— We present a simple, intuitive argument based on “invariant imbedding” in the spirit of dynamic programming to derive a stagewise second-order backpropagation (BP) algorith...
A newly designed game is introduced, which feels like Backgammon, but has a simplified rule set. Unlike earlier attempts at simplifying the game, Nannon maintains enough features a...
Comprehension is a key activity that underpins a variety of software maintenance and engineering tasks. The task of understanding object-oriented systems is hampered by the fact t...
Abstract Software Product Line (SPL) Engineering has proved to be an effective method for software production. However, in the SPL community it is well recognized that variability ...
