A Tool for Measuring the Size, Structure and Complexity of Software

Description: The problem addressed by this thesis is the need for a software measurement tool that enforces a uniform measurement algorithm on several programming languages. The introductory chapter discusses the concern for software measurement and provides background for the specific models and metrics that are studied. A multilingual software measurement tool is then introduced, that analyzes programs written in Ada, C, Pascal, or PL/I, and quantifies over thirty different program attributes. Metrics com… more

An On-Line Macro Processor for the Motorola 6800 Microprocessor

Description: The first chapter discusses the concept of macros: its definition, structure, usage, design goals, and the related prior work. This thesis principally concerns my work on OLMP (an On-Line Macro Processor for the Motorola 6800 Microprocessor), which is a macro processor which interacts with the user. It takes Motorola assembler source code and macro definitions as its input; after the appropriate editing and expansions, it outputs the expanded assembler source statements. The functional objectiv… more

The Design of Microcomputer-Based Sound Synthesis Hardware

Description: Microcomputer-based music synthesis hardware is being developed at North Texas State University (NTSU). The work described in this paper continues this effort to develop hardware designs for inexpensive, but good quality, sound synthesizers. In order to pursue their activities, researchers in computer assisted instruction in music theory, psychoacoustics, and music composition need quality sound sources. The ultimate goal of my research is to develop good quality sound synthesis hardware which … more

The Principles of Relational Databases

Description: Every business has to keep records. Sometimes these records have to be presented in a standardized form, or more often they can be arranged in any way that suits the user. Business records are of little use unless they can be referred to quickly, to provide information when it is required. In computer systems it is essential to be able to recognize any particular record in a data file which is a collection of similar records kept on secondary computer storage devices.

Graphical Simulation of Sorting Methods

Description: In this paper, five different sorting methods will be discussed. Each method will be analyzed and discussed in detail pointing out its efficiency, weaknesses, powerfullness, and the appropriate type of applications. The different methods are represented graphically using Turbo Pascal where one pass is performed in each method at a time. The methods discussed in this project are, Bubble Sort, Quick Sort, Heap Sort, Shell Sort, and Double Selection Sort. The latter is a new method that I modified… more
