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 ... -
Signature Files: An Integrated Access Method for Formatted and Unformatted Databases
(1993-05-01)The signature file approach is one of the most powerful information storage and retrieval techniques which is used for finding the data objects that are relevant to the user queries. The main idea of all signature based ... -
A Simple System Dynamics Model For the Wildlife and Fish Resource
(1987-08-01)This research aims to build a dynamic model to describe the major relationships within the "Wildlife and Fish" element of the Forest Service. Our purpose is to capture the major relationships so that the model is capable ... -
A Simulation Game for Software Project Management
(1992-03-01)The software industry is one of the most rapidly growing businesses in our age. Yet, this growth has not been a wellbalanced one. On the one hand, on the technical side, programming languages, programming techniques and ... -
A Simulation of Rapid Evolution: Its Development in the Object-Oriented Paradigm
(1993-01-01)This project centered around an event in population genetics, the modeling necessary to explain it, and the way that the object-oriented paradigm influenced the implementation of the model. This paper is divided into three ... -
A Simulation Tool for the Manufacturing Engineering Department's Flexible Manufacturing Cell
(1996-04-01)The flexible manufacturing cell in the manufacturing engineering department's computer integrated manufacturing systems lab is used to study manufacturing processes. A loop conveyor, an automated storage and retrieval ...
