A microcomputer based decision support tool for assigning dock doors in freight yards
(Elsevier, 1990)
This paper addresses issues at the shipping/receiving dock of a shipping company, where trucks come in from venders, get their shipments unloaded and reloaded onto trucks going to the customers. The assignment of dock doors ...
An object-oriented approach to Computer Integrated Systems
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-08)
In recent years computers have been incorporated into large scale systems such as nuclear plant, flight control, and manufacturing systems. Such Computer Integrated Systems (CIS) normally consist of heterogeneous subsystems. ...
The Algebraic Framework for Object-Oriented Systems
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-09)
Category Theory is introduced as the mathematical model for object-oriented systems which are distributed, heterogeneous, real-time, embedded, and open-ended. Each object can be represented as an algebra. A collection of ...
An optimal solution to a dock door assignment problem
(Elsevier, 1992-11)
This paper addresses issues at the shipping/receiving dock of a shipping company, where trucks arrive from vendors to have their shipments unloaded, sorted, and reloaded onto trucks going to the customers. The assignment ...
The analysis of distributed control and information processing in adaptive systems: a biologically motivated approach
(Elsevier, 1992)
Biological systems have evolved hierarchical, distributed control structures that greatly enhance their adaptability. Two important determinants of biological adaptability considered here are: (i) the pattern of distribution ...
DIDS: rapidly prototyping configuration design systems
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman & Hall ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1994-02)
The domain independent design system (DIDS) provides a set of tools for rapidly constructing new configuration design systems from a library of reusable software elements called mechanisms . A DIDS user begins by creating ...
Rectangular renormalization
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 1995-10-07)
A generalized real-space renormalization scheme is developed for geometrical critical phenomena. The renormalization group is parametrized by the standard length-scaling factor and a new rectangular area-fraction factor. ...
Solving Local Cost Estimation Problem for Global Query Optimization in Multidatabase Systems
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-10)
To meet users' growing needs for accessing pre-existing heterogeneous databases, a multidatabase system (MDBS) integrating multiple databases has attracted many researchers recently. A key feature of an MDBS is local ...
The categorical framework of object-oriented concurrent systems
(Elsevier, 1993-01)
Category Theory is introduced as a mathematical model for an object-oriented concurrent system which is viewed as a collection of objects and processes. An object can be represented as an algebra, whereas a process as a ...
