Data Architects, DBA's, Analysts and Designers rely on Data Modeling tools to facilitate and simplify their data Modeling efforts, while maximizing the use of their resources. The Power*Architect allows these busy highly technical resources to perform this most intricate part of their job in a fraction of the time.
The Power*Architect is a user-friendly data modeling tool created by data warehouse designers, and has many unique features geared specifically for the data warehouse architect. It allows users to reverse-engineer existing databases, perform data profiling on source databases, and auto-generate ETL metadata.
Plus, the Power*Architect has the ability to take snapshots of database structures, allowing users to design DW data models while working offline.
Whether you are building a Data Warehouse or using data models to communicate business rules, the Power*Architect will facilitate and automate your data modeling efforts.
Apple and Microsoft have always disagreed in how to display fonts on computer displays. Today, both companies are using sub-pixel rendering to coax sharper-looking fonts out of typical low resolution screens. Where they differ is in philosophy.
Gecode/J is a Java interface for the Gecode C++ constraint programming library. It allows you to
model and solve
constraint problems in Java.
explore the search tree
with Gist, the Graphical Interactive Search Tool. Either using the built-in depth-first search strategy, or manually and interactively. Solutions and choice nodes can be inspected by clicking on them, and visualized using custom actions.
implement propagators
in Java. Whether for prototyping, for teaching, or just for fun. The propagators are integrated fully, so in your model you can mix them freely with the built-in propagators provided by Gecode.
implement branchings
for custom heuristics. Just like propagators, custom branchings fully integrate into Gecode/J.
implement search engines
using copying and recomputation. As search is fully programmable, you can write your own search engine, e.g. for LDS or A* search. In fact, Gist is implemented entirely in Java using the Gecode/J interface.
