For software design and development (and many, many other tasks), productivity is always a high priority — and in pursuit of this is a seemingly never-ending supply of new methods, from Kaizen ...

Formal methods are a suite of mathematically grounded techniques that underpin the design, specification, and verification of programming languages and software systems. They involve the use of ...

In this paper, we give an applications-oriented survey of geometric programming. This important class of nonlinear programming problems has been intensively studied over the past decade and has played ...

Java got its start at the cusp of the internet revolution in the early 1990s. It was created by James Gosling and his colleagues at Sun Microsystems, who wanted to use a virtual machine and language ...

The generation of priority vectors from pairwise comparison information is an integral part of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Traditionally, either the right eigenvector method or the ...
