Here I assess Damasio’s conceptual model of consciousness based mainly on the concepts of emotion, feeling, and consciousness by analyzing its conceptual implications and its theoretical and scientific problems. One of the ...

In Model-Driven Development, the main artefacts are conceptual schemas, and efforts are focused on their creation, testing and evolution at different levels of abstraction through transformations. If a conceptual schema ...

Conceptual models often capture the invariant aspects of the phenomena we perceive. These invariants may be considered static when they refer to structures we perceive in phenomena at a particular point in time or ...

DEVS models are widely used in the research community, in the industry and even in military or defense departments. Therefore, several software tools exist for modeling and simulating these models. However, each of these ...

We present CoSTest, a tool that supports the validation of Conceptual Schemas by using testing. The tool implements techniques for transforming instantiations from a Requirements Model into test case implementations by ...
