  • Correct abstraction in counter-planning : a knowledge compilation approach

    Creator:
    Flann, Nicholas S.
    Abstract:
    Knowledge compilation improves search-intensive problem-solvers that are easily specified but inefficient. One promising approach improves efficiency by constructing a database of problem-instance/best-action pairs that replace problem-solving search with efficient lookup. The database is constructed by reverse enumeration- expanding the complete search space backwards, from the terminal problem instances. This approach...

  • Learning functional descriptions from examples

    Creator:
    Flann, Nicholas S.
    Abstract:
    The task of inductive learning from examples places constraints on the representation of training instances and concepts. These constraints are different from, and often incompatible with, the constraints placed on the representation by the performance task. This incompatibility is severe when learning functional concepts and explains why previous researchers have...

  • PC++ : an extension of C++ for parallel programming

    Creator:
    Bae, Myungmun
    Abstract:
    Understanding of techniques that can be used to develop software for various parallel machines has not fully matched the dramatic progress in hardware in recent years. Most parallel programming techniques have been closely tied to specific hardware. Different machines have different primitives and architectures. Programming and porting an application with...

  • Linda-Smalltalk : parallel implementation of Little Smalltalk using tuple space communication of Linda

    Creator:
    Chung, Jean H.
    Abstract:
    A new technique of implementing the object-oriented language Little Smalltalk is developed using tuple space communication of Linda. In this implementation, the language's abstract constructs such as object, class, and method are naturally mapped into tuple space. Since Linda's tuple space is designed to facilitate parallel processing, this implementation technique...

  • Strengths and weaknesses of Dataparallel C

    Creator:
    S, Seetharamakrishnan
    Abstract:
    Dataparallel C is a SIMD style data-parallel programming language for MIMD com­puters. Dataparallel Chas been implemented on both shared memory (Sequent) and distributed memory (Intel and nCUBE) computers. Here we analyze the strengths and weaknesses of Dataparallel C by comparing the performance of compiled Data­parallel C programs with the performance...

  • OGS : a lightweight object-oriented graphics system for instruction

    Creator:
    Zhu, Yanming
    Abstract:
    Existing graphics systems are too large for students to study in an introductory computer graphics course. We have implemented a lightweight, object-oriented graphics system called OGS for instruction. OGS is written in Java. It demonstrates how a graphics system is implemented from scratch and is intended to help students understand...

  • Linda, tuple spaces and its implementation on a network of Unix workstations

    Creator:
    Cherala, Janakiram
    Abstract:
    In this paper we outline an implementation of Linda on a network of Unix worksta­tions. A literature survey was done to gain a better perspective on state of the art and to learn from the experiences of other implementations. The tuple space which is central to the Linda system is...

  • A fast algorithm for determining the primitivity of an n x n nonnegative matrix

    Creator:
    Leegard, Amanda D.
    Abstract:
    Nonnegative matrices have a myriad of applications in the biological, social, and physical genres. Of particular importance are the primitive matrices. A nonnegative matrix, M, is primitive exactly when there is a positive integer, k, such that M[superscript k] has only positive entries; that is, all the entries in M[superscript...

  • Similarity inheritance : a model of inheritance for declarative visual programming languages

    Creator:
    Djang, Rebecca W. (Rebecca Walpole)
    Abstract:
    Declarative visual programming languages (VPLs), including spreadsheets, make up a large portion of both research and commercial VPLs. Spreadsheets in particular enjoy a wide audience, including end users. Unfortunately, spreadsheets and most other declarative VPLs still suffer from some of the problems that have been solved in other languages, such...

  • EXE, an expert system shell for agricutural applications

    Creator:
    Currans, Kevin
    Abstract:
    This paper discusses the design, construction, and use of a prototype expert system shell, EXE. EXE is non-conventional in that it does not provide a traditional forward or backward chaining inference mechanism. Instead, it allows the domain expert to control the logic flow of the system in a dynamic fashion....
