— This paper describes a novel, ultra-fast heuristic algorithm to address an NP-hard optimization problem. One of its significances is that, for the first time, the paper shows...
During the past ten years, a large number of quality models have been proposed in the literature. In general, the goal of these models is to predict a quality factor starting from...
The paper addresses the issue of microprocessor and microcontroller testing, and follows an approach based on the generation of a test program. The proposed method relies on two p...
The emergence of the world-wide-web has led to an increased interest in methods for searching for information. A key characteristic of many of the online document collections is t...
A value’s degree of use—the number of dynamic uses of that value—provides the most essential information needed to optimize its communication. We present simulation results ...
