Software modernisation or re-engineering as a concept lacksuniversal clarity. System Building with APL + Win seeks toclarify this problem by identifying the solution to the long termsurvival of the APL application as the elimination of APL specificconsiderations in the choice of a development tool. The authorshows how to deploy...
In recent years, new paradigms have emerged to replace-or augment-the traditional, mathematically based approaches to optimization. The most powerful of these are genetic algorithms (GA), inspired by natural selection, and genetic programming, an extension of GAs based on the optimization of symbolic codes.
This book gathers a selection of peer-reviewed papers presented at the Tiangong-2 Data Utilization Conference, which was held in Beijing, China, in December 2018. As the first space laboratory in China, Tiangong-2 carries 3 new types of remote sensing payloads – the Wide-band Imaging Spectrometer (WIS), Three-dimensional Imaging...
