This paper investigates how maintainability can be established in system integration (SI) projects where maintainers have no direct access to the source code of the third-party so...
Wireless sensor networks are often required to provide event miss-ratio assurance for a given event type. To meet such assurances along with minimum energy consumption, this paper ...
Distance metric is widely used in similarity estimation. In this paper we find that the most popular Euclidean and Manhattan distance may not be suitable for all data distribution...
Software Engineers frequently need to locate and understand the code that implements a specific user feature of a large system. This paper reports on a study by Motorola Inc. and ...
