Even with networks which are not particularly large the computational difficulties encountered when other than very restrictive and simple models are to be considered preclude analysis. It has become clear that the study of network characteristics and traffic handling procedures must progress beyond the half-dozen switching center problem to consider networks of dozens of nodes with hundreds or even thousands of trunks so that those features unique to these large networks can be determined and used in the design of communications systems. Here it is evident that simulation is the major study tool.","PeriodicalId":126790,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS '64 (Fall, part I)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1964-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134350019","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}

These systems, variously known as \"production\" systems, \"utility\" systems, or \"support\" systems, are designed and produced for the same purpose: to provide programmers the tools required to produce computer programs. Beyond this common purpose these systems have little in common and, in fact, are unique systems individually tailored to a particular application. In each system much of the tailoring occurs because of the particular computer configuraton, operational system support requirements, computer manufacturer's software characteristics, experience of the designers, schedule pressures, and style preferences of the programmers producing the system. The tailoring is reflected in the design of each program production system and is evident, in many features, for example, the programming languages used, the computer operating procedures, the programmer's inputs, the outputs provided to the programmer, and the program organization in the system.","PeriodicalId":126790,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS '64 (Fall, part I)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1964-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120895179","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}

During these years, however, graphical techniques for conversion of design ideas to final products have not changed significantly, nor has the role of drawings in engineering design changed. The drawing plays a vital role in each phase of the evolution of a product. The original design proposals, the engineering analysis, the design compromises, and the prototype product fabrication all depend on graphical communication among engineers and designers. Whether the product is to be machined, assembled, stamped, wired, welded or hand modeled, a drawing is made so that a two-dimensional representation of the product may be reviewed by the engineers concerned with the product. Prior to the final product drawing, many ideas are exchanged by the use of sketches, drawings, plots, and engineering reports.","PeriodicalId":126790,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS '64 (Fall, part I)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1899-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125594922","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}

This paper considers programming nonlinear, explicitly time varying trajectory problems by coupling together a set of nonlinear positional equations and a set of nonlinear first order differential equations, each set being separately programmed by the negative gradient method. The equation of the first approximation to the perturbed motion is used to examine the convergence of the computer program to the solution of the given mathematical system.","PeriodicalId":126790,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS '64 (Fall, part I)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1899-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122754720","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}
