Mecklenburg, Robert | A dossier driven persistent objects facility | We describe the design and implementation of a persistent object storage facility based on a dossier driven approach. Objects are characterized by dossiers which describe both their language defined and "extra-linguistic" properties. These dossiers are generated by a C+-f- preprocessor in concert ... | Persistent object storage facility; Dossier driven | 1994 |

Bruderlin, Beat | A new approach to tolerance analysis | Tolerance analysis is seen as part of a more general problem, namely handling data with uncertainty.

Bruderlin, Beat | An interactive N-Dimensional constraint system | In this paper, we present a graph-based approach to geometric constraint solving. Geometric primitives (points, lines, circles, planes, etc.) possess intrinsic degrees of freedom in their embedding space. Constraints reduce the degrees of freedom of a set of objects.

Gopalakrishnan, Ganesh | Case studies in symbolic model checking | The need to formally verify hardware and software systems before they are deployed the real world has been recognized for several decades now. This is especially true of concurrent systems that are even more difficult to debug than sequential systems. For example, many of the protocols that get emp... | Symbolic model checking; Hardware verification; Software verification | 1994 |

Johnson, Christopher R. | Construction of a human torso model from magnetic resonance images for problems in computational electrocardiography | Applying mathematical models to real situations often requires the use of discrete geometrical models of the solution domain.

Lindstrom, Gary E. | ETYMA: a framework for modular systems | Modularity, i.e. support for the flexible construction, adaptation, and combination of units of software, is an important goal in many systems. In most cases, however, systems achieve only a few aspects of modularity.
