Analysis of Multiterm Queries in Partitioned Signature File Environments
(1993-04-01)The concern of this study is the signature files which are used for information storage and retrieval in both formatted and unformatted databases. The analysis combines the concerns of signature extraction and signature ... -
A System Dynamics Model for Automation
(1989-03-01)A system dynamics model is presented in this paper along with the results of simulation of some policies and their consequences automation. The automation seems to be the answer for faster growth and development throughout ... -
Implementation of an Information Retrieval System (ANIRS) with Ranking and Browsing Capabilities
(1992-04-01)This report describes an implementation of a cluster based information retrieval system with statistical ranking facilities, ANIRS. ANIRS uses the vector space model to represent the document database. In this model, the ... -
Tool for Structural Testing of Rule-based System
(1993-05-01)Traditional software testing techinque are useful in testing some components of the expert systems, such as the interference engine. However, there is a need for the development of a testing method that tests the structure ... -
The Graduate Student Advisor (GSA): An Expert System for SAN Graduate Student Advising
(1992-12-01)The Graduate Student Advisor (GSA) is an experimental expert system that advises graduate students in systems analysis. It simulates a faculty advisor in suggesting the schedule of courses a student should take based on ... -
Cell Programming Language Investigation of Extensions For Flow Control and Error Recovery in the Language
(1994-11-01)The Cell Programming Language (CPL) is a simple programming language which allows the students and faculty to easily program a workcell on a personal computer as the workcell controller. However, the original version of ... -
An Expert System Shell Performing the Generic Task of Hierarchical Classification
(1993-01-01)Any expert system shell that performs with the generic task of hierarchical classificiation must deal explicitly with the issues of knowledge representations, control strategies, inductive learning, and ways of handling ... -
A System Dynamics Model For Evaluating Investment Strategies for Agriculture Development
(1987-12-01)This paper presents a System Dynamics model to analyze the consequences of investments in agriculture. The data is taken from the various case studies of agriculture in India and is used as an example in the simulation ... -
A Simulation Game for Software Project Management
(1992-03-01)The software industry is one of the most rapidly growing businesses in our age. Yet, this growth has not been a wellbalanced one. On the one hand, on the technical side, programming languages, programming techniques and ... -
A Simulation of Rapid Evolution: Its Development in the Object-Oriented Paradigm
(1993-01-01)This project centered around an event in population genetics, the modeling necessary to explain it, and the way that the object-oriented paradigm influenced the implementation of the model. This paper is divided into three ... -
A Survey of Traditional and Practical Concurrency Control in Relational Database Management Systems
(1994-12-01)Traditionally, database theory has focused on concepts such as atomicity and serializability, asserting that concurrent transaction management must enable correctness above all else. Textbooks and academic journals detail ... -
The Integration of Software Development Tools
(1987-04-01)The effectiveness of software development tools can be dr creased by their integration (i.e. their cooperation). This paper discusses the problems to be overcome in integration of tools, and a categorization of the degree ... -
Experiments on Incremental Clustering
(1991-08-01)Clustering of very large document databases is essential to reduce the spacehime complexity of information retrieval. The periodic updating of clusters is required due to the dynamic nature of databases. An algorithm for ...
