eHarmony Memo Given the October 2007 conditions‚ it is imperative that eHarmony expands their membership to those interested in medium-term relationships. Its unique matching algorithm‚ central to its integrated system‚ represents significant differentiation among the competition. Welcoming members who are not specifically marriage-oriented can‚ in fact‚ strengthen its position of “serious” relationships within the personals industry. In addition‚ it is a key moment in the industry history‚ and

3.1. Pipes and Filters In a pipe and filter style each component has a set of inputs and a set of outputs. A component reads streams of data on its inputs and produces streams of data on its outputs‚ delivering a complete instance of the result in a standard order. This is usually accomplished by applying a local transformation to the input streams and computing incrementally so output begins before input is consumed. Hence components are termed “filters”. The connectors of this style serve

probabilistic approach to finding failure-causing inputs based on Bayesian estimation. According to our probabilistic insights of software testing‚ the test case generation algorithms are developed by Markov chain Mote Carlo (MCMC) methods. Dissimilar to existing random testing schemes such as adaptive random testing‚ our approach can also utilize the prior knowledge on software testing. In experiments‚ we compare effectiveness of our MCMC-based random testing with both ordinary random testing and adaptive
