice analyzer, to help domain experts to fully utilize their background domain knowledge to illustrate different parts of the data. For example, the brain surgeon expert, pulmonologist, and cardiologist can visualize and analyze the different subsets of the volumetric scientific data, that is, the corresponding subvolumes of the brain, heart, lungs, and blood vessels. It also allows taking full advantage of the hardware resources, because all the computation intensive tasks especially for the whole data rendering can be allocated to the powerful server while the light‐weight tasks can be allocated to the portable clients. Besides, we design a seed point tracing algorithm based on flood fill algorithm to illustrate the slice more efficiently. We evaluate the system by collecting the feedback from domain experts and the people who are unfamiliar with data computation or visualization. The evaluation shows that the 3D volume explorer and the 2D slice analyzer are capable of supporting peer‐expert discussion and medical case teaching, respectively.
