Context: The popularity of domain-specific languages and model driven development has
made the tacit use of domain knowledge in system development more tangible. Our vision is …

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 …

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 …

Due to factors such as hyper-competition, increasing expectations from customers,
regulatory changes, and technological advancements, the conditions in which enterprises …

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 …

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 …

Our research aims at finding key concepts to link agile enterprises with agile automated
information systems. To effectively respond to environmental changes, such as in market …

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