  • Bayesian methods for knowledge transfer and policy search in reinforcement learning

    Creator:
    Wilson, Aaron
    Abstract:
    How can an agent generalize its knowledge to new circumstances? To learn effectively an agent acting in a sequential decision problem must make intelligent action selection choices based on its available knowledge. This dissertation focuses on Bayesian methods of representing learned knowledge and develops novel algorithms that exploit the represented...

  • Scheduling non-uniform parallel loops on MIMD computers

    Creator:
    Liu, Jie
    Abstract:
    Parallel loops are one of the main sources of parallelism in scientific applications, and many parallel loops do not have a uniform iteration execution time. To achieve good performance for such applications on a parallel computer, iterations of a parallel loop have to be assigned to processors in such a...

  • Structuring Teachable Knowledge through Program-Concept Classifications

    Creator:
    Wilson, Benjamin F.
    Abstract:
    Teaching CS is a challenging task, especially for those without prior programming experience. Even for veteran educators, having to learn CS concepts while also trying to teach those same concepts is difficult; as is the case for many K-12 CS instructors. Unfortunately, there is often no formalized order with CS...

  • Autonomous Controls System for Global Formula Racing

    Creator:
    Bishnu, Deven A.
    Abstract:
    This project focuses on implementing a model predictive control (MPC) algorithm as a pathfinding algorithm for navigating tracks with the Oregon State University Global Formula Racing (GFR) team's driverless car. The new algorithm would use an optimization function to calculate the least-cost path for the car to take by assigning...

  • Specifications for a fuzzy system modeling language

    Creator:
    Fellinger, William Lowell
    Abstract:
    Specifications for a simulation language capable of modeling fuzzy systems are presented. Actions occurring in the running model are to be displayed on a graphics terminal in the .form of modified E-nets. The concept of partial execution of predicates is introduced in connection with the underlying continuously valued logic. Fuzzy...

  • Single fault detection in combinational logic circuits

    Creator:
    Medhekar, Ranjana A.
    Abstract:
    The material in this paper is divided into the following four chapters for convenience. Chapter 1 explains, how the idea of fault testing changed from testing the machine instructions to testing the hardware in logic circuits. Chapters 2, 3 and 4 present the different approaches considered, namely: 1. Path sensitizing...

  • Computer performance and evaluation utilizating the resource planning and management system

    Creator:
    Elliott, Jimmie Lynn
    Abstract:
    A review of current computer performance and evaluation techniques reveals a lack of an acceptable analytic tool for optimal computer system performance and evaluation. A generalized approach to the formulation of a third generation computer system model is proposed. The approach is used to optimize computer resource utilization and to...

  • The design of fault detection experiments for sequential machines using homogeneous distinguishing sequences

    Creator:
    Holt, John Douglas
    Abstract:
    The design of checking experiments for sequential machines which do not initially have a distinguishing sequence is investigated. Improvem,Jnts are suggested to an existing method for augmenting the output logic so that the machine acquires homogeneous distinguishing sequences. To indicate how the procedure may be implemented on a computer, elements...
