Computer Simulation Results from System Dynamics Model of Agriculture System
(1988-01-01)This paper discusses the results of simulation from an extensive System Dynamics model of agriculture system. A computer simulation model is written in Dynamo with System Dynamics techniques to study the complex agriculture ... -
Effect of Tunable Indexing on Term Distribution and Cluster-based Information Retrieval Performance
(1997-01-01)The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of tunable indexing on the structure and information retrieval performance of a clustered document database. The generation of all cluster structures and calculation ... -
Course/Faculty Scheduler
(1995-04-01)The CFS is designed as an automated aid in the creation of course schedules for Miami University's SAN department. The CFS does not create schedules but provides an environment that will ease the task of creating schedule. ... -
Prototyping in a Centralized vs. Client/Server Environment
(1995-05-01)Client/Sewer technology has become a hot topic. It has changed the way we think about systems development and implementation. In this paper a proposed experimental system is used as a test case to help define whether ... -
Structuring Hypertext Databases Using Hyper-Plate
(1994-12-01)Hypertext is the non-sequential access of information. The hypertext structure is powerful enough to represent informal, semiformal, and formal data. The construction of a hypertext document is a complex and laborious task. ... -
Librarian A Multi-User License Manager
(1992-08-01)A common problem in network administration is that there are often more workstations on a network than there are available licensed copies of the various software products. The purpose of the software described herein is ... -

(1996-04-01)The flexible manufacturing cell in the manufacturing engineering department's computer integrated manufacturing systems lab is used to study manufacturing processes. A loop conveyor, an automated storage and retrieval ... -
Intelligent Simulation Modeling of a Flexible Manufacturing System with Automated Guided Vehicles
(1994-05-01)Although simulation is a very flexible and cost effective problem solving technique, it has been traditionally limited to building models which are merely descriptive of the system under study. Relatively new approaches ... -
Experiments on the Efficiency of Cluster Searches
(1991-03-01)The efficiency of various cluster based retrieval (CBR) strategies is analyzed. The possibility of combining CBR and inverted index search (11s) is investigated. A method for combining the two approaches is proposed and ... -
Evaluating Market Conditions: A simplified Approach for Analyzing Stock Price Activity
(2003-05-01)To simplify the process of determining which actions an investor should take, all application that provides a list of trade to be placed each morning was designed. Because the application gives signals on the long and the ... -
A Language for Rule-based Systems
(1988-09-01)Expert systems are proliferating in many situations in which it is important to capture expertise in a computer system. This type of system is useful in situations in which human expertise is expensive or difficult to ... -
Degree-constrained Minimum Latency Trees are APX-Hard
(2008-03-25)When transmitting data from a single source to many recipients, it is often desirable to use some recipients of the stream to re-broadcast the stream to other users. In such multicast systems each client may be used as a ... -
Signature Files: An Integrated Access Method for Formatted and Unformatted Databases
(1993-05-01)The signature file approach is one of the most powerful information storage and retrieval techniques which is used for finding the data objects that are relevant to the user queries. The main idea of all signature based ... -
