Adaptive Forgetting through Multiple Models and Adaptive Control of Car Dynamics
- 1983
-
Licentiate thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- A new recursive identif ication method, Adaptive Forgetting through Multiple Models - AFMM, is presented and evaluated using computer simulations. AFMM is specif ically suited for identification of systems with jumping or rapidly changing parameters. It can be viewed as a particular way of implementing adaptive gains or adaptive forgetting factors for recursive identif ication. The new method essentiallyconsists of multiple Recursive Least Squares (RLS) algorithms running in parallel, each with a corresponding weighting factor. The simulations indicate that AFMM is able to track rapidly changing parameters well, and that the method is robust in several respects.

Marketing Progress and Buyer Behavior in the Middle East : A deep structure approach
- 1984
-
Licentiate thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This report is an extension of deep structure "socio-cultural" approach ininternational marketing by:1- Developing methodological and conceptual tools for understanding socio-cultural characteristic of the Middle - East nations, example of Saudi Arabia; buyer behavior and buyer seller relationship.2- Interprating buyers actions, decision making process, imoressions ,etc. and explorin~ the Swedish businessmen's problems in adapting business dealin9 to the buyer's socio-cultura 1 terms.3 - Finally suggesting some tactics for making further marketing progress in Saudi Arabia.

Retargeting of an incremental code generator.
- 1984
-
Licentiate thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Incremental programming environments are becoming increasingly popular. Earlier systems are mostly based on interpretation. DICE is an incremental programming environment based on incremental compilation only. In this thesis the retargeting of the code generator from PDP-11 to DEC-20 is described. DICE supports separate host and target environments. The code and data administration in the target is discussed and analyzed. A new runtime environment in the target is created by providing an interface to an existing one. In DICE, the traditional compile, link and load passes are integrated and interleaved. A classification of linking programs is made from this point of view.

An interactive flowcharting technique for communicating and realizing algorithms
- 1984
-
Licentiate thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This thesis describes the design, specification, implementation and experience of the use of an interactive flowcharting technique for communicating and realizing algorithms. Our goals are: 1) to help novices to understand computers, by giving them a framework for organizing algorithms, and 2) to support development of software produced by groups of people over an extended period of time. Based on the notions of Dimensional Flowcharts, a system called the DIMsystem has been developed for handling structured flowcharts. The DIMsystem consist of different modules for creating, manipulating and communicating dimensional flowcharts. The current research implementation is in Pascal and runs on a VAX/VMS computer system.

Interleaved processing of non-numerical data stored on a cyclic memory.
- 1983
-
Licentiate thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The memory access delay, caused by the ’emulation’ of the random access capabilities on a sequential access memory type, is stated as a problem in Non-Numerical Data Processing and the motivation for a problem solution is provided. An adequate storage data representation and the proper organization of processing algorithms are introduced, in order to take advantage of the natural sequential access of a Cyclic Memory. In support of this approach, two published works were produced. The first paper entitled "The Utilization of Controllable Cyclic Memory Properties in Non-Numerical Data Processing" defines the conditions for the sequential evaluation of a given query. The second work "Sequential Evaluation of Boolean Functions" was derived originally as a supporting theory for the concepts presented in the first paper; namely in order to enable the sequental (per Boolean function argument) evaluation of a verification expression of a query, given as a Boolean expression of predicates of attributes of given data type. The last method however, has much broader application area e.,g., time efficient real time decision making.
