Radial basis function methods for multivariable approximation
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Applied Mathematics & Theoretical Physics, 1988-11-15)
Using CAMAC hardware for access to a particle accelerator
(1988)
The design and implementation of a method to software interface high level applications programs used for the control and monitoring of a Particle Accelerator is described. Effective methods of interfacing the instrumentation ...
Writing and Representation
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1988-09)
This paper collects several notes I've written over the last year in an attempt to work through my dissatisfactions with the ideas about representation I was taught in school. Among these ideas are the notion of a 'world ...
Analyzing the State Behavior of Programs
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1988-08)
It is generally agreed that the unrestricted use of state can make a program hard to understand, hard to compile, and hard to execute, and that these difficulties increase in the presence of parallel hardware. This problem ...
Parallel Flow Graph Matching for Automated Program Recognition
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1988-07)
A flow graph matching algorithm has been implemented on the Connection Machine which employs parallel techniques to allow efficient subgraph matching. By constructing many different matchings in parallel, the algorithm is ...
Support for Obviously Synchonizable Series Expressions in Pascal
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1988-11)
Obviously synchronizable series expressions enable programmers to write algorithms as straightforward compositions of functions rather than as less comprehensible loops while retaining the significantly higher efficiency ...
A Counterexample to the Theory that Vision Recovers Three-Dimensional Scenes
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1988-11)
The problem of three-dimensional vision is generally formulated as the problem of recovering the three-dimensional scene that caused the image. Here we present a certain line-drawing and show that it has the following ...
How to do Research At the MIT AI Lab
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1988-10)
This document presumptuously purports to explain how to do research. We give heuristics that may be useful in pickup up specific skills needed for research (reading, writing, programming) and for understanding and enjoying ...
The development of an expert system shell with a mixed knowledge representation, explicit control of reasoning and a truth maintenance system
(1988)
This thesis concentrates on several important issues in expert system research, namely - representation of knowledge - control of reasoning - implementation of non-monotonic logics via truth maintenance systems. There are ...
An Estelle compiler
(1988)
The increasing development and use of computer networks has necessitated international standards to be defined. Central to the standardization efforts is the concept of a Formal Description Technique (FDT) which is used ...
