The objective of this effort is to develop a language oriented editor for the thll language, that is, an editor which has "knowledge" of the language and which uses this knowledge to help the user to enter syntactically correct programs. phase i of this effort will develop a prototype language… More

An expert system for software sizing will be developed based on two different types of knowledge: qualitative humanexperience formalized as rules and quantitative experience gained in previous software development projects implementedas frames. the software sizing tool will operate in two stages.… More

The technologies of high brightness x-ray sources and holographic imaging individually have a large range of potential applications in defense, commercial, and scientific sectors. the feasibility is beingdetermined of developing a commercially viable technology for biological x-ray microholography… More

The goal of this project is to develop techniques for creating a knowledge base containing the design history of software intensive systems and to develop prototype toolsfor using this knowledge to reduce life cycle costs for these systems. a formalism is proposed using concepts from object oriented… More

A new acoustical/optical translator can extend the imaging capability of an available 3d optical holographic system to signals comprised of pressure waves (ultrasound). in analogy with electromagnetic waves, properly recorded sonic waves produce a holographic pattern which, if appropriately… More

A new form of imaging, three-dimensional holographic microscopy, has a broad range of cancer related commercial applications in the biological and medical sciences. this technology will enable the formation of three-dimensional visualizations of living tumor cells derived from biopsy specimens.… More
