  • Design and analysis of hard real-time systems

    Creator:
    Zhu, Jiang
    Abstract:
    First, we study hard real-time scheduling problems where each task is defined by a four tuple (r, c, p, d): r being its release time, c computation time, p period, and d deadline. The question is whether all tasks can meet their deadlines on one processor. If not, how many...

  • Integration of an expert system and dynamic programming approach to optimize log breakdown using 3-dimensional log and internal defect shape information

    Creator:
    Zeng, Yimin
    Abstract:
    A computer program, SAW3DG, was developed to optimize log breakdown using 3-dimensional log and internal defect shapes. The program was based on SAW3D, a log breakdown optimization program considering only 3-dimensional log shape. SAW3D was modified to include internal log defects in 3-dimensional representation and integrated with SLGRADER, an expert...

  • New methods for sedimentation and diffusion analysis of macromolecular structure

    Creator:
    Demeler, Borries
    Abstract:
    Methods are presented to acquire data from analytical ultracentrifugation experiments by computer using the absorption optical scanning system of the Beckman Model-E ultracentrifuge. A computer program was written which analyzes sedimentation velocity experiments by the van Holde - Weischet method and by the second moment method. The van Holde -...

  • Algorithms for string matching with applications in molecular biology

    Creator:
    Holloway, James Lee
    Abstract:
    As the volume of genetic sequence data increases due to improved sequencing techniques and increased interest, the computational tools available to analyze the data are becoming inadequate. This thesis seeks to improve a few of the computational methods available to access and analyze data in the genetic sequence databases. The...

  • Mechanistic studies of polyhalogenated benzenes

    Creator:
    Herbelin, Sharon Maley
    Abstract:
    Polyhalogenated benzenes have been analyzed by standard electron capture chemical ionization mass spectrometry (ECCI/MS), and electron monochromator mass spectrometer (EM/MS) systems. The EM/MS experiments distinguished electronegative compounds (especially isomers) by transient negative ions (TNIs) of the same mass but differing energies and/or the formation of distinct TNIs of different masses...

  • Schedule-based material requirements planning : an artificial intelligence approach

    Creator:
    Kim, Sunuk
    Abstract:
    The objective of this research project was to identify the limitations associated with schedule-based Material Requirements Planning (SBMRP) and to present a knowledge-based expert system (KBES) approach to solve these problems. In SBMRP, the basic strategy is to use backward or forward scheduling based on an arbitrary dispatching rule, such...

  • On resource placements and fault-tolerant broadcasting in toroidal networks

    Creator:
    AlMohammad, Bader Fahed AlBedaiwi
    Abstract:
    Parallel computers are classified into: Multiprocessors, and multicomputers. A multiprocessor system usually has a shared memory through which its processors can communicate. On the other hand, the processors of a multicomputer system communicate by message passing through an interconnection network. A widely used class of interconnection networks is the toroidal...

  • 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...

  • Knowledge-based decision model construction for hierarchical diagnosis and repair

    Creator:
    Yuan, Soe-Tsyr
    Abstract:
    Knowledge-Based Model Construction (KBMC) has generated a lot of attention due to its importance as a technique for generating probabilistic or decision-theoretic models whose range of applicability in AI has been vastly increased. However, no one has tried to analyze the essential issues in KBMC, to determine if there exists...
