The European Union identifies the regional level as ideal spatial scale for resources’ redistribution, in so doing turning regions into key development players. This raises challenges due to heterogeneity of EU terms administrative configurations, and governance planning systems. contribution this article draws on results three interlinked ESPON research projects shed light matter. Building an ...

Preschoolers with severe autism and minimal speech were assigned either a discrete trial or a naturalistic language treatment, and parents of all participants also received parent responsiveness training. After 12 weeks, both groups showed comparable improvement in number of spoken words produced, on average. Approximately half the children in each group achieved benchmarks for the first stage ...

This paper is concerned with the bi-objective problem in searchbased software engineering for high-level decision-making. The paper presents bi-objective models for next release problem and modularization quality problem that characterized by the presence of two conflicting demands, for which the decision maker must find a suitable balance. The complex nature of such kind of problem has motivat...

When developing large software systems it is hard to predict their performance behavior at early development stages. This paper presents an engineering methodology for performance prediction based on high-level application architectures that are simulated within the real infrastructure setup. This methodology is realized in a performance simulation framework. Our results show that a software sy...
