Abstract

Digital Conference is a software package, which allows people at different locations to exchange information and simultaneously share a running program through a network. It motivates us to create a digital conference like software for parallel and distributed processing programs. The DC-like PDP allows a group to discuss and operate the same PDP model without having all members present at the same computer site. The software has potential to facilitate teaching and research in our institution. This paper presents a complete methodology to develop the DC-like PDP. Two solution models using client/server computing are presented. A decision table approach is proposed to facilitate system analysis and design. The table is ultimately encoded as macro rules in source programs. The approach improves program readability, reduces the size of source codes, and enforces consistent maintenance.
