Assessing Agility

A technique is described that uses goals to assess the agility of software development teams and shows how it can be used with some examples. The agile assessment can be used to make investment decisions and process alterations. Value stream mapping is seen as an important technique in analysing processes.

The International SAT Solver Competitions

is satisfiable is one of the most fundamental problems in computer science, known as the canonical NP-complete Boolean satisfiability (SAT) problem (Biere et al. 2009). In addition to its theoretical importance, major advances in the development of robust implementations of decision procedures for SAT, SAT solvers, have established SAT as an important declarative approach for attacking various ...
