A Tutorial On Lisp Object-Oriented Programming For Blackboard Computation (Solving The Radar Tracking Problem) , P. R. Kersten, A. C. Kak Jul 1993

A Tutorial On Lisp Object-Oriented Programming For Blackboard Computation (Solving The Radar Tracking Problem) , P. R. Kersten, A. C. Kak

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

This exposition is a tutorial on how object-oriented programming (OOP) in Lisp can be used for programming a blackboard. Since we have used Common Lisp and the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS), the exposition demonstrates how object classes and the primary, before, and after methods associated with the classes can be used for this purpose. The reader should note that the different approaches to object-oriented programming share considerable similarity and, therefore, the exposition should be helpful to even those who may not wish to use CLOS. We have used the radar tracking problem as a 'medium' for explaining the concepts …


The Use Of Predicates In Ll(K) And Lr(K) Parser Generators (Technical Summary) , T. J. Parr, R. W. Quong, H. G. Dietz Jul 1993

The Use Of Predicates In Ll(K) And Lr(K) Parser Generators (Technical Summary) , T. J. Parr, R. W. Quong, H. G. Dietz

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Although existing LR(1) or U(1) parser generators suffice for many language recognition problems, writing a straightforward grammar to translate a complicated language, such as C++ or even C, remains a non-trivial task. We have often found that adding translation actions to the grammar is harder than writing the grammar itself. Part of the problem is that many languages are context-sensitive. Simple, natural descriptions of these languages escape current language tool technology because they were not designed to handle semantic information. In this paper, we introduce predicated LR (k) and LL (k) parsers as a solution. Predicates provide a general, practical …

Pns Modules For The Synthesis Of Parallel Self-Organizing Hierarchical Neural Networks, Faramarz Valafar, Okan K. Ersoy Jun 1993

Pns Modules For The Synthesis Of Parallel Self-Organizing Hierarchical Neural Networks, Faramarz Valafar, Okan K. Ersoy

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

The PNS module is discussed as the building block for the synthesis of parallel, selforganizing, hierarchical, neural networks (PSHNN). The PNS consists of a prerejector (P-unit), a neural network (N-unit) and a statistical analysis unit (S-unit). The last two units together are also referred to as the NS unit. The P- and NS-units are fractile in nature, meaning that each such unit may itself consist of a number of parallel PNS modules. Through a mechanism of statistical acceptance or rejection of input vectors for classification, the sample space is divided into a number of subspaces. The input vectors belonging to …

Adaptive Control Of Redundant Multiple Robots In Cooperative Motion, Mohamed Zribi, Shaheen Ahmad, Shengwu Luo May 1993

Adaptive Control Of Redundant Multiple Robots In Cooperative Motion, Mohamed Zribi, Shaheen Ahmad, Shengwu Luo

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

A redundant robot has more degrees of freedom than what is needed to uniquely position the robot end-effector. In practical applications the extra degrees of fieedom increase the orientation and reach of the robot. The load carrying capacity of a single robot can be increased by cooperative manipulation of the load by two or more robots. In this paper we develop an adaptive control scheme for kinematically redundant multiple robots in cooperative motion. In a usual robotic task, only the end-effector position trajectory is specified The joint position trajectory will therefore be unknown, for a redundant multirobot system and it …

Lyapunov Based Control Of Multiple Flexible Joint Robots In Cooperative Motion, Mohamed Zribi, Shaheen Ahmad Mar 1993

Lyapunov Based Control Of Multiple Flexible Joint Robots In Cooperative Motion, Mohamed Zribi, Shaheen Ahmad

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

In this paper, we address the problem of controlling multiple flexible joint robots manipulating a common load cooperatively. The load position and velocity tracking errors are shown to converge to zero. The internal forces exerted on the load are also shown to converge to their desired trajectories. Asymptotic stability of the system is insured regardless of the joint flexibility and despite the fact that force sensors mounted on the robot wrist are not employed.

A Comparison Of Managers' Uncertainty Perceptions And Country Risk Indices, Kent D. Miller

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

This study compares mangers' perceptions of political, government policy, and macroeconomic uncertainties with the ratings provided by a professional rish assessment service. Survey data from six Latin American countries indicate rank orderings of the coutnries based on managers' uncertainty perceptions differ fromt he professional rish assessment ranking.


Central Bank's Expected Profits From Intervention, John A. Carlson, Insook Kim Jan 1993

Central Bank's Expected Profits From Intervention, John A. Carlson, Insook Kim

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

A leaning-against-the wind intervention that has only a temporary effect on the exchange rate and that is not too aggressive can be shown analytically to yield positive expected profits to a central bank even when the exchange-rate process is non-stationary. These profits arise if there are some transitory shocks to the exchange rate. Furthermore, very aggressive intervention will yeild positive expected profits eventually when there is a tendency for exchange rates to return to a long-run equilibrium level.
