Finding Components on a Circuit Board
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1973-09)
This paper describes a set of programs written in LISP that recognize resistors on circuit boards. The approach leans heavily on a thorough examination of the features found in representative intensity arrays and on ...
The TRACK Program Package
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1973-08)
A collection of LISP functions has been written to provide vidisector users with the following three line-oriented vision primitives:
(i) given an initial point and an estimated initial direction, track a line in that ...
Tracking Wires on Printed Circuit Boards
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1973-10)
This working paper describes a collection of LISP programs written to examine the backs of printed circuit boards. These programs find and trace the conductive wires plated on the insulating material. The "pads", or solder ...
Does Vision Need a Special-purpose Language?
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1973-09)
This paper briefly discusses the following questions: What are the benefits of special-purpose languages? When is a field ready for such a language? Are any parts of our current vision research ready?
Active Knowledge
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1973-10)
A progress report on the work described in Vision Flashes 33 and 43 on recognition of real objects. Emphasis is on the "active" use of knowledge in directing the flow of visual processing.
A Fair Power Domain for Actor Computations
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1979-06)
Actor-based languages feature extreme concurrency, allow side effects, and specify a form of fairness which permits unbounded nondeterminism. This makes it difficult to provide a satisfactory mathematical foundation for ...
Towards a Better Definition of Transactions
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1979-05)
This paper builds on a technical report written by Carl Hewitt and Henry Baker called "Actors and Continuous Functionals". What is called a "goal-oriented activity" in that paper will be referred to in this paper as a ...
Security and Modularity in Message Passing
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1979-02)
This paper addresses theoretical issues involved for the implementation of security and modularity in concurrent systems. It explicates the theory behind a mechanism for safely delegating messages to shared handlers in ...
Evolutionary Programming with the Aid of A Programmers' Apprentice
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1979-05)
Preliminary Design of the APIARY for VLSI Support of Knowledge-Based Systems
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1979-06)
Knowledge-based applications will require vastly increased computational resources to achieve their goals. We are working on the development of a VLSI Message Passing Architecture to meet this need. As a first step we ...
