  • A taxonomic analysis of typographic programming style

    Creator:
    Oman, Paul W.
    Abstract:
    Program comprehension is important in program testing, debugging, and maintenance. Programming style impacts program understanding. However, there has not been any systematic identification of individual style factors and their contribution to program comprehension. In this thesis we present a programming style taxonomy composed of three classes: typographic (program layout and...

  • On asymmetric error-correcting codes

    Creator:
    Cunningham, Robert Stephen
    Abstract:
    Historically, coding theory has dealt with binary codes correcting symmetric errors, in which errors are made in both 0 and 1 bits with equal likelihood. Within the past ten years, some study has been made of asymmetric codes, under the assumption that the only errors which occur are errors in...

  • Unidirectional error correcting/detecting codes

    Creator:
    Lin, Der Jei
    Abstract:
    An extensive theory of symmetric error control coding has been developed in the last few decades. The recently developed VLSI circuits, ROM, and RAM memories have given an impetus to the extension of error control coding to include asymmetric and unidirectional types of error control. The maximal numbers of unidirectional...

  • New bounds and constructions for error control codes

    Creator:
    Al-Darwish, Nasir Ali
    Abstract:
    The bulk of the theory on error control codes has been developed under the fault assumption of random (symmetric) errors, where 1 → 0 and 0 → 1 errors are equally likely. In the past few years, several applications have emerged in which the observed errors are highly asymmetric. This...
