Citation based approaches, such as the impact factor and h-index, have been used to measure the influence or impact of journals for journal rankings. A survey of the related literature for different disciplines shows that the level of correlation between these citation based approaches is domain...

This article expands understanding of gender and advancement in academic science by going into a new dimension of inquiry: Focusing on women associate professors in computing, it assesses the relationship between perceived chances for promotion to full professor and indicators of...

Database management courses are an essential part of computer science curricula in educational institutions. Courses are normally well-designed, however, in order for students to better understand the theoretical concepts, hands-on practical sessions are also necessary. Such practice will help...

In this paper we analyse the scalability of seven multiobjective evolutionary algorithms when they solve large instances of a known biological problem, the motif discovery problem (MDP). The selected algorithms are a population-based and a trajectory-based algorithms (DEPT and MO-VNS,...
