Creator:: Bae, Myung Mun
Abstract:: Many parallel machines, both commercial and experimental, have been/are being designed with toroidal interconnection networks. For a given number of nodes, the torus has a relatively larger diameter, but better cost/performance tradeoffs, such as higher channel bandwidth, and lower node degree, when compared to the hypercube. Thus, the torus is...

Creator:: Knutson, Charles D.
Abstract:: In this research, we have captured, in pattern form, key elements of programming and design in four programming paradigms (imperative, object-oriented, functional and logical) as well as multiparadigm programming. These pattern sets have formed a foundation upon which we were able to build a deeper understanding of multiparadigm programming and...

Creator:: Ruff, Ritchey Alvin
Abstract:: A key aspect of how we understand the world revolves around an ability to manipulate our surroundings to experiment. From the scientific method through theories of child development, the ability to experiment is deemed critical; however, few studies have been performed to understand the strengths and weaknesses of different experimental...

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...

Creator:: Hackborn, Dianne
Abstract:: As the World Wide Web continues to grow, people clearly want to do much more with it than just publish static pages of text and graphics. While such increased interactivity has traditionally been accomplished through the use of server-side CGI scripts, much recent research on Web browsers has been on...
