DE87009009/WCC PCA 02/MF A01. Software Error Experiment. H.M. Holt. The goal was to develop analytic methods to prove performance properties and to measure reliability properties o f software. Charts on software reliability studies and on a software error experiment are given. N8729126/WCC PC (Orderas N8729124/1/WCC, PC A16/MF A01). National Survey o f Worksite Health Promotion Programs, 1985. A. KieJhaber. This data tape contains the National Survey o f Worksite Health Promotion Programs, a computer assisted telephone interview o f 1358 U.S. worksites. The primary purpose of the study was to determine the extent of health promotion activities in worksites with 50 or more employees. Worksites were stratified by size, type o f industry and geographic location. Health promotion activities in nine categories were included: hypertension control, health assessment, smoking cessation, stress management, weight control, nutrition, back care, off the job safety and exercise. 44% ofworksites had some formal health promotion program. Program frequency and prevelance increased with size ofworksite from 51% in worksites o f 100-219 employees to 82% in those with 750 or more employees. Program availability did not differ by region. Prevelance in industry type transportation/communication to a low of 28% for worksites in the "other" category which included construction, fishing and mining. PB88-I29382/WCC.
Recovery Using Virtual Memory. E.K. Kolodner. Maintaining the consistency of long-lived online data in the presence of failures is important for many applications such as airline reservation and banking systems. After a crash, the long-lived data must be recovered for the application to continue running. Storing the data and later restoring it is the job of a recovery system. This thesis presents a new recovery method with two features: it is fast because as much as possible it uses data already stored by an application in virtual memory for recovery, and it is • novel because it allows data in virtual memory to be organized in a heap with automatic garbage collection. The recovery method is designed to be used in the Argus system, but it will also work for other persistent storage systems. AD-A 187 098/9/WCC. Workstation/Mainframe Connection.J. Requa. This paper describes the work going on a LLNL to develop a graphic oriented workstation interface to a network operating system. The paper describes one interface, designed to meet existing user requirements and one prototype network interface with two implementations, intended to explore a part o f the available interface design space. DE88--2387/WCC. Guidelines for Preparing Software User Documentation. D.F. Miller. Clear, easy-to-use software user's manuals make strong demands on special technical communication techniques. Principles and guidelines are given for analyzing the audience and dealing with wide-ranging backgrounds of potential users. Types ofinforma-
tion to be included in a complete manual are suggested, with a technique for creating a user-oriented rather than process-oriented organization. Accuracy verification is emphasized. Simple tips are given for formatting for quick comprehensive and reference, for deciding on packaging, for creating helpful illustrations and examples, and for setting up clear and consistent conventions. Simple guidelines are offered for writing clearly and concisely and for editing. N88-
