An implementation of the distributed programming structural synthesis system (PROSSS)
James Louis Rogers · NASA STI Repository (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) · 1981
A method is described for implementing a flexible software system that combines large, complex programs with small, user-supplied, problem-dependent programs and that distributes their execution between a mainframe and a minicomputer. The Programming Structural Synthesis System (PROSSS) was the specific software system considered. The results of such distributed implementation are flexibility of the optimization procedure organization and versatility of the formulation of constraints and design variables.
