A Hierarchical Assembly Planning system
(1994)
This dissertation addresses the problem of generating feasible assembly sequences for a mechanical product from a description of it in a fundamentally new way. An operation is a motion to bring together two subassemblies ...
A model for reengineering legacy software systems to object oriented systems
(1994)
Object-oriented methodology facilitates the development and maintenance of large complex software systems. The migration of existing systems to object-oriented technology is becoming increasingly important. In this ...
Reconfigurable computer systems for wafer scale integration
(1994)
This dissertation present new approaches for testing and reconfiguring several types of wafer-scale integration computer systems. Chapter II examines a fault tolerant scheme for two-dimensional arrays of processors which ...
Nondeterminism and optimization
(1994)
The study of the power of nondeterminism is central to complexity theory. However, it remains unclear how nondeterminism can be used to characterize computational optimization problems. In this dissertation, a "Guess-then- ...
An outline view model for interacting with structured information systems
(1994)
This research describes a user interface model for interacting with structured information systems based on outline views. An outline view is a form of hierarchically organized hypertext whereby information can be expanded ...
Resource management in high-speed asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks
(1994)
This research develops resource management schemes for supporting guaranteed communication services in ATM broadband networks. Since a broadband network has a high bandwidth-delay product, preventive resource managem ent ...
Design and analysis of buffered Multistage Interconnection Networks
(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 ...
Reconfiguration algorithms for fault tolerance in hypercubes
(1994)
Recently, a cost-effective and feasible approach to supercomputing by connecting a large number of processors has been offered by hypercube multicomputers. However, a major drawback of such systems is that a single processor ...
