چکیده

Models of programming and debugging suggest many causes of errors, and many classifications of error types exist. Yet, there has been no attempt to link causes of errors to these classifications, nor is there a common vocabulary for reasoning about such causal links. This makes it difficult to compare the abilities of programming styles, languages, and environments to prevent errors. To address this issue, this paper presents a model of programming errors based on past studies of errors. The model was evaluated with two observational of Alice, an event-based programming system, revealing that most errors were due to attentional and strategic problems in implementing algorithms, language constructs, and uses of libraries. In general, the model can support theoretical, design, and educational programming research.

Capacity Development Programming of Bioethanol Fuel Refineries in Iran

The purpose of this paper is design a model for the capacity development of bioethanol refineries in Iran. Due to the variable weather condition, there is the uncertainty in the amount of raw materials, thus we suggest a deterministic programming model Based on probabilities for capacity development. The deterministic linear programming model is represented a signal period planning framework to...

A mixed integer bi-level DEA model for bank branch performance evaluation by Stackelberg approach

One of the most complicated decision making problems for managers is the evaluation of bank performance, which involves various criteria. There are many studies about bank efficiency evaluation by network DEA in the literature review. These studies do not focus on multi-level network. Wu (Eur J Oper Res 207:856–864, 2010) proposed a bi-level structure for cost efficiency at the first time. In t...
