This project is concerned with the optimal distribution of the computation and the data in parallelized Simplex algorithms. Test cases were implemented on a 16-processor Transputer system from INMOS Corporation. By careful consideration of distribution of computations and data, a nearly linear speedup pattern was obtained. The most

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...
An active-object user interface system (AOUIS) is a user interface system implemented as an active object system (AOS). An AOS is a transition-based object-oriented system suitable for the design of various concurrent systems. In an AOUIS, user interface objects, which are sometimes called "widgets", are represented as active user interface...
Parallel software development requires the flexibility to describe algorithms regardless of hardware specification, the ability to accommodate existing applications. and maintainability throughout the software life cycle. We propose the following model to address these issues. Our model incorporates aspects of the object-oriented and large grain data flow programming paradigms, and...
A modern computerized manufacturing control system must manage production data, coordinate control actions, and provide user-friendly interfaces. An actionbase management system (ABMS) is a general software system that facilitates implementations of actionbase systems that provide these capabilities for different applications. Besides an ordinary data management facility, our ABMS includes action...
