A methodology for supporting existing CODASYL databases with new database machines
ACM '78: Proceedings of the 1978 annual conference - Volume 2Pages 925–936https://doi.org/10.1145/800178.810163In this paper, an attempt is made to show that conventional database management system software, in particular those of CODASYL type, can be effectively replaced by database machines with good performance. The replacement of CODASYL system software ...

An architecture for the simulation of human movement
ACM '78: Proceedings of the 1978 annual conference - Volume 2Pages 737–745https://doi.org/10.1145/800178.810121We wish to enable a digital computer to translate movement notation into an animated display of human figures performing the represented movements. To this end we have postulated a model of the human body as a network of special-purpose processors—one ...

Notation of movement with computer assistance
ACM '78: Proceedings of the 1978 annual conference - Volume 2Pages 731–736https://doi.org/10.1145/800178.810120Although a number of movement notation systems have been invented, only a few have been developed and are in substantial use. Movement notation systems are inherently complex and therefore are difficult to master. The system described here is designed ...
