Object-Oriented Design And Implementation Of A Parallel Ada Simulation System, James T. Belford
Object-Oriented Design And Implementation Of A Parallel Ada Simulation System, James T. Belford
Theses and Dissertations
Simulations which model the behavior real world entities are often large and complex, and require frequent changes to the configuration. This research effort examines the benefits of using object-oriented techniques to develop a distributed simulation environment which supports modularity, modifiability, and portability. The components of the Parallel Discrete Event Simulation PDES environment are identified and modeled using the Rumbaugh modeling technique. From the model, a prototype implementation of a Parallel Ada Simulation Environment PASE is accomplished using Classic Ada. A system interface for the Intel ipsc2 Hypercube was developed to illustrate the concepts of modularity and portability. In addition, the …
Toward Reusable Graphics Components In Ada, Sam-Kyu Lim
Toward Reusable Graphics Components In Ada, Sam-Kyu Lim
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis demonstrates and illustrates a way of developing reusable graphics software components in Ada associated with a C++/C library. The work was carried out using object-oriented software development techniques that were used to analyze, design and implement a partial flight simulator. The objective of this thesis was to present a way of building reusable software components with Ada in a graphics application environment. An object-oriented approach was taken in the development of a set of reusable graphics software components for a flight simulator domain. A selection of a set of reusable software components came from domain analysis. These components …
Object-Oriented Database Access From Ada, Li Chou
Object-Oriented Database Access From Ada, Li Chou
Theses and Dissertations
Ada embodies many modern software engineering principles, namely, modifiability, efficiency, reliability, and understandability. Its powerful data abstraction allows programmers to easily model objects in the real world. A database management system (DBMS) provides long term storage. It provides a convenient and efficient environment to manipulate data. Currently, with Ada access to a DBMS is typically done through the use of a language extension and a preprocessor to convert the extensions to library calls appropriate for the DBMS. However, these systems are limited on more complex applications, such as computer-aided engineering design. Object-oriented design (OOD) is a new way of thinking …
