The implementation of a TMS solution is a highly complex and mission critical project. If executed correctly a good TMS can deliver a number of benefits to the organization in terms of optimization, greater efficiency, reduced errors and improved revenue through accurate invoicing. However a number of projects fail to realize these...
Sequences are an important type of data which occur frequently in many scientific,
medical, security, business and other applications. For example, DNA
sequences encode the genetic makeup of humans and all species, and protein
sequences describe the amino acid composition of proteins and encode
the structure and function of...
Over the past two decades, software engineering has come a long way from object-based to object-oriented to component-based design and development. Invasive software composition is a new technique that unifies and extends recent software engineering concepts like generic programming, aspect-oriented development, architecture systems, or...
