Intelligent Simulation Modeling of a Flexible Manufacturing System with Automated Guided Vehicles
(1994-05-01)Although simulation is a very flexible and cost effective problem solving technique, it has been traditionally limited to building models which are merely descriptive of the system under study. Relatively new approaches ... -
Visual Programming: Concepts and Implementations
(1994-08-01)The computing environment has changed dramatically since the advent of the computer. Enhanced computer graphics and sheer processing power have ushered in a new age of computing. User interfaces have advanced from simple ... -
Integrated Expert System Development Environment With an Automatic Verification Feature: An Application To Grinding Process
(1994-09-01)The concerns of this Master degree project are the implementations of an expert system development environment and an application to manufacturing. The environment is given the name of IDEA (Integrated expert system ... -
Cell Programming Language Investigation of Extensions For Flow Control and Error Recovery in the Language
(1994-11-01)The Cell Programming Language (CPL) is a simple programming language which allows the students and faculty to easily program a workcell on a personal computer as the workcell controller. However, the original version of ... -
Case Tool for Developing Process Control Specifications in Dairy Manufacturing
(1994-12-01)A computer aided software engineering (CASE) tool designed to assist the task of developing the specification of control software for programmable logic controllers for dairy process manufacturing is described. The CASE ... -
A Survey of Traditional and Practical Concurrency Control in Relational Database Management Systems
(1994-12-01)Traditionally, database theory has focused on concepts such as atomicity and serializability, asserting that concurrent transaction management must enable correctness above all else. Textbooks and academic journals detail ... -
Structuring Hypertext Databases Using Hyper-Plate
(1994-12-01)Hypertext is the non-sequential access of information. The hypertext structure is powerful enough to represent informal, semiformal, and formal data. The construction of a hypertext document is a complex and laborious task. ... -
Course/Faculty Scheduler
(1995-04-01)The CFS is designed as an automated aid in the creation of course schedules for Miami University's SAN department. The CFS does not create schedules but provides an environment that will ease the task of creating schedule. ... -
Prototyping in a Centralized vs. Client/Server Environment
(1995-05-01)Client/Sewer technology has become a hot topic. It has changed the way we think about systems development and implementation. In this paper a proposed experimental system is used as a test case to help define whether ... -
"State-based Control Language a State-based, Interrupt-driven, Concurrent Language with Error Detection and Recovery"
(1995-06-01)A programming environment to support interactive, concurrent programming for Miarni University's Flexible Manufacturing System is described. The environment is intended to replace the existing extended cell programming ... -
Graphical User Interface Environment for Developing Workcell Control Programs
(1995-07-01)A forms-based development environment for writing manufacturing workcell programs is described. The environment is a Microsoft Windows application that allows a programmer to describe a sequence of operations and associated ... -
Investigation of Programming Languages for an Automated Manufacturing System
(1995-07-01)This paper is an investigation of alternative programming languages for use in manufacturing control applications. After reviewing several types of languages, two alternative languages for programming the flexible manufacturing ... -
Application of Object-oriented Programming in Simulation: A Simulation of Case Study Using Microsoft Visual C++
(1995-08-01)In this thesis, a prototype simulation environment is introduced. Simulation has always been important for systems analysis. The original idea of this thesis stems from the fact that more flexible simulation programming ... -
Development of the Advanced Bi-Lingual Reading Assistant (ABRA) And Authorizing System (ABRA-AS)
(1995-12-01)Two programs were created to fulfill a contract with the German, Russian, and East Asian Language Department at Miami University. These programs, Advanced Bilingual Reading Assistant (ABRA) and Advanced Bi-lingual Reading ... -
