  2. Design pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_pattern

    A design pattern is the re-usable form of a solution to a design problem. The idea was introduced by the architect Christopher Alexander [ 1 ] and has been adapted for various other disciplines, particularly software engineering .

  3. Divide-and-conquer algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divide-and-conquer_algorithm

    The solutions to the sub-problems are then combined to give a solution to the original problem. The divide-and-conquer technique is the basis of efficient algorithms for many problems, such as sorting (e.g., quicksort , merge sort ), multiplying large numbers (e.g., the Karatsuba algorithm ), finding the closest pair of points , syntactic ...

  4. Assignment problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assignment_problem

    The assignment problem is a fundamental combinatorial optimization problem. In its most general form, the problem is as follows: The problem instance has a number of agents and a number of tasks. Any agent can be assigned to perform any task, incurring some cost that may vary depending on the agent-task assignment.

  5. Integer programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_programming

    An integer programming problem is a mathematical optimization or feasibility program in which some or all of the variables are restricted to be integers.In many settings the term refers to integer linear programming (ILP), in which the objective function and the constraints (other than the integer constraints) are linear.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_maintenance

    Software maintenance is the modification of software after delivery. [1]As per the IEEE standard glossary of software engineering terminology, software maintenance refers to the process of modifying and updating software after its initial development and deployment, to correct faults, improve performance or other attributes, add new features to meet evolving user requirements, or adapt to a ...
