The principal control-flow abstraction mechanism in the Cobol language is the PERFORM statement. Normally, PERFORM statements are used in a straightforward manner to define para...
In recent years researchers have developed a wide range of powerful automated reasoning systems. We have leveraged these systems to build Jahob, a program specification, analysis, ...
Evolving solutions rather than computing them certainly represents an unconventional programming approach. The general methodology of evolutionary computation has already been know...
The three problems of the title — the first two widely discussed in the literature, the third less well known but just as important for further development of object technology ...
Mixed-Integer Programs (MIP's) involving logical implications modelled through big-M coefficients, are notoriously among the hardest to solve. In this paper we propose and an...
