Abstract

Introduction\r\rSoftware engineers often face problems associated with\rthe balancing of competing constraints, trade-offs between\rconcerns and requirement imprecision. Perfect solutions are\roften either impossible or impractical and the nature of the\rproblems often makes the definition of analytical algorithms\rproblematic.\r\rLike other engineering disciplines, software engineering\ris typically concerned with near optimal solutions or those\rwhich fall within a specified acceptable tolerance....
