The inclusion of expertise in a decision support system for strategic decision making

Creator:

Goul, Kenneth Michael

Abstract:

A decision support system (DSS) incorporating domain expertise guides, tutors, and consults a decision maker in opportunity, problem, and crisis identification activities. The objective for the system is to promote improved decision making. Using an "Independent Groups" design, an experimental study was conducted to investigate the effects of DSS use...

Specification of graphical figures with attribute grammars

Creator:

Ewing, Juanita J.

Abstract:

The need for graphical presentation arises in many disciplines. This thesis describes a prototype software system, the graph creation system, which gives unspecialized users the ability to create and display a variety of graphical figures. Templates for types of graphical figures, and the user interactions for creating instances of a...

Masters Thesis
Analytical and visual tools for robot kinematics

Creator:

Harris-Coppola, Marcia M.

Abstract:

Computer control of a robot arm's motion requires kinematic algorithms for relating the state of a particular arm's joints to the position and orientation of its tool in three-dimensional space. To design such algorithms requires mathematical formulation of the kinematics of the arm. The resulting long, tedious algebraic manipulations suggest...

Masters Thesis
Robustness in a distributed storage server for engineering design data with versions

Creator:

Ecklund, Denise J.

Abstract:

Traditional database management systems have been deemed unsuitable for use in the Computer Aided Engineering environment Object-oriented data models with project management features have been proposed as an alternative. The Distributed Hypothetical Storage System is intended to serve as the underlying storage mechanism for an object-oriented data model. The storage...
