Learning Languages And Functions By Erasing, Sanjay Jain, Efim Kinber, Steffen Lange, Rolf Wiehagen, Thomas Zeugmann Jun 2000

Learning Languages And Functions By Erasing, Sanjay Jain, Efim Kinber, Steffen Lange, Rolf Wiehagen, Thomas Zeugmann

School of Computer Science & Engineering Faculty Publications

Learning by erasing means the process of eliminating potential hypotheses from further consideration thereby converging to the least hypothesis never eliminated. This hypothesis must be a solution to the actual learning problem. The capabilities of learning by erasing are investigated in relation to two factors: the choice of the overall hypothesis space itself and what sets of hypotheses must or may be erased. These learning capabilities are studied for two fundamental kinds of objects to be learned, namely languages and functions. For learning languages by erasing, the case of learning indexed families is investigated. A complete picture of all separations …

Mpj: Mpi-Like Message Passing For Java, Bryan Carpenter, Vladimir Getov, Glenn Judd, Anthony Skjellum, Geoffrey C. Fox Jan 2000

Mpj: Mpi-Like Message Passing For Java, Bryan Carpenter, Vladimir Getov, Glenn Judd, Anthony Skjellum, Geoffrey C. Fox

Northeast Parallel Architecture Center

Recently, there has been a lot of interest in using Java for parallel programming. Efforts have been hindered by lack of standard Java parallel programming APIs. To alleviate this problem, various groups started projects to develop Java message passing systems modeled on the successful Message Passing Interface (MPI). Official MPI bindings are currently defined only for C, Fortran, and C++, so early MPI-like environments for Java have been divergent. This paper related an effort undertaken by a working group of the Java Grande Forum, seeking a consensus on an MPI-like API, to enhance the viability of parallel programming using Java.

An Hpspmd Programming Model, Bryan Carpenter, Geoffrey C. Fox, Guansong Zhang Jan 2000

An Hpspmd Programming Model, Bryan Carpenter, Geoffrey C. Fox, Guansong Zhang

Northeast Parallel Architecture Center

Building on research carried out in the Parallel Compiler Runtime Consortium (PCRC) project, this article discusses a language model that combines characteristic data-parallel features from the HPF standard with an explicitly SPMD programming style. This model, which we call the HPspmd model, is designed to facilitate direct calls to established libraries for parallel programming with distributed data. We describe a Java-based HPspmd language called HPJava.

Masterpiece: Computer-Generated Music Through Fractals And Genetic Theory, Amanda Broyles Jan 2000

Masterpiece: Computer-Generated Music Through Fractals And Genetic Theory, Amanda Broyles

Honors Theses

A wide variety of computer-generated music exists. I have writ.ten a program which will generate music by using genetic theory and fractals. The genetic theory is used to mold input pieces into a musical motif. The motif is then elaborated by the fractal formula into a composition. A brief introduction to the world of genetic theory and fractals is given. Analysis of a musical work produced in this manner shows coherent patterns and also emotion.

Multicast Services For Multimedia Collaborative Applications, Emad Eldin Mohamed Mohamed Jan 2000

Multicast Services For Multimedia Collaborative Applications, Emad Eldin Mohamed Mohamed

Computer Science Theses & Dissertations

This work aims at providing multicast services for multimedia collaborative applications over large inter-networks such as the Internet. Multimedia collaborative applications are typically of small group size, slow group membership dynamics, and awareness of participants' identities and locations. Moreover, they usually consist of several components such as audio, video, shared whiteboard, and single user application sharing engines that collectively help make the collaboration session successful. Each of these components has its demands from the communication layer that may differ from one component to another. This dissertation identifies the overall characteristics of multimedia collaborative applications and their individual components. It also …

Extending Traditional Static Analysis Techniques To Support Development, Testing And Maintenance Of Component-Based Solutions, Robert David Cherinka Jan 2000

Extending Traditional Static Analysis Techniques To Support Development, Testing And Maintenance Of Component-Based Solutions, Robert David Cherinka

Computer Science Theses & Dissertations

Traditional static code analysis encompasses a mature set of techniques for helping understand and optimize programs, such as dead code elimination, program slicing, and partial evaluation (code specialization). It is well understood that compared to other program analysis techniques (e.g., dynamic analysis), static analysis techniques do a reasonable job for the cost associated with implementing them. Industry and government are moving away from more ‘traditional’ development approaches towards component-based approaches as ‘the norm.’ Component-based applications most often comprise a collection of distributed object-oriented components such as forms, code snippets, reports, modules, databases, objects, containers, and the like. These components are …
