  • IGS - a lesson generating system for computer assisted instruction

    Creator:
    Liu, Min-Hsiang
    Abstract:
    This paper describes a Lesson Generating System for CAI, which, by relieving the course author from the burden of programming, provides an efficient means for developing courseware to augment classroom instruction.

  • Parallel simplex algorithms and loop spreading

    Creator:
    Wu, Youfeng
    Abstract:
    Parallel solutions for two classes of linear programs are presented. First we parallelized the two-phase revised simplex algorithm and showed that it is possible to get linear improvement in performance. The simplex algorithm is the best known algorithm for solving linear programs, and we claim our result is the best...

  • 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....

  • Concept coverage and its application to two learning tasks

    Creator:
    Almuallim, Hussein Saleh
    Abstract:
    The coverage of a learning algorithm is the number of concepts that can be learned by that algorithm from samples of a given size for given accuracy and confidence parameters. This thesis begins by asking whether good learning algorithms can be designed by maximizing their coverage. There are three questions...

  • Generalizing abstractions in form-based visual programming languages : from direct manipulation to static representation

    Creator:
    Yang, Sherry
    Abstract:
    We believe concreteness, direct manipulation and responsiveness in a visual programming language increase its usefulness. However, these characteristics present a challenge in generalizing programs for reuse, especially when concrete examples are used as one way of achieving concreteness. In this thesis, we present a technique to solve this problem by...

  • A browser-based tool for designing query interfaces to scientific databases

    Creator:
    Newsome, Mark Ronald, 1960-
    Abstract:
    Scientists in the biological sciences need to retrieve information from a variety of data collections, traditionally maintained in SQL databases, in order to conduct research. Because current assistant tools are designed primarily for business and financial users, scientists have been forced to use the notoriously difficult command-line SQL interface, supplied...

  • Similarity inheritance : a model of inheritance for declarative visual programming languages

    Creator:
    Djang, Rebecca W. (Rebecca Walpole)
    Abstract:
    Declarative visual programming languages (VPLs), including spreadsheets, make up a large portion of both research and commercial VPLs. Spreadsheets in particular enjoy a wide audience, including end users. Unfortunately, spreadsheets and most other declarative VPLs still suffer from some of the problems that have been solved in other languages, such...

  • Temporal programming in grid-oriented visual programming languages

    Creator:
    Cao, Nanyu
    Abstract:
    Specifying varying speeds and temporal relationships is necessary when programming graphical animations, but support for temporal programming has usually been done by adding new language features to a Visual Programming Language (VPL), and these features must be mastered over and above the other aspects of the VPL. However, some researchers...

  • End-user programming in time : implementation and empirical studies

    Creator:
    Arredondo-Castro, Miguel A.
    Abstract:
    The temporal behavior in applications involving visual data can be critical for the correctness of some programs. Forms/3 allows the user to specify temporal behaviors in an independent way, without introducing extraneous code in the original spreadsheet, whereas some other languages define new language devices specific to time. In this...
