  • SES: a real time message oriented system for easy intertask communication

    Creator:
    Saedi-Faez, Sheida
    Abstract:
    In process control systems where an entire process is being controlled by a computer, the component tasks of the system have to be monitored. An efficient message oriented environment could be an important factor in the optimization of such systems. In this paper we discuss the design of a real...

  • Optimization of machine allocation in RingLeader

    Creator:
    King, Jonathan B.
    Abstract:
    Many different types of distributed batch scheduling systems have been developed in the last decade to take advantage of the decentralization of computers and the enormous investments that many companies and educational institutions have in desktop workstations. Based on the premise that the majority of desktop workstations are significantly underutilized,...

  • Automatic scheduling and dynamic load sharing of parallel computations on heterogeneous workstation clusters

    Creator:
    Jacob, Joseph, 1971-
    Abstract:
    Parallel computing on heterogeneous workstation clusters has proved to be a very efficient use of available resources, increasing their overall utilization. However, for it to be a viable alternative to expensive, dedicated parallel machines, a number of key issues need to be resolved. One of the major challenges of heterogeneous...

  • 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....

  • A feasibility study on compiling reactive problem solution methods for an Al domain

    Creator:
    Kaul, Lothar
    Abstract:
    This paper investigates the feasibility of compiling the functionality of a decision theoretic problem solving engine into a set of rules or functionally similar construct. The decision theoretic engine runs in exponential time, while the rule set runs in linear time at worst. The main question that will determine the...

  • Attentional flow networks : a real-time adaptive display technique

    Creator:
    Bible, John
    Abstract:
    Graphics resource allocation has often existed on the periphery of graphics research, taking second place to faster or more realistic algorithms for global illumination and modeling. Most research has focused on generating sets of images that best match the effects one might see in photographs. While this approach works well...

  • Logic sampling, likelihood weighting and AIS-BN : an exploration of importance sampling

    Creator:
    Wang, Haiou
    Abstract:
    Logic Sampling, Likelihood Weighting and AIS-BN are three variants of stochastic sampling, one class of approximate inference for Bayesian networks. We summarize the ideas underlying each algorithm and the relationship among them. The results from a set of empirical experiments comparing Logic Sampling, Likelihood Weighting and AIS-BN are presented. We...

  • Visualization, implementation, and application of the Walking Tree heuristics for biological string matching

    Creator:
    Cavener, Jeffrey Douglas
    Abstract:
    Biologists need tools to see the structural relationships encoded in biological sequences (strings). The Walking Tree heuristics calculate some of these relationships. I have designed and implemented graphic presentations which allow the biologist (user) to see these relations. This thesis contains background information on the biological sequences and some background...
