We discuss the implementation of Rhoda, our Linda-like Tuple Space server which
runs under the Helios operating system. The approach analyses and partitions tuple
space at compile time in order to reduce the run time- ...
This paper describes SuperText, a computer program designed to support
productive expository writing processes among students at a distance teaching
university . Being able to write well is an important communication ...
Compiler writing techniques have undergone a number of major revisions over the past
forty years. The introduction of object-oriented design and implementation techniques promises to improve the quality of compilers, while ...
The associative network presents a practical and efficient means for the storage and retrieval of data. Although the recall abilities of single-layer associative memories have been well researched[3], little investigation ...
I/O Subsystem performance is one of the key components that impact the business operations of today's organisations. The objective of this paper is to provide a detailed performance evaluation of various storage architectures ...
People work together to solve a wide variety of problems using different forms of
cooperation for each class of problem. Modern technology is complex, and therefore it is unusual for an individual to attempt the development ...
The rapidly changing·end-user computing environment requires an informed recipient of information who can play an active role in the design of information systems to capture. retrieve and interpret data [6). We need our ...
Any company that is involved in manufacturing, must be able to tell the exact difference
between any two products of the same family. This is necessary to enable such a company to support these products during the total ...
The fundamental concept of the Pythagorean Brotherhood "All things are numbers"
could easily be implemented in processing textual data considered not only from a linguistic point of view but also as a quantity of numbers. ...
Software quality assurance for object-oriented information systems development is the issue dealt with here. A Quality Assurance Reference Model is proposed based on the Revised Spiral Life Cycle Model. The Quality Assurance ...
Traditionally, Technikon training was focused on career-oriented education and training. This has changed over the last few years and research has started to play a major role in Technikon education. This additional objective ...
The project success depends to a large degree on communication and coordination among team members. But project management systems and models do not support cooperative group work. Their basic philosophy is rather hierarchical ...
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been proven to be successful general machine
learning techniques for, amongst others, pattern recognition and classification. Realworld
problems in agriculture (soybean, tea), ...
In this extended abstract, we present a brief description of the tutorial. The primary
reference material, a book and some software (1] , is available for ftp from the Eindhoven University of Technology.
In this tutorial, ...
Systems development methods or software methodologies have evolved
considerably over the past few years. This development has tended to fall into two main areas: Software Engineering and Human Computer Interaction (HCI). ...
The book uses storytelling as teaching, with exclusive use of active tense, local examples a problem-driven approach rather than a product-driven approach. For example, magnetic tape principles are explained in ...
This paper discusses the development and implementation of a set of measures which
support a Total Quality Management (TOM) process in a Systems Development environment. This process is taking place in the background of ...
The real-time services offered by modern high speed networks are complex enough to
prompt a new look at how these services should be paid for. In this article, it is motivated that paying for the use of guaranteed services ...
The ability to learn from observations and to modify our understanding of the world based on experience is an essential aspect of intelligent behavior. Machine learning has thus become an important sub-area of artificial ...
