A small interconnection network, using wireless technology for a parallel processing system, is introduced. The communication between the processor nodes in an experimental eight-processor system is described. A wireless network protocol is proposed. A design of an interconnection network for different wireless communication techniques is presented. A discussion about advantages and disadvantages of the proposed WINS, compared to similar systems, is offered. The discussion includes comments on how the system may develop in the future.

A design for a reconfigurable functional unit, based on dynamically programmable gate arrays, is proposed. The design provides multiple concurrent configuration contexts for the purpose of supporting multiple execution streams. A discussion of the impact of the reconfigurable functional unit on each processor pipeline stage is presented. The proposed design is simulated and the system performance is compared to other designs.

Models of decision-making organizations supported by command, control, and communication systems are represented using the Petri net formalism. A small set of primitives, defining the correspondence between decision models, signals, and functions and their Petri net counterparts, is proposed. A new decision signal-routing demultiplexer is added to the Petri net formalism to represent internal decision-making in the model. Using the above primitives, any decision-making structure can be modeled by a Petri net diagram. An array is introduced that describes the interactions between decision-makers, and an algorithm is presented for the calculation of delay when synchronous protocols are used.

The conditional MOVE processor (CMOVE) has been proposed for replacement of logic table driven sequencers like traffic light controllers and microcomputer I/O processors, in order to take better advantage of hardware-software tradeoffs. Herein the architecture of the CMOVE processor is sketched, and its application to traditional numerical control problems is studied.

A system selection procedure, proposed in a previous paper is implemented in the selection of microprocessor equipment to satisfy specified design criteria. The procedure is composed of stages involving curve fitting and minimization. A particular example, illustrating the implementation of the procedure, along with final recommendations, is presented.

Important text examines most significant algorithms for optimizing large systems and clarifying relations between optimization procedures. Much data appear as charts and graphs and will be highly valuable to readers in selecting a method and estimating computer time and cost in problem-solving. Initial chapter on linear and nonlinear programming presents all necessary background for subjects covered in rest of book. Second chapter illustrates how large-scale mathematical programs arise from real-world problems. Appendixes. List of Symbols.

Automized stabilization and control of computer-controlled nonlinear processes is considered. A new algorithm which constitutes a combination of Popov's and of Jury and Lee's stability criteria with a nonlinear programming approach is proposed. The algorithm is applied to a digitally controlled antenna tracking system and the operation is simulated on an IBM 360/91 computer. The solution involves a novel application of nonlinear programming algorithms to problems with complex variables. A comparative study of various unconstrained minimization methods used by the proposed algorithm was performed.

The book consists of selected papers presented at the Second International Conference on Computing Methods in Optimization Problems held in San Remo, Italy, September 9–13, 1968. The purpose of the conference was to review recent advances in computational techniques of optimization problems, applied in a variety of technical areas. Thirty-one papers presented at the conference were selected to be included in this publication. These papers can be subdivided into eight basic categories. This classification and the contents of the papers will be discussed next.
