M.Ing. (Mechanical Engineering) / This thesis involves the development of a Neural Network software package within a Windows environment. This package is called NetPro. It contains most of the standard tools used in existing neural network packages e.g. shuffling of facts, automatic test file facts extraction, randomizing of weights values (before and during training), automatic/manual construction of network files, logging of network properties during training, noise can be added to inputs, etc. NetPro has three additional tools: (a) time delay actions on inputs, (b) a neural network calculator, and (c) automatic saving of the best network during training. The calculator is used to calculate the number of training facts needed for optimum generalization ...

Back in May of 1990, Windows was brought into the arena of viable operating environment due to the significant improvements Windows 3.0 made over its predecessor, Windows 2.11. Windows 3.1, another significant upgrade, was released in May, 1992. As the popularity of Windows has soared, the number of applications developed specifically for Windows has also sky-rocketed. This has translated into a huge demand for Windows programmers.Writing Windows code, however, is never an easy task. In fact, Windows has the reputation of being easy for users but hard for programmers. The difficulties in learning to program in Windows plus the increasing number of beginning Windows programmers lead to an urgent need to provide a solution to the problem: How to ease the learning curve of Windows programming?This is thus the theme of the thesis: building a comprehensive on-line Windows programming tutorial that helps ease the daunting learning curve. Through the use of interesting illustrations, example programs with on-line explanations, this tutorial makes Windows programming easier and more fun to learn. / Department of Computer Science

X windows is a graphic display management system. It is designed to work on a variety of machines and display adapters, however it is not designed for terminals with local graphics capabilities. X windows can be made to work on this type of terminal, although in a slower and restricted form. The problem with designing a variation of X for these terminals is the translation from X requests to native graphics commands, and the mapping of terminal input into X events. These implementation issues are discussed and example code is provided. / Department of Computer Science
