Mahi, Robert | Visible surface algorithms for quadric patches | This paper describes two algorithms which find the visible portions of surfaces in a picture of a cluster of three-dimensional quadric patches. A quadric patch is a portion of quadric surface defined by a quadratic equation and by zero, one or several quadratic inequalities. The picture is cut by pa... | surface algorithms; quadric patches | 1970 |

Seror, Denis D. | D.C.P.L. - A distributed control programming language | In this thesis, a computation is considered a system of asynchronously cooperating "independent" programs (coroutines) linked by paths of in formation along which messages are sent. A programming language called DCPL, a Distributed Control Programming Language, in which such computations may be ex... | Distributed control programming language; DCPL | 1970 |

Newman, William M. | An experimental display programming language for the PDP-10 computer | An experimental language for display programming, called DIAL, has been developed for the PDP-10 and the UNIVAC 1559 display. It is experimental in the sense that it was originally conceived as a means of testing out some ideas, and the best way to test them seemed to be to produce a language that ... | Display programming; DIAL; Display Algol | 1970 |

Mahi, Robert | Scheduling multiprogammed computer systems: an analytical approach | In a multiprogrammed computer system, several jobs are using the facilities of the system at the same time. However, a given facility (or resource) is generally only allocated to one user at a time- But, while working, jobs generate requests for some facilities and liberate other facilities; thus, c... | Multiprogrammed computer system | 1970 |

Templeton, Frederick E. | Optimal control of a process with discrete and continuous decision variables | The task of dynamic optimization consists of manipulating the inputs to a dynamic system (i.e., one in which the state varies with time) so that the system performs in an advantageous manner. This paper presents a systematic technique for solving the problem of optimally controlling a converter ais... | Dynamic optimization; Decision variables; Converter aisle; Copper smelter | 1970 |

Gouraud, Henri | A programmer's guide to PDP-10 euler | This manual describes the EULER language as implemented on the DEC PDP-10 computer. EULER is a block-structured language, similar to Algol-60 but simplified by omitting type declarations and by altering the way procedures are defined and called. PDP-10 EULER includes features for list-and array-mani... | EULER language | 1970 |

Gouraud, Henri | Computer display of curved surfaces | This research describes a method for producing shaped pictures of curved surfaces. It uses a small polygon approximation of the surface to solve efficiently the nidden parts detection, and then computes the shading on each polygon in such a way that visual discontinuities between adjacent polygons d... | Curved surfaces; Computer display | 1971 |
