We introduce a means of estimating an appropriate value automatically. Strong emphasis is placed on the need for scale invariance in making such estimates, and we therefore review the importance of scale and matters equivalent to scale in estimating the order of magnitude of the appropriate starting step size. In this context, we also discuss the response to scale of integrators employing the error per unit step concept of error control and are forced to conclude that our procedure should not be used in such integrators, if the latter should be used at all. We note a special case where the procedure could be badly deceived and suggest an option by which the user can protect himself against this kind of mishap. Test results are cited.","PeriodicalId":204185,"journal":{"name":"ACM '74","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123548926","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 was probably the first such course of its kind instituted on a regular basis in the United States. The idea for such a course came from my colleagues in the special interests group on Design Automation of the IEEE Computer Group. Their primary goal for such a course was to instill the basic concepts of computer aided design into our new graduates. This paper reviews the major aspects related to this course on computer design. Hopefully, other schools will be motivated to develop similar courses. It is interesting to note that in a recent issue of Spectrum [5], W. R. Beam states that\"... every digital designer needs to know something about design automation, even if he's only going to build a single system.\" For this reason, a book on design automation [1] is one of his eleven essential books for the digital designer's reference and study library.","PeriodicalId":204185,"journal":{"name":"ACM '74","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124063072","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 typically provide a user with a VM which is a functional duplicate of a real computer system and which includes simulated switches, buttons, and lights (console functions) for rudimentary system debugging. In the same way that real console functions proved to be inadequate debugging aids for real machines [15, 18], virtual console functions have proved inadequate for VMs [9]. As a result, a number of more powerful debugging tools have been combined with VMs to yield more flexible debugging systems.","PeriodicalId":204185,"journal":{"name":"ACM '74","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129470315","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}

In the former sense, they are his decisions about the significance of past \"events\".

Approaches toward improving these conditions are identified and a specific solution - a “Network Access Machine” - is described in detail. The “Network Access Machine” is a mini- computer-based system that acts as a network access point for a user at his terminal and assists the user through the automatic execution of access procedures. This minicomputer facility allows the user to specify (or to have specified) his own network commands. The minicomputer expands these commands into command sequences executable on a specified network and host connected to that network. Further, system and network responses are analyzed to assure agreement with those anticipated for specific commands. Conditional and parameterized expansions allow the use of the same commands on different host computers and different networks.","PeriodicalId":204185,"journal":{"name":"ACM '74","volume":"63 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116259823","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}
