Many combinatorial (optimisation) problems have natural models based on, or including, set variables and set constraints. This was already known to the constraint programming commu...
It is common to imbed business rules within the code of distributed object systems. When business practices and/or policies change, as they often do, it is difficult if not imposs...

Modern architectures implement relaxed memory models which may reorder memory operations or execute them non-atomically. Special instructions called memory fences are provided, al...
Concurrent engineering has been widely used in managing design projects to speed up the design process by concurrently performing multiple tasks. Since the progress of a design tas...
In addition to real-time requirements, the program code size is a critical design factor for real-time embedded systems. To take advantage of the code size vs. execution time trad...
