The Integration of Software Development Tools
(1987-04-01)The effectiveness of software development tools can be dr creased by their integration (i.e. their cooperation). This paper discusses the problems to be overcome in integration of tools, and a categorization of the degree ... -
Intelligent Simulation Modeling of a Flexible Manufacturing System with Automated Guided Vehicles
(1994-05-01)Although simulation is a very flexible and cost effective problem solving technique, it has been traditionally limited to building models which are merely descriptive of the system under study. Relatively new approaches ... -
Interface-based Programming Assignments and Automatic Grading of Java Programs
(2006-01-01)AutoGrader is a framework developed at Miami University for the automatic grading of student programming assignments written in the Java programming language. AutoGrader leverages the abstract concept of interfaces, brought ... -
Investigation of Programming Languages for an Automated Manufacturing System
(1995-07-01)This paper is an investigation of alternative programming languages for use in manufacturing control applications. After reviewing several types of languages, two alternative languages for programming the flexible manufacturing ... -
A Language for Rule-based Systems
(1988-09-01)Expert systems are proliferating in many situations in which it is important to capture expertise in a computer system. This type of system is useful in situations in which human expertise is expensive or difficult to ... -
Librarian A Multi-User License Manager
(1992-08-01)A common problem in network administration is that there are often more workstations on a network than there are available licensed copies of the various software products. The purpose of the software described herein is ... -
Location-Allocation Analysis of Retailing Using Microsoft Windows
(1992-04-01)The chief objective of this research project is to provide a user-friendly graphical interface for location-allocation analysis of retailing. An application program named Loc is developed with Microsoft Windows. The ... -
A Methodology for the Implementation and Maintenance Of a Data Warehouse
(1995-12-01)A methodology for the implementation and maintenance of a data warehouse is described. The data warehouse forms the basis for a marketing decision support system for use by a large surgical equipment manufacturer and ... -
Node Re-Usability in Structured Hypertext Systems
(1992-08-01)When the size of a graph-based hyperdocument exceeds a certain limit, the graph structure gets complicated and causes navigation and document management problems. A simple solution for this problem is the structuring ofthe ... -
Objects and Types: A Tutorial
(1988-08-01)This paper is a tutorial explaining the concepts that surround abstract data types and object-oriented programming, and the relationships between these groups of concepts. These concepts include types (languagedefied, ... -
"PanaeaMud An Online, Object-oriented Multiple User Interactive Geologic Database Tool"
(1993-12-01)This paper provides an overview of the design, development, and use of the PangaeaMud Database System. Section I gives an introduction to pertinent concepts and discusses previous work in the area. Section I1 is devoted ... -
Periodic orbits in systems with backlash: Stability, classification & observability
(2007-01-01)Backlash, clearance or dead zone is a common feature of many mechanical systems and can undermine the performance of the system, since it has a large influence on the dynamics and control of systems. It can be caused by ... -
A Probabilistic Solution Generator of Good Enough Designs for Simulation
(1999-12-01)We build a probabilistic solution generator using the learning automata theory, which can generate a small set of "good enough" designs with a predetermined high probability. The main goal of our work is to reduce a large ... -
Prototyping in a Centralized vs. Client/Server Environment
(1995-05-01)Client/Sewer technology has become a hot topic. It has changed the way we think about systems development and implementation. In this paper a proposed experimental system is used as a test case to help define whether ... -
Signature File Hashing Using Term Occurrence and Query Frequencies
(1992-08-01)Signature files act as a filter on retrieval to discard a large number of non-qualifying data items. Linear hashing with superimposed signatures (LHSS) provides an effective retrieval filter to process queries in dynamic ...
