The simulated annealing (SA) algorithm has been applied for the optimization of a variety of
systems. In this paper, we discuss the application of SA for optimizing the operation of …

The domain expert's heuristics in the performance design and improvement of collaborative
systems are systematized as Qualitative rules. A knowledge base system built by using the …

In the conventional system development life cycle (SDLC), the system performance
evaluation phase comes after the implementation phase. Our strategy is to project system …

This paper proposes an analysis process and tools for analysing collaboration task. In order
to analyse the collaboration task, it is important to grasp not only the workflow in the entire …

The “survival of the fittest” strategy of the Genetic Algorithm (GA) has been found to be robust
and is widely used in solving combinatorial optimization problems like job scheduling, circuit …

Much research has been done on Design Rationale (DR) in software development. DR
consists of the decisions made during the design process and the reasons behind them. It is …

The domain expert's heuristics are used in the performance design of collaborative systems
which are modelled by client-server timed Petri nets. The collaborative system Petri net …
