Over the last few years, a growing number of studies have explored how Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) might impact software maintainability. Most of the studies use coupling met...
—This paper presents a set of novel physical models for sound synthesis of membrane percussion instruments. First, a model for tension modulation in a struck circular membrane is...
—Coupling in software applications is often used as an indicator of external quality attributes such as fault-proneness. In fact, the correlation of coupling metrics and faults i...
This paper shows experimental results of packet error rates (PERs) in wireless-LAN mounted printed circuit boards and gives a discussion on a mechanism of electromagnetic noise cou...
An ensemble of stochastic non-leaky integrate-and-fire neurons with global, delayed and excitatory coupling and a small refractory period is analyzed. Simulations with adiabatic ...
We analyze various stochastic processes for generating permutations almost uniformly at random in distributed and parallel systems. All our protocols are simple, elegant and are b...
Common coupling (sharing global variables across modules) is widely accepted as a measure of software quality and maintainability; a low level of common coupling is necessary (but...

Path coupling is a useful technique for simplifying the analysis of a coupling of a Markov chain. Rather than defining and analysing the coupling on every pair in Ω×Ω, where...
Abstract-- Many statistical measures and algorithmic techniques have been proposed for studying residue coupling in protein families. Generally speaking, two residue positions are ...

Abstract. One key to several quality factors of software is the way components are connected. Software coupling can be used to estimate a number of quality factors, including maint...
