The integration of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) technology into the current global internetwork provides great opportunity as weJl as substantial engineering challenges. The Network for Engineering Research in Oregon (NERO) ATM network provides an order of magnitude increase in available bandwidth in local area networks and two orders of magnitude...
A structural active-object system (SAOS) is a transition-based object-oriented system suitable for the design of various concurrent systems. A SAOS consists of a collection of interacting structural active objects (SAOs) whose behaviors are determined by the transition statements provided in their class definitions. Furthermore, SAOs can be structurally and hierarchically...
To achieve the maximum benefits of a flexible manufacturing system (FMS), its effective monitoring is crucial. The user's ability to interpret the actions of an FMS is significantly enhanced by effective monitoring provided by a well-designed graphical user interface (GUI). The Active-Object User-Interface Management System (AOUIMS) is a graphical user...
Structural active-object systems (SAOSs) are transition-based object-oriented systems suitable as frameworks of various concurrent systems. AOSs are constructed from their component active objects by structural and hierarchical object composition (SHOC) like hardware systems. 1n this report, we demonstrate that the SAOS approach is effective in implementing a graphical editor. The...
Since its introduction in 1995 by Sun Microsystems, the Java programming language has been widely accepted by the software development community. Besides being a natural fit for Internet and World Wide Web (WWW) based applications, Java is also being used in other diverse application areas due to its simplicity, reduced...
A structural active-object systems (SAOS) is a, transition-based object-oriented system consisting of a collection of interacting structural active objects (SAOs), which can be structurally and hierarchically composed from their component SAOs. The behaviors of SAOs are determined by the transition statements provided in their class definitions. Various concurrent systems such...
The purpose of this project is to study the benefit at large parking lots having shuttle busses by providing a system that dynamically routes a shuttle. The shuttle route will be set by the placement of the travelers returning from the terminal. A parking space is assigned to the incoming...
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...
With the strong shift toward network-centric cluster-computing workload management has become increasingly important in both industrial and academic environments. To fully harness the distributed computing resources of the 32 PC's in our department, I developed a workload monitoring system together with a few utilities for users to submit either sequential...
