The attributes of individual software engineers are perhaps the most important factors in determining the success of software development. Our goal is to identify the professional compe-tencies that are most essential. In particular, we seek to identify the attributes that diierentiate between exceptional and non-exceptional software engineers. Phase 1 of our research is a qualitative study des...

The ecological conditions leading to delayed dispersal and helping behavior are generally thought to follow one of two contrasting scenarios: that conditions are stable and predictable, resulting in young being ecologically forced to remain as helpers (extrinsic constraints and the habitat saturation hypothesis), or that conditions are highly variable and unpredictable, leading to the need for ...

Exception handling mechanisms provided by programming languages are intended to ease the di culty of developing robust software systems. Using these mechanisms, a software developer can describe the exceptional conditions a module might raise, and the response of the module to exceptional conditions that may occur as it is executing. Creating a robust system from such a localized view requires ...

In this paper, we study sequences of complex numbers the first order. Multiple terms are allowed for such sequences. We also consider with a finite maximum density. construct special coverings multiple sets {λk,nk} consisting circles centered at points λk radii. particular, connected components relatively small diameter, as well that C0-sets. These act exceptional entire functions exponential t...
