In an earlier paper we developed an intermediate representation for languages based on composition, and showed how the representation could facilitate generating code for functional languages, such as FP. In this paper we follow the same philosophical approach, using instead the applicative language APL. Further, we show how this intermediate...
The lambda calculus has frequently been used as an intermediate representation for programming languages, particularly for functional programming language systems. We introduce two simple extensions to the lambda calculus that describe potentially parallel computations. These extensions permit us to use the lambda calculus as an intermediate form for languages that...
This paper introduces the even-odd POMDP an approximation to POMDPs Partially Observable Markov Decision Problems in which the world is assumed to be fully observable every other time step. This approximation works well for problems with a delayed need to observe. The even-odd POMDP can be converted into an equivalent...
This paper introduces the even-odd POMDP, an approximation to POMDPs in which the world is assumed to be fully observable every other time step. The even-odd POMDP can be converted into an equivalent MDP, the
2MDP, whose value function, V*[subscript 2MDP], can be combined online with a 2-step lookahead search...
Sustainable aquaculture can be achieved when risk and uncertainly are incorporated in the analysis of the activity. This paper presents a precautionary approach to the feasibility analysis of a project for a commercial hatchery, applying decision theory. Two production scenarios were assessed, continuous and periodic, the later a combination of...
Recent work in the domain of fisheries ecology has shown that major changes are occurring in fish
communities exploited by commercial fisheries. Selective fishing pressure on more highly valued
components of fish communities, and its indirect effects via trophic interactions, are amongst the key
factors proposed to explain these changes....
