Computational methods

Backtracking....

• Helps in solving an overall issue by finding a solution

  to the first sub-problem and then recursively attempting to resolve other sub-problems based on the solution of the first issue

• Helps in solving an overall issue by finding the data types and then recursively attempting to resolve other data types

Data mining....

• The process of discovering interesting and useful patterns and relationships in large volumes of data.

• The process of importing large volumes of data.

Pipelining....

• Simulations can be used to predict performance before real systems are constructed

• Is a common technique where the output of one process can be fed into another

Performance modelling...

• Simulations can be used to predict performance before real systems are constructed

• Examines large data sets looking for patterns and relationships

Heuristic...

• 'Perfect'

• 'Good enough'

Visualisation

• Real life objects and systems can be modelled in order

• Problems and data can often be better understood when translated into a visual model
