Book Description
Artificial neural networks (ANN) are widely used in diverse fields of science and industry. Though there have been numerous techniques used for their implementations, the choice of a specific implementation is subjected to different factors including cost, accuracy, processing speed and overall performance. Featured with synaptic plasticity, the process of training is concerned with adjusting the individual weights between each of the individual ANN neurons until we can achieve close to the desired output. This book introduces the common trajectory-driven and evolutionary-based ANN training algorithms.

A Philosophy of Software Design
Author: John K. Ousterhout

ISBN: 9781732102217
Category : Computer programs
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"This book addresses the topic of software design: how to decompose complex software systems into modules (such as classes and methods) that can be implemented relatively independently. The book first introduces the fundamental problem in software design, which is managing complexity. It then discusses philosophical issues about how to approach the software design process and it presents a collection of design principles to apply during software design. The book also introduces a set of red flags that identify design problems. You can apply the ideas in this book to minimize the complexity of large software systems, so that you can write software more quickly and cheaply."--Amazon.

Software Reuse: Methods, Techniques, and Tools
Author: Cristina Gacek
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3540460209
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 365
Book Description
As a result of the open-source movement there is now a great deal of reusable software available in the public domain. This offers significant functionality that commercial software vendors can use in their software projects. Open-source approaches to software development have illustrated that complex, mission critical software can be developed by distributed teams of developers sharing a common goal. Commercial software vendors have an opportunity to both learn from the op- source community as well as leverage that knowledge for the benefit of its commercial clients. Nonetheless, the open-source movement is a diverse collection of ideas, knowledge, techniques, and solutions. As a result, it is far from clear how these approaches should be applied to commercial software engineering. This paper has looked at many of the dimensions of the open-source movement, and provided an analysis of the different opportunities available to commercial software vendors. References and Notes 1. It can be argued that the open-source community has produced really only two essential 9 products -- Apache (undeniably the most popular web server) and Linux although both are essentially reincarnations of prior systems. Both are also somewhat products of their times: Apache filled a hole in the then emerging Web, at a time no platform vendor really knew how to step in, and Linux filled a hole in the fragmented Unix market, colored by the community s general anger against Microsoft. 2.Evans Marketing Services, Linux Developers Survey, Volume 1, March 2000.
