In this paper, we study a special class of generalized Douglas-Weyl metrics whose Douglas curvature is constant along any Finslerian geodesic. We prove that for every Landsberg metric in this class of Finsler metrics, ? = 0 if and only if H = 0. Then we show that every Finsler metric of non-zero isotropic flag curvature in this class of metrics is a Riemannian if and only if ? = 0.

Context: Software industry has widely adopted Agile software development methods. Agile literature proposes a few key metrics but little is known of the actual metrics use in Agile teams.

This paper is concerned with the scalability of large-scale grid monitoring and information services, which are mainly used for the discovery of resources of interest. Large-scale grid monitoring systems have to balance between three competing performance metrics: query response time, imposed network overhead, and information freshness. Improving one of the three metrics will affect another; an...
