This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 693 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the papers presented at the Fifth International Workshop on Database Machines. The papers cover a wide spectrum of topics on Database Machines and Knowledge Base Machines. Reports of major projects, ECRC, MCC, and ICOT are included. Topics on DBM cover new database machine architectures based on vector processing and hypercube parallel processing, VLSI oriented architecture, filter processor, sorting machine, concurrency control mechanism for DBM, main memory database, interconnection network for DBM, and performance evaluation. In this workshop much more attention was given to knowledge base management as compared to the previous four workshops. Many papers discuss deductive database processing. Architectures for semantic network, prolog, and production system were also proposed. We would like to express our deep thanks to all those who contributed to the success of the workshop. We would also like to express our apprecia tion for the valuable suggestions given to us by Prof. D. K. Hsiao, Prof. D.
Download or read book Software Re use Utrecht 1989 written by Liesbeth M. Dusink and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In November 1989 we organised a workshop on software re-use, inviting members of the leading research teams across Europe. In retrospect, we realise that we missed a few research teams out, but nevertheless we did have a very fruitful workshop. This book is the outcome of that meeting. Prior to the workshop, teams submitted short position papers, and at the workshop made very short presentations of these. Most of the time was spent in four parallel sessions, and the reports of these sessions are given in Chapter 2. After the workshop we invited the attendees to revise and resubmit their papers in the light of the workshop, and it is these updated papers that appear in Chapter 4 onwards. The papers are in alphabetical order of first author. To complete this text we have added an introduction to software re-use as a first chapter-this was prepared by Liesbeth Dusink. We have added a comprehensive bibliography as Chapter 3, merging the bibliographies accumulated at Delft and at Brunei. To be able to organise the workshop we were sponsored by SERC, the Software Engineering Research Centre in Utrecht, Netherlands.

Download or read book Structured Documents written by J. André and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1989-03-23 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the structured representation of documents in computer document preparation systems. Using this approach to documents allows their logical structure to be represented both descriptively and analytically. Papers from major authorities in the field have been selected to form a unified whole. The book presents various models that can be used for representing documents within electronic publishing software and shows the advantages that can be drawn from a high level representation. Viewpoints of the typographer, linguist, and computer scientist are provided.
Download or read book Software Reuse written by Bernard Coulange and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Software Reuse is a state of the art book concerning all aspects of software reuse. It does away with the hype and shows the reality. Different techniques are presented which enable software reuse and the author demonstrates why object-oriented methods are better for reuse than other approaches. The book details the different factors to take into account when managing reusable components: characterisation, identification, building, verification, storage, search, adaptation, maintenance and evolution. Comparisons and description of various types of companies that could benefit from applying reuse techniques are included outlining, amongst other things, increased profitability and likely problems that might arise from the purchase and selling of reuse tools and components. Based on a real experience of software reuse in a company with a bibliography of more than 200 references provided, this book is a 'must have' for all those working in the software reuse field.

Download or read book The SPARC Technical Papers written by Ben J. Catanzaro and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the SPARC (Scalable Processor ARChitecture) architecture and system software as the underlying foundation, Sun Microsys terns is delivering a new model of computing-easy workgroup computing-to enhance the way people work, automating processes across groups, departments, and teams locally and globally. Sun and a large and growing number of companies in the computer industry have embarked on a new approach to meet the needs of computer users and system developers in the 1990s. Originated by Sun, the approach targets users who need a range of compatible computer systems with a variety of application soft ware and want the option to buy those systems from a choice of vendors. The approach also meets the needs of system developers to be part of a broad, growing market of compatible systems and software-developers who need to design products quickly and cost-effecti vel y. The SPARe approach ensures that computer systems can be easy to use for all classes of users and members of the workgroup, end users, system administrators, and software developers. For the end user, the SPARC technologies facilitate system set-up and the daily use of various applications. For the system administrator supporting the computer installation, setting up and monitoring the network are easier. For the software developer, there are ad vanced development tools and support. Furthermore, the features of the SPARC hardware and software technologies ensure that SPARC systems and applications play an important role in the years to come.
Download or read book Performance Resources and Complexity written by Shing Kong and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: VLSI design in general-microprocessor design in particular-has been treated more like an art than a science in the past. The goal of this thesis is to explain the science of VLSI design to someone who wants to build a microprocessor. This can be accomplished by providing a quantitative way to evaluate, and a systematic approach to design, a microprocessor. Resources and complexity are two separate ways a microprocessor designer can pay for performance. The microprocessor designer must evaluate the performance, resources, and complexity tradeoffs quantitatively. In this thesis, the SPUR (which stands for Symbolic Processing Using RISC Machines) CPU micro- architecture is used as example to show how performance, resources, and complexity tradeoffs can be evaluated quantitatively. A systematic approach to microarchitectual design is then developed based on the SPUR CPU design experience. The SPUR CPU is implemented in 1.6um, double layer metal, CMOS technology. It consists of 115,000 transistors, runs at 100ns, and consumes 0.8W of power. Important features of the SPUR CPU are: internal instruction cache; a four-stage pipeline; support for LISP; a cache controller interface for multiprocessing and virtual memory support; and a parallel coprocessor interface for floating point arithmetic support. All these features make the SPUR CPU significantly different and more complex than previous generations of Bekreley RISC machines.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One suspects that the people who use computers for their livelihood are growing more "sophisticated" as the field of computer science evolves. This view might be defended by the expanding use of languages such as C and Lisp in contrast to the languages such as FORTRAN and COBOL. This hypothesis is false however - computer languages are not like natural languages where successive generations stick with the language of their ancestors. Computer programmers do not grow more sophisticated - programmers simply take the time to muddle through the increasingly complex language semantics in an attempt to write useful programs. Of course, these programmers are "sophisticated" in the same sense as are hackers of MockLisp, PostScript, and Tex - highly specialized and tedious languages. It is quite frustrating how this myth of sophistication is propagated by some industries, universities, and government agencies. When I was an undergraduate at MIT, I distinctly remember the convoluted questions on exams concerning dynamic scoping in Lisp - the emphasis was placed solely on a "hacker's" view of computation, i. e. , the control and manipulation of storage cells. No consideration was given to the logical structure of programs. Within the past five years, Ada and Common Lisp have become programming language standards, despite their complexity (note that dynamic scoping was dropped even from Common Lisp). Of course, most industries' selection of programming languages are primarily driven by the requirement for compatibility (with previous software) and performance.
