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 ...

In part one of this series, we looked at the PLC’s internal architecture, briefly discussed Ladder Logic programming, Human-Machine Interfaces, advantages of the PLC’s ability to react consistently ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Firmware often is preprogrammed into flash memory devices prior to the printed-circuit board’s (PCB) manufacture to maintain high ...

In this paper, we give an applications-oriented survey of geometric programming. This important class of nonlinear programming problems has been intensively studied over the past decade and has played ...

Method references are a shorthand way to write lambda expressions that call a single method. Rather than implementing a method in a functional interface, a method reference simply points to an ...

Two dynamic programming approaches for treating sequencing problems-one proposed by Schrage and Baker and the other by Lawler-are discussed in the context of an assembly line balancing problem. A ...

An abstract class is a template definition of methods and variables in a specific class, or category of objects. In programming, objects are units of code, and each object is made into a generic class ...
