    Abstract:
    The concept of a process is often used in connection with operations of parts of a computer system. This thesis discusses processes in terms of their use as representations of a physical object or system. Five primitives are introduced as operators for allowing processes to be run in a piecemeal...

  • Effectiveness of index size reduction techniques

    Creator:
    Jacobson, Bryan L.
    Abstract:
    Index size savings from three techniques are measured. The three techniques are: 1) eliminating common, low information words found in a "stop list" (such as: of, the, at, etc.), 2) truncating terms by eliminating word stems (such as: -s, -ed, -ing, etc.), and 3) simple data compression. Savings are measured...
