Evaluating 'Plasticity-First' Evolution in Nature: Key Criteria and Empirical Approaches.
Many biologists are asking whether environmentally initiated phenotypic change (i.e., 'phenotypic plasticity') precedes, and even facilitates, evolutionary adaptation. However, this 'plasticity-first' hypothesis remains controversial, primarily because comprehensive tests from natural populations are generally lacking. We briefly describe the plasticity-first hypothesis and present much-needed ...
متن کاملEvaluating Semantic Web Service Technologies: Criteria, Approaches and Challenges
To foster reuse, state of the art software engineering has been driven over decades by the trend towards more and more component based software development. In recent years another trend towards more and more distributed and more loosely coupled systems could be observed. Service oriented architectures (SOAs) are the latest product of this long-reaching development. Web services in particular h...

متن کاملEvaluating Software Maintenance Testing Approaches to Support Test Case Evolution
Software Maintenance Testing is essential during software testing phase. All defects found during testing must undergo a re-test process in order to eliminate the flaws. By doing so, test cases are absolutely needed to evolve and change accordingly. In this paper, several maintenance testing approaches namely regression test suite approach, heuristic based approach, keyword based approach, GUI ...
