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 ...

Knowledge representation and reasoning in logic programming constitute a core area of artificial intelligence that formalises how information is symbolically encoded and manipulated. This field ...

Instructions in a program arranged in a prescribed order to solve a problem. Give a requirement to several programmers, each is likely to create different program logic. As long as the program works, ...

Picat is a new logic-based programming language. In many ways, Picat is similar to Prolog, especially B-Prolog, but it has functions in addition to predicates, pattern-matching instead of unification ...

Despite its complexity, the software development process has gotten better over the years. “Mature” programmers remember how many things required manual intervention and hand-tuning back in the day.

Capturing data signals during embedded system design can prove challenging. Modern logic analyzers make data acquisition tasks easier by providing advanced triggering capabilities that get to the root ...

Let’s think about making programs themselves adapt. This has been called adaptive computing by some. And no, I’m not talking about agile programming or adaptive programming. Thinking adaptively can ...

High Performance Computing (HPC) and parallel programming techniques underpin many of today’s most demanding computational tasks, from complex scientific simulations to data-intensive analytics. This ...
