Selling and buying in a distributed virtual market place

Creator:: Bella, Ravi
Abstract:: We present a model for a distributed virtual market place that can be constructed on the Internet to support selling and buying requests, such as those found as classified advertisements. One requirement for a transaction to take place in the virtual market place is that a sell request and a...

Optimal inference with local expressions

Creator:: Borujerdi, Mohammad
Abstract:: Probabilistic inference using Bayesian networks is now a well-established approach for reasoning under uncertainty. Among many e ciency-driven tech- niques which have been developed, the Optimal Factoring Problem (OFP) is distinguished for presenting a combinatorial optimization point of view on the problem. The contribution of this thesis is to extend...

Optimization of seasonal irrigation scheduling by genetic algorithms

Creator:: Canpolat, Necati
Abstract:: In this work, we first introduce a novel approach to the long term irrigation scheduling using Genetic Algorithms (GAs). We explore the effectiveness of GAs in the context of optimizing nonlinear crop models and describe application requirements and implementation of the technique. GAs were found to converge quickly to near-optimal...

Resource placement, data rearrangement, and Hamiltonian cycles in torus networks

Creator:: Bae, Myung Mun
Abstract:: Many parallel machines, both commercial and experimental, have been/are being designed with toroidal interconnection networks. For a given number of nodes, the torus has a relatively larger diameter, but better cost/performance tradeoffs, such as higher channel bandwidth, and lower node degree, when compared to the hypercube. Thus, the torus is...

Electrical characterization and circuit modeling of interconnections and packages for high speed circuits by time domain measurements

Creator:: Jong, Jyh-ming
Abstract:: With edge rates of high speed digital devices pushing into the sub-nano second range, interconnections with the associated packages play a major role in determining the speed, size and performance of digital circuits and systems. The purpose of this study is to develop experimental techniques based on time domain peeling...

High-speed implementation of the RSA cryptosystem

Creator:: Peng, Yanqun
Abstract:: A public key cryptosystem allows two or more parties to securely communicate over an insecure channel without establishing a physically secure channel for key exchange. The RSA cryptosystem is the most popular public key cryptosystem ever invented. It is based on the difficulty of factoring large composite numbers. Once the...

Porting and optimizing a routing library for Dataparallel C on the nCUBE 2 system

Creator:: Sivaramapuram, Krishna
Abstract:: Dataparallel C has been designed for various kinds of architectures and was developed jointly at University of New Hampshire and Oregon State University. This project dealt with porting the libraries to the nCUBE 2 system and helping a user compile his programs on nCUBE 2 directly from a Sun workstation...

General purpose, client configurable fuzzy logic expert control system

Creator:: Huntley, Kyle
Abstract:: In this paper we describe a fuzzy logic based control system implemented on a PC architecture. The rule based inference engine of this expert system is easily configured through an ascii text file and is demonstrated to be capable of controlling various simulations, including an inverted pendulum. The controller is...

Sliding-mode control of the super maneuverable aircraft

Creator:: Koo, Chang Sul
Abstract:: In this thesis, A nonlinear methodology for the control of the highly maneuverable, high performance aircraft HARV (F-18) is studied by using sliding-mode control (SMC). This control law, which takes a continuous function when the input constraints are not considered, satisfies the reachability condition by which concerned states are driven...

A factoring approach for probabilistic inference in belief networks

Creator:: Li, Zhaoyu
Abstract:: Reasoning about any realistic domain always involves a degree of uncertainty. Probabilistic inference in belief networks is one effective way of reasoning under uncertainty. Efficiency is critical in applying this technique, and many researchers have been working on this topic. This thesis is the report of our research in this...

Investigation of automatic construction of reactive controllers

Creator:: Westerberg, Caryl J.
Abstract:: In real-time control systems, the value of a control decision depends not only on the correctness of the decision but also on the time when that decision is available. Recent work in real-time decision making has used machine learning techniques to automatically construct reactive controllers, that is, controllers with little...

Porting and optimizing a routing library for C* on the iPSC/860

Creator:: Uberoy, Chetan
Abstract:: High level data-parallel languages are easy to use and shield the programmer from machine specific details. A simple and efficient way of providing an interface to such languages is to develop a machine-independent compiler and a routing library, which isolates the low-level machine dependent communication functions, The compiler translates the...

Supporting branch-and-bound computations on parallel machines

Creator:: Mannan, Mohammed A.
Abstract:: We have developed SearchPak, a machine independent parallel searching tool on shared and distributed memory machines. It can be used for combinatorial optimization problems and OR-parallel computations as well. Both depth-first and best-first search of the state space can be performed using the SearchPak. With SearchPak, a user just provides...

Machine learning in engineering : techniques to speed up numerical optimization

Creator:: Cerbone, G. (Giuseppe)
Abstract:: Many important application problems in engineering can be formalized as nonlinear optimization tasks. However, numerical methods for solving such problems are brittle and do not scale well. For example, these methods depend critically on choosing a good starting point from which to perform the optimization search. In high-dimensional spaces, numerical...

Effects of individualized examples and personalized contexts in computer-based adaptive teaching of algebra word problems

Creator:: Lwo, Lwun-syin
Abstract:: The purpose of the present investigation was to develop an adaptive teaching model for an interactive computer-assisted instruction (CAT) program and to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of individualized examples or individualized examples in personalized contexts. Translating word problems into equations provided the context for the CAT investigation. Four...

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...

Heuristic search in symbolic probability inference

Creator:: Pan, Yonghong
Abstract:: I present a new heuristic search approach to compute approximate answers for the probability query in belief nets. This approach can compute the 'best' bounds for a query in a period of any given time (if time permitted, it will get an exact value). It inherits the essence of Symbolic...
