34 An Empirical Study of Persistent Object StoresPersistent object stores support the creation, manipulation, storage, and retrieval of objects. Other desirable features of persistent stores are protection, transaction management, version control and concurrency control. Due to a lack of complete understanding of the demands of applications, there...persistent object stores; CAGD; Alpha_1; ESM; Postgres; data clustering; object identifier1993-06
35 An Interactive Continuous Simulation LanguageComputer simulation has come into increasingly widespread use to study the behavior of systems of which the state of the system changes over time. There have been two main types of simulation languages developed to study these systems, continuous simulation languages to study continuous change model...1968-10
36 Analysis of Functional Programs using Attribute GrammarsAn attribute grammar combines the standard context-free grammar that defines the syntax of a programming language with attributes that define semantic aspects of the language. This information makes attribute grammars very useful for performing the semantic analysis of programs. Functional programmi...programming languages, functional programs; attributed grammar1985-08
37 Applicative updating and provisional computation in functional programmingLarge scale computing systems often consist of calculations which are repeated for many sets of input data. If the variance between the data sets is small, there may be portions of the computation which are not affected by the changes in the input values. The effort required for such systems can be ...recomputation; efficient recomputation; function graphs; computers1983-06
38 Approximating data with parametric B-splines for computer aided designThis thesis addresses some of the difficulties that can be encountered when approximation is used as a design tool. In many cases, it is most intuitive for a designer to specify points on or near a desired contour, and approximate them with a curve. Merely computing some approximation to a set of da...computer graphics; computer-aided design; approximation theory; B-splines1985-12
39 ASSASSIN: an assembly, specification and analysis system for speed-independent control-unit design in integrated circuits using path-programmable logic (PPL)Abstract: Numerous efforts have been made to automatically implement the control-units and datapaths of synchronous systems in integrated circuits.
