  • Using the Java component model for scientific information management

    Creator:
    Sankaran, Anand
    Abstract:
    We developed a scientific information management system to facilitate remote access and analysis of earth and space science data, using the Component Model of software development provided by the Java language. The data sets are part of the Earth Observing. System project, being carried out at the College of Oceanic...

  • Duality and the bounded-buffer problem

    Creator:
    James, Mark Allen
    Abstract:
    The paper, "On the Duality of Operating System Structures," by Lauer and Needham [21], claims that operating systems can be modeled as procedure-oriented or message-oriented, and that the two models are duals of each other. Duality, in this case, means that the models are logically and functionally equivalent, and have...

  • A browser-based tool for designing query interfaces to scientific databases

    Creator:
    Newsome, Mark Ronald, 1960-
    Abstract:
    Scientists in the biological sciences need to retrieve information from a variety of data collections, traditionally maintained in SQL databases, in order to conduct research. Because current assistant tools are designed primarily for business and financial users, scientists have been forced to use the notoriously difficult command-line SQL interface, supplied...

  • Empirical studies of a WYSIWYT testing methodology

    Creator:
    Rothermel, Karen J.
    Abstract:
    Is it possible to achieve some of the benefits of formal testing within the informal programming conventions of the spreadsheet paradigm? We investigate an approach that attempts to do so via the development of a testing methodology for this paradigm. The "What You See Is What You Test" (WYSIWYT) methodology...

  • Asmodeus - a daemon servant for the system administrator

    Creator:
    Epstein, Mark E., Vandetta, Curt, and Sechrest, John
    Abstract:
    Asmodeus is a distributed database system which simplifies the tasks of the Unix systems administrator. Using simple commands to the Asmodeus command interface, the systems administrator can perform many tedious operations over a large network of machines. The system uses a reliable datagram socket connection for all of its communication....

  • PC++ : an extension of C++ for parallel programming

    Creator:
    Bae, Myungmun
    Abstract:
    Understanding of techniques that can be used to develop software for various parallel machines has not fully matched the dramatic progress in hardware in recent years. Most parallel programming techniques have been closely tied to specific hardware. Different machines have different primitives and architectures. Programming and porting an application with...

  • Empirical studies of a spreadsheet maintenance experiment

    Creator:
    Krishna, Vijay B.
    Abstract:
    Spreadsheet language programs, which include commercial spreadsheets, are among the most common form of software in use today. Unlike more "traditional" forms of software however, spreadsheet language programs are created and maintained by end-users with little or no programming experience. As a result, a high percentage of these programs contain...

  • End-user assertions in forms/3 : an empirical study

    Creator:
    Wallace, Christine A.
    Abstract:
    Spreadsheets are arguably the most widely used programming language in use today, yet spreadsheets commonly contain errors. Research shows that regardless of the experience of the end user, an alarming number of spreadsheets contain errors (91% in recent field audits). Most spreadsheets are created by end users with little or...

  • Critique : a prototype style critic for FORTRAN

    Creator:
    Luh, Shan
    Abstract:
    Programming style is important for program understanding in programming tasks such as maintenance. testing, and debugging. The goal of programming style is to improve the readability of the source program without adversely affecting its performance. Critique is a FORTRAN source program style critic which analyzes the source program and outputs...
