Ads Formal Semantics, Takayuki Kimura
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
Abstract Database System (ADS) is a data model developed for an enduring medical information system where frequent changes in the conceptual schema are anticipated and multi-level abstraction is required. The mechanism of abstraction in ADS is based on the abstraction operator of the lamba calculus. The formal semantics of a subset of the ADS model is presented using the denotational specification method.
Specification Of Synchronizing Processes, Krithivasan Ramamritham, Robert M. Keller
Specification Of Synchronizing Processes, Krithivasan Ramamritham, Robert M. Keller
All HMC Faculty Publications and Research
The formalism of temporal logic has been suggested to be an appropriate tool for expressing the semantics of concurrent programs. This paper is concerned with the application of temporal logic to the specification of factors affecting the synchronization of concurrent processes. Towards this end, we first introduce a model for synchronization and axiomatize its behavior. SYSL, a very high-level language for specifying synchronization properties, is then described. It is designed using the primitives of temporal logic and features constructs to express properties that affect synchronization in a fairly natural and modular fashion. Since the statements in the language have intuitive …

Robotic Realities: Near Term Prospects And Problems, Robert U. Ayres, Steven M. Miller
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Industrial robots are automation, but with a difference. Other machine tools are extensions of human capabilities, while robots are seen mainly as substitutes for human workers. Robots will find most of their industrial applications during the next decade or two in the metal-working sectors, where they will begin to displace semiskilled machine operatives in medium to large batch production operations. They cannot substitute for skilled machinists or other workers doing nonroutine jobs, or specialized, dedicated hard automation used in mass production. The current generation of robots, lacking sensory data processing and interpretation capabilities, can potentially replace up to 1.3 million …

Cost-Benefit Analysis Of Computer Systems In Community Hospital Food Service, Beverly Kittle
Cost-Benefit Analysis Of Computer Systems In Community Hospital Food Service, Beverly Kittle
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Cost containment has always been a major concern to managers. Therefore, any system which decreases costs by reducing labor time is given serious evaluation.
A five week comparison was made between financial record keeping by the manual method and by the computerized method. A continuous time study was utilized to make this comparison.
Over the five weeks, an average overall time savings of 245 minutes for the computerized versus the manual method was observed. The net savings to the institution was 223 minutes per week which translates to approximately $140.00 per month over a 5 year period.
The rapid payback …

An Optimal Design Of Relational Data Model, Pissamai Amatayakul
An Optimal Design Of Relational Data Model, Pissamai Amatayakul
Masters Theses
The objective of this study was to propose a design methodology to support a designed in mapping a conceptual model to a logical model. The system was created as a semiinteractive software to produce an optimal relational data model for a given database. The software was developed by combining a well known normalization method from a theory of relational data model which was presented by Codd and the ideas of new normal form which were presented recently by many researchers in the field of database design. The complete description of data objects and their associations are initially defined as a …
A Uniform System For Data Base Directories, Karl Chang
A Uniform System For Data Base Directories, Karl Chang
Masters Theses
The objective of this study is to provide an efficient uniform system for data base directories, so that every file in the data base will have the same type of efficient directory. Data base directories will then be uniformly generated, updated and maintained.
The uniform system which is developed here can handle not only discrete attributes, but also range attributes. For the range attributes, it provides the uniform ranges (i.e., a set of ranges such that the records are distributed uniformly between ranges.)
In this thesis, the design and implementation of the hybrid B-plus tree and inverted files which is …
Parameter Optimization Using A Hierarchical System Of Learning Automata, Brian T. Mitchell
Parameter Optimization Using A Hierarchical System Of Learning Automata, Brian T. Mitchell
Dissertations
Many problems in adaptive control, pattern recognition, filtering, identification, and artificial intelligence can be viewed as parameter optimization problems. The learning automation approach to these problems has two distinct advantages over the classic hill climbing methods: (1) the parameter space need not be metric and (2) a global rather than local optimum can be found. Unfortunately, these advantages do not come without corresponding difficulties, namely the problem of high dimensionality. A hierarchical system of learning automata has been used to reduce this problem somewhat, but inefficiencies still remain since the current hierarchical system was balanced and static hierarchical learning automaton …

Orthodontic Information Systems : A Developmental Study, Gary D. Sheldon
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The intent of this study was to design and implement a computer-based orthodontic system providing an integrated information environment throughout the entire patient treatment process.
Total system integration was achieved by restructuring the entire information gathering process. A complete, evaluation of patient diagnosis and treatment evaluation procedures established five major information categories and a critical information list for proper patient management. Information organization was outlined to provide a logical progression in the information gathering process and patient chart forms were designed to implement this. Defining the computer system's performance identified three functions as follows: 1) entry and editing of individual …
Mathematics: The Loss Of Certainty, Calvin Jongsma
Mathematics: The Loss Of Certainty, Calvin Jongsma
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1983
Morris Kline was a contentious mathematician and author, documenting (as he saw it) both the deficiencies of mid-twentieth-century reformist trends in mathematics education and formalist views of the foundations (and practice) of mathematics. This brief introduction to a discussion of Kline's 1980 book and its mixed reception by the mathematics community provides a context for assessing his ideas as part of his overall views on the nature of mathematics.

The Activitiy And Application Of Mathematics, R. S. D. Thomas
The Activitiy And Application Of Mathematics, R. S. D. Thomas
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1983
There are four so-called philosophies of mathematics that I regard as totally discredited, formalism, intuitionism, logicism, and Platonism. It is a common feature of the ism philosophies of mathematics that they do not take the application of mathematics very seriously. This paper examines a view of mathematics that takes applications seriously.
Using Mathematical Concepts To Illustrate Scriptural And Spiritual Ideas, Robert Brabenec
Using Mathematical Concepts To Illustrate Scriptural And Spiritual Ideas, Robert Brabenec
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1983
Christian mathematics faculty and students respond in differing ways to this idea of applying mathematics to Scripture, and vice-versa. Mathematics is man-made, while Scripture is inspired by God, so they should be disjoint entities. However, it is well known that the Scripture used analogies of familiar human objects and ideas in order to explain spiritual ideas. This paper discusses various mathematical concepts and how they illustrate Scriptural and spiritual ideas.
