Generics offer significant software engineering benefits since they provide code reuse without compromising type safety. Thus generics will be added to the Java language in the...
Turbo coding is a powerful class of error correcting codes, which can achieve performances close to the Shannon limit. The turbo principle can be applied to the problem of side-in...

Object oriented software development is designed to be modular, with code reuse being very common. When bugs are introduced, they can manifest themselves in one or more sections o...
—Code smells are poor implementation choices, thought to make object-oriented systems hard to maintain. In this study, we investigate if classes with code smells are more change-...
While data compression and Kolmogorov complexity are both about effective coding of words, the two settings differ in the following respect. A compression algorithm or compressor...
