A corner is modelled as the intersection of two lines. A corner point is that point on an input digital arc whose a posteriori probability of being a corner is the maximum among all the points on the arc. The performance of the corner detector is characterized by its false alarm rate, misdetection rate, and the corner location error all as a function of the noise variance, the included corner angle, and the arc length. Theoretical expressions for the quantities compare well with experimental results.< >

The concept of a simulation environment combines different aspects of the simulation process into one complete powerful tool. The environment should provide the necessary state-of-the-art advances and concepts that a modeler may require during the simulation development and execution process. The "environment" requirements must address the end user needs while minimizing the necessity of learning a new language. The requirements must specify the useful features, independent of different platforms and implementation languages. Hence the opportunity exists for standardization of environments. The paper opens a discussion on challenges and rewards awaiting the simulation community with the advent of a standard environment.

There is a very large demand for basic telephone service in developing nations, and remote parts of industrialized nations, which cannot be met by conventional wireline and cellular systems. This is the world's largest unserved market. We describe a system which uses recent advances in active phased arrays, fast-packet switching technology, adaptive routeing, and light spacecraft technology, in part based on the work of the Jet Propulsion laboratory and on recently-declassified work done on the Strategic Defense Initiative, to make it possible to address this market with a global telephone network based on a large low-Earth-orbit constellation of identical satellites. A telephone utility can use such a network to provide the same modern basic and enhanced telephone services offered by telephone utilities in the urban centres of fully-industrialized nations. Economies of scale permit capital and operating costs per subscriber low enough to provide a service to all subscribers, regardless of location, at prices comparable to the same services in urban areas of industrialized nations, while generating operating profits great enough to attract the capital needed for its construction. The bandwidth needed to support the capacity needed to gain these economies of scale requires that the system use K(alpha)-band frequencies. This choice of frequencies places unusual constraints on the network design, and in particular forces the use of a large number of satellites. Global demand for basic and enhanced telephone service is great enough to support at least three networks of the size described herein. The volume of advanced components, and services such as launch services, required to construct and replace these networks is sufficient to propel certain industries to market leadership positions in the early 21st Century.

Several commercial processors, including the Motorola 88110 and the DEC Alpha, are capable of issuing multiple operations per clock cycle. Optimization of the pipeline depth and number of function units in these processors has been largely ignored due to limited semiconductor resources. Recently, advances in feature size and packaging technologies have removed these limitations. It is possible that next-generation processor designs may benefit from multiple function unit copies and optimize pipeline depths. The paper investigates the feasibility of performing synthesis at the architectural specification level. The design space is optimized for performance constrained by a hardware model of silicon area. The results of this study indicate that cost-effective high performance can be achieved with the addition of small amounts of function unit duplication. These results are also used to comment on the validity of the "benchmark suite" approach to performance evaluation and machine design.< >

Thermodynamics problems can be separated into conceptual and mathematical parts. The conceptual part consists of the problem formulation and analysis. The mathematical part seeks to obtain an answer to a problem by solving the equations identified in the analysis. The mathematical part can be complex and time-consuming and often directs the students' focus away from the concepts. An equation solving program called engineering Equation Solver (EES) was developed to reduce the time and effort required by students to solve the mathematical part of thermodynamics problems. EES differs from existing equation solving programs in that it is designed for use by students and it includes an extensive library of built-in functions for thermodynamic and transport properties of fluids. Thermodynamic and transport property data needed for solving engineering problems (eg, steam tables, refrigerant properties, psychrometric and combustion gas data) are built into the program. By eliminating table lookups and algebra, EES allows students to concentrate on engineering fundamentals, as well as to do more complex design problems.

As technology advances and our dependency on software increases, the requirement to develop the correct means to improve quality in both the deveiopment phase and the maintenance phase of software life cycle support becomes increasingly significant. The focus of this paper is on the dilemma facing softwareengineering in maintaining quality within the constraints of the maintenance phase. The paper further proposes that the software maintenance process can also be analvzed and improved using statistical process control (SPC) techniques. The methods discussed in this paper have been proposed for use in the software Maintenance project at NUWC Detachment Norfolk. Upon successful testing at NUWC Detachment Norfolk, they will be forwarded to the AN/SQQ-89(V) (interagencv) softwarequality Evaluation Committee for use by other agencies which are developing and maintaining AN/SQQ-89(V) software.

The use of an electromagnetic analysis of 3-D planar structures is described with respect to the educational requirements of students from the college freshman level through the graduate level. The analysis is intended primarily for microwave use; however, there is also significant potential interest from the student of high speed digital design. The analysis is used for passive planar circuits with any number of layers. The third dimension is represented by vias. A mature graphical user interface is provided allowing rapid capture of structure geometry, color visualization, and animation of the resulting current distributions. The software is also explicitly designed to work in conjunction with popular circuit theory based microwave software and with SPICE.

A tasking query language (TQL) for aiding very general analysis of Ada tasking in a Petri-net-based environment is discussed. An important principle of TQL's design is that of hiding the formalism upon which the analysis framework is built. Instead, TQL defines a language by which queries of Ada interactions themselves can be expressed. Examples of TQL's capabilities are presented, and a sample analysis session using the gas station program is described.< >
