This research investigates software functional complexity, which is loosely defined as the difficulties arising from t he functionalities of software, or problem complexity. Software is considered as a task. Therefore, software complexity should be analysed and measured by methods and models of task complexity. Numerous measurement methods (metrics) have been proposed to measure software comple...

Central to any task-based syllabus is the notion of complexity. Proponents of task-based language teaching (TBLT) have argued that tasks be sequenced according to their inherent cognitive complexity, partially because learner performance changes according to the complexity of the task. This exploratory study examines the effect of task complexity on the linguistic complexity of task performance...

grid computing is an emerging computing paradigm that will have significant impact on the next generation information infrastructure. due to the largeness and complexity of grid system, its quality of service, performance and reliability are difficult to model, analyze and evaluate. this paper proposes a virtual tree-structured model of the grid service. this model simplifies the physical struc...

This paper presents an application of Hierarchical Transition Network (HTN) planning to a squad-based military simulation. The hierarchical planner produces collaborative plans for the whole squad in real time, generating the type of highly coordinated behaviours typical for armed combat situations involving trained professionals. Here, we detail the extensions to HTN planning necessary to prov...
