The central challenge of all manufacturing is making products to the right standards anddelivering them at the right time. AT&T is upgrading its corporate and factory resource planning systems to improve control of day-to-day manufacturing. The Manufacturing Process Control System (MPCS), developed at the AT&T Engineering Research Center (ERC), provides this support. MPCS connects the shop floor with production scheduling, accounting, product data archive, and engineering support systems.

The architectures of two small switching networks are compared as potential implementations of a 4 × 4 photonic switching module. Such a module would be made by interconnecting several 2 × 2 photonic directional couplers on a single LiNbO 3 substrate. While both networks are rearrangeably nonblocking, we investigate whether one network requires significantly more rearrangements than the other. The analysis includes transient, Monte Carlo simulation, and Markov steady-state techniques. We conclude that the traffic capabilities of the two structures are not significantly different, and that selection of an architecture can be based on other criteria, like loss, crosstalk, or ease of manufacture.

By applying an algebraic approach to the method of stages, an explicit solution is derived for a closed network consisting of a nonexponential server and a service station with two identical nonexponential servers in parallel. There is a finite number of jobs and the queueing discipline is first-come-first-served in the closed network. The solution is described in a quasi-matrix-geometric form, which is a generalization of the matrix-geometric form.

Reliable service has been a cornerstone of customer premises communications systems for years. System 75 office communications system hardware and software have been designed to continue that high degree of reliability and availability. The hardware has been designed to detect and correct errors as they occur, to minimize the number of components that cause system outage, and to simplify fault isolation to a replaceable component. The software has been designed to recover from intermittent failures and to continue providing service with a minimum of disruption. These features have been implemented in the software as a group of processes running under a real-time operating system, which simplifies building and testing the software and makes it easy to extend its functions.

Code generation techniques are used to program an application characterized by complexity arising from many special cases, and rapid changes due to advances in the state of the art. A formal notation—an inverteddecision table written in a propositional logic form—is developed as a means for allowing expert users to describe the application in a knowledge base that code generators then can use to create production code. The complete system described in the paper automatically transforms a one thousand-page specification into a running program. The development of this system is an example of the formalization of the specification of a complex application. In this case the application is a part of the Job Management Operations System, an operational support system to aid regional Bell Operating Company construction and engineering processes. The techniques described, however, can be generalized.

This paper describes a methodology for setting combat system requirements for all ship classes. The requirements are determined from a battle group perspective. The methodology uses ship damage as a measure of effectiveness for setting combat system requirements. The ship damage data used was derived from the Navy tactical game (NAVTAG). The methodology that determines ship class combat system requirements consists of a set of logical steps that are iterative by design. It provides insight and valid estimates of numerical measures of defined force requirements at several levels. This process is not trivial; the expected level of effort could be significant. The method consists of five basic stages considered necessary to achieve valid results. These stages are (1) determination of force level requirements, (2) determination of force level capability, (3) analysis of force level capability, (4) determination of class requirements by battle overviews, and (5) determination of class requirements — overall. The methodology was used by the combat system master plan (CSMP) manager for determining top level combat system requirements for individual platforms in a battle group. In addition, once levels of combat system performance have been defined, this methodology generates a quantitative data base that becomes a useful tool in ship combat suite selection. Once alternate combat system suites have been defined, these suites can be analyzed in terms of combat system performance capability versus cost.

Clocked schedules represent an important method of task scheduling for computer systems with real-time applications. In this paper we consider a generalized class of clocked schedule that includes those used in many storedprogram control switching systems. Key performance measures for this class are discussed, and an analytic approximation method for analyzing certain of these measures is given. This approximation method is most applicable in evaluating long-term delays. (A companion paper by doshi addresses short-term delays for systems with extremely time-critical tasks.) Comparisons are made with exact numerical results (obtained using the method presented in a companion paper by Ackroyd), detailed simulation models, and fielddata.

The switch services software of System 75 provides the basis for an extensible office communication system, supporting a wide variety of voice anddata-switching services. This paper presents the software architecture of the System 75 switch services. The concepts of user, group, and process-per-call form its foundation. We introduce the architecture by stepping through a simple station-to-station phone call, and proceed to the derivation of a call model based on the topology of a call. This call model is realized as a layered set of cooperating processes that execute under the Oryx/Pecos Operating System on the System 75 switch processor. The software layers and processes are discussed and a call walk-through is used to illustrate the process interactions.
