The Image Processing Data Manager

Abstract

The document describes a model of an image processing data management system called the Image Processing Data Manager. The Data Manager is an interactive program which, using a data base, aids the user in performing selective image processing. It answers his queries and allows him to specify conditional process operation and data retrieval. The user communicates with the Data Manager using a language which is a combination of English and algebra. The system has an underlying formal syntactical language (which may be used), but also incorporates a set of flexibility-introducing techniques which allow natural, English-like communication. The Data Manager is implemented for the IBM/370 using the ICOS time-sharing system and the CWIC meta-compiler languages. It is readily transferable to operation under either IBM TSO or OS.
