Recently several simply computed graph theoretic measures of computer program complexity, testing and unstructuredness have been proposed. Most of them are based on a static analysis of the program graph. One of the best known and most widely accepted is the cyclomatic number. Another is the number of knots, or...
This paper presents a study of the distribution of assembly language instructions in two avionics software applications and the development of an information theoretic software complexity metric based on the study. The instructions were grouped into classes , e.g. load and store, arithmetic, jump, compare, etc. As expected the distribution...
Context-free grammars with graph control provide a general framework for the various types of context-free grammars with regulated rewriting. The vertices or edges of the directed graph are labeled with the productions of the grammar. The only strings in the language generated by the grammar are those whose derivations correspond...
Measurements on growth traits up to 41 years of age
from 68 progeny sites in eight first-generation breeding
zones of coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii
[MIRB.] FRANCO var. menziesii) in the US Pacific Northwest
were used to investigate age trends of genetic parameters
and to determine optimum age of selection. Heritabilities...
This paper reports on the valuation of the marine halibut and salmon sport fishery of central and lower Cook Inlet, Alaska. The project was designed to simulate changes in economic value and regional economic impacts for environmental analysis but has also been used in fishery allocation management. This study develops...
