Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel High-Speed 54⨯54 bit MultiplierPouya Asadi, Keivan NaviA new 54⨯54-bit multiplier using high-speed carry-lookahead adder has been fabricated by CMOS technology. This paper presents a self-timed carry-lookahead adder in which the logic complexity was a linear function of n, the number of inputs, and the average computation time was proportional to the logarithm of the logarithm of n. To the best of our knowledge, our adder has … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,083 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Adjustable Sample Size Estimation Model for Usability AssessmentHaidar S. Jabbar, T.V. Gopal, Sattar J. AboudUsability assessment plays a fundamental role in discovering usability problems and the determination of the level of usability for a given software product. One crucial aspect in every usability assessment is the estimation of the sample size desired for a software product. Once we start estimating the sample size needed for a usability assessment, a baffling question comes in mind: … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 6,966 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCross Layer Optimization Based on Rate Distribution in Multirate Wireless Sensor NetworkHonggang Wang, Dongming Peng, Wei Wang, Hamid SharifIt is important to increase the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) lifetime, due to its limited energy resource, while meeting the constraints of applications. Recent Advances for In-Network Processing (INP) motivate many WSN applications which are based on multi rate and distributed signal processing, and therefore require the support of rate-based routing as well as MAC and link layer designs to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,552 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Integrated Quantitative Assessment Model For Usability EngineeringHaidar S. Jabbar, T. V. Gopal, Sattar J. AboudMany different quantitative assessment models have been proposed to measure and report the usability of a general software product for various business and design purposes. However, there are several problems coupled with existing models that consequently bias and affect the process and results of the usability assessment. Moreover, they do not aid their usage by analysts who are not experienced … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 6,702 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeasured Test-Driven Development: Using Measures to Monitor and Control the Unit DevelopmentY. Dubinsky, O. HazzanWe analyze Test Driven Development (TDD) from cognitive and social perspectives. Based on our analysis, we suggest a technique for controlling and monitoring the TDD process by examining measures that relate to the size and complexity of both code and tests. We call this approach Measured TDD. The motivation for TDD arose from practitioners’ tendency to rush into code production, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 7,051 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModule Management Tool in Software Development OrganizationsAhmad A. Al-Rababah, Mohammad A. Al-RababahModule management is an important task at developers’ level in software development organizations. So we consider in this paper software as collection of several modules. Also we study a method of clustering of modules of a large software system. The need of doing such clustering is justified to be an important part of software management in the software development organizations. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 7,033 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Constrained Bottleneck Transportation ProblemPeerayuth Charnsethikul, Saeree SvetasreniTwo classes of the bottleneck transportation problem with an additional budget constraint are introduced. An exact approach was proposed to solve both problem classes with proofs of correctness and complexity. Moreover, the approach was extended to solve a class of multi-commodity transportation network with a special case of the multi-period constrained bottleneck assignment problem. …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,030 accessesView PDFCite
