  • Computational geometry package with fast Voronoi diagram algorithm

    Creator:
    Nave, Jay
    Abstract:
    An interactive Computational geometry package was developed for the purpose of experimenting with geometry problems in the Euclidean plane. The package also contains computer graphics functions to display the result. Application independent functions were developed that are both flexible and general enough for creating new geometry experiments as well as...

  • Geometric Computer Graphics Package with applications to Steiner's Problem

    Creator:
    Kim, Youn-su
    Abstract:
    An interactive computer graphics package was developed for the purpose of solving certain geometric problems in the Euclidean plane. The Geometric Graphics Package provides basic application-independent functions for creating arbitrary views of two-dimensional objects and for supporting interaction between the application program and its user. The application program contains a...

  • Resource placement, data rearrangement, and Hamiltonian cycles in torus networks

    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...

  • Similarity inheritance : a model of inheritance for declarative visual programming languages

    Creator:
    Djang, Rebecca W. (Rebecca Walpole)
    Abstract:
    Declarative visual programming languages (VPLs), including spreadsheets, make up a large portion of both research and commercial VPLs. Spreadsheets in particular enjoy a wide audience, including end users. Unfortunately, spreadsheets and most other declarative VPLs still suffer from some of the problems that have been solved in other languages, such...

  • The expressive power and declarative attributes of exception handling in Forms/3

    Creator:
    Agrawal, Anurag
    Abstract:
    Exception handling is a programming language feature that can help increase the reliability of programs. However, not much work has been done on exception handling in visual programming languages. We present an approach for improving the exception handling mechanism in Forms/3, a declarative visual programming language based on the spreadsheet...

  • G, a language based on demand-driven stream evaluations

    Creator:
    Placer, John R.
    Abstract:
    A programming paradigm can be defined as a model or an approach employed in solving a problem. The results of the research described in this document demonstrate that it is possible to unite several different programming paradigms into a single linguistic framework. The imperative, procedural, applicative, lambda-free, relational, logic and...

  • Pattern systems and methodologies for multiparadigm analysis and design

    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...

  • Parallel simplex algorithms and loop spreading

    Creator:
    Wu, Youfeng
    Abstract:
    Parallel solutions for two classes of linear programs are presented. First we parallelized the two-phase revised simplex algorithm and showed that it is possible to get linear improvement in performance. The simplex algorithm is the best known algorithm for solving linear programs, and we claim our result is the best...

  • An empirical study into learning through experimentation

    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...

  • A browser-based tool for designing query interfaces to scientific databases

    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...
