Special Issue on "Estimation, Testing and Forecasting in Econometrics"

One of us (King) joined Monash University as a young lecturer in econometrics in 1979. At about that time, there was a noticeable leap in the availability of computer power that allowed us to contemplate a likelihood based approach to econometrics. For example, the Faculty of Economics and Politics had taken delivery of its own VAX11/780 mini computer which allowed serious statistical and econo...

Special Issue on Dynamic Analysis and Testing of Embedded Software

Research challenges in dynamic analysis and testing have been studied for decades. Nonetheless, as new hardware and software technologies emerge and become more powerful, many interesting techniques that were previously considered to be impractical or remained unexplored are receiving significant attention. This special issue presents novel research work in the dynamic analysis and testing of e...

Special Issue on Testing and Tuning of Database Systems

Tuning database system configuration parameters to proper values according to the expected query workload plays a very important role in determining DBMS performance. However, the number of configuration parameters in a DBMS is very large. Furthermore, typical query workloads have a large number of constituent queries, which makes tuning very time and effort intensive. To reduce tuning time and...
