Seed-Lab, is a software system for managing seed laboratory information. It was developed at the Oregon State University Seed Testing Laboratory. Seed-Lab was built around a database development package Revelation, which provides its own programming language.
Seed-Lab shields the user from the complexities of database management by supporting menu driven...
Authentication is a means of developing an electronic signature that works like a written signature. It assumes that your data is publicly known but nevertheless ensures that the message is not tampered with and that you have an audit trail.
This project discusses the techniques and concepts used to design...
The Vehicle Preventative Maintenance System (VPMS) is a 4GL application system that keep track of information required for vehicle maintenance. It can be used to schedule routine vehicle maintenance, and to produce complete and accurate vehicle cost reports, enabling its users to optimize vehicle maintenance. In this report, after describing...
This paper describes the design and implementation of
"A multiprocessor node for communication and control"
(MPCC). MPCC is a high speed, high performance local area
network capable of performing real time control tasks. This
is achieved by the concurrent operation of two 8051
microcontrollers, a dual port RAM and the...
A remote job control system for the DRAFT machine is developed. It provides the user a convenient remote computing environment with facilities for job submission, a means of servicing the job queue on a first-come-first-serve basis, and usage reporting. It provides a logging facility to keep track of the user's...
This report presents a graphical tool for implementation of the scheduling heuristics provided by Kruatrachue. The input of scheduling is a task graph and the output is a schedule in the form of a Gantt chart. The implemented scheduling heuristics are: 1) Hu's HLF (highest level first) algorithm. 2) Yu's...
The Control-Oriented Local Area Network (COLAN) is a
distributed control system for a series of networked
microcontrollers, which has been under development at Oregon
State University since 1986. A reliable master controller, functioning
both as a task scheduler and as a network controller, is
required to allow users to perform...
The processor allocation in an n-dimensional hypercube multiprocessor using buddy strategy, gray code strategy, and a new strategy is implemented on Macintosh. Our implementations show that when processor relinquishment is not considered (i.e. static allocation), all these strategies are optimal in the sense that each incoming request sequence is always...
In this paper we outline an implementation of Linda on a network of Unix workstations. A literature survey was done to gain a better perspective on state of the art and to learn from the experiences of other implementations. The tuple space which is central to the Linda system is...
The problem addressed in this paper is that of usability of the Petri Net Editor used to create applications in the Objex framework. This editor puts a lot of burden on the user, in that the user needs to remember all the GUI resources previously created for the application, has...
