More than 90% of the cost of software is due to maintenance and evolution. Understanding the evolution of large software systems is a complex problem, which requires the use of va...
— In this paper, we present an analytical analysis of the convergence of raptor codes under joint decoding over the binary input additive white noise channel (BIAWGNC), and deriv...
The success of evolutionary algorithms (EAs) depends crucially on finding suitable parameter settings. Doing this by hand is a very time consuming job without the guarantee to ...
Abstract. We propose a pattern-based software development method comprising analysis (using problem frames) and design (using architectural and design patterns), of which especiall...
One of the main goals of design patterns is to design for change. Many design patterns leave some room for future changes and evolutions. The application of design patterns leads ...
