%T Object-Based Computing and the Ada Programming Language
%J Computer
%I IEEE
%V 18
%N 3
%D Mar. 1985
%P 11-19
%X While Ada incorporates key concepts of an object-based language,
it was designed to compile onto conventional architectures. Consequently it
captures only the static aspects of of object based computing
%A Allan R. Klumpp
%T Space Station Flight Software: Hal/S or Ada?
%J Computer
%I IEEE
%V 18
%N 3
%D Mar. 1985
%P 20-28
%X Space station flight language selection and implementation must
begin soon, as at least two years are needed to implement embedded
languages
%K embedded realtime systems languages programming
%A E.L. Greenberg
%A R.E. Malcho
%A P.J. Stoll
%A D.J. Theis
%T Survey of Spacecraft Memory Technologies
%J Computer
%I IEEE
%V 18
%N 3
%D Mar. 1985
%P 29-39
%X Increasingly diverse and sophisticated requirements projected for future
satellite systems are causing spacecraft engineers to consider how much
and what types of memory to use
%K ram rom prom nonvolatile magnetic bubble plated wire core novram
%A Jack N. Fenner
%A Jeffery A. Schmidt
%A Houssam A. Halabi
%A Dharma P. Agarwal
%T MASCO: The Design of A Microprogrammed Microprocessor
%J Computer
%I IEEE
%V 18
%N 3
%D Mar. 1985
%P 41-53
%X A microprogrammed simulation of a hardwired processor is easier to
design and modify, especially when the simulation is systematically
derived.
%K mc6809 motorola 6809 emulator simulator architecture
%A Vason P. Srini
%T A Fault-Tolerant Dataflow System
%J Computer
%I IEEE
%V 18
%N 3
%D Mar. 1985
%P 54-68
%X A distributed computer system based on the data flow model of
computation can support fault tolerance by automatically reassigning
nodes when processors fail
%K node assignment packet communication multiple parallel processing
%A Scott Berman
%A Parag Parikh
%A C.S. George Lee
%T Computer Recognition of Two Overlapping Parts Using a Single
Camera
%J Computer
%I IEEE
%V 18
%N 3
%D Mar. 1985
%P 70-80
%X Computer vision will revolutionize automatic assembly processes by
enabling robots to select and transport components. This system
differentiates between overlapping automobile parts.
%K pattern recognition machine vision edge detection labelling
template matching
%A Ware Myers
%T An Assessment of the Competitiveness of the United States Software Industry
%J Computer
%I IEEE
%V 18
%N 3
%D Mar. 1985
%P 81-92
%X If the US software industry is to continue to dominate the world
market, the government may have to provide legal protection,
import/export controls, and investment incetives
%A Ambrose Sunny O. Okorie
%T Using the Decision-Tree Model in Database Design
%J Computer
%I IEEE
%V 18
%N 3
%D Mar. 1985
%P 94-102
%X This tool for the logical design of centralized databases offers a
precise view of the application environment without the need for a
design-user middleman
