Forms are an easy-to-use interface to access a database, including a remote database on the Internet. An entity-relationship (ER} diagram, which is a pictorial representation of a database schema, is widely used in designing a database. A class diagram, which shows set of classes, relationships among them, and associations, are...
We present a model for a distributed virtual market place that can be constructed on the Internet to support selling and buying requests, such as those found as classified advertisements. One requirement for a transaction to take place in the virtual market place is that a sell request and a...
Little Smalltalk is a small, reasonably fast, easy-to-understand, easy-to-modify Smalltalk system. The system was originally developed in 1984 as a part of an implementation project to develop a minimal Smalltalk system, closely resembling Smalltalk-80. The system was developed in C. The current project is an experiment to port the Little...
We have developed SearchPak, a machine independent parallel searching tool on shared and distributed memory machines. It can be used for combinatorial optimization problems and OR-parallel computations as well. Both depth-first and best-first search of the state space can be performed using the SearchPak. With SearchPak, a user just provides...
An automated library system should be capable of providing at least all of the information and capabilities of existing manual catalogs. In addition, an automated system must provide the capability of manipulating that information to produce varying types of reports and statistics. This paper briefly:
- describes historical representations of...
In this report, we describe an implementation of a prototype information resources management system for the synthesis and integration project of the forest response program using a 4GL application development system ACCELL. Our system is called Prototype Virtual Data Management System (PVDMS). ACCELL is a software package that combines a...
