Software testing can be very helpful to students if adopted in programming assignments throughout the Computer Science curriculum. Many testing practices involve students writing their own test cases. This approach implies ...

This article uses integer linear programming to address the referee assignment problem in the First Division of the Chilean professional football league. The proposed approach considers balance in the number of matches ...

Assigning cells to switches in a cellular mobile network is known as an NP-hard optimization problem. This means that the alternative for the solution of this type of problem is the use of heuristic methods, because they ...

Background: We present “Ask Ernö”, a self-learning system for the automatic analysis of NMR spectra, consisting of integrated chemical shift assignment and prediction tools. The output of the automatic assignment ...

Programming foundations is not an easy subject to be taught, mainly because of the abstract concepts that need to be mastered. On the other hand, experiences have suggested that the early mastering of testing concepts ...

We exploit the exogenous characteristic of random freshmen course assignment in a large Chilean university to identify the causal effect of teachers and their qualitative characteristics over students’ major choice. ...

Humans are at the heart of crucial processes in warehouses. Besides the common economic goal of minimising cycle times, we therefore add in this paper the human well-being goal of minimising workers’ discomfort in the ...

We propose a new metaheuristic algorithm to find “good” solutions for the assignment of small treatment-control groups, minimising the random resource. Using simulated cases, we achieved 100% groups with equivalence levels ...
