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 ... -
The Integration of Software Development Tools
(1987-04-01)The effectiveness of software development tools can be dr creased by their integration (i.e. their cooperation). This paper discusses the problems to be overcome in integration of tools, and a categorization of the degree ... -
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 ... -
Interface-based Programming Assignments and Automatic Grading of Java Programs
(2006-01-01)AutoGrader is a framework developed at Miami University for the automatic grading of student programming assignments written in the Java programming language. AutoGrader leverages the abstract concept of interfaces, brought ... -
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 ... -
A Language for Rule-based Systems
(1988-09-01)Expert systems are proliferating in many situations in which it is important to capture expertise in a computer system. This type of system is useful in situations in which human expertise is expensive or difficult to ... -
Librarian A Multi-User License Manager
(1992-08-01)A common problem in network administration is that there are often more workstations on a network than there are available licensed copies of the various software products. The purpose of the software described herein is ... -
Location-Allocation Analysis of Retailing Using Microsoft Windows
(1992-04-01)The chief objective of this research project is to provide a user-friendly graphical interface for location-allocation analysis of retailing. An application program named Loc is developed with Microsoft Windows. The ... -
A Methodology for the Implementation and Maintenance Of a Data Warehouse
(1995-12-01)A methodology for the implementation and maintenance of a data warehouse is described. The data warehouse forms the basis for a marketing decision support system for use by a large surgical equipment manufacturer and ... -
Node Re-Usability in Structured Hypertext Systems
(1992-08-01)When the size of a graph-based hyperdocument exceeds a certain limit, the graph structure gets complicated and causes navigation and document management problems. A simple solution for this problem is the structuring ofthe ... -
Objects and Types: A Tutorial
(1988-08-01)This paper is a tutorial explaining the concepts that surround abstract data types and object-oriented programming, and the relationships between these groups of concepts. These concepts include types (languagedefied, ... -
"PanaeaMud An Online, Object-oriented Multiple User Interactive Geologic Database Tool"
(1993-12-01)This paper provides an overview of the design, development, and use of the PangaeaMud Database System. Section I gives an introduction to pertinent concepts and discusses previous work in the area. Section I1 is devoted ... -
Periodic orbits in systems with backlash: Stability, classification & observability
(2007-01-01)Backlash, clearance or dead zone is a common feature of many mechanical systems and can undermine the performance of the system, since it has a large influence on the dynamics and control of systems. It can be caused by ... -
A Probabilistic Solution Generator of Good Enough Designs for Simulation
(1999-12-01)We build a probabilistic solution generator using the learning automata theory, which can generate a small set of "good enough" designs with a predetermined high probability. The main goal of our work is to reduce a large ... -
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 ...
