1Discrete cosine transform — A discrete cosine transform (DCT) expresses a sequence of finitely many data points in terms of a sum of cosine functions oscillating at different frequencies. DCTs are important to numerous applications in science and engineering, from lossy… …
2Discrete event simulation — In discrete event simulation, the operation of a system is represented as a chronological sequence of events. Each event occurs at an instant in time and marks a change of state in the system [1]. For example, if an elevator is simulated, an… …
3Software choice for discrete event simulations — Tools for discrete event simulationsDiscrete event simulations may be written in any general purpose computer language such as C++ but to construct an industry grade project in reasonable time with a general computing language consumes too much… …
4Level of Effort — In Project Management, Level of Effort (LOE) is qualified as a support type activity which doesn t lend itself to measurement of a discrete accomplishment. Examples of such an activity may be project budget accounting, customer liaison, etc. LOE… …
5Earned value management — (EVM) is a project management technique for measuring project performance and progress in an objective manner. EVM has the ability to combine measurements of scope, schedule, and cost in a single integrated system. Earned Value Management is… …
