(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)This research concerns itself with the flow behavior in a computer-communication network that integrates data and voice classes of traffic. This behavior is analyzed as a queueing problem by modeling nodes and channels and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1974)The ideal method of teaching medical diagnosis would be to have each medical student assigned to an expert diagnostician, the student observing and participating in the diagnostician's thought processes. After each decision ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)The problem addressed in this research is to determine how to efficiently schedule a task system, in which the precedence relation is a tree, on the processors of centralized and distributed-loop computer networks. In ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1974)During recent years, there have been notable changes in the independent property and casualty insurance agency industry. While there is a trend toward larger multi-office agencies, the size of the agencies in business today ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1973)A computer programmer productivity prediction model has been developed. This development was preceded by an investigation of the programmer productivity factors. The research was accomplished in three parts. To identify ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1972)In the process industry, in maintenance work, it is often difficult to realize the full advantage of highly specialized maintenance labor under strict craft lines or work rules in the performance of maintenance tasks. This ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1972)A generalized, user-oriented, nonprocedural programming language has been developed. This language, called FINDER (Find Input Data Errors), is natural, simple to use and comprehensive in the variety of error detection ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)A methodology is presented by which computer empirical performance models can be obtained in a systematic manner. Five levels of computer systems description are found of interest to the performance analyst. A computer ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)The presented language is used for design and prototype implementation of application graphics systems. By usual methods it is not feasible to test a system in the user environment until near completion. Incorporation of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1972)Real-time data processing has the potential for detecting wastes discharged into the environment and for monitoring the effects of the pollutants introduced. With proper monitoring and trend analysis procedures, poor or ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1974)The Directed Search Algorithm performs Iwo-level minimization of switching functions. The identification of prime implicants and the selection of a minimal cover are performed in a synergetic fashion. Purely cyclic situations ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)This research examines the operational problem of dynamic job scheduling in a distributed computer network with functionally similar nodes. A distributed computer network is considered to be an interconnection of computer ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)Two algorithms are presented which dynamically cluster pages of a problem program based on past program behavior (i.e., reference string patterns) in a demand paged virtual memory environment. The objective of these ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)Due to the increasing complexity and the increasing costs of developing and maintaining computer programs, a great need exists for reliable methods of predicting the number of errors to be expected in computer programs. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)It is widely recognized that a specification of a system's intended action is required before the implementation begins. This aids in understanding the concept involved, and increases the likelihood that the implemented ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)At the present time there have been few tools developed to aid in the design of software systems. It is now recognized that more effort in the design phase of the software life cycle pays benefits in time and money in the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)Two algorithms have been developed which provide a loop-free property for adaptive routing procedures utilizing periodic update techniques in distributed control computer-communication networks. The development was preceded ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)The objective of this dissertation is to describe the design considerations for a computer architecture capable of directly executing multiple high order languages (HOL) thereby eleiminating the need to translate source ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)An analysis of planar and nonplanar aspects of program flow is presented. Basic blocks of computer programs are treated as vertices in a directed graph. Nonplanar programs are embedded in multiple planes. Elements of graph ...
-
Neighboring optimal feedback control for dynamic systems with state-variable-inequality constraints (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1972)The second variation of the performance index is derived for optimal control problems which include state-variable-inequality constraints. Necessary conditions for a neighboring-optimal trajectory are then obtained through ...
