Adaptation of ANSI Standards for Communications Testing in the Connectionless Environment
American National Standards (X 3.102 and X 3.141) establish a uniform means for specifying, assessing and comparing performance of data communications systems and services from the point...

Local Area Network Communications Testing
This paper presents the philosophy developed for benchmark communications testing in networks typical of CAD/CAM environments. Implementation of the test philosophy in a connectionless...

Planning and Implementation of a Heterogeneous Tri-Campus Computer Network
In 1988, Fairleigh Dickinson University received a grant from the New Jersey Department of Higher Education for the establishment of a Tri-Campus Computer Network to link all it's...

Performance Testing of Wide Area Networks
Institute for Telecommunication Sciences (ITS) has developed a software measurement system to support the ANSI standards X3.102 and X3.141. This system is being used to evaluate data communication...

Computer Networking Needs in Engineering Technology
This paper deals with the planning and implementation of a local area network at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in the new $13 million Engineering Technology and Applied Science...

An Emerging Application of Microcomputers in Water Control
Plans being developed at the Corps' Hydrologic Engineering Center propose a gradual transfer of water control support from minicomputers to a network of microcomputer workstations....

City of Roseville, California, Alert System: Real Time Microcomputer Based Flood Warning System
The ALERT system was developed by the California-Nevada River Forecast Center of the National Weather Service. The System integrates self-reporting, field sensors, a base station microcomputer,...

Flood Warning Using Wide-Area Computer Networks
Wide-area computer networks are being used with increasing frequency to improve regional response to flood events, coordinate efforts between agencies and communities, and to improve flood...

Analysis of Pumping Station and Force Main Networks
A computer program to simulate the performance of wastewater pumping station and force main networks is discussed. Results are presented which compare system performance for steady and...

Plans for National Flood Frequency by Microcomputer
Work is underway on a planned microcomputer program that will include about 1500 prediction equations for 214 flood regions of the United States and Puerto Rico. The program will include...

Redundancy and Reliability of Water Distribution Networks: An Entropy Based Approach
Based on the concepts of entropy and graph theory, a functional form is developed as a quantitative measure for redundancy in water distribution networks. This function was obtained by...

1-D and 2-D Analysis of Flood Plain Encroachment
The paper reports on a study into the effects of a local encroachment in a broad regular flood plain. The results of a one-dimensional analysis were compared with the results of an equivalent...

UNET: A Model of Unsteady Flow Through a Full Network of Open Channels
UNET is a PC-based dynamic wave, unsteady flow model for the solution of the full network problem. The program applies a linearized implicit finite difference scheme to solve the full...

University Programs in Computer-Aided Engineering, Design, and Manufacturing
The University Programs in Computer-Aided Engineering, Design, and Manufacturing (UPCAEDM) annual conferences provide for the presentation and exchange of ideas related to current developments...

Water Distribution Network Calibration Considering Multiple Loading Conditions
Through time a water distribution network's carrying capacity is reduced as material collects on pipe walls. The impact varies with each pipe in the system and occurs at an...

Los Angeles' Small Main Programs
Large quantities of small diameter mains within Los Angeles' water distribution network has necessitated the development of new main improvement programs. The introduction...

Task Committee Report on Reliability Analysis of Water Distribution Systems
The results of the ASCE Hydraulics Division Task Committee on Reliability Analysis of Water Distribution Systems are summarized in a very comprehensive report entitled Reliability Analysis...

Changing Requirements
There are three sections to the presentation. First, a discussion of the changing environment of highway transportation - what are the factors and variables that are changing in the world...

Future Federal Pavement Policy
Pavement design is entering a new era of increased attention and research insight. Since most of our pavements are in place and under traffic, much of future design will be for their rehabilitation...
