Many information strategists today agree that the Object-Oriented Technology (OOT) has particular requirements that should not be omitted from a traditional Information Technology (IT) strategy. An Object-Oriented Strategy ...
The term "software engineering" originally appeared as a (some would say, the) solution to the software crisis; the term that has been used to include all the problems, real or perceived, in the use of computers in society. ...
Software quality assurance for object-oriented information systems development is the issue dealt with here. A Quality Assurance Reference Model is proposed based on the Revised Spiral Life Cycle Model. The Quality Assurance ...
This paper presents an overview of the established concepts of David Harel' s higraphs, to increase their visibility. Higraphs are a union of extended graph and extended set theory which allows the understandable definition ...
A 1 D non-linear filter which is based on 'max-min' selectors is extended for use in 2 0 applications. The objective of this research is to remove impulsive noise without unduly changing original, valid data. Some examples ...
The real-time services offered by modern high speed networks are complex enough to
prompt a new look at how these services should be paid for. In this article, it is motivated that paying for the use of guaranteed services ...
The ability to learn from observations and to modify our understanding of the world based on experience is an essential aspect of intelligent behavior. Machine learning has thus become an important sub-area of artificial ...
Multiple CASE tools that support systems analysis and design are available today. These
tools are becoming indispensable in its support for the systems development process, although the support varies in term of the methods ...
This paper discusses the development and implementation of a set of measures which
support a Total Quality Management (TOM) process in a Systems Development environment. This process is taking place in the background of ...
Consider a circuit-switched network where several source switches are connected
to a destination switch via a tandem switch. Circuit-switched networks traditionally employ a Blocked Calls Cleared ( BCC) admission rule: a ...
The aim of this research is to provide a new model for the prioritization of the various
quantitative and qualitative factors affecting software development productivity. This is important for the evaluation of project ...
The associative network presents a practical and efficient means for the storage and retrieval of data. Although the recall abilities of single-layer associative memories have been well researched[3], little investigation ...
I/O Subsystem performance is one of the key components that impact the business operations of today's organisations. The objective of this paper is to provide a detailed performance evaluation of various storage architectures ...
The fundamental concept of the Pythagorean Brotherhood "All things are numbers"
could easily be implemented in processing textual data considered not only from a linguistic point of view but also as a quantity of numbers. ...
Compiler writing techniques have undergone a number of major revisions over the past
forty years. The introduction of object-oriented design and implementation techniques promises to improve the quality of compilers, while ...
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been proven to be successful general machine
learning techniques for, amongst others, pattern recognition and classification. Realworld
problems in agriculture (soybean, tea), ...
In this extended abstract, we present a brief description of the tutorial. The primary
reference material, a book and some software (1] , is available for ftp from the Eindhoven University of Technology.
In this tutorial, ...
Systems development methods or software methodologies have evolved
considerably over the past few years. This development has tended to fall into two main areas: Software Engineering and Human Computer Interaction (HCI). ...
People work together to solve a wide variety of problems using different forms of
cooperation for each class of problem. Modern technology is complex, and therefore it is unusual for an individual to attempt the development ...
