  • MARLA : a chess playing program

    Creator:
    Rood, Andrew Lloyd
    Abstract:
    MARLA is a collection of FORTRAN routines which implements the Shannon-type-chess program with alphabeta cutoffs occurring dynamically. Board positions are updated incrementally. Also involved in position analysis is a production system which models the human chess player's advice-taking, theme, and chess learning in a general sense. Interfacing these two sections,...

  • Guarantees and requirements : implementation and complexity analysis of a new model of types for declarative visual programming languages

    Creator:
    Chen, Roger Ding-Fu
    Abstract:
    Djang et al. [1998] introduced a new model of types for declarative visual programming languages (VPLs). Implicit static typing is used in their type model, in order to eliminate the programming mechanisms associated with type declarations, provide immediate visual feedback with respect to type errors and guarantee type safe programs....

  • An Exploration Into The Ever-changing Expanse of Non-periodic Tilings

    Creator:
    Tassin, Ian
    Abstract:
    This paper synthesizes various works Wang tiles up to this point, including: the reduction from the Halting Problem to Wang Tiling Problem and notions around various aspects of periodicity, including minimal period, aperiodicity, and axis-aligned periodicity. Additionally it includes new work, including: a proof that a tiling can be periodic...

  • AI, Robot: A Rhetorical Analysis of Jeopardy! Matches Featuring IBM’s Artificial Intelligence

    Creator:
    Steele, Evan T.
    Abstract:
    The relationship between the public and new technologies has historically been a tumultuous one, with public perceptions ranging from excited rapid adoption to standoffish pessimism. In 2011, IBM tried to use competition as a means of showcasing a new technology to the public. This thesis is a work of rhetorical...

  • 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...

  • Analytical Methods for Improving Causal Inference

    Creator:
    Sinha, Meghamala
    Abstract:
    Causal inference is an important analytical tool to bridge the gap between prediction and decision-making. However, learning a causal network solely from data is a challenging task. In this work, various techniques have been explored for a better and improved causal network learning from data. Firstly, the problem of learning...

  • Electra : integrating constraints, condition-based dispatching, and features exclusion into the multiparadigm language Leda

    Creator:
    Zamel, Nabil M.
    Abstract:
    Multiparadigm languages are languages that are designed to support more than one style of programming. Leda is a strongly-typed multiparadigm programming language that supports imperative, functional, object-oriented, and logic programming. The constraint programming paradigm is a declarative style of programming where the programmer is able to state relationships among some...

  • G, a language based on demand-driven stream evaluations

    Creator:
    Placer, John R.
    Abstract:
    A programming paradigm can be defined as a model or an approach employed in solving a problem. The results of the research described in this document demonstrate that it is possible to unite several different programming paradigms into a single linguistic framework. The imperative, procedural, applicative, lambda-free, relational, logic and...

  • LacEDAemon : a programming environment for the multiparadigm language leda

    Creator:
    Pandey, Rajeev K.
    Abstract:
    Multiparadigm programming languages are a recent development in the realm of programming languages. A multiparadigm programming language allows the use of multiple, differing programming paradigms without departing from a single, unified linguistic framework. Multiparadigm programming languages are claimed to have benefits to both pedagogy and complex application creation. The beneficial...

  • Implementing remote laboratories for control engineering : foundations for distance learning

    Creator:
    Bohus, Carisa
    Abstract:
    Distance learning enables students to study effectively from remote locations. With televised lectures now commonplace, many disciplines can provide effective distance learning. While the lecture format serves many disciplines, it does not serve those that require laboratory work. Currently, there is little distance learning support for laboratory work. Second Best...
