This paper presents a simulation performance improvement of the application of the Multicomponent Discrete Time System Specification (MultiDTSS) formalism to a fire spread. Multic...
There exist many application classes for which the users have significant flexibility in the quality of output they desire. At the same time, there are other constraints, such a...
A great deal of work on software maintenance focuses on source code analysis and manipulation. Code is viewed as a static entity that is – more or less – separated from the sy...
