Toward A Normative Computer-Aided Contingency Planning Protocol, Peter H. Aiken Jan 1984

Toward A Normative Computer-Aided Contingency Planning Protocol, Peter H. Aiken

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis effort is an investigation into the subject of contingency planning.

Increases in the number of organizations operating in "turbulent environments" have highlighted deficiencies in planning methodologies which attempt to base continued organizational survival upon a single course of action. In these instances, organizations experience an increase in the number of variables and possible events for which they must be prepared. Traditional contingency planning efforts attempt to prepare the organization for the occurrence of events that are foreseen deviations from "the master plan". When operating in turbulent environments, organizations must plan to move quickly through a series of differing …


A Comparison Of Processor Technologies, Eddie R. Wachter Jan 1983

A Comparison Of Processor Technologies, Eddie R. Wachter

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this paper is to present a discussion of the technology implementation and design of four very high performance mainframe computer systems. The systems evaluated are:

Amdahl 580 Series

CDC 170 Series 800

IBM 308x Series

Univac 1100/90 Series

Included in this evaluation is a survey of the technology used, its characteristics, packaging and performance. Each system component is evaluated on the basis of design philosophy, technology, and the total system design with regards to reliability, availability, and performance.


Software Simulation Of The D17b Computer, Bruce Chatterton Mar 1972

Software Simulation Of The D17b Computer, Bruce Chatterton

Theses and Dissertations

A software program has been written which simulates the functions of the Minuteman D17B computer at the register transfer level. The simulation program is written in the FORTRAN Extended language to be used on the Intercom System (teletype) of a CDC 6600 computer system. The simulation program consists of a main program and eight subroutines. A programming language for the D17B simulation was formed which contains numbers and load codes, switches, and miscellaneous commands. Example programs run on the simulated computer have been included to show the types of output available.
