Nash developed a program to compare the efficiency of different keyboard arrangements and reduced scanning steps by arranging keyboards so that letters which commonly being words were closer to the front, using a simulated annealing algorithm. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2011 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
