COMPUTER SOFTWARE
EasyK The current version of KERMIT, a public-domain
communications protocol software package for
microcomputers, is used as the basis for this easy to use
version of KERMIT which runs under MS/DOS. It provides
the user with easily modified "scripts" that permit
dialing up and signing into other micro or mainframe
systems, including any start-up commands desired for
various systems. Once installed, the user sees a series
of pictures and flow charts that shows what various
scripted commands will do and where it will place user
control, e.g., at a manual dial-up location or in the
UF's computerized card catalog system. Another series of
flow charts show users how to toggle to and from DOS
while connected to another computer, copy screens to DOS
files, and log the other computer session to a local DOS
file.
Variations of the original accessing VTAM services on IBM
mainframes have been written to access the UF's IFAS,
CIRCA, and UFNet systems and to access FSU's Cyber and
supercomputer front end. Permission was given to Georges
Mayer, Communication Engineer, Technion Computer Center,
Haifa, Israel, to translate the entire software to Hebrew
for distribution to students, faculty and staff at Haifa.
PRICEMOD The average costs for any set of mainframe services are
given by this model based on an extension of cost
accounting methodology for discrete services in a
mass-production environment characterized by many common
costs. It permits users to specify the services to be
priced and costed in an IBM-architecture mainframe
computing center running VM/CMS, MVS, or DOS. The model
includes an algorithm for modifying prices with respect
to demand trends so the aggregate revenues produced meet
a target level.
NERDCPRO Annual projections of revenues are given by this model
for demands on the Northeast Regional Data Center's
services on three main- frames with a $7 million budget.
OLS estimates of demands, reflecting seasonality and
structural changes, are based on over 136 months of
historical data. The model is used to determine budgeted
revenues, to aid decisions on pricing policy, and to
evaluate the effects of price changes on the center's
estimated financial results over six, twelve,
twenty-four, and sixty months.
IRASAIDS This is a routine data processing application developed
for Ira Horowitz, past editor of Decision Sciences, the
journal of the Decision Sciences Institute (originally,
the American Institute of Decision Sciences), to keep
track of manuscripts and reviewers. It presently takes
up to 1,000 manuscripts and 1,006 reviewers and produces
various types of detailed and summary information. It
was transferred to Robert Markland, current editor, at
the University of South Carolina, December 1983, where it
was installed and put in full production January 1984.
RAELP (With Thom Hodgson, North Carolina State). Costs related
to the use of IBM's MPSX led to the development of this
linear programming simplex algorithm. It runs free on
the Northeast Regional Data Center in fast-batch mode,
has free-format input, generates all required slacks,
surplus, and "Big M" values, and takes up to 39
constraints with an augmented matrix of 97 columns. The
program is included as a subroutine in NERDC's WATFIV
language. It is also running on the UF's Center for
Instruction and Research Computing Activity DEC 11/780
VAX and is used in QMB 3700.
