M.S. / Computer Science & Engineering / The tasks associated with designing and. implementing parallel programs involve effectively partitioning the problem, defining an efficient. control strategy and mapping the design to a particular system. The task then becomes one of analyzing the program for correctness and stepwise refinement of its performance. New tools are needed to assist the programmer with these last two stages. Metrics and methods of instrumentation are needed to help with behavior analysis (debugging) and performance analysis. First, current tools and analysis methods are reviewed, and then a set of models is proposed for analyzing parallel programs. The design of IPPM, based on these models, is then presented. IPPM is an interactive, parallel program monitor for the Intel iPSC. It gives a post-mortem view of an iPSC program based on a script of events collected during execution. A user can observe changes in program state and synchronization, select statistics, interactively filter events and time critical sequences.

Computer Aided Teaching System (CATSY) is an interactive menu driven system that provides an instructor/presenter with an efficient teaching tool using microcomputer technology and a large screen projection system to enhance lecture presentations. Included in this thesis are descriptions of supporting graphics software and the computer peripherals used in the development of CATSY.The development of data structures used in CATSY is stressed in this thesis, along with their application to manipulate graphics and text. This thesis is intended to support and complement the masters thesis presented by Mr. Vincent Pedraza, which presents the system overview and system applications.

With ever cheaper and more powerful technology. the proliferation of computer systems, and higher expectations of their users, the user interface is now seen as a crucial part of any interactive system. As the designers and users of interactive software have found, though, it can be both difficult and costly to create good interactive software. It is therefore appropriate to look at ways of "engineering" the interface as well as the application. which we choose to do by using the software engineering techniques of specification and prototyping. Formally specifying the user interface allows the designer to reason about its properties in the light of the many guidelines on the subject. Early availability of prototypes of the user interface allows the designer to experiment with alternative options and to elicit feedback from potential users. This thesis presents tools and techniques (collectively called SPI) for specifying and prototyping the dialogues between an interactive system and its users. They are based on a formal specification and rapid prototyping method and notation called me too. and were originally designed as an extension to me too. They have also been implemented under UNIX*. thus enabling a transition from the formal specification to its implementation. *UNIX is a trademark of AT&T Bell Laboratories.
