For software design and development (and many, many other tasks), productivity is always a high priority — and in pursuit of this is a seemingly never-ending supply of new methods, from Kaizen ...

In this paper, we give an applications-oriented survey of geometric programming. This important class of nonlinear programming problems has been intensively studied over the past decade and has played ...

A Direct AVR Parallel Access, or DAPA cable, is an incredibly simple and cheap programming method. You can build one very quickly for a few bucks worth of parts, but the convenience comes with a few ...

The transportation method of linear programming is extended to a more general class of problem, for which the "stepping-stone method" of Charnes and Cooper fails. The method is applicable to various ...

Java got its start at the cusp of the internet revolution in the early 1990s. It was created by James Gosling and his colleagues at Sun Microsystems, who wanted to use a virtual machine and language ...

message notification often performed asynchronously. Program-to-program communications access methods may require additional system software to achieve support on all of the necessary platforms. Here ...
