A Simple System Dynamics Model For the Wildlife and Fish Resource
(1987-08-01)This research aims to build a dynamic model to describe the major relationships within the "Wildlife and Fish" element of the Forest Service. Our purpose is to capture the major relationships so that the model is capable ... -
Visual Depiction of Decision Statements: What is Best for Programmers and Non-programmers
(1997-03-01)This paper reports the results of two experiments investigating differences in comprehensibility of textual and graphical notations for representing decision statements. The first experiment was a replication of a prior ... -
Objects and Types: A Tutorial
(1988-08-01)This paper is a tutorial explaining the concepts that surround abstract data types and object-oriented programming, and the relationships between these groups of concepts. These concepts include types (languagedefied, ... -
Experimental Evaluation of the Cleanroom Software Development Method
(1992-03-01)The field of software engineering is evolving as various new techniques, languages, paradigms, process models, methodologies, metrics etc., are constantly being developed, used and improved. In the past, several empirical ... -
User Interface Implementation for Network License Management System

"State-based Control Language a State-based, Interrupt-driven, Concurrent Language with Error Detection and Recovery"
(1995-06-01)A programming environment to support interactive, concurrent programming for Miarni University's Flexible Manufacturing System is described. The environment is intended to replace the existing extended cell programming ... -
A Probabilistic Solution Generator of Good Enough Designs for Simulation
(1999-12-01)We build a probabilistic solution generator using the learning automata theory, which can generate a small set of "good enough" designs with a predetermined high probability. The main goal of our work is to reduce a large ... -
Applying an Operational Formal Method to Safety-Critical Systems
(1996-11-01)Despite thirty years of study by the academic community, industry has not embraced the systematic usage of formal methods. To address this concern, a formal method is proposed which possesses many of the qualities that ... -
