The "International Journal of Critical Computer-Based Systems" (IJCCBS) is a quarterly research journal by Inderscience Publishers. It focuses on engineering and verification of complex computer-based systems (where complex means large, distributed and heterogeneous) in critical applications, with special emphasis on model-based approaches and industrial case-studies. Critical computer-based systems include real-time control, fly/brake-by-wire, on-line transactional and web servers, biomedical apparels, networked devices for telecommunications, environmental monitoring, infrastructure protection, etc.
Want to write shorter, cleaner code? Have an unfortunate situation where you need to fit as much as you can in one expression? Prefer a quick dose of hacks to spending the rest of your life reading the docs? You've come to the right place.
Welcome to TopCoder.
Our model is built on three key beliefs:
* Intelligence and talent are universal, not limited to one country or one company.
* The best and smartest ideas should prevail, regardless of where they come from.
* The only way to determine who has a better solution is through competition.
The foundation of TopCoder is a global community of thousands. From coders and contractors to students and hobbyists, they're brought together by a love of programming, a passion for learning, and the
drive to compete.
Together with our community, we established a rigorous and disciplined software development process that leverages our unique competition model. Based on a growing catalog of reusable software components - built and tested by our members - this process generates high-quality applications quickly and efficiently.
Through competition, the TopCoder community has revolutionized the way software is built.
Manufacturer of computer hardware and software including SPARC processors, SPARC and Opteron powered servers and workstations, Java and the Solaris Operating Environment.
