The editor supports real-time recording, playback, and editing (cut, copy, and paste) of several multimedia objects. Using the X Window system, the authors have implemented the editor on an environment of Sun SPARCstations, and PC-ATs equipped with video compression hardware. The user interface of the multimedia editor consists of a main editing window for each display device, and rope windows, which represent synchronized sequences of digital video and audio being accessed, called ropes. Experience shows that the editor provides a simple and easy to use, but powerful system for multimedia document preparation, and it can act as a basis for supporting applications such as multimedia mail, electronic distribution of television news and video entertainment, etc.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":103288,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Fifth Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115034650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The nature and cost of an information system is shaped by decisions about where to provide computer support, the hardware platform, and the database management system (DBMS) architecture-decisions influenced largely by how quickly work must be done. A prototype system has been developed which produces simulation results automatically from data flow diagrams (DFDs) augmented with information regarding the performance of system components. The objective is to make the evaluation of IS design dynamics a common and integral part of the development process by producing simulation results directly from computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tool data dictionaries. The prototype reads DFDs from a custom DFD-drawing tool and formulates a corresponding simulation model. The prototype provides model-based expert advice in the use of the simulation model and in the interpretation of its output. The use of the prototype is illustrated through its application to a proposed research clinic information system.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":103288,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Fifth Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences","volume":"85 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128741387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More specifically, it is a multivariate statistical procedure that starts with a data set containing information on some variables and attempts to reorganize these data cases into relatively homogeneous groups. One of the major problems encountered by researchers, with regard to cluster analysis that different clustering methods can and do generate different solutions for the same data set. What is needed, is a technique that has discovered the most 'natural' groups in a data set. Genetic algorithms belong to a class of 'artificially intelligent' techniques, that are founded on principles of natural selection and natural genetics. The primary goal of this research effort is to investigate the potential feasibility of using genetic algorithms for the purpose of clustering.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":103288,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Fifth Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127510012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
