We present a highly efficient second order algorithm for the training of feedforward neural
networks. The algorithm is based on iterations of the form employed in the Levenberg …

Business Process Management (BPM) acceptance requires a modeling framework in which
all abstraction layers (from the high-level enterprise view to the low-level task view) are …

Normalized Systems (NS) theory has recently been proposed as an approach to develop
agile and evolvable software by defining theorems and design patterns for software …

With the increasing dependence on software systems, their longevity is becoming a pressing
need. Stability is envisioned as a primary property to achieve longevity. Stability has been …

There are several best practices and proposals that help to design and develop software
systems immune (to some extent) to combinatorial effects as these systems evolve …

Database normalization theory offers formalized guidelines how to reduce data redundancy
and thus problems that it causes in databases. More lately, researchers have started to …

Moore's law states that the number of transistors on a chip will double every two years. A
similar force appears to drive the progress of information technology (IT). IT companies tend …

Contemporary organizations are required to adapt to a changing environment in an agile
way, which is often deemed very challenging. Normalized Systems (NS) theory attempts to …

Normalized systems theory has recently been proposed to engineer evolvable information
systems. This theory includes a potential of improvement in control software for the …

The automated generation of source code is a widely adopted technique to improve the
productivity of computer programming. Normalized Systems Theory (NST) aims to create …
