Approximate predicates can be used to reduce the number of comparisons made by expensive, complex predicates. For example, to check if a point is within a region (expensive predic...
Function Point Analysis measures user requested functionality independent of the technology used for implementation. Software applications are represented stract model that contai...
A modeling approach is presented that captures the dependence of the power dissipation of a combinational logic circuit on its input output signal switching activity. The resulting...
