Implications of an open, extensible, and distributed hypermedia information system architecture for interprocess communication subsystem design
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The properties of openness and extensibility have been characterized as necessary for advanced hypermedia system architectures. The hypothesis in this work was that the design of the interprocess communication subsystem ...
The extended DQDB protocol for real time systems
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The objectives of this thesis are to study the DQDB protocol and to extend it for use in a hard real-time environment. The Distributed Queue Dual Bus (DQDB) protocol is the IEEE 802.6 Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) ...
Partitioning an arbitrary architecture
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
In parallel computers, an efficient allocation strategy is one of the most important task to optimize system utilization. A good processor allocation strategy is the one that efficiently selects a subset of the system such ...
Self-stabilizing clock phase synchronization in a distributed ring
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
This thesis deals with the synchronization of phases of digital clocks or periodic events in a distributed system which has a ring topology. The clocks considered are bounded and synchronous i.e., run at the same rate. And ...
Efficient implementation of hough transform on multiprocessors
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The Hough Transform (HT) is known to be a powerful technique in shape recognition and motion analysis. On shared-memory multi-processors, Image Partitioning and Parameter Partitioning are data partitioning techniques which ...
Simulation and animation of a slinky
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Animations of complex objects using traditional techniques often lack the dynamic integrity needed to produce realistic natural motion. Recently, dynamic simulation has been used to incorporate not only the spatial ...
Design, implementation, and benchmarking of a file manager for a relational database management system on a raw UNIX disk
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The file management component of a database management system (DBMS) has to be tailor designed to meet the performance demands of large database applications. The operating system (OS) file systems are typically not suitable ...
Application of functional learning to ATPG and design verification for combinational circuits
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Recently, learning-based techniques have been proposed as an efficient alternative to the traditional branch-and-bound techniques for test generation. The learning techniques have been shown to be extremely effective in ...
Graph algorithms experimentation facility
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
We provide a facility to experiment with graph algorithms. The facility is implemented as a client to XAGE, a software environment developed under the direction of Dr. James Abello. XAGE allows a user to visually animate ...
Using connectionist models to assess programmers' expertise
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
A programmer can be classified as a novice or an expert according to the performance exhibited in a programming related task. The objective of this thesis is to show that a neural network can be used to model the classification ...
