In a multi-programmed computing environment, threads of execution exhibit different runtime characteristics and hardware resource requirements. Not only do the behaviors of distin...
The state of the practice in object-oriented software development has moved beyond reuse of code to reuse of conceptual structures such as design patterns. This paper draws attenti...
Researchers in the social and behavioral sciences routinely rely on quasi-experimental designs to discover knowledge from large databases. Quasi-experimental designs (QEDs) exploi...
