"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 ... -
Software Development for Manufacturing Systems- Language and Networking Issues
(1992-10-01)We have witnessed unprecedented changes in the industrial world with the advent of computers and the field of manufacturing is no exception. With the boom of microcomputers, th eir usage in manufacturing systems was realized ... -
"State-based Control Language a State-based, Interrupt-driven, Concurrent Language with Error Detection and Recovery"
(1995-06-01)A programming environment to support interactive, concurrent programming for Miarni University's Flexible Manufacturing System is described. The environment is intended to replace the existing extended cell programming ... -
Structuring Hypertext Databases Using Hyper-Plate
(1994-12-01)Hypertext is the non-sequential access of information. The hypertext structure is powerful enough to represent informal, semiformal, and formal data. The construction of a hypertext document is a complex and laborious task. ... -
A Survey of Baseball Machine Learning: A Technical Report
Statistical analysis of baseball has long been popular, albeit only in limited capacity until relatively recently. The recent proliferation of computers has added tremendous power and opportunity to this field. Even an ... -
A Survey of Traditional and Practical Concurrency Control in Relational Database Management Systems
(1994-12-01)Traditionally, database theory has focused on concepts such as atomicity and serializability, asserting that concurrent transaction management must enable correctness above all else. Textbooks and academic journals detail ... -
A System Dynamics Model for Automation
(1989-03-01)A system dynamics model is presented in this paper along with the results of simulation of some policies and their consequences automation. The automation seems to be the answer for faster growth and development throughout ... -
A System Dynamics Model For Evaluating Investment Strategies for Agriculture Development
(1987-12-01)This paper presents a System Dynamics model to analyze the consequences of investments in agriculture. The data is taken from the various case studies of agriculture in India and is used as an example in the simulation ... -
System Programming - The Human and the Machine
(1991-12-01)The purpose of this paper is to document my experiences in planning, generating, and modifying the IBM VM/SP operating system (systems programming), survey literature on systems programming, and to draw conclusions as to ...
