  • The FLEX/REFLEX paradigm and its application to computer program systems

    Creator:
    Colby, Jonathan Axford
    Abstract:
    The FLEX/REFLEX paradigm is applied to the description of a computer program system. The paradigm is shown to be relevant and appropriate to computer program systems and to advantageously display and structure the general hierarchical characteristics of computer program systems. Program systems characterized in the paradigm are described both holistically...

  • Removing inter-minidisk gaps on IBM's VM/CMS operating systems

    Creator:
    Al-Rabeh, Raed H.
    Abstract:
    Disk space fragmentation is the proliferation of small and unusable gaps. This problem is considered within the context of IBM's VM operating system. Facing this problem, researchers resorted to using algorithms based on memory management techniques, such as placement strategies (first-fit, best-fit, and worst-fit). Solutions based on these algorithms do...

  • Active object systems

    Creator:
    Choi, Sungwoon
    Abstract:
    An active object system is a transition-based object-oriented system suitable for the design of various concurrent systems. An AOS consists of a collection of interacting objects, where the behavior of each object is determined by the transition statements provided in the class of that object. A transition statement is a...

  • Taskmaster II, a versatile distributed system for control

    Creator:
    Schaal, Hans-Werner
    Abstract:
    This thesis discusses a special type of a versatile, distributed control system, the Taskmaster II. It includes a detailed specification of a readily realizable Taskmaster system utilizing a layered communication among units, oriented on the ISO OSI seven layer model. The specification was developed from the analysis of previous research...

  • Optimization techniques for time-shared computer systems

    Creator:
    Youssef, Mary Naguib, 1935-
    Abstract:
    The inefficiency of time-shared computer systems compared to batch processing systems is in the time lost in swapping operations. The larger the allocated quantum size, the less swap time is incurred. In order to guard against intolerable response time while lengthening the quantum size, the response time of a common...

  • A query facility for Allegro

    Creator:
    Goodemoot, Richard
    Abstract:
    Allegro is a network database management system being developed at Oregon State University. This project adds a user friendly query facility to the system. The user is presented with pictorial display of the network records and a query interface modeled on the Query-By-Example system. By request the user may be...

  • Development of a meta-model for behavioral model representation and reuse

    Creator:
    Giles, Blake Jensen
    Abstract:
    Behavioral modeling is increasingly an imperative component of system design as the systems under construction become more and more complex. Without behavioral modeling available to the modern designer, design and verification of these systems would be much more laborious. Additionally, with the increasing computational power of today's modeling and simulation...

  • Development and enhancement of AE32000 : an embedded microprocessor core

    Creator:
    Yerubandi, Siva Sai
    Abstract:
    AE32000 microprocessor was developed mainly to address the need for the reduction in the amount of memory accesses in embedded applications. One of the primary goals of a computer architect is the design and construction of machines, that support the efficient execution of the programs that will run on them....

  • Comprehensive support for developing graphical highly interactive user interface systems

    Creator:
    Keh, Huan-chao
    Abstract:
    The general problem of application development of interactive GUI applications has been addressed by toolkits, libraries, user interface management systems, and more recently domain-specific application frameworks. However, the most sophisticated solution offered by frameworks still lacks a number of features which are addressed by this research: 1) limited functionality --...

  • Leveraging Generated Tests

    Creator:
    Alipour, Mohammad Amin
    Abstract:
    The main goal of automated test generation is to improve the reliability of a program by exposing faults to developers. To this end, testing should cover the largest possible portion of the program given a test budget (i.e., time and resources) as frequently as possible. Coverage of a program entity...
