Double-dummy solver (see computer bridge) - This is one of the cornerstones in solving bridge play with computers. Considering that solving of chess and other games is detailed in several articles, it is reasonable to have an article on double-dummy analysis. To some extent it is just another game tree search, but there are also some important differences compared to typical board games.
Internal States (In computer intelligence: The internal state of an object is the set of all its attributes' values. One particular aspect of the internal state is that a method applied to the object being in a defined internal state {= a specific set of all its attributes' value} will result in another, also defined and reproducible internal state.
This aspect is important when you somehow record system states that you want to replay afterwards in a simulation of the recorded system. By recording the original internal state of an object you are able to reproduce all its subsequent internal states by simply calling its methods without having to store any additional data. However this is easier said than done in practice...
Applied to C++ the internal state will not be altered by a 'const' method.
A mutable attribute {= attribute modifiable by a const method} can be altered without semantically affecting the internal state of an object. At least this is the contract the developer goes for when he uses this modifier.m) (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21345975/what-is-internal-state)

Vtiger - Developers of Vtiger CRM, an open source CRM application that grew to become the most downloaded open source CRM application on SourceForge. Not without controversy. It was developed as a fork of SugarCRM's open sourced code in 2004, packaged with other open source tools that purportedly made it easier for less technically competent (read: small business) users to install. The use of SugarCRM's code in Vtiger's package made it the centerpoint of a debate on the spirit of open source software and its ethical uses. Proponents of Vtiger argued that the company operated true to the spirit of open source making CRM more accessible to small business, and opponents claimed that the use of SugarCRM code, while legal, is appropriation of IP and discourages original contributions to open source.)

Article Request 08-19-16 Emotive Internet (The Internet is evolving from from its current social orientation to what will become predominantly an emotive orientation. Though today’s Internet is more social than it was even 10 years ago, it still remains emotionally challenged. The use of emoticons and emoji in messaging helps, but Internet communications largely remain more android than human. Even vastly higher resolution video conferencing has failed to improve the situation. The Internet, quite simply, hampers the expression of emotion. Fortunately, all of this is about to change. The Emotive Internet, comprising sensor technology and computer based algorithms to enable the real time detection, recognition and sharing of human emotion, is on the horizon.)

Floating browser (There is a whole category of mobile browsers, at least on Android, called "Floating browsers". Two of the most popular, among many others are "Flynx" and "Flyperlink". I did not know this whole category of mobile browsers existed until I was was at Google Play's app section, and I was looking to find an app that would open the "Google Search" app's Search Results list in separate tabs. Generally speaking, when launching Google's app on Android, whether by Voice Command or app-link, the search result links cannot be opened in separate tabs which would enable one to rapidly go through a series of results that you want to research, and have the links open in browser tabs. It has driven me nuts for years. So when I just recently came across a few apps in Google Play that said they could do this kind of desired action — opening search results in tabs — I tried several competing apps, particularly the highest rated "Flynx" and "Flyperlink" (links in SOURCES section), and they were described generically as "floating browsers". I immediately found that their operation, UI and behavior are different from the whole slew of mobile browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Opera, UC browser, Maxthon, and so on. After trying these 2 particular ones, I found that they were very similar, with Flyperlink having come out a year after Flynx. One or two app raters on Google Play proclaimed Flyperlink better than Flynx, but I could not detect an appreciable difference, and I wanted to use the one that had better features. So I googled "compare Flynx to Flyperlink" and in the results I could not find any article that directly compared the two. So I went to wikipedia fully expecting an article on "floating browsers", but there wasn't one. It seems odd to me because if I want to get the best comparison of wiki software in the marketplace, wikipedia has the best comparative information, in particular a table comparing 25 or more contenders. Or take "cloud services", there too wikipedia compares the wide array of Dropbox, Drive, Box, cubby, icloud, Sync and many other contenders. Note that I am not speaking of individual articles on the huge array of wiki software apps or the array of cloud service providers, but rather an article on the category of mobile apps called "floating browsers". I'm a UX Designer and it seems to me this article should be included in wikipedia. Thus my request.) (Sources: Flynx app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flynx&hl=en | Flyperlink app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flyperinc.flyperlink&hl=en | and the Google Search results that convey how just how much this type of browser is distinguished from the world of mobile browsers most smartphine users would be aware of: https://www.google.com/search?num=50&newwindow=1&q=floating+browser&oq=floating+browser&gs_l=serp.3..0i67k1j0l2j0i67k1j0l6.1220255.1220255.0.1222613.1.1.0.0.0.0.136.136.0j1.1.0....0...1c.1.64.serp..0.1.134.P47AqNUIv8o )

Florian Neukart – Scientific Author/ Computer Scientist/ Physicist/ Mathematician working on how to reverse-engineer the mind and gradually replace the biological brain with artificial components, such as quantum nanobots, electrodes, or a neural lace. In his work, he describes methods for interpreting signals in the human brain in combination with state of the art artificial intelligence, allowing for the creation of artificial conscious entities (ACE). His key methods are to establish a symbiotic relationship between a biological brain, sensors, AI and quantum hard- and software, resulting in solutions for the continuous consciousness-problem as well as other state of the art problems [219][220][221][222][223][224][225][226][227][228][229]. His research attracts considerable international attention and earned him numerous speaking invitations on both conferences and more private venues, e.g. the prestigious yearly Helmholtz event about quantum technologies and how these will change the world [230], or [231][232][233][234], as there is a deep urge for people to understand what advanced technology means in terms of the future of mankind. He is the first researcher to not only have practically proposed, but implemented artificial neural networks on quantum computers [235]. He is a pioneer in quantum computing and among the first ones to solve real-world problems of society and environment by means of quantum computing [236][237][238][239][240][241][242][243][244][245][246][247][248][249][250][251][252][253][254][255][256][257][258][259][260][261][262][263][264][265][266][267][268][269]. He is also active in automotive artificial intelligence, where his work earned him international recognition concerning how to solve diverse manufacturing data science problems as well as how to integrate smart cities as a “super-agent” in a level 5 autonomy world [270][271]. He was the first one to have introduced practical quantum computing in academic education worldwide [272]. Currently Principal Scientist at Volkswagen Group of America [273] and visiting scientist and lecturer in the field of quantum computing at the University of Leiden [274][275]. Named by IEEE Computer Society as one of the leading experts in predictive analytics [276].
