Best Practices for Software Performance Engineering

Performance—responsiveness and scalability—is a make-or-break quality for software. Software performance engineering (SPE) [Smith and Williams 2002], [Smith 1990] provides a systematic, quantitative approach to constructing software systems that meet performance objectives. With SPE, you detect problems early in development, and use quantitative methods to support cost-benefit analysis of hardw...

Best Agglomerative Ranked Subset for Feature Selection

The enormous increase of the size in databases makes finding an optimal subset of features extremely difficult. In this paper, a new feature selection method is proposed that will allow any subset evaluator -including the wrapper evaluation methodto be used to find a group of features that will allow a distinction to be made between the different possible classes. The method, BARS (Best Agglome...
