Software realizations of computationally-demanding image processing tasks (e.g. image transforms and convolution) do not currently provide graceful degradation when their clock-cy...
We present a discrete simulation model for software projects which explicitly takes a scheduling strategy as input. The model represents varying staff skill levels, component coup...
