1. Conway, John Horton John Horton Conway Conways Law humour> The rule that the organisation of the software and the organisation of the software team will be congruent; originally stated as "If you have four groups working on a compiler, youll get a 4-pass compiler". Melvin Conway, an early proto-hacker, wrote an assembler for the Burroughs 220 called SAVE. The name "SAVE" didnt stand for anything; it was just that you lost fewer card decks and listings because they all had SAVE written on them. [Jargon File] Conways Life Life cooC Concurrent Object-Oriented C. cooccurrence matrix Given a position operator Pi,j, let A be a nxn matrix whose element A[i][j] is the number of times that points with grey level intensity g[i] occur, in the position specified by P, relative to points with grey level g[j]. Let C be the nxn matrix that is produced by dividing A with the total number of point pairs that satisfy P. C[i][j] is a measure of the joint probability that a pair of points satisfying P will have values g[i], g[j]. C is called a cooccurrence matrix defined by P. Examples for the operator P are: "i above j", "i one position to the right and two below j", etc.
