This paper presents a technique that is capable of supporting two major requirements for concurrency control in real-time databases: data temporal consistency, and data logical co...
Evolutionary Testing (ET) has been shown to be very successful for testing real world applications [10]. The original ET approach focusesonsearching for a high coverage of the test...
A simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA) method has been developed in this paper, using the operators of perturbation with the Lipschitz density function. This ...
This paper presents the fundamental theory and algorithms for identifying the most preferred alternative for a decision maker (DM) having a non-centrist (or extremist) preferentia...
We explore the meanings of the terms as "structure," "behavior," and, especially, "function" in engineering practice. Computers provide great help in...
