A Boolean network (BN) with n components is a discrete dynamical system described by the successive iterations of function f:{0,1}n?{0,1}n. This model finds applications in biology, where fixed points play central role. For example, genetic regulations, they correspond to cell phenotypes. In this context, experiments reveal existence positive or negative influences among components. The digraph...

In one way or another all stakeholders, project managers, end users, and executives must work with software size metrics, however, many organizations do not have the patience or budget to fully implement IFPUG function point counting techniques. Fast Function Points were developed by the Cost Xpert Group, as an extension of work by Software Productivity Research, Inc. (SPR), to support approxim...
