The Common Ada Programming Support Environment (APSE) Interface Set (CAIS)

The Ada-AI interface

In this paper we investigate the interactions between artificial intelligence and Ada. The Ada language has been mandated for use in all U.S. Department of Defense mission critical embedded systems. Artificial intelligence has become an important ingredient in such systems. Currently, LISP is the language of choice among DoD AI implementors, and its continued use may retard the expected widespr...

DEA common set of weights based on a multi objective Fractional Programming

Data envelopment analysis operates as a tool for appraising the relative efficiency of a set of homogenous decision making units. This methodology is applied widely in different contexts. Regarding to its logic, DEA allows each DMU to take its optimal weight in comparison with other DMUs while a similar condition is considered for other units. This feature is a bilabial characteri...

Common Interface for a General Validation Environment

Transaction Support for Ada

This paper describes the transaction support framework OPTIMA and its implementation for Ada 95. First, a transaction model that fits concurrent programming languages is presented. Then the design of the framework is given. Applications from many different domains can benefit from using transactions; it is therefore important to provide means to customize the framework depending on the applicat...

Determining a common set of weights in DEA by solving a linear programming

In models of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), an optimal set of input and output weights is generally as-sumed to represent the assessed Decision Making Unit (DMU) in the best light in comparison to all the other DMUs. These sets of weights are, typically, different for each of the participating DMUs. Thus, it is important to find a Common Set of Weights (CSW) across the set of DMUs. In this pa...
