MITRE has been developing a Knowledge-Based Battle Management Testbed for evaluating the viability of i n t e g r a t i n g i n d e p e n d e n t l y d e v e l o p e d k n o w l e d g e based decision aids in the Air Force tactical domain. The primary goal for the testbed architecture is to permit a new system to be added to a testbed with little change to the system's software. Each system tha...

Vitamins Vitamins A, D and E are important for finish ing lambs and usually need to be supplemented in finishing ra tions (Table 3). Including these in the ration is fairly easy; however, some studies indi cate that injecting these into lambs upon receiv ing is more advantageous than day-to-day vitamin supplementation. Water soluble vita mins (B vita mins) usually are not needed unless lambs ar...

PRESS is a computer program fo r so lv ing symbol ic, t ranscendenta l , n o n d i f f e r e n t i a l equat ions, [ 3 ] . We describe a new equation so lv ing method, ca l l ed Homogenization, which we have implemented in PRESS. Homogenization prepares equat ions, so tha t they can be solved by the Change of Unknown method. It does t h i s by oausing d i f f e r e n t occurrences of the unknow...

In safety-critical embedded real-time systems the timing behaviour is of highest importance, because applications underlie timing constraints that have to be met. Otherwise the system might fail causing harm to humans, the environment, or the system itself. Therefore, such hard real-time systems have to provide timing guarantees. Since the timing behaviour of the system does not only depend on ...
