Estimating software costs from IDEF/CPN designs

Creator:: Bose, Arabinda
Abstract:: Software development has been characterized by severe schedule slippage, cost overrun and the inability of the developer to estimate with acceptable accuracy the resources and schedule required early in the requirements analysis and functional design phase when critical investment decisions must be made. This estimation difficulty has emerged as one...

TableView : a reusable view building block for the ViewBuilder environment

Creator:: Boerner, Dan
Abstract:: Software applications that successfully employ a grap ica user interface to display and manipulate their data are recognized as easy to use and difficult to implement. While the complexity of such applications has increased dramatically, the tools available to application designers have not advanced at the same pace. Current tools...

Adding animation and sound to OSU

Creator:: Parker, Robert B.
Abstract:: Oregon Speedcode Universe (OSU) is an excellent environment for producing rapid prototypes -- unfortunately, it has no facilities for producing animated sequences. Should we make animation sequences inside OSU or import them? Interactive or not? Given the event-driven nature of Macintosh applications, how do we integrate an on-going event like...

The Voice Mail system for Apple Macintosh

Creator:: Bhatawadekar, Rajesh A.
Abstract:: There are lots of mailing systems available for Apple Macintosh computers. But when this research was started, there were no Voice Mail System for the Macintosh. However, a similar system was available for the NeXT machine. So the main goal of this research was to develop a Voice Mail System...

The SS/1 Design Editor : a graphical interface for object oriented parallel programming with Server System/1

Creator:: Sturtevant, Thomas
Abstract:: The Server System/1 (SS/1) Design Editor is a graphical programming tool that provides a simple interface for object oriented parallel programming. Two difficult problems with parallel programming, partitioning, end visualization are addressed by the SS/1 Design Editor. An SS/1 program is structured using object oriented design concepts. This leads to...

Task Grapher : arbitrary machine topology and performance tools environment enhancement

Creator:: Su, Wan-Ju
Abstract:: Task Grapher is a tool for the study of optimal parallel program task scheduling on arbitrary interconnected parallel processors. Given a task graph, this tool can be used to produce several kinds of displays to help users to determine optimal scheduling heuristics and optimal machine topology. Previous versions of Task...

GraphLab : adding graphical functionality to OSU

Creator:: Lim, Mu-Hong
Abstract:: Oregon SpeedCode Universe (OSU) is a rapid prototyping system which automates the production of applications from a description of the user interface. GraphLab is a domain-specific tool which deals with several major problems concerning OSU: (1) limited functionality, that is, lacking graphical capabilities in generated applications, (2) indirect approach to...

The connector : Macintosh to UNIX communication

Creator:: Manohar, M. D.
Abstract:: This research solves the problem of connecting a Macintosh to a Unix machine and presenting the Macintosh Desktop to Unix. Unix Files can be viewed. copied. renamed and opened in the same manner as Macintosh files. Unix programs and shell commands can be defined and attached to Macintosh menus and...

Graphical Editor for DataLab (GEDL) : a graphical editor for specifying and synthesizing abstract data types

Creator:: Kim, Hae-sung
Abstract:: This report describes the Graphical Editor part of DataLab, a visual programming tool for the specification and synthesis of abstract data types (ADTs). DataLab consists of two major components: graphical editor and source code generator. The graphical editor is used to design an abstract data structure and its operations by...

Design and implementation of a HELM user interface

Creator:: Singh, Bopinderjit (Bob), Brown, Carol E., and Lewis, Ted G.
Abstract:: This research paper is limited to the User Interface of the modeling language of HELM (Hierarchical Environment for Linear Modeling). In attempt to better describe the user interface for HELM, some examples and portions of Carol Brown's report are included for ease of reading and a brief overview of the...

Stella Bridge : mathematical modeling with OSU

Creator:: Liao, Chingpin
Abstract:: Stella Bridge is a program for converting mathematical models designed with STELLA For Business into object-based source programs written in Pascal. The input to Stella Bridge is a series of tables1 functions, and initial conditions generated by STELLA For Business. The output from Stella Bridge is a collection of Pascal...

SIMUBASE : using data base capabilities to implement interface free modules for building a simulation management environment

Creator:: Moussaoui, Abdenacer
Abstract:: This is an attempt to deal with interface problems of interacting modules in a large simulation system. In simulation, scientists require routine substitution of modules for comparison of alternative models. These changes have propagating side affects and from a programmer's point of view are essentially system redesigns. This paper presents...

Adding functionality to a vacuous prototype

Creator:: Raghu, Jagannath N.
Abstract:: Oregon Speedcode Universe (OSU) is a rapid prototyping system that provides a total environment for creating applications. Given such a vacuous prototyping system consisting of sequenced user interface objects can domain specific application functions be incorporated? Furthermore, can functionality be added by automatic or semi automatic techniques? This research attempts...

Parallel execution of the Simplex algorithm

Creator:: Choi, Sungwoon
Abstract:: This project is concerned with the optimal distribution of the computation and the data in parallelized Simplex algorithms. Test cases were implemented on a 16-processor Transputer system from INMOS Corporation. By careful consideration of distribution of computations and data, a nearly linear speedup pattern was obtained. The most interesting thing...

A graphical rapid prototyper for the Macintosh

Creator:: Handloser, Fredrick T., III
Abstract:: The task of designing and building the user interface portion of a Macintosh application is radically different than the same task on a more conventional computer with a conventional operating system. Just the fact that it is radically different makes it very time consuming to learn how to program this...

Macman database

Creator:: Al-Dhelaan, Abdullah
Abstract:: The Macintosh revolutionary interface sets it apart from all other personal computers. The Macintosh designers made the Macintosh easy to learn, understand, and use. To ensure correct implementation of their User interface, Apple provided Macintosh programmers with "Inside Macintosh". Inside Macintosh is a complete detailed manual which contains recommendations and...

Resource Type:: Capstone Project

Performance evaluation of computer systems in terms of time delay, throughput, and throughput per unit of cost : single processor system, multiple processor network system, and uniprocessor with time sharing capacity

Creator:: Ramamurti, Sridar
Abstract:: The information processing industry is one of the fastest growing, and most dynamic industries on the scientific as well as business scene, today. Progress in designing and applying computing systems has out raced progress in evaluating their performance. In order to circumvent this trend, there should be a simultaneous development...
