THE PROPOSED PHASE I EFFORT WILL EXAMINE CURRENTCOST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES. FROM THIS REVIEW, A METHOD WILL BEDEVELOPED, WHICH WILL INCORPORATE THE RESULTS FROM ADVANCED COMBAT SIMULATIONS TO PERFORM A TRUE COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS. A HYPOTHETICAL WEAPON SYSTEM WILL BE EVALUATED YIELDING A FINAL "FIGURE OF MERIT" (FOM) AND DEMONSTRATING THE ABILITY TO USE WARGAMING RESULTS TO PERFORM COST-BENEF ...

THE INCREASING COMPLEXITY AND DENSITY OF ELECTRONIC SYSTEM DESIGNS COMBINED WITH A PROLIFERATION OF COMPONENT TECHNOLOGIES AND CHOICES HAS CREATED AN URGENT NEED FOR A TOOL THAT ENABLES DESIGN PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION TO TARGET CRITERIA (E.G. SPEED POWER, DENSITY, AREA, COST, RELIABILITY). WHILE COMMERCIAL TOOLS ARE AVAILABLE FROM SYNOPSYS AND OTHERS FOR THIS PURPOSE FOR DEVICE LEVEL DESIGN (E.G. ...

OPTICAL SENSOR TECHNOLOGY PROPOSES TO DEVELOP HIGH LUMINOUS OUTPUT AND HIGH EFFICIENCY FLAT PANEL LAMPS FOR USE AS DISPLAY BACKLIGHT SOURCES. THE PROPOSED DEVICE IS BASED ON HIGH FLUORESCENCE QUANTUM EFFICIENCY ORGANIC POLYMERS AND A NEW ORGANIC SEMICONDUCTOR HETEROSTRUCTURE TO OBTAIN A VERY BRIGHT AND LARGE AREA LIGHT EMITTING SOURCE. THIS DEVICE HAS A POTENTIAL TO OFFER THE USEFUL LIGHT OUTPUT R ...

THE MAIN IMPEDIMENT TO THE USE OF PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING IS THE LACK OF PROPER HIGH-LEVEL PARALLEL PROGRAMMING ENVIRONMENT. THE POTENTIAL OF PARALLEL MACHINES WILL NEVER BE TAPPED IF THEY CNANOT BE PROGRAMMED EFFECTIVELY AND EASILY. FORTRAN-LINDA IS A PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE FOR BUILDING DISTRIBUTED AND PARALLEL PROGRAMS. IT COMBINES A STANDARD SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE (FORTRAN)WIT ...

IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, THE PERFORMANCE OF MICROPROCESSORS USED IN WORKSTATIONS HAS INCREASED DRAMATICLLY, AND ADVANCESIN VLSI TECHNOLOGY ASSURE CONTINUING PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT IN THE FUTURE. SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING ASSOCIATES, INC. HAS MADE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN EFFICIENT IMPLEMENTATION OF THE LINDA COORDINATION LANGUAGE ALLOWING PARALLEL PROGRAMS TO BE RUN ON A NETWORK OF ...

THE ESTABLISHMENT OF GUIDING DESIGN PRINCIPLES FOR THE OPERATION OF QUANTUM CONFINED DEVICES IS NECESSARY FOR MAKING ULTRA-SMALL DEVICES AND FOR PRODUCING MORE FUNCTIONALITY PER UNIT AREA OF CHIP WHEN THE DEVICE SIZE IS UNCHANGED. SUCH GUIDING PRINCIPLES REQUIRE A QUANTUM MECHANICALLY BASED SET OF EQUATIONS THAT INCORPORATE MANY PARTICLE STATISTICS. A MAJOR OPPORTUNITY EXISTS FOR INTRODUCING INTO ...
