Most traditional methods of maintaining trauma patient temperature during prehospital transport appear to be inadequate. Aggressive use of hot packs, a simple, inexpensive intervention to maintain thermostasis, deserves further study as a potential basic intervention for trauma patients.
This paper presents a goal oriented office form system. Comparing to the previous developed office form $ystems, two contributions have been made by this system. First, basedon the AI frame system and the unification process, an office form pattern language k developed. This pattern language can handle the association of a form to ha subforms which have a group of repetitions of the same structure.Second, an AI planner which can directly manipulate the office forms is achieved. The specific difficulty for developing a ptanner to directly manipulate office forms is the frame problem [Hayes, 1975]. Since office form entity can no longer be represented by a symbol ora relation, the situation representation in the planning network has to consider not only the changes of some office forms against the whole office form base, but also the changes of the attributes against the form in which the attributes are located. The goal oriented office form system is developed based on constraint manipulation.
The diversity and complexity of individual building companies has meant that many prospective users have been unable t o j n d applications systems packages which precisely meet their needs.The high cost, and long lead times associated with traditionally produced bespoke software has previously made such systems impractical for many builders. Some builders who have commissioned bespoke software have had unsatisfactory results, where systems have been unreliable, or do not fully meet the purpose for which they were intended. This paper describes a prototype advanced sojlware development system which was constructed and then applied to produce an integrated estimating and cost control system for speculative housing companies.Spec-Builder was developed over a relatively short time period, thus at lower cost. As much of the software was generated from proven DB4GL procedures, the resulting system was also reliable. The development techniques allow early appraisal of the system which can then be amended easily to fu[fil the user's precise requirements.The system could be used for producing other applications packages.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
