Automated Induction Of Rule-Based Neural Networks

Prototype expert systems implemented in software and are functionally equivalent to neural networks set up automatically and placed into operation within minutes following information-theoretic approach to automated acquisition of knowledge from large example data bases. Approach based largely on use of ITRULE computer program.

Simulation in a dynamic prototyping environment: Petri nets or rules?

An evaluation of a prototyped user interface is best supported by a simulation of the system. A simulation allows for dynamic evaluation of the interface rather than just a static evaluation of the screen's appearance. This allows potential users to evaluate both the look (in terms of the screen layout, color, objects, etc.) and feel (in terms of operations and actions which need to be performed) of a system's interface. Because of the need to provide dynamic evaluation of an interface, there must be support for producing active simulations. The high-fidelity training simulators are normally delivered too late to be effectively used in prototyping the displays. Therefore, it is important to build a low fidelity simulator, so that the iterative cycle of refining the human computer interface based upon a user's interactions can proceed early in software development.

Similarity rules in testing of microgravity fluid behaviors

The dynamical behavior of fluids in a full scale prototype and various 10% subscale containers with identical values of similarity parameters have been investigated. It shows that the Bond number can be used to simulate the wave characteristics of slosh wave excitation, whereas the Weber number can be used to simulate the wave amplitude. It is shown that a dynamical capillar number can be used to simulate the induced perturbation of the fluid stress distribution exerted on the wall.

How Emerging Technologies are Changing the Rules of Spacecraft Ground Support

As part of its effort to develop the flight dynamics distributed system (FDDS), NASA established a program for the continual monitoring of the developments in computer and software technologies, and for assessing the significance of constructing and operating spacecraft ground data systems. In relation to this, technology trends in the computing industry are reviewed, exploring their significance for the spacecraft ground support industry. The technologies considered are: hardware; object computing; Internet; automation, and software development. The ways in which these technologies have affected the industry are considered.

A Supersonic Area Rule and an Application to the Design of a Wing-Body Combination with High Lift-Drag Ratios

A concept for interrelating the wave drags of wing-body combinations at supersonic speeds with axial developments of cross-sectional area is presented. A swept-wing-indented-body combination designed on the basis of this concept to have significantly improved maximum lift-drag ratios over a range of transonic and moderate supersonic speeds is described. Experimental results have been obtained for this configuration at Mach numbers from 0.80 to 2.01. Maximum lift-drag ratios of approximately 14 and 9 were measured at Mach numbers of 1.15 and 1.41, respectively.
