At early stages in the design of real-time embedded applications, the timing attributes of the computational activities are often incompletely specified or subject to changes. Lat...
Parametric and feature-based CAD models can be considered to represent families of similar objects. In current modelling systems, however, the semantics of such families are uncle...
Abstract. Microarrays are one of the latest breakthroughs in experimental molecular biology. Thousands of different research groups generate tens of thousands of microarray gene e...
Given the importance of encapsulation to object-oriented programming, it is surprising to note that mainstream object-oriented languages offer only limited and fixed ways of enca...
Many black box optimization algorithms have sufcient exibility to allow them to adapt to the varying circumstances they encounter. These capabilities are of two primary sorts: 1) ...
