Not according to Conklin. Apparently, even simple real-life problems can turn out to have no solution. The book starts with the... May 5 2008 Real-time PDE-constrained optimization (Computational Science and Engineering) Biegler L., Ghattas O., Heinkenschloss M., Keyes D., Waanders B.,  Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, Philadelphia, PA, 2007. 312 pp. Type: Book Optimal control of partial differential equations (PDE) is at the forefront of many challenging real-life problems that require real-time solutions using reliable large-scale optimization algorithms. The collection of papers in this book presents ... Apr 27 2008 An empirical study on the impact of automation on the requirements analysis process Lami G., Ferguson R.  Journal of Computer Science and Technology 22(3): 338-347, 2007. Type: Article What if you could use natural language text to specify your requirements and have a program automatically find vagueness and conflicts? This exciting paper describes a system that performs as well as humans to find such defects.... Apr 20 2008 Five perspectives on computer game history Pargman D., Jakobsson P.  interactions 14(6): 26-29, 2007. Type: Article, Reviews: (3 of 3) Many books and papers concerning the history of computer games (as with history in general) attempt to build upon a timeline that is not always linear. This is because several technological changes either occurred simultaneously or were, in their ... Apr 13 2008 Software product lines in action: the best industrial practice in product line engineering Linden F., Schmid K., Rommes E.,  Springer-Verlag New York, Inc., Secaucus, NJ, 2007. 334 pp. Type: Book Software reuse is a long-sought goal in software engineering, and software product lines (SPLs) are the pinnacle of software reuse. With SPLs, large-scale software reuse, including the reuse of design and test components, as well as software... Apr 6 2008 Client-server architecture for collaborative remote experimentation Callaghan M., Harkin J., McColgan E., McGinnity T., Maguire L.  Journal of Network and Computer Applications 30(4): 1295-1308, 2007. Type: Article In 1948, a patent (No. 2,448,908) was granted to Louis W. Parker for a low-cost television receiver. It was the same year one million homes in the US had television sets. The impact of the new technology was expected to be significant: every home ... Mar 30 2008 The craft of system security Smith S., Marchesini J.,  Addison-Wesley Professional, 2007. 592 pp. Type: Book, Reviews: (1 of 2) This is a truly unique book in both its scope and writing approach. Smith and Marchesini come from an academic and operational background, respectively, so the book addresses the main topics in system security from a bifocal perspective. The... Mar 23 2008 Deblurring images: matrices, spectra, and filtering (Fundamentals of Algorithms 3) Hansen P., Nagy J., O’Leary D.,  Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, Philadelphia, PA, 2006. 130 pp. Type: Book My first comment is simply that I really like this book. It provides an excellent treatment of an important topic in image processing, as well as a major application of the tools of numerical linear algebra.... Mar 16 2008 Responsibility and dependable systems Dewsbury G., Dobson J.,  Springer-Verlag New York, Inc., Secaucus, NJ, 2007. 236 pp. Type: Book How often we hear the twin laments: “They say the computer system can’t do what I need to do,” and “I want a computer that does what I mean and not what I say.” The first comment addresses what the authors call... Mar 9 2008 Handbook of approximation algorithms and metaheuristics (Chapman & Hall/CRC Computer & Information Science Series) Gonzalez T.,  Chapman&Hall/CRC, 2007. 1432 pp. Type: Book, Reviews: (1 of 2) Approximation algorithms were introduced in the 1960s to produce near-optimal solutions to optimization problems that could not be solved in an efficient manner at that point in time. They are often associated with nondeterministic... Mar 2 2008   Display 510152550100 per page
