Modern society has a higher demand for quality than it had before. Six Sigma approach is a successful manufacturing quality improvement tool. Recently, the Six Sigma approach was introduced in the software development industry. Some software companies have been trying to adapt Six Sigma for their business and development processes. But there are misconceptions about the applicability of Six Sigma in software?s. So there is a demand to debunk the misconceptions related to the applicability of Six Sigma. And to develop a generic software company quality improvement solution, based on Six Sigma approach. The book starts from Six Sigma concept identification and manufacturing investigation. After conducting interviews, a case study and...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! AppML was an open source initiative from W3Schools for describing Internet applications. The name is a contraction of Application Markup Language. AppML used the HTML, CSS, and XML Internet standards to describe applications. AppML was a declarative language, and AppML applications were self-describing. In 1999, the staff at W3Schools began developing AppML. In September 2000, a development project for a large Norwegian customer was started. The goal of the project was to convert a huge information system from a Windows desktop application to a modern Internet application using only AppML. The new AppML-based system was launched in 2001, several months before schedule, and it was one of the...

One of the newest problem in the ?eld of planar graphs is to ?nd a connected subgraph of a plane graph such that all the faces of that plane graph are covered. The faces of a plane graph are the maximal regions of the plane that contain no point used in the embedding. A face is said to be covered or spanned if at least one of the vertices of that face boundary is visited. We denote this type of subgraph as a face spanning subgraph. The minimum face spanning subgraph is the face spanning subgraph with minimum cost. Cost can be measured by number vertices or total weight of the edges. These kind of problems have practical applications in the areas like planning gas pipelines in a locality, layout of power supply lines in a printed circuit...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In mathematics, strong approximation in linear algebraic groups is an important arithmetic property of matrix groups. In rough terms, it explains to what extent there can be an extension of the Chinese remainder theorem to various kinds of matrices. For example, for orthogonal matrices, there cannot be such an extension and there is a theory explaining why there is, and where the problem lies (it is in the spin groups). Strong approximation was established in the 1960s and 1970s, for algebraic groups that are semisimple groups and simply-connected, for global fields. The results for number fields are due to Martin Kneser and Vladimir Platonov; the function field case, over finite fields, is due...

The approximation error in some data is the discrepancy between an exact value and some approximation to it. In the mathematical field of numerical analysis, the numerical stability of an algorithm in numerical analysis indicates how the error is propagated by the algorithm. One commonly distinguishes between the relative error and the absolute error. The absolute error is the magnitude of the difference between the exact value and the approximation. The relative error is the absolute error divided by the magnitude of the exact value. The percent error is the relative error expressed in terms of per 100....

In computer science and operations research, approximation algorithms are algorithms used to find approximate solutions to optimization problems. Approximation algorithms are often associated with NP-hard problems; since it is unlikely that there can ever be efficient polynomial time exact algorithms solving NP-hard problems, one settles for polynomial time sub-optimal solutions. Unlike heuristics, which usually only find reasonably good solutions reasonably fast, one wants provable solution quality and provable run time bounds. Ideally, the approximation is optimal up to a small constant factor (for instance...

An approximation is an inexact representation of something that is still close enough to be useful. Although approximation is most often applied to numbers, it is also frequently applied to such things as mathematical functions, shapes, and physical laws. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

In computing, approximate string matching is the technique of finding approximate matches to a pattern in a string. The closeness of a match is measured in terms of the number of primitive operations necessary to convert the string into an exact match. This number is called the edit distance between the string and the pattern. The usual primitive operations are: insertion: cot -> coat, deletion: coat -> cot, substitution: coat -> cost Данное издание не является оригинальным.

In C*- algebras, an approximately finite dimensional, or AF, C*-algebra is one that is the inductive limit of a sequence of finite dimensional C*-algebras. Approximate finite dimensionality was first defined and described combinatorially by Bratteli. Elliott gave a complete classification of AF algebras using the K0 functor whose range consists of certain type of abelian groups. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) is a family of computational techniques in Bayesian statistics. These simulation techniques operate on summary data (such as population mean, or variance) to make broad inferences with less computation than might be required if all available data were analyzed in detail. They are especially useful in situations where evaluation of the likelihood is computationally prohibitive, or whenever suitable likelihoods are not available.

The software is an uninstall utility which extends the method of uninstalling in Mac OS X, which is dragging the application one wants to uninstall to the trash. By dragging and dropping an application to uninstall in AppZapper, the application searches for additional files residing in directories other than that of the original application, such as preference files and package receipts, the user is then able to select unwanted files and delete them. Apart from the core functionality of AppZapper, other features of the application include a safety system which protects system files and user designated...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Apricot PC was Apricot Computers' first personal computer made for business use. It had two 3.5" floppy drives and a keyboard with an LCD screen. It was released in 1983, and achieved success in the UK. Although it ran MS-DOS and CP/M, it was not an IBM PC compatible as the underlying hardware was very different. An Intel 8089 I/O controller was used, instead of the IBM's 8237 DMA chip; the only ROM was a simple boot loader rather than a full BIOS; and there was no 640k barrier. The floppy disk format was "not quite compatible"; attempting to read an ordinary PC floppy in an Apricot, or vice versa, would result in a scrambled directory listing with some files missing. The Apricot Xi was a...

It was the first computer to use an 80-column/25-line LCD and speech recognition for input/output. The speech recognition software held 4096 words, with only 64 available at a given time. It was also unique in the way that it had an infrared link between it and the keyboard; this was relatively new at the time. However, if an object blocked the infrared beam, communications would be cut off. The Apricot also featured a somewhat Mac-like graphical interface. It...
