(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)Most people who have tried to interchange text between dissimilar word-processors or formatters have given up in despair because incompatibility in media, communications, document structure, and formatting commands make ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)Studies have shown that reusing existing software can reduce development costs, speed up the development process, and provide a more reliable product. A software classification methodology and retrieval model have been ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)This dissertation is concerned with the combinatorics of visibility graphs of simple polygons. We seek to obtain combinatorial properties that characterize such visibility graphs. A key algorithmic problem that arises in ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)Managers of software projects require automated tools for integrating and smoothly carrying out control, advising, monitoring, and prediction management tasks. However, contemporary project managers still can only employ ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1995)Design can be considered as a constraint satisfaction
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)The research reported herein involved the design and automation of the Control Structure Diagram (CSD), a graphical stepwise refinement tool for use in the development and maintenance of software written in block-structured ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)Multistage Interconnection Network (MIN) has gained widespread popularity in both multiprocessor and ATM switching applications because of its cost-effectiveness structure. Thus, design and analysis of high performance MIN ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)In Heterogeneous Database Systems (HDBS), concurrency control presents a new problem since serializability at the local level does not guarantee serializability at the global level. Several approaches have been proposed ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)The objective of the research is the design of a system of reusable software parts which can be utilized as kernel primitives in constructing prototype software metrics. A methodology for designing an automatable set of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)Distributed execution of the independent components of a simulation model poses some problems such as incorrect forward simulation and deadlocks that do not occur in real systems. The objectives of this research were to ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1996)Dexterous manipulation planning can be defined as the process of determining the control trajectories both in terms of joint displacements and efforts for an articulated mechanical hand, in such a way that, if executed, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)This research describes a comprehensive approach for applying end-user feedback in the context of iterative software design. The approach describes both a methodology, called EVIDENCE, and a complementary software tool. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)The research reported in this dissertation involved the design and development of a multitasked emulation of a microprocessor-based distributed discrete simulation system based upon the support function approach. A prototype ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)This research presents the design, implementation, and testing of FTMP (Fault Tolerant Monitor Protocol). FTMP provides distributed reliability services to application programs in a highly redundant, loosely coupled, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)This dissertation discusses motivations and methods for translation of knowledge bases (KBs) between different expert system building tools (ESBTs). A Knowledge Canonical Form (KCF) is presented as a generic knowledge ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)Liu & Layland provided a utilization bound test which is applicable to rate-monotonic priority assignment, when all tasks deadlines axe at the end of their periods. Subsequently, Lehoczky and others provided an exact ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1970)A numerical simulation method was developed to generate typical geologic strata and to solve two-dimensional reservoir problems of the type encountered in water injection of wells. The method includes more variables and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)The advances in hardware have made possible the application of multiple processors to the domain of simulation. However, the use of multiple processors complicates the model development process by requiring the simulationist ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)Many real-time systems built in the past based their scheduling on the cyclic executive model because it produces predictable schedules which facilitate exhaustive testing. The rate-monotonic algorithm has the advantage ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)The complexities of providing data management support for advanced hypermedia computing environments make it clear that effectiveness requires more than simple extensions to existing database technology. This dissertation ...
