Evaluation of a multiprogramming time sharing system through simulation.
(1975)
The thesis describes the design and implementation of a simulation model. The model is patterned after the EXEC-8 multiprogramming time sharing operating system on the UNIVAC 1106 computer at the computer centre of the ...
Assigning Hierarchical Descriptions to Visual Assemblies of Blocks with Occlusion
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1975-10)
This memo describes a program for parsing simple two-dimensional piles of blocks into plausible nested subassemblies. Each subassembly must be one of a few types known to the program, such as stack, tower, or arch. Each ...
One System for Two Tasks: A Commonsense Algorithm Memory that Solves Problems and Comprehends Language
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1975-11)
Plan synthesis and language comprehension, or more generally, the act of discovering how one perception relates to others, are two sides of the same coin, because they both rely on a knowledge of cause and effect - algorithmic ...
The Intersection Problem
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1975-11)
This paper is intended as a supplement to AI MEMO 331, "A System for Representing and Using Real-World Knowledge". It is an attempt to redefine and clarify what I now believe the central theme of the research to be. Briefly, ...
Garbage Collection in a Very Large Address Space
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1975-09)
The address space is broken into areas that can be garbage collected separately. An area is analogous to a file on current systems. Each process has a local computation area for its stack and temporary storage that is ...
The Fundamental Eel Equations
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1975-12)
Details of the kinematics, statics, and dynamics of a particularly simple form of locomotory system are developed to demonstrate the importance of understanding the behavior of the mechanical system interposed between the ...
