Computer Simulation Techniques

A draft of this paper was prepared for the Workshop on Simu lation Languages, Graduate School of Business, Stanford Univer sity, March 6 and 7, 1964. The paper has benefited from sugges tions from participants at the Workshop, particularly Michael Montalbano, and from projects carried out by students in the Graduate School of Business: H. Barnett, H. Guichelaar, Lloyd Krause, John P. Seagel, Charles Turk, Victor Preisser. The paper has also benefited from discussions held in connection with the Workshop on Simulation Languages, University of Pennsylvania, March 17 and 18, 1966. Characteristics of computer languages and software packages change rapidly. Some statements in the paper were originally intended for the situation current in March, 1964. Where signifi cant changes have occurred the text has been modified.

Practical Implications

Purpose This study aims to explore the roles and skills of Omani academic cataloguing librarians in facilitating access to various kinds of traditional and digital information resources and challenges confronting them in fulfilling that task. Design/methodology/approach Data for this research were gathered from 37 academic libraries in the country through a questionnaire sent to their cataloguing librarians. Google Docs format was used for cumulating and presenting quantitative data, whilst content analysis was utilized for gathering the qualitative data in specific themes according to the research questions. Findings The obvious findings are that Omani academic cataloguers still perform the traditional cataloguing functions, including copy and original cataloguing, and maintain authority files. Moreover, more than half of the respondents have the skills required for working in groups and are familiar with cataloguing tools such as RDA rules and BIBFRAME. However, cataloguers lack familiarity with computer languages (XML, PMH, OAI, RDF) and metadata. Practical implications The research concludes with suggestions to libraries for improving librarians’ skills and performance through such as provision of proficient training and establishment of a collaborative body. Originality/value This research addresses an area of interest to most librarians. However, few researchers in the authors’ region have focused on this topic. The study, therefore, aims to contribute to filling this gap through assessing whether cataloguers in Oman have the skills and roles required for organizing various information resources in the digital era.

Independent Analysis

The goals of the present paper are to apply the recently developed decomposed analysis procedure using a computer code developed in this study. The decomposed technique enables one to determine the equilibrium configuration of electronic packages with significant computational efficiency at a reasonable accuracy. Further, it allows the independent analysis of the subsystems enabling “reusable” modules in a manner analogous to the object-oriented programming paradigm of modern computer languages. The code described here uses a nonlinear optimization procedure that ensures the approximate satisfaction of the balance of mechanical energy. The developed procedure is demonstrated on a variety of two- and three-dimensional hypothetical and “real-world” electronic packages. It is shown that with the use of the decomposed solution methodology, for a 225 I/O PBGA package, a speedup of nearly seven times is achieved at an accuracy loss in displacements of approximately 5.5 percent. It is also shown that the calculated peak shear displacements agree very well with experimental measurements made using laser moire´ interferometry. Since the analysis procedure is independent of the number of solder interconnects, significantly larger time savings are expected for larger packages.
