Advertising in our days is moving to the social media since consumers are spending more and more time on such platforms that offer very customized information for each user. Facebook, for example, is trying to bring each person the most meaningful content, which means the advertising is...

The declarative programming by declarative languages is clearly the best option a programmer can have for a completely readable, flexible and extensible code. Today, the economics of programming is clearly focused on the declarative paradigm while most imperative languages are trying to become...

Programming paradigms, inspired by the Thomas Kuhn’s paradigm shift theory, are related to the particular way of thinking when it is about the practice of programming.

EVM (Earned Value Management) is a method that can be successfully used to measure the performance of a project from the cost and schedule points of view. Initially developed for the US government programs in the 60s, it later becomes an important feature of any modern project management...

This paper explores the possibilities of combining the PROLOG simplicity with the power of JAVA in order to create better user friendly software applications for the market.

Software development projects are logically divided into phases that are composing the project life cycle. The name and number of these phases are industry dependent, so they are completely different from one field of activity to another. Typically, the phases are scheduled sequentially but in...

Despite of its age, the Pareto Principle is still a strong mechanism constantly used in quality control of projects from various areas, including the IT field.

The base entity in computer programming is the process or task. The parallelism can be achieved by executing multiple processes on different processors. Distributed systems are managed by distributed operating systems that represent the extension for multiprocessor architectures of multitasking...

Several methods can be applied to parallelize a program containing input/output operations but one of the most important challenges is to parallelize loops because they usually spend the most CPU time even if the code contained is very small. A loop could by parallelized by distributing...
