SSDE : structured software development environment
(1990)
Software engineers have identified many problem areas regarding the development of software. There is a need for improving system and program quality at design level, ensuring that design costs remain within the budget, ...
The complexity of Petri net transformations
(1993)
This study investigates the complexity of various reduction and synthesis Petri net transformations. Transformations that preserve liveness and boundedness are considered. Liveness and boundedness are possibly the two most ...
A distributed computing environment (DCE) based object request broker
(1996)
Object oriented technology has moved beyond being a tool for design and programming and is now being used to implement enterprise wide computer systems. Also, there has been a move from centralised mainframe systems to ...
Capture It, Name It, Own it: How to capture re-occurring patterns, name them and turn them into reusable functions via Emacs kbd-macros
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1992-05)
The purpose of this talk is not to teach you about Emacs or Emacs kbd-macros, though we will use both as examples. I can teach you everything there is to know about Emacs and kbd-macros in 5 minutes. There are literally ...
Tomorrow's Surgery: Micromotors and Microrobots
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1992-07)
Surgical procedures have changed radically over the last few years due to the arrival of new technology. What will technology bring us in the future?
This paper examines a few of the forces whose timing are causing new ...
Fine Grained Robotics
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1991-02)
Fine grained robotics is the idea of solving problems utilizing multitudes of very simple machines in place of one large complex entity. Organized in the proper way, simple machines and simple behaviors can lead to emergent ...
A User's Guide to the AI Lab: Getting Started at Tech Square
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1991-08-18)
Correction of Force Errors for Flexible Manipulators in Quasi-Static Conditions
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1990-12)
This paper deals with the problem of controlling the interactions of flexible manipulators with their environment. For executing a force control task, a manipulator with intrinsic (mechanical) compliance has some advantages ...
The Evolution of Society
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1991-08-05)
We re-examine the evolutionary stability of the tit-for-tat (tft) strategy in the context of the iterated prisoner's dilemma, as introduced by Axelrod and Hamilton. This environment involves a mixture of populations of ...
Injection Molding at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1995-02-23)
This paper describes the injection molding equipment at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab and how to use it. Topic covered include mold design, insert molding, safety, and material properties.
