  • Preliminary results of an experimental study of the mechanical design process

    Creator:
    Ullman, David G., Stauffer, Larry A., and Dietterich, Thomas G.
    Abstract:
    This paper presents the initial results from an empirical study of me­chanical design engineers. In this study, six engineers were video-taped solving real mechanical design problems. Preliminary analysis of this protocol data has yielded several important findings, including (a) me­chanical designers progress from systematic to opportunistic behavior as the design...

  • True-copy token scheme for a distributed database system

    Creator:
    Minoura, Toshimi, Owicki, Susan S., and Wiederhold, Gio
    Abstract:
    A concurrency and resiliency control scheme for a distributed database system with replicated data is discussed. The scheme, true-copy token scheme, uses true-copy tokens in order to designate the physical data copies (true copies) that can be identified with the current logical data that are globally unique, and then it...

  • A powerdoman semantics for indeterminism

    Creator:
    Wise, David S.
    Abstract:
    A denotational semantics is presented for a language that includes multiple-valued functions (essentially Lisp S-expressions), which map from ground values into the power domain of ground values. The domain equations are reflexive. and fixed points of all functions are defined. Thus, it is possible to specify an operating system as...

  • A knowledge level analysis of learning programs

    Creator:
    Dietterich, Thomas G.
    Abstract:
    This chapter develops a taxonomy of learning methods using techniques based on Newell’s knowledge level. Two properties of each system are defined: knowl­edge level predictability and knowledge level learning. A system is predictable at the knowledge level if the principle of rationality can be applied to predict its behavior. A...

  • Combining opinions from several experts

    Creator:
    Ling, Xiaoning and Rudd, W. G.
    Abstract:
    This paper addresses the problem of aggregating a number of expert opinions which have been expressed in some numerical form. An important feature of sets of expert opinions is the possibility of stochastic dependence between members of the sets. We develop an approach for combining expert opinions which formally allows...

  • A paradigm for programming style research

    Creator:
    Oman, Paul W. and Cook, Curtis R.
    Abstract:
    Programming style guidelines and automated coding style analyzers have been developed without a solid experimental or theoretical basis. In this paper we make a distinction between typographic (layout) style characteristics and the underlying structural style content and then show through controlled studies that this distinction aids in assessing the influence...

  • Implementing the expert system on the Macintosh

    Creator:
    Hwang, Chii-Hwa
    Abstract:
    In this research paper, a ported development support tool, the MacExpert, for implementing an expert system on Macintosh will be introduced. This application is designed to allow its user to develop an expert system in a simple and user-friendly environment, the Macintosh personal computers, yet with adequate power.
