Psychological science has developed remarkably in the past century. These advances are due in part to the development of new methods for examining the underpinnings of how people think and behave. Although studies that employ the naked eye as a measuring instrument still hold tremendous value, behavioral observation is now joined by cutting-edge methods that permit reliable examination of human...

Reverse Engineering is focused on the challenging task of understanding legacy program code without having suitable documentation. Using a transformational forward engineering perspective, we gain the insight that much of this difficulty is caused by design decisions made during system development. Such decisions “hide” the program functionality and performance requirements in the final system ...

Mathematical modeling of phrase structure grammars has yielded many results of benefit to linguists in their investigation of these grammars, such as Chomsky’s characterization in terms of self-embedding of those context-free languages which are not regular. The recent shift of focus in linguistic theory to transformational grammars has not been accompanied by a similar application of mathemati...
