Programming assignments are tested and run on;interactive, stand-alone microcomputers.;Alternative version of COM S 100, emphasizing examples and applications;involving continuous mathematics, including trigonometry and calculus.;CS100B vs. CS100A;Computer Science 100b basically teaches the same material as CS100a. There are;a some differences, though (besides the last letter). CS100b assumes the;knowledge and/or familiarity with continuous math (as opposed to discrete one),;including trigonometry and calculus. One might wonder what that means in a;programming course. Well, computer science and math interact in many ways and;CS100b introduces one of them - scientific computing. This does not mean that;CS100a is `easier' than CS100b. It means that if you think you are comfortable;with integrals, derivatives, etc., CS100b will show you ways of applying your;knowledge to computer programming. The point of it is not necessarily to;test that knowledge, but rather expand it and apply it. I would;like to encourage people who think they would;qualify to take this course. Continuous math might not sound that attractive,;but you can only benefit with this choice. It is often hard to find good;examples of `real world' problems in an intro course for CS, but CS100b finds;one. If you are not sure whether you `qualify', please talk to the instructor;(Prof. Zabih), and ask him for an opinion.;Besides that, there is a slight difference in the topics taught in 100b and;100a (although, for the most part they coincide one with another). If you;already know a bit about C, CS100b will spend some more time on pointers and;the model of the language itself. If you don't know what this means, it doesn't;matter - just disregard the last sentence.;Grading Policies;Grades for CS100B will be computed as follows:;CS100B course grades;Programs20%;Prelim 110%;Prelim 220%;Prelim 320%;Final 30%;Graded assignments and exams will be returned in sections.

We use;the Dylan language, an object oriented dynamic language developed;at Apple Computer, which is well suited for covering a broad range;of introductory computer science topics. This is not a course;about the Dylan language, it just happens to be the ""notation"";that we have chosen for writing programs. The major goals of;the course are to teach students how to think clearly about programs;and programming, and to provide a toolbox of modern programming;techniques that will be applicable in any language.;What course to take: Students often wonder whether to take;CS211 or CS212. CS211 focuses on programming skills in the object-oriented;language Java, whereas CS212 provides exposure to a broad range;of computational and programming problems, using a number of programming;paradigms including functional, object-oriented and imperative;programming techniques. If you have a good CS background or good;formal skills (e.g., mathematics or physics) you should probably;take CS212. Transfers between CS211 and CS212 (in either direction);are encouraged during the first two weeks.;Reaching Us;The best way to reach the course staff is by posting questions;or comments using the CS212 Web site http://www.cs.cornell.edu/Info/Courses/Current/CS212/; This site contains all course materials, and runs a CoNote server;which allows students and staff to post questions and answers;as ""annotations"" to the handouts and problem sets.;In order to access the Web site you will need to request a user-id;and password for the CoNote system. To do this, simply go to;the CS212 home page and follow the instructions. Your user-id;and password will be created by Monday if you request them this;week.;You can also reach the course staff is by sending email to cs212@cs.cornell.edu;but this should not be used for asking questions about;problem sets or handouts (use the Web site).;Who We Are;Dan Huttenlocher, Professor, 4119 Upson;Tobias Mayr, TA, 5148 Upson;James Hamblin, ugrad TA;Robert Szewczyk, ugrad TA;Justin Voskuhl, ugrad TA;Andras Ferencz, consultant; Melissa Ho, consultant;When We Meet;Lectures are Tuesday and Thursday at 10:10, in B11 Kimball and;recitations are Monday and Wednesday at 1:25, 2:30 or 3:35. Recitations;expand on the material in lecture, and provide more opportunity;to ask questions.;Consulting hours, for help with problem sets or other questions,;will be held from 7pm until midnight the two evenings before each;problem set is due (see schedule below). Thus for problem sets;due on a Tuesday there will be consulting hours Sunday and Monday;evenings and for those due on a Thursday there will be consulting;hours Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. Consulting hours are in;the public Mac lab in B7 Upson.;Office hours are: James Hamblin TBA, Dan Huttenlocher T 1:00-2:00,;Tobias Mayr F 12:15-1:15, Robert Szewczyk TBA, Justin Voskuhl;TBA.;Course Materials;There is no textbook for this course. There will be course handouts;and lecture notes, which will be available both in hardcopy and;on the course Web site.;The Dylan interpreter is available free on the course Web site,;and was developed by Justin Voskuhl for this class. It is implemented;in Java, and thus will run under any Java capable Web browser.; The best current browser (it changes almost weekly) is Netscape;3.0 for Windows95/NT, which has Borland's just-in-time Java compiler.; There are also standalone versions available that you can download;onto your computer if you do not want to use the Web browser version.; One word of warning: if you download a standalone Dylan onto;your machine, make sure that you are using the most recent;version by checking the web site.;Course Requirements;Students are responsible for all material in the assigned readings,;as well as that covered in lectures and in recitations. There;will be six problem sets, two preliminary exams, and a final exam;(a schedule is given below). Each problem set will be a combination;of written exercises and a programming assignment. Course grades;will be based on a combination of the problem sets and exam scores.; The problem sets will account for approximately one half of the;total grade. No late assignments will be accepted (we will;generally grade assignments immediately and return them the following;class period).;You should try to complete the programming assignments early,;as we will not accept late work. The best use of your time and;the machine's time is to think about the problems before sitting;down at the computer. [No matter how many times we say this,;it takes a long time to sink in; think about the problems before;sitting down at the computer.];Policy on Joint Work;Much of the learning in this course comes from doing the programming;problems. You may work jointly with one other person on the assignments;(no more than two people should work together). However, if you;work together with someone, you must submit a single joint;assignment with both names on it. Under no circumstances;may you hand in work done with (or by) someone else under your;own name. If in doubt, credit the person(s) from whom you;got help. You would be amazed at how easy it is to tell when;people work together on problem sets, so please don't make life;unpleasant for all of us by breaking these rules.;Public Lab Facilities;CIT and various colleges on campus provide public Macintosh and;PC facilities, you may use your own machine or the public ones.; The CS department does not provide computer facilities for this;course. The course consultants will be available in the B7 Upson;Mac lab (see above).;Problem Set Due Dates and Exam Dates;All problem sets are due before 2am on the due date. For example,;an assignment due Tuesday must be submitted electronically to;the course server by 2am on Tuesday (that is late Monday;night). No late assignments are accepted, so make sure you submit;your final solution by the correct time and date.;[9/12] Assignment 1;[9/24] Assignment 2;[10/8] Assignment 3;[10/17] Prelim 1, 7:30pm;[10/29] Assignment 4;[11/12] Assignment 5;[11/19] Prelim 2, 7:30pm;[12/5] Assignment 6;[12/19] Final Exam -- see exam schedule;Lecture Outline; [8/29] The Study of Computation, and an Introduction to Dylan; [9/3] Function Abstraction and the Substitution Model of Evaluation; [9/5] Procedures and Processes: Iteration, Recursion and Induction; [9/10] Higher Order Procedures: Functional Arguments and Values; [9/12] Analysis of Algorithms: Orders of Growth; [9/17] Data Abstraction: Structures, Contracts and Implementations; [9/19] Hierarchical Data: Lists, Trees and the need for Quotation; [9/24] Recursive List Processing and Reasoning about Lists; [9/26] Symbolic Differentiation: An Extended Example; [10/1] Generic Operations: Type Dispatching and Generic Functions; [10/3] Generic Operations: Polynomial Arithmetic System; [10/8] Assignment and the Environment Model of Evaluation; [10/10] Assignment and Local State Variables; [10/17] Objects with State and Object Oriented Programming; [10/22] Object Oriented Programming and Inheritance; [10/24] Multimethods and More About Object Oriented Programming; [10/29] Mutable Data: Stacks and Queues; [10/31] Mutable Data: Heaps, Heapsort and Priority Queues; [11/5] The Metacircular Evaluator: Dylan in Dylan; [11/7] Variations on Expression Evaluation; [11/12] Compilation and Optimization; [11/14] Streams; [11/19] Infinite Streams; [11/21] Nonlocal Exits: Catch and Throw; [11/26] Garbage Collection and the Illusion of Infinite Memory; [12/3] Topics in CS: Randomization and Quicksort; [12/5] Topics in CS: Computability;",course,16,2,7923,[15] +http://www.cs.cornell.edu/info/courses/current/cs280/cs280.html,"CS280: Discrete Structures; CS280: Discrete Structures;Course Information;Instructor:;Professor Sam Toueg; Upson 4106; Tel: 255-9197;sam@cs.cornell.edu; Office Hours: Monday 2:30pm-3:30pm, Wednesday 3pm-4pm, or by appointment.;Teaching Assistants:; Debra Goldberg; Rhodes (Theory Center) 657; Tel: 255-8272;debra@cam.cornell.edu; Office Hours: Tuesday 12:00-2:00 pm and Wednesday 4:00-5:00 pm in Upson 343A.; NOTE: Next Tuesday, 11/26, the office hours will end;at 1:30 pm.; Athanasios Kyparlis; Upson 4162; Tel: 255-2219;kyparlis@cs.cornell.edu; Office Hours: Thursday 1:00-3:00 pm and Friday 11:00 am - 12:00 noon in Upson 343A.;Newsflash (November 15);Prelim 1 grades are posted in front of Upson 303 (October 17);Additional Consulting Hours (October 4);Announcements;Handouts;Reading Assignments;Homeworks;Solutions;Announcements;Please remember to return your homework in the;yellow ""campus mail'' envelope with your name written on it.;Handouts;Course Information;Questionnaire;Reading Assignments;Sections 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 (Friday, August 30).; Section 3.2 (Monday, September 2).; Section 3.3 (Wednesday, September 11).; Sections 3.4 and 3.5 (Monday, September 16).; Sections 1.1 and 1.2 (Wednesday, September 18).; Section 3.1 (Wednesday, October 1st).; Sections 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3 (Wednesday, October 23).; Section 4.6 (Friday, October 25).; Sections 5.4 and 5.5 (Friday, November 1st).; Sections 4.4 and 4.5 (Wednesday, November 6).; Sections 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 (Monday, November 18).;Homeworks;IMPORTANT: Unless we specify otherwise, in all homeworks and exams in;CS280 you should justify your answers with clear and rigorous proofs.;Grading will be according to the following criteria:;a. correctness and completeness, and;b. clarity, precision and conciseness.;Homework 1;Homework 2;Homework 3;Homework 4;Homework 5;Homework 6;Homework 7;Homework 8;Homework 9;Homework 10;Homework 11;Solutions;Solution of Homework 1;Solution of Homework 2;Solution of Homework 3;Solution of Homework 4;Solution of Homework 5;Solution of Homework 6;Solution of Prelim 1;Solution of Homework 7;Solution of Homework 8;Solution of Homework 9;Solution of Homework 10;Last updated on November 4, 1996;;Please comment to;cs280@cs.cornell.edu;",course,17,2,2229,[] +http://www.cs.cornell.edu/info/courses/current/cs401/home.html,"CS401/501 Home Page;;CS401/501 Home Page; Looking for ...; Admin handouts and information (incl.; TA office hours); Lecture notes; Assignment information; Recitation information; The Ethics, Professionalism, and Social; Responsibility Page;or maybe ...; Electronic Submission Procedure; Group Performance Evaluations; Web resources; Quotes and other fun stuff.; A collection of jokes has been started here.

It is intended;to give students a solid background in the design and development of database;management systems (DBMS's). Database systems are possibly the world's;largest pieces of software, and certainly among the most valuable pieces;of software. While a DBMS is in one sense a giant application program,;there are surprisingly many principles behind its development and use.;The database industry is growing and thriving, and the demand for knowledgeable;database engineers is much greater than the supply. The database research;community is also active, and there are always new problems to be addressed;because of the explosive amounts of data that people wish to access. This;course forms essential background for anyone who wants to (a) become a;systems engineer at a database development company, or (b) become an informed;user of database systems, or (c) become a database systems researcher,;or (d) develop systems in any domain that manipulate large amounts of data,;or (e) find out how a teller machine really works!;A number of ""advanced fundamental"" DBMS concepts will be covered.;Although this is not intended to be an introductory course, it is a new;course and there may be students in the class with different backgrounds.;Consequently, the discussion of various topics will begin with a quick;review of basic material taught in CS 432. Click here;for a tentative list of topics to be covered.;In terms of workload, here's what the course involves:;There will be a midterm and a final examination. These will test a;breadth of basic concepts.;Each student will have to do a survey paper on a specific advanced;topic. Here is a list of possible topics. The;purpose of this is to be aware that what is being taught in the course;is only a fraction of what is out there. This paper will be due three weeks;after the midterm, and should be complete with references. It will require;reading papers from journals and conference proceedings in the engineering;library. I will suggest initial references, and you will have to pursue;additional references from there. Click here for;information on reference material in the library.;A development project involving C++ programming. Look here;for more information.;There will be no written homework assignments.;Students take turns writing lecture notes. Depending on enrollment,;this means each person will have to take notes once or twice in the semester.;Hopefully, this additional work will turn out to be useful around exam;time. Here are the details (in .ps).; Development;Project;The term project is an important part of the course, and will involve;a significant amount of C++ programming. You can choose whether you wish;to work alone or in teams of two. However, the two-person projects will;involve proportionally more work. The goal of the project is two-fold:;(a) to get hands-on experience at building some specific DBMS component,;(b) to get comfortable working with a large pre-existing code-base, and;modifying it in a modular manner. The second goal is as important as the;first one, because all database systems are huge software systems, and;rarely do you have the luxury of starting from scratch. This forces you;to write modular code, and also to understand the interaction between the;different system components when the inevitable bugs appear.;There are two research DBMS prototypes that will be used in the projects.;One is MINIBASE, which is software associated with the textbook. It is;a simple single-user database system that provides all the components from;the SQL parser down to the disk manager. This should hopefully be available,;depending on our being able to compile and run it in our computing environment.;The important part of MINIBASE is the interface description of the various;system components. The actual code comes from class projects. Consequently,;projects using MINIBASE will involve writing a component (like the buffer;manager), based on a specification of its C++ interface.;The other prototype is PREDATOR, which is a query processing engine;that I have been developing for my research. There are a number of possible;projects (some of which could lead to research topics) that can be built;on top of PREDATOR. The focus here is on the high-end functionality like;complex queries and new data types.;If you are not familiar with C++, I recommend a MINIBASE project because;the amount of design needed is minimal. If you think you are interested;in database systems research, then you should do a PREDATOR project. If;you fall in neither category, then you should decide whether you want a;project at the lower-level DBMS (storage, access, buffer) areas, or the;higher-level (query processing, optimization) areas and choose between;MINIBASE (lower-level) and PREDATOR (higher-level). There are also some;general projects that involve neither system. If you have your own idea;on a suitable project, you should talk with me about it well in advance;of the project proposal date.;Here is a tentative list of possible projects.;In all the projects, there will be certain steps that should be followed:;As part of the project proposal, you should (discuss with me) and submit;an ordered list of pieces of functionality that the project will produce.;There will be a mid-project review in which you meet with me to discuss;the progress that you have made towards completing the project.;The code you write must follow the coding conventions of the particular;system that you are working on. A detailed coding conventions document;will be provided and should be followed closely. This is something that;I will be very picky on, and that will contribute to the grade you get;on the project.;Project submission should include a demo and a reasonable amount of;test data.;Some useful references are:;Home page for PREDATOR.;Home;page for MINIBASE.; Course;TextBook;The primary text is a beta edition of a new book on database systems;: ""Database Management Systems"" by Raghu Ramakrishnan. This book;contains many more details than are in most other introductory database;books. It is also associated with free software for an instructional database;system ""MINIBASE"",;which we might use in class assignments. The textbook is available in the;campus store for $46. Here are other textbooks which could be used as references:;Korth & Silberschatz: Database System Concepts.

The goal;of this course is not to conduct a broad survey of hi-tech programming;languages like C++, Java, or SML, nor to directly study implementation;mechanisms for these languages (e.g., compressed dispatch tables for multiple;inheritance). Rather, the goal of this course is to study;the principles;of formal notation for describing computations, and tools for analyzing;and proving properties of computations. These concerns subsume the;study of specific programming languages or implementation mechanisms;and hence lead to a deeper understanding of programming, specification,;logic, mathematics, and proof theory.;For example, we will study notations for abstractly specifying how;programs compute (operational semantics), as well as;notations for describing what programs compute;(denotational semantics). In turn, the abstract but precise;realization of these notations will allow us to study techniques;(induction, logical relations) for;formally proving interesting and relevant properties of;programming languages (e.g., type safety or compiler correctness).;Ideally, a student coming out of this course will have learned something;about how to make informal concepts and notation precise, and how to;manipulate the notation to demonstrate useful properties.; Textbooks:; Semantics of Programming Languages , Carl A.

This is underscored by the fact that;all system manufacturers offer multiprocessors at the top of their product;line. However, the debate on how the parallel machines of the future will;look like has heated-up considerably in the past few months: the federal;spending cuts are on their way to eradicate the performance-at-any-price;massively parallel processor (MPP) manufacturers. Competitors having bet;on glorified workstation farms are smiling: while their machines cannot;offer the same level of performance or ease of use, their business has not;suffered as much because these machines are more price competitive and can;leverage the latest microprocessor developments more quickly. At the core;of the technological debate lie a large number of systems issues: how to;integrate a large number of off-the-shelf processors into a cost-effective;system which can be easily programmed in high-level parallel programming;languages and which can host a varied application workload.;This course is not about how to program parallel machines (although some;of that will be the topic of the first few weeks). Parallel algorithms,;languages and architectures have matured considerably over the last few;years to the point where parallel machines are almost usable, if only the;system support were adequate to allow general-purpose use. This course;will focus on the architecture and operating system aspects required to;support features taken for granted in sequential computing such as;portable parallel programs, powerful debuggers, multi-user machine access,;virtual memory, and fast I/O.;The first part of the course will examine two complete parallel systems:;the CM-5 with Split-C and an ATM network of workstations with CC++. Using;a ``vertical'' approach we will study the interactions between algorithmic;models, languages, associated execution models, operating systems,;architectures and hardware implementations, focussing on the support;required for each of these layers. The second part of the course will;focus on specific topics and slice ``horizontally'' across systems,;selecting a few key issues for an analysis of the design alternatives.

Large masses of machine-readable text now exist that can be cheaply stored on high-density optical storage media and rapidly retrieved on demand. Furthermore, sophisticated methods are available for analyzing document texts, formulating appropriate user queries, conducting rapid file searches, and ranking the retrieved items in decreasing order of importance to the users.;At Cornell, we design and operate large, general-purpose text processing environments where texts can be handled without restrictions as to size or subject matter. In the absence of knowledge bases that would be useful for unrestricted text databases, we use corpus-based text analysis systems that determine the meaning of words and expressions by a refined context analysis using statistical and probabilistic criteria. Using the corpus-based approaches, we are able to determine text similarity with a high degree of accuracy. There are two main applications:;The automatic generation of structured text collections (hypertext) where semantically similar pieces of text are automatically linked. Hypertext representations of large databases provide flexible browsing capabilities for general-purpose text access.;The automatic retrieval of interesting text excerpts in response to available search queries.;We have done extensive work with an automated encyclopedia consisting of about 25,000 encyclopedia articles (the Funk and Wagnalls New Encyclopedia). In addition, we are also processing the TREC collection consisting of about 800,000 full-text documents covering a number of different subject areas (over 2 gigabytes of text).;A sophisticated search and retrieval service exists, as well as a text linking system capable of relating different text sections, paragraphs, and sentences.

In particular, for nonlinearly constrained problems, there do not exist acceptance conditions for optimality. I have been investigating a new affine scaling trust region method for minimizing a nonlinear I (sub-1) function; including a trust region convergence analysis. The method can be used to solve a general nonlinearly constrained minimization problem using an exact penalty approach.

The toolkit then converts the differential equations, via the supplied methods, into specialized code for the architecture. With colleagues in the department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, this toolkit has been used to generate the dynamical systems that arise in the study of the boundary layers in fluids.;A component of this toolkit is a computer algebra substrate called Weyl, that extends the data structures available in Common Lisp to include objects like polynomials, matrices, rational functions, rings, vector spaces, and ideals. The introduction of these new objects into a programming language provides a number of new challenges to the language's type system and provides new opportunities for deductive reasoning, which we are pursuing.;Professional Activities;Editorial Board: Journal of Symbolic Computation; ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software;Program Committee: Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming Workshop '94;Referee/Reviewer: AOR; NSF; Journal of Algebraic Algorithms and Error Correcting Codes; International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation;Lectures;Algebraic Function Decomposition.

Birman;Kenneth P. Birman;Professor;PhD Univ. of California, Berkeley, 1981;My research is concerned with fault-tolerant distributed computing and;operating systems. My focus is on using a distributed programming model;based upon virtual synchronous process groups to solve such problems as;managing replicated data, coordinating actions in a distributed setting,;and performing dynamic reconfiguration. This is done in a way that;provides fault-tolerance, although it is limited to certain classes of;reasonably benign failures.;My effort has a theoretical and a practical side. The practical work;started in 1985, when we developed a computing system called the Isis;Toolkit. Isis, with software tools to support virtual synchrony and;fault-tolerance, became widely popular. We are now developing a new;system, Horus, which is intended to be more flexible than Isis and which;addresses issues such as real-time communication and security.;The most important feature of Horus is its extensive use of layering, which;permits it to be reconfigured for special purposes. The basic idea is that;Horus users should pay only for features that they actually use but should;have available a very broad collection of options. Horus also seeks;leverage from the emergence of ATM network technology and from;communication techniques such as Active Messages, which originated in work;on parallel supercomputers. Horus embodies an advanced security;technology, developed by graduate students Mike Reiter and David Cooper,;which is unusual in combining security, privacy, and high availability in a;single package.;On the more fundamental side of the effort, the Horus group is looking at;techniques for specifying and proving properties of process-group;structured systems. We are using the ML language to develop executable;�reference implementations�� of the major Horus layers, with the goal of;using Constable�s Nuprl system to prove that the latter correctly;implements the former. We are also studying extensions of the virtual;synchrony model, notably in work by Roy Friedman on adding real-time;guarantees to Horus and in work by Mark Hayden on support for probabilistic;broadcast primitives and programming tools.;Horus is very much a collaboration. The architecture and development side;of the effort is headed by Dr. Robbert van Renesse, Werner Vogels and Roy;Friedman. Six graduate students are working on aspects of the system,;including the development of object-oriented programming tools for;multimedia communication applications, security and privacy, high-speed;protocols that exploit ATM, and other problems.

Most scientific;applications involve the numerical solution of partial differential;equations. The techniques used almost always produce a system of algebraic;equations that involve large sparse matrices. Unfortunately, existing;compiler technology does a poor job of parallelizing sparse matrix;programs. We take a radically different approach to this problem. Our;compiler produces parallel sparse-matrix programs from sequential;dense-matrix programs, using information from the user about the sparsity;structure of matrices in the program. This enables us to use tools from;the restructuring compiler area. Preliminary experiments with some Krylov;space solvers show that the code produced by our compiler is competitive;with hand-parallelized code in libraries like Argonne's PetSc library. We;will extend our approach to direct methods for solving linear systems and;to applications that require adaptive mesh refinement.;This project builds on our earlier work on restructuring compilation;techniques for dense matrix programs. We have developed restructuring;techniques for compiling programs to distributed memory and non-uniform;memory access (NUMA) architectures like the IBM SP-2 and CM-5, where a;processor can access local memory faster than non-local memory. To get;good performance, the compiler must not only parallelize but must also;ensure locality of reference by matching code and data distribution; when;non-local references must be made, block transfers are preferable to many;small messages. We recently developed the best algorithm known for the;automatic alignment of computation and data and are incorporating it into;our compiler test-bed. In earlier work, we developed a novel loop;restructuring technique called access normalization, which transforms loop;nests for increased locality and potential for block transfers, and;implemented it in the LAMBDA loop transformation toolkit - our paper;summarizing these results won the best paper prize at ASPLOS V. We worked;with Hewlett-Packard to transfer this technology to HP's FORTRAN compiler;product line for uniprocessors and multiprocessors.;We have developed new frameworks for program analysis and optimization;based on the dependence flow graph (DFG). The DFG knits together the data;and control dependence information of a program, permitting the development;of optimization algorithms that generate better code than is possible with;competing approaches.

Use of;a hypervisor to implement replica coordination is attractive - at least, in;theory.

Second, when replica coordination is;implemented in a hypervisor, a single implementation suffices for every;operating system that executes on that instruction-set architecture.;Finally, by implementing replica coordination in a hypervisor, the;applications programmer is freed from this task.;Jointly with Dag Johansen (University of Tromsø, Norway) and Robbert van;Renesse, I started the TACOMA project (Tromsø And COrnell Moving Agents) to;investigate support and use of mobile processes in building;mission-critical applications.

To this end, my research group,; Project Zeno,;is building technologies supporting the storage, communication, and;processing of continuous media data. In contrast to other commercial;and research approaches, which require specialized hardware, operating;systems, or networks to be usable, all of these technologies we are;designing fit into the current research environment. Our premise is;that the current hardware, software, and communication infrastructure;is sufficient to support research into continuous media systems and;applications. We are verifying this hypothesis by building working;systems.;Our research on storage systems is directed towards building the Zeno;distributed video file server. The Zeno architecture uses a network of;workstations connected by a generic local area network (e.g., an;ethernet), a common environment in computing research laboratories.;Each workstation can act simultaneously as both a client and a server;of continuous media data. As a client, a workstation plays video;stored on one or more servers. As a server, a workstation is a file;server for video data. Each client can receive video stored at several;servers, and each server can service several clients. Compared with;large centralized servers, the advantages of this design are:; Scalability. As new clients are added, new servers are; automatically added.; Load balancing. The load generated by serving videos is distributed; both across machines and across networks (in the case where the; servers are located on different networks).; Low initial investment. By utilizing existing infrastructure, the; Zeno architecture promotes early adoption in research environments; with almost no initial investment.;Our research on communication systems is centered around best effort;delivery protocols. Such protocols are built on existing network;protocols and, in contrast to many other research efforts, do not need;to reserve network resources to establish a connection. Resource;reservation protocols are well suited to the national communication;infrastructure where users can be charged on a per call basis for;bandwidth and connections, but are poorly suited to network;environments where the network is a shared resource equally accessible;by all researchers. Our approach is appropriate for the latter;environments, commonly found in research laboratories. The;communication protocol we have developed, called Cyclic-UDP, is built;on top of the UDP datagram protocol, and is designed to transport audio;and video data in playback applications in local, metropolitan, and;wide area networks. Cyclic-UDP is used by the Zeno file server to;deliver audio and video data to clients. A; paper describing cyclic UDP is available;online , as well as the; slides from a research talk.;Our research on processing video data has been two-fold. First, we are;developing algorithms to process video data in the compressed;representation. Processing video without decompression leads to;dramatic speed-ups in processing performance since it both removes the;time-consuming processes of compression and decompression and reduces;the amount of data that must be processed. Experiments with an;implementation of these ideas on JPEG compressed image data indicates;that the data can be processed one to two orders of magnitude faster;than what was possible with previous approaches. We are currently;extending these ideas by parallelizing the algorithms using networks of;workstations and by developing a method for transcoding video in;software. In video transcoding, video is translated from one;compression format to another, a useful operation for video file;servers that must service heterogeneous clients.;A paper describing compressed;domain processing is available online.;Our research on video processing is also exploring methods to simplify;experimentation with video processing by developing a programming;language where video is a first class data type. This language, called;Rivl (pronounced ""rival""), allows;video processing effects to be specified independent of the resolution;and format of the source material. The language does for video what;Postscript did for text and graphics: it provides a resolution;independent method for specifying video processing. Thus, the same;program can process low quality QuickTime video very quickly while;editing decisions are made, and then be used to format a high quality;finished product off-line, in much the same way that Postscript can be;previewed on a workstation at low quality, then sent to a 2600 dpi;printer for camera ready copy.;A paper describing RVL;is available online.;A talk that reviews our research on;video processing, both compressed domain processing and Rivl,;is available online.;The common theme of all these efforts is to provide tools to make video;usable in our research environment.;A talk that reviews this research;is also available online.;Teaching;At Cornell University, I teach an undergraduate course (CS 314) on computer;architecture, and a graduate course (CS;631) on multimedia systems.;Selected Publications; Jonathan Swartz, Brian C.

We have implemented;three such systems in the past tne years: PL/CV, PRL, and Nuprl.;Our major experimentation is with Nuprl, a 60,000-line Lisp;program that implements a constructive theory of types. Systems such;as Nuprl are useful formalizations of mathematics because they can;express a wide variety of proof and program-building methods as;metalevel programs of the system. These provide considerable theorem;proving power. Moreover, Nuprl is especially useful because it can;evaluate the computational content of theorems. In principle, Nuprl;is both a fomal system of mathematics and a programming language.;We continue to improve Nuprl; the current version used at Cornell is;called Nuprl 4. It differs from its predecessors in having a new term;editor designed by Stuart Allen and implemented by Richard Eaton. Its;internal structure is more modular, making the system suitable for he;definition of a wide variety of logics beyond the built-in;constructive type theory. Also, the entire theorem-proving mechanism;has been rebuilt and stream-lined by Paul Jackson, building on the;work of Douglas Howe. This contributes to the generic nature of Nuprl;4. Finally, this version of the system can refer to itself. There is;an internal description of the language and its logic built;principally by William Aitken using the theory developed by Allen,;Howe, and myself. Richard Eaton designed a link between the internal;description of the logic and the logic itself, which makes it possible;to prove theorems about the process of proving theorems.;We are also engaged in three exciting joint ventures.

With;Lesser, we are involved in hardware synthesis and verification.;Leeser and her student Mark Aagard have used Nuprl to prove the;correctness of a 1000-line boolean circuit minimization package, Pbs,;used by circuit designers. This is a component of Leeser's Bedroc;system (it implements the weak division algorithm, which is widely;used in circuit design systems). This major theorem proving effort;taught us a great deal about the effectiveness of our technology in;the hands of expert users from an application domain.;The second joint venture involves building a model of the Polya programming language and a;program refinement mechanism for it, both designed by David Gries,;which will enable him to write his handbook of algorithms in the;manner that he devised through years of study of the programming;process. Stuart Allen has givne a formal type-theoretic definition of;Polya. We expect to be experimenting soon with transforms and trying;to capture the programming style that Gries wants.;We have recently begun a collaboration that we hope to relate to the;Polya effort. Conal Mannion has been exploring the possibility of;using Nuprl in computational science. We have been discussing;problems with Richard Zippel and are hoping to connect Zippel's;symbolic algebra system, Weyl, with Nuprl in the near future. This;will be used to explore the development of scientific computing;software using Weyl and Nuprl together with other tools that Zippel is;building.;Professional Activities;Editor, Journal of Symbolic Computation;Editor, Academic Press;Editor, Journal of Logic and Computation;Editor, Oxford University Press;General Chair, LICS;Program Committee, North American Jumelage;Program Committee, Theoretical Aspects of Computer Software;Referee/Reviewer: NSERC (Canada), NSF, Theoretical Computer Science;University Activities;Chair, Computer Science Recruiting Committee;Computer Science Computing Facilities Committee;Provost's Study Committee on Mathematics;Lectures;Formal theories and software systems: fundamental connections between;computer science and logic.

Very generally, Kenmore;acquires linguistic knowledge using a combination of symbolic machine learning;techniques and robust sentence analysis. It has been used with corpora from two;real-world domains to perform part-of-speech tagging, semantic feature tagging, and;concept activation and to find the antecedents of relative pronouns. In current work,;we are extending Kenmore to handle larger text corpora and additional disambiguation;tasks. In all of our work, we evaluate the language learning;components in the context of the larger NLP application in which it is;embedded. The goal of the project is to determine the conditions under which machine;learning techniques can be expected to offer a cost-effective approach to knowledge;acquisition for NLP systems.;Teaching;CS674 Natural Language Understanding, Spring 1996;Foundations of Artificial Intelligence (CS472) and Practicum in;Artificial Intelligence (CS473), Fall 1996;Seminar in Natural Language Understanding;Selected Publications;Automating Feature Set Selection for Case-Based Learning of; Linguistic Knowledge,C.

My recent emphasis has been in the areas of subtyping,;object-oriented programming and modularity. I am implementing a practical programming language KML;which combines these features in a functional programming language, and formulating for it a;type-theoretic semantics.;An interesting view of programming languages is as a tractable approximation to the intractably rich;world of foundational type theories, in which the whole of mathematics can be performed. New;programming language developments often result from mapping type-theoretic constructions through an;approximation into a programming language setting, and, conversely, new paradigms in programming;languages are often not well understood until they have been formulated type-theoretically. I am;interested in deepening our understanding of this relationship between type theory and programming;languages, particularly the issues of tractability and approximation and how they can be mitigated.;I am also interested in a model of compilation that views it as a series of translations into;""lower"" intermediate calculi, where each intermediate calculus can be embedded into type theory and;the corresponding interpretation of a program is invariant under each translation. Such a model;allows us to relate each stage of compilation to an original type-theoretic semantics, which allows;the use of standard compilation techniques and optimizations while guaranteeing safety and;correctness. Also, careful formulation of such intermediate calculi make possible additional;optimizations that are unavailable in other compilation strategies.;My work forms part of the;Nuprl project here;at Cornell. The project name comes from the Nuprl system of formal mathematics and logic, a;type theory based on the type theories of Martin-Löf that is also implemented in an automated;reasoning system.;My committee consists of;Robert Constable,;Greg Morrisett,;and Dexter Kozen.;I also work closely with Jason;Hickey.;Selected papers;Other Links;Mark Leone maintains a collection of;programming language research resources.;You can;search computer science technical reports online.;Cornell Grad Life Bible;Studies home page;The Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5.;""Of all the commandments, which is the most important?"";""The most important one,"" answered Jesus, ""is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the;Lord our God, the Lord is one.

The goal of this work is to provide a layer to Horus;which will interact with; The Kerberos;Network Authentication Service and other cryptographic tools in order to;provide privacy and authentication services to processes in a group setting.;The original security architecture for Horus was implemented by Mike Reiter;(see;A Security Architecture for Fault-Tolerant Systems). In the original;implementation of;Horus, all process groups supported the virtual synchrony model of;computation. In order to maintain virtual synchrony (in the crash failure;model used in;Horus), it is necessary for all processes within a group to be honest. As;a result, the original security architecture makes the assumption that any;process which is allowed to join a group is trusted by all of the group members.;In the current version of; Horus, it is;possible to maintain process groups whose semantics are weaker than those of;virtual synchrony. In such groups, it may be desirable to permit untrusted;processes to join. An example of this might involve allowing untrusted clients;to join a client/server group. In such a setting, servers would communicate;with untrusted clients, but would only accept a limited set of commands from;the clients (and would be responsible for screening out all other messages).;The new Horus;security architecture will permit arbitrary trust relationships;among the processes within a group. This is accomplished by using a key;management scheme which does not allow one process in a group to impersonate;another group member. Using this scheme, a process group may trivially achieve;the semantics provided by the original security architecture (however with;a slightly higher overhead). However, unlike the original security architecture,;the new architecture enables the implementation of groups (such as;client/server groups) which many have more complicated trust relationships;among group members.; Thesis Research;In my thesis, I proposed a set of solutions to the privacy problems inherent;in mobile networks. In a static network, there are two basic types of;information which users may wish to keep private. The first is the contents;of the messages that they send to other users. This information can be hidden;with the proper use of encryption. Users may also wish to prevent outsiders;from determining with whom they are communicating. A solution to maintaining;the unlinkability of message senders and recipients was first proposed in 1981;by David Chaum;(Communications of the ACM, February 1981). Since then, several;others have made improvements to the original scheme.;In a mobile network, in addition to the types of information in a static;network, there is also location information. Users who carry mobile;communications devices will, in general, desire privacy. However, the;messages that their devices send and receive may reveal private information;about the devices' owners. In my research, I developed, along with my advisor;Ken Birman, a set of protocols to prevent such attacks from both internal;and external adversaries.; Publications;David A. Cooper and Kenneth P.

I received a B.S. Queens College in 1960 and went to work;for the U.S. Naval Weapons laboratory (as a civilian) as a;mathematician-programmer. I met my wife-to-be, Elaine, a few;months later, and we were married in November 1961.;We went to Illinois for more education. I received a Masters degree;in math from Illinois in 1963. My assistantship was to help two;Germans, Manfred Paul and Ruediger Wiehle, write a full Algol compiler;for the IBM 7090 computer --it was fun, figuring out how to implement;recursion efficiently before there were many papers on the topic.;This ended up in my wife and I going to Munich for almost three years.;I received my doctorate under F.L. Bauer and Joseph Stoer from MIT;(the Munich Institute of Technology, Germany) in June 1966. This was;in math, or numerical analysis, since computer science theses were not;yet kosher.;I was an assistant professor of Computer Science at Stanford from;1966 to 1969. While at Stanford, our twins Paul and Susan were born.;What made it more exciting than usual was that they were born on the;birthday of myself and my twin --26 April. So, when my twin is in;town, Elaine makes four birthday cakes.;We left Stanford because it had no weather. We moved to Cornell, which;has weather, in 1969 and have been snowed in ever since. I was;Department Chair in 1982-87, and I became the William L. Lewis;Professor of Engineering in 1992. I had a Guggenheim Fellowship in;1984-85.;Return to table of contents;I am better known for my;text writing;and my contributions to education than on the;wonderfulness of my research. Do what you are good at; bloom where;you are planted. I have received a number of awards for contributions;to education: the 1994 IEEE Taylor L. Booth Award, the ACM SIGCSE;award in 1991, a Cornell Outstanding Educator Award in 1990, the Clark;Award from Cornell's College of Arts & Sciences in 1986, and the;American Federation of Information Processing Societies' (AFIPS);education award in 1985.;I am proud of all my Ph.D. advisees, but two stand out. Susan;Owicki's thesis laid the foundation for proofs of correctness of;parallel programs, with the notion of interference-freeness.;A paper co-authored by us on the topic won the 1977 ACM Award for best;paper in programming langauges and systems. And;T.V. Raman's;thesis just won the ACM best-dissertation award for 1993-94. Raman designed;and implemented a system for ""speaking"" any tex/latex document,;including technical articles and books. The same document can be printed;or spoken. Being able to speak;mathematics in an effective manner was an important goal of his work.;Reading for the Blind is already using his system to produce audio;cassettes.;I served as Chair of the Computing Research Association (then the;Computer Science Board) in the late 1980's when it opened its office;in Washington and began seriously to represent computing research;interests. I also conducted the Taulbee Surveys in the period;1984-1991 and am proud of obtaining essentially complete responses;from PhD-granting computer science departments during that period. No;other comparable survey has had such a response rate. One year, it;required only 256 telephone calls to get the 150 departments to send;in their questionnaires. I received the Computing Research;Association's 1991 Service Award for this work on the Surveys and for;chairing the Association during its move toward respectability and;responsibility.;I am currently editor for IPL, Acta Informatica,;Formal Aspects of Computing, and Software Concepts and;Tools.

It used to be sports like golf,;softball, volleyball, swimming and table tennis. (Once, in China, I;split my pants playing ping pong. An hour later, while giving a;lecture, I mentioned that the audience should not laugh when I turned;around, and I explained why. The interpreter spoke, and everyone;laughed. However, I don't know whether he told the truth or just;said, ""Gries made a joke, laugh."".) I also used to sing barbershop and;Gilbert and Sullivan.

In;particular, a knowledge of computer architecture, assembly programming;language and program structure is required. I'll cover some of the;introductory material in class as required, but the purpose of that;will be to remind the audience of the material.;1.2 Course Outline;The course will be organized roughly as follows. I say roughly,;because depending on the feedback from the class, I may change the;order or the content of particular sections.; We'll start off with an overview of concurrency issues. We'll;discuss synchronization issues - in particular, ensuring mutual;exclusion, deadlock detections and prevention algorithms. We'll;discuss multiprocessor issues as well. Next, we'll go on to memory;management. Here we'll discuss virtual memory and various methods used;to implement virtual memory, such as paging and segmentation. Next,;we'll cover file systems. Finally, we'll look at evolution of the;traditional operating systems and look at micro-kernels. If time;permits, we'll have a few lectures on advanced topics such as multi;threading and serverless file systems.;1.3 Textbooks;The principal text book for the class is the Operating System Concepts;book by Abraham Silberschatz and Peter Galvin. I'll also distribute;class notes which will cover the material completely. The class notes;will also be available on the world wide web from the class home page;at the end of each class.;2 Course Schedule We will meet Monday;thru Thursday from 10:00AM-11:15AM during the weeks of 7/8 -;8/16. There will be two in-class quizzes. The first will be on 7/18;and the second will be on 8/1. The final will be on 8/16. In addition,;there will be weekly assignments for the first 5 weeks of class. These;will be handed out on Thursday and will be due the following Thursday;at the start of the class.;3 Quizzes & Grading;Each of the homeworks will carry a weightage of 6% for a combined;weightage of 30%. The final will be worth 40% and there will be two;midterms worth 15% each. There will also be 4 surprise quizzes to;determine the understanding of the course material by the class.;4 Policy Statement on Collaboration;At most 3 people can form a group and collaborate on each;homework. Each such group will need to submit only one copy of the;homework. The quizzes and the final will be closed book and closed;notes.;5 Office Hours; Induprakas Kodukula: Monday 1:30-3:00, ETC 710; Nawaaz Ahmed: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday 1:30-3:00 Upson 5162;6 Course Material;7 Send Comments;Maintained by Induprakas;Kodukula;",course,134,2,3552,[135] +http://www.cs.cornell.edu/info/people/prakas/home.html,"Induprakas Kodukula's Home Page;;;Induprakas Kodukula;710, Engineering and Theory Center;Cornell University;Ithaca, NY 14853;Res: (607) 256-1903;Off: (607) 254-8833; prakas@CS.Cornell.Edu;I am a Ph.D student in the department of; Computer Science at; Cornell University.

The domains of these;applications include financial management, historical analysis,;economic and social sciences, metereology, medical sciences and;biological sciences. Existing relational databases are inadequate in;this regard; data collections are treated as sets, not sequences.;Consequently, expressing sequence queries is tedious, and evaluating;them is inefficient.;Databases should;model the data using the abstraction of sequences ,;allow data sequences to be queried in a declarative manner ,;utilizing the ordered semantics;take advantage of the unique opportunities available for query;optimization and evaluation;integrate sequence data with relational data, so that users can;store and query a combination of relation and sequences;These requirements serve as the goals of the SEQ project.;Various kinds of sequences need to be supported, temporal sequences being the;most important kind. Queries should be expressible using notions like;""next"" and ""previous"" which are natural when considering sequences.;These queries should be optimized so that they can be evaluated efficiently.;These issues need to be studied in theory, and then a database system needs;to be built that demonstrates the feasibility of the theoretical ideas.;Project Status;The current status of the project is:;We have defined the SEQ data model that can support;most important kinds of sequence data. We have also defined algebraic;query operators that can be composed to form sequence queries (analogous;to the composition of relational algebra operators to form relation queries).;We have described how sequence queries can be efficiently processed,;and have identified various optimization techniques.;We use a sequence query language Sequin that can;declaratively express queries over sequences. A Sequin;query can include embedded expressions in a relational query language like;SQL, or vice-versa.;We are building a disk-based database system to demonstrate the;feasibility of our proposals. The system implements the SEQ;model using a nested complex object architecture. It is built over the;SHORE storage manager and can process several megabytes of data.;Relations and sequences are supported in an integrated and extensible;manner.;Motivating Example of a Sequence Query;A weather monitoring system records information about various meteorological;phenomena. There is a sequentiality in the occurrence of these phenomena; the;various meteorological events are sequenced by the time at which they are;recorded. A scientist asks the query:; ""For which volcano eruptions did;the most recent earthquake have a strength greater than 7.0 on the Richter;scale?"".;If this query is to be expressed in a relational query language like SQL,;complex features like groupby clauses, correlated subqueries and aggregate;functions are required. Further, a conventional relational query optimizer;would not find an efficient query execution plan, even given the knowledge;that the Earthquakes and Volcano relations are sorted by time.;However a very efficient plan exists, if one models the data as sequences;ordered by time. The two sequences can be scanned in lock step;(similar to a sort merge join). The most recent earthquake record scanned;can be stored in a temporary buffer. Whenever a volcano record is;processed, the value of the most recent earthquake record stored in the;buffer is checked to see if its strength was greater than 7.0, possibly;generating an answer. This query can therefore be processed with a single;scan of the two sequences, and using very little memory. The key to such;optimization is the sequentiality of the data and the query.;Data Model;The details of the SEQ data model are;described in a published paper (click here;for postscript version). Here we present the gist of it.;The basic model of a sequence is a set of records mapped to an ordered;domain of ``positions''.;This many-to-many relationship between records and;positions can be viewed in two dual but distinct ways: as a set of records;mapped to each position, or as a set of positions mapped to each record.;These two views are called ``Positional'' and ``Record-Oriented'' respectively,;and each gives rise to a set of query operators based on that view.;Queries on sequences could require operators of either or both flavors.;The Record-Oriented operators are similar to relational;operators and include various kinds of joins (overlap, containment, etc) and;aggregates. Such operators have been extensively explored by researchers;in the temporal database community.;The Positional operators include Next, Previous, Offset, Moving;Aggregates, etc. Further operators allow ``zooming'' operations on;sequences by means of collapsing and expanding the ordering domains;associated with the sequence. For instance, a daily sequence could be;``zoomed out'' (i.e.collapsed) to a weekly sequence, or ``zoomed in'';(i.e. expanded) to an hourly sequence.;The last part of the model deals with operations on groups (i.e. sets) of;sequences. The advantage is that this makes it easy to model queries;involving sequence collections (which is the case in many real-world;situations). All the sequence operators are extended to work with groups;of similar sequences, instead of with single sequences. This extension;of the SEQ model indicates that a practical implementation of;SEQ would probably involve a nested complex object system.; Sequin Query Language;We have devised a query language called Sequin using;which declarative sequence queries can be specified. The language;is similar in flavor to SQL, except that the inputs to queries;as well as the results of queries are sequences. Click; here for a description of the Sequin;language with examples.;Optimization Techniques;We have proposed new optimization techniques for sequence queries;involving Positional operators. There are existing techniques that;have been proposed for queries with Record-Oriented operators.;Our optimizations use query transformations, meta--data, and caching of;intermediate results to efficiently evaluate a query. An optimal query;evaluation plan can be generated using an algorithm that relies on cost;estimates. One of the important observations is that accessing sequence data;in a single stream is probably very efficient, and evaluation strategies;should take this into account.;The details of the optimization techniques are;described in a published paper (click here;for postscript version).;System Development;The SEQ database system has a client-server;architecture, supporting multiple clients via;a multi-threaded server. The server is built on;top of the SHORE;storage manager. Both Sequin;and a subset of SQL are supported as query languages;which can be embedded inside each other. The data model;is a nested complex object model that allows arbitrary;levels of nesting of relations inside sequences and vice;versa. The system is also extensible, providing support;for new data types, new ordering domains, user-defined functions,;new storage implementations and new query languages.

I work on methodologies, paradigms, and algorithms for;fault-tolerant distributed systems, in both message-passing and;shared-memory systems. My long-term goal is to bridge the gap;between theoretical results and the need for efficient and practical;solutions.;In collaboration with;Tushar Chandra;and;Prasad Jayanti,;two Ph.D.;Computer Science students, we continued our work on;unreliable failure;detectors for message-passing systems,;and on wait-free objects for shared-memory systems.;A fundamental result of fault-tolerant distributed computing;states that the Consensus problem cannot be solved (with a;deterministic algorithm) in asynchronous systems. This impossibility;result is due to the inherent difficulty of determining whether a;process has crashed (or is merely very slow) in such a system. In;our work, we were able to determine exactly how much information;about failures is necessary and sufficient to solve Consensus. We;first showed one can use W, an unreliable failure detector that can;make an infinite number of mistakes, to solve Consensus in systems;with a majority of correct processes. We then proved that to solve;Consensus, any failure detector has to provide at least as much;information about failures as W. Thus, W is the weakest failure;detector for solving Consensus in asynchronous systems with a;majority of correct processes. We are now exploring the practicality;of implementing W, and of applications that rely on W for their;correctness.;A concurrent system consists of processes communicating via shared;objects. A shared object is wait-free if each process that accesses;this object is guaranteed to get a response even if all the other;processes crash. We are now exploring wait-free hierarchies of;object types, where each object (type) is assigned to a level that;corresponds to its ability in implementing other wait-free objects.;In particular, Prasad Jayanti has shown that a well-known hierarchy;(Herlihy's) is not robust: Informally, in this hierarchy there is an;object at level 2 that can be used to implement wait-free objects at;any level. We are now exploring the question of whether;robust wait-free hierarchies exist.;Selected Publications; Bracha, G., and S.

This paper investigates the use of Active Messages;(AM) communication primitives as an alternative to the standard;message passing in order to reduce communication overheads and to;offer a good building block for higher layers of software.;The first part of this paper describes an implementation of Active;Messages (SP AM) which is layered directly on top of the SP's network;adapter (TB2). With comparable bandwidth, SP AM's low overhead yields;a round-trip latency that is 40% lower than IBM MPL's. The second;part of the paper demonstrates the power of AM as a communication;substrate by layering Split-C as well as MPI over it. Split-C;benchmarks are used to compare the SP to other MPPs and show that low;message overhead and high throughput compensate for SP's high network;latency. The MPI implementation is based on the freely available;MPICH version and achieves performance equivalent to IBM's MPI-F on;the NAS benchmarks.;Design and Performance of Active Messages on the;SP-2;Chi-Chao Chang, Grzegorz Czajkowski, and Thorsten von Eicken,;Cornell CS Technical Report 96-1572, February 1996.;Abstract:;This technical report describes the design, implementation, and;evaluation of Active Messages on the IBM SP-2. The implementation;benchmarked here uses the standard TB2 network adapter firmware but;does not use any IBM software on the Power2 processor. We assume;familiarity with the concepts underlying Active Messages. The main;performance characteristics are a one-word message round-trip time;of 51.0 us and an asymptotic network bandwidth of 34.3 MB/s.;After presenting selected implementation details, the paper focuses;on detailed performance analysis, including a comparison with IBM's;Message Passing Layer (MPL) and Split-C benchmarks.;Generic Active Message Specification, Version 1.1.;The Generic Active Message Specification, Version 1.1 defines an Active;Messages interface which is portable across a variety of parallel machines.;Implementations are available for the;U-Net ATM cluster,;the;Meiko CS-2,;the;HPAM FDDI ring,;the;Paragon,;and the;SP-2.;Low-Latency Communication over ATM Networks;using Active Messages.;Thorsten von Eicken, Veena Avula, Anyndia Basu, Vineet Buch,;Presented at Hot Interconnects II,;Aug 1994, Palo Alto, CA.;An abridged version of this paper appears in IEEE Micro Magazine, Feb. 1995.;Slides from Hot Interconnect talk.;Abstract:;Recent developments in communication architectures for;parallel machines have made significant progress and reduced the;communication overheads and latencies by over an order of magnitude as;compared to earlier proposals. This paper examines whether these;techniques can carry over to clusters of workstations connected by an;ATM network even though clusters use standard operating system;software, are equipped with network interfaces optimized for stream;communication, do not allow direct protected user-level access to the;network, and use networks without reliable transmission or flow;control.;In a first part, this paper describes the differences in;communication characteristics between clusters of workstations built;from standard hardware and software components and state-of-the-art;multiprocessors. The lack of flow control and of operating system;coordination affects the communication layer design significantly and;requires larger buffers at each end than on multiprocessors. A second;part evaluates a prototype implementation of the low-latency Active;Messages communication model on a Sun workstation cluster;interconnected by an ATM network. Measurements show;application-to-application latencies of about 20 microseconds for small;messages which is roughly comparable to the Active Messages;implementation on the Thinking Machines CM-5 multiprocessor.;Active Messages: a Mechanism for Integrated Communication and;Computation.;von Eicken, T., D. E. Culler, S. C. Goldstein, and K. E. Schauser,;Proceedings of the 19th Int'l Symp. on Computer Architecture,;May 1992, Gold Coast, Australia.;Abstract;The design challenge for large-scale multiprocessors is (1) to;minimize communication overhead, (2) allow communication to overlap;computation, and (3) coordinate the two without sacrificing;processor cost/performance. We show that existing message passing;multiprocessors have unnecessarily high communication costs. Research;prototypes of message driven machines demonstrate low communication;overhead, but poor processor cost/performance. We introduce a simple;communication mechanism, Active Messages, show that it is;intrinsic to both architectures, allows cost effective use of the;hardware, and offers tremendous flexibility. Implementations on nCUBE/2;And CM-5 are described and evaluated using a split-phase shared-memory;extension to C, Split-C.

During the last year, Horus was used to demonstrate;groupware and fault-tolerance over high performance networks, and was found;to offer higher performance than other similar systems. Novel features of;Horus are its flexible software architecture, in which applications;pay only for features that they use, and support for virtually synchronous;process groups, a technology that we developed in our prior work on the; Isis;Toolkit, which has become a significant commercial success. Horus also offers;a fault-tolerant; security;and privacy technology, which we view as an important;research advance.;During 1995, we will be extending Horus to provide extremely low latency,;high performance;real-time capabilities. Our approach combines elements of;a communication technology called;Active Messages;with a multi-media playback;system called;Continuous Media. By the end of the year, we expect to;demonstrate high speed interactive applications with remote multimedia;servers, such as might be used in remote telemedicine applications or video;on demand systems. All of this will retain the existing fault-tolerance and;security options of Horus, and its virtual synchrony programming model.;Prior work on; Isis;has created a substantial user base, and we expect;rapid uptake of Horus within this community as it matures. Isis users span;a wide range of industries, including telecommunications systems, financial;trading systems, stock market automation, factory-floor process control for;discrete electronic component manufacture, air traffic control, and space-based;communications system management and control. Applications of Isis are being;explored in several branches of the military, as well as the NSA and other;non-military government branches. Among the more visible military efforts is;the Naval Hiper-D project, which is exploring the use of Isis in a new system;that prototypes technologies for future enhancements of the AEGIS battle;radar system. The more demanding applications in this user base would benefit;from access to Horus, and our initial plan is to make it possible to migrate;Isis applications to Horus with few changes, thus benefiting this community;in a direct way. Technology transition has occured through licensing agreements;with Isis Distributed Systems Inc., a subsidiary of Stratus Computers. However,;all of our Cornell work is also available to researchers at no fee, and is;described through detailed publications and programming manuals.;Looking to the future, we hope that a mixture of Isis and Horus technologies;will permit us to develop some of the very demanding applications that will be;seen in next-generation groupware and planning systems. The illustration below;shows such an application: a military mission control and planning system;that integrates data from a variety of space, air and ground resources and;uses this to coordinate actions of various theatre assets. Systems of this;sort will demand the utmost in performance, reliability and security, while;also tolerating failures and rapidly reconfiguring to respond to changing;demands.

This project investigates how;people can share information by reading and writing annotations in;electronic documents shared by the group. An initial prototype;implementation is being used by Cornell class CS212. Here, the shared;documents are problem sets and course notes, and a nnotations might be;requests for clarifications by students, technical questions, or;corrections made by staff. The question is whether this will be a;useful means for students to obtain answers, whether students will;find each other's questions a useful source for learning, whether;students will often be able to answer each other's questions;(correctly), and whether the course staff will find this a useful;means for feedback in improving the course.

Within the;overall Horus framework a large collection of system and application;protocols have been developed that allow the application designer to;construct a communication module that exactly meets the application;requirements at minimal cost.;The Horus project was originally launched as an effort to redesign the;Isis group;communication system, but has evolved into a general purpose communication;architecture with advanced support for the development of robust;distributed systems in settings for which Isis was unsuitable, such as;applications that have special security or real-time requirements. Besides;the practical uses of our software, the project has contributed;towards the theory of virtually synchrony, a runtime model used;for our implementation of data replication and fault-tolerance. At the same;time, our software is much faster and lighter weight than the Isis system.;Horus exists as two systems: an initial version coded in C, which can be;used for research purposes at no fee but has restricted commerical;rights,;and a new version called Ensemble, written in ML but usable from many;other languages, which is available for all classes of users at no;fee. Ensemble is actively under development and we will do series of;releases over the fall of 1996 and spring of 1997.

Emphasis is on;techniques of problem analysis and the development of algorithms and programs.;The subject of the course is programming, not a particular programming;language. The principal programming language is C. The course does not presume;previous programming experience. Programming assignments are tested and run on;interactive, stand-alone microcomputers.;Alternative version of COM S 100, emphasizing examples and applications;involving continuous mathematics, including trigonometry and calculus.;CS100B vs. CS100A;Computer Science 100b basically teaches the same material as CS100a. There are;a some differences, though (besides the last letter). CS100b assumes the;knowledge and/or familiarity with continuous math (as opposed to discrete one),;including trigonometry and calculus. One might wonder what that means in a;programming course. Well, computer science and math interact in many ways and;CS100b introduces one of them - scientific computing. This does not mean that;CS100a is `easier' than CS100b. It means that if you think you are comfortable;with integrals, derivatives, etc., CS100b will show you ways of applying your;knowledge to computer programming. The point of it is not necessarily to;test that knowledge, but rather expand it and apply it. I would;like to encourage people who think they would;qualify to take this course. Continuous math might not sound that attractive,;but you can only benefit with this choice. It is often hard to find good;examples of `real world' problems in an intro course for CS, but CS100b finds;one. If you are not sure whether you `qualify', please talk to the instructor;(Prof. Zabih), and ask him for an opinion.;Besides that, there is a slight difference in the topics taught in 100b and;100a (although, for the most part they coincide one with another). If you;already know a bit about C, CS100b will spend some more time on pointers and;the model of the language itself. If you don't know what this means, it doesn't;matter - just disregard the last sentence.;Grading Policies;Grades for CS100B will be computed as follows:;CS100B course grades;Programs20%;Prelim 110%;Prelim 220%;Prelim 320%;Final 30%;Graded assignments and exams will be returned in sections.

We use;the Dylan language, an object oriented dynamic language developed;at Apple Computer, which is well suited for covering a broad range;of introductory computer science topics. This is not a course;about the Dylan language, it just happens to be the ""notation"";that we have chosen for writing programs. The major goals of;the course are to teach students how to think clearly about programs;and programming, and to provide a toolbox of modern programming;techniques that will be applicable in any language.;What course to take: Students often wonder whether to take;CS211 or CS212. CS211 focuses on programming skills in the object-oriented;language Java, whereas CS212 provides exposure to a broad range;of computational and programming problems, using a number of programming;paradigms including functional, object-oriented and imperative;programming techniques. If you have a good CS background or good;formal skills (e.g., mathematics or physics) you should probably;take CS212. Transfers between CS211 and CS212 (in either direction);are encouraged during the first two weeks.;Reaching Us;The best way to reach the course staff is by posting questions;or comments using the CS212 Web site http://www.cs.cornell.edu/Info/Courses/Current/CS212/; This site contains all course materials, and runs a CoNote server;which allows students and staff to post questions and answers;as ""annotations"" to the handouts and problem sets.;In order to access the Web site you will need to request a user-id;and password for the CoNote system. To do this, simply go to;the CS212 home page and follow the instructions. Your user-id;and password will be created by Monday if you request them this;week.;You can also reach the course staff is by sending email to cs212@cs.cornell.edu;but this should not be used for asking questions about;problem sets or handouts (use the Web site).;Who We Are;Dan Huttenlocher, Professor, 4119 Upson;Tobias Mayr, TA, 5148 Upson;James Hamblin, ugrad TA;Robert Szewczyk, ugrad TA;Justin Voskuhl, ugrad TA;Andras Ferencz, consultant; Melissa Ho, consultant;When We Meet;Lectures are Tuesday and Thursday at 10:10, in B11 Kimball and;recitations are Monday and Wednesday at 1:25, 2:30 or 3:35. Recitations;expand on the material in lecture, and provide more opportunity;to ask questions.;Consulting hours, for help with problem sets or other questions,;will be held from 7pm until midnight the two evenings before each;problem set is due (see schedule below). Thus for problem sets;due on a Tuesday there will be consulting hours Sunday and Monday;evenings and for those due on a Thursday there will be consulting;hours Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. Consulting hours are in;the public Mac lab in B7 Upson.;Office hours are: James Hamblin TBA, Dan Huttenlocher T 1:00-2:00,;Tobias Mayr F 12:15-1:15, Robert Szewczyk TBA, Justin Voskuhl;TBA.;Course Materials;There is no textbook for this course. There will be course handouts;and lecture notes, which will be available both in hardcopy and;on the course Web site.;The Dylan interpreter is available free on the course Web site,;and was developed by Justin Voskuhl for this class. It is implemented;in Java, and thus will run under any Java capable Web browser.; The best current browser (it changes almost weekly) is Netscape;3.0 for Windows95/NT, which has Borland's just-in-time Java compiler.; There are also standalone versions available that you can download;onto your computer if you do not want to use the Web browser version.; One word of warning: if you download a standalone Dylan onto;your machine, make sure that you are using the most recent;version by checking the web site.;Course Requirements;Students are responsible for all material in the assigned readings,;as well as that covered in lectures and in recitations. There;will be six problem sets, two preliminary exams, and a final exam;(a schedule is given below). Each problem set will be a combination;of written exercises and a programming assignment. Course grades;will be based on a combination of the problem sets and exam scores.; The problem sets will account for approximately one half of the;total grade. No late assignments will be accepted (we will;generally grade assignments immediately and return them the following;class period).;You should try to complete the programming assignments early,;as we will not accept late work. The best use of your time and;the machine's time is to think about the problems before sitting;down at the computer. [No matter how many times we say this,;it takes a long time to sink in; think about the problems before;sitting down at the computer.];Policy on Joint Work;Much of the learning in this course comes from doing the programming;problems. You may work jointly with one other person on the assignments;(no more than two people should work together). However, if you;work together with someone, you must submit a single joint;assignment with both names on it. Under no circumstances;may you hand in work done with (or by) someone else under your;own name. If in doubt, credit the person(s) from whom you;got help. You would be amazed at how easy it is to tell when;people work together on problem sets, so please don't make life;unpleasant for all of us by breaking these rules.;Public Lab Facilities;CIT and various colleges on campus provide public Macintosh and;PC facilities, you may use your own machine or the public ones.; The CS department does not provide computer facilities for this;course. The course consultants will be available in the B7 Upson;Mac lab (see above).;Problem Set Due Dates and Exam Dates;All problem sets are due before 2am on the due date. For example,;an assignment due Tuesday must be submitted electronically to;the course server by 2am on Tuesday (that is late Monday;night). No late assignments are accepted, so make sure you submit;your final solution by the correct time and date.;[9/12] Assignment 1;[9/24] Assignment 2;[10/8] Assignment 3;[10/17] Prelim 1, 7:30pm;[10/29] Assignment 4;[11/12] Assignment 5;[11/19] Prelim 2, 7:30pm;[12/5] Assignment 6;[12/19] Final Exam -- see exam schedule;Lecture Outline; [8/29] The Study of Computation, and an Introduction to Dylan; [9/3] Function Abstraction and the Substitution Model of Evaluation; [9/5] Procedures and Processes: Iteration, Recursion and Induction; [9/10] Higher Order Procedures: Functional Arguments and Values; [9/12] Analysis of Algorithms: Orders of Growth; [9/17] Data Abstraction: Structures, Contracts and Implementations; [9/19] Hierarchical Data: Lists, Trees and the need for Quotation; [9/24] Recursive List Processing and Reasoning about Lists; [9/26] Symbolic Differentiation: An Extended Example; [10/1] Generic Operations: Type Dispatching and Generic Functions; [10/3] Generic Operations: Polynomial Arithmetic System; [10/8] Assignment and the Environment Model of Evaluation; [10/10] Assignment and Local State Variables; [10/17] Objects with State and Object Oriented Programming; [10/22] Object Oriented Programming and Inheritance; [10/24] Multimethods and More About Object Oriented Programming; [10/29] Mutable Data: Stacks and Queues; [10/31] Mutable Data: Heaps, Heapsort and Priority Queues; [11/5] The Metacircular Evaluator: Dylan in Dylan; [11/7] Variations on Expression Evaluation; [11/12] Compilation and Optimization; [11/14] Streams; [11/19] Infinite Streams; [11/21] Nonlocal Exits: Catch and Throw; [11/26] Garbage Collection and the Illusion of Infinite Memory; [12/3] Topics in CS: Randomization and Quicksort; [12/5] Topics in CS: Computability;" +"CS280: Discrete Structures; CS280: Discrete Structures;Course Information;Instructor:;Professor Sam Toueg; Upson 4106; Tel: 255-9197;sam@cs.cornell.edu; Office Hours: Monday 2:30pm-3:30pm, Wednesday 3pm-4pm, or by appointment.;Teaching Assistants:; Debra Goldberg; Rhodes (Theory Center) 657; Tel: 255-8272;debra@cam.cornell.edu; Office Hours: Tuesday 12:00-2:00 pm and Wednesday 4:00-5:00 pm in Upson 343A.; NOTE: Next Tuesday, 11/26, the office hours will end;at 1:30 pm.; Athanasios Kyparlis; Upson 4162; Tel: 255-2219;kyparlis@cs.cornell.edu; Office Hours: Thursday 1:00-3:00 pm and Friday 11:00 am - 12:00 noon in Upson 343A.;Newsflash (November 15);Prelim 1 grades are posted in front of Upson 303 (October 17);Additional Consulting Hours (October 4);Announcements;Handouts;Reading Assignments;Homeworks;Solutions;Announcements;Please remember to return your homework in the;yellow ""campus mail'' envelope with your name written on it.;Handouts;Course Information;Questionnaire;Reading Assignments;Sections 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 (Friday, August 30).; Section 3.2 (Monday, September 2).; Section 3.3 (Wednesday, September 11).; Sections 3.4 and 3.5 (Monday, September 16).; Sections 1.1 and 1.2 (Wednesday, September 18).; Section 3.1 (Wednesday, October 1st).; Sections 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3 (Wednesday, October 23).; Section 4.6 (Friday, October 25).; Sections 5.4 and 5.5 (Friday, November 1st).; Sections 4.4 and 4.5 (Wednesday, November 6).; Sections 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 (Monday, November 18).;Homeworks;IMPORTANT: Unless we specify otherwise, in all homeworks and exams in;CS280 you should justify your answers with clear and rigorous proofs.;Grading will be according to the following criteria:;a. correctness and completeness, and;b. clarity, precision and conciseness.;Homework 1;Homework 2;Homework 3;Homework 4;Homework 5;Homework 6;Homework 7;Homework 8;Homework 9;Homework 10;Homework 11;Solutions;Solution of Homework 1;Solution of Homework 2;Solution of Homework 3;Solution of Homework 4;Solution of Homework 5;Solution of Homework 6;Solution of Prelim 1;Solution of Homework 7;Solution of Homework 8;Solution of Homework 9;Solution of Homework 10;Last updated on November 4, 1996;;Please comment to;cs280@cs.cornell.edu;" +"CS401/501 Home Page;;CS401/501 Home Page; Looking for ...; Admin handouts and information (incl.; TA office hours); Lecture notes; Assignment information; Recitation information; The Ethics, Professionalism, and Social; Responsibility Page;or maybe ...; Electronic Submission Procedure; Group Performance Evaluations; Web resources; Quotes and other fun stuff.; A collection of jokes has been started here.

It is intended;to give students a solid background in the design and development of database;management systems (DBMS's). Database systems are possibly the world's;largest pieces of software, and certainly among the most valuable pieces;of software. While a DBMS is in one sense a giant application program,;there are surprisingly many principles behind its development and use.;The database industry is growing and thriving, and the demand for knowledgeable;database engineers is much greater than the supply. The database research;community is also active, and there are always new problems to be addressed;because of the explosive amounts of data that people wish to access. This;course forms essential background for anyone who wants to (a) become a;systems engineer at a database development company, or (b) become an informed;user of database systems, or (c) become a database systems researcher,;or (d) develop systems in any domain that manipulate large amounts of data,;or (e) find out how a teller machine really works!;A number of ""advanced fundamental"" DBMS concepts will be covered.;Although this is not intended to be an introductory course, it is a new;course and there may be students in the class with different backgrounds.;Consequently, the discussion of various topics will begin with a quick;review of basic material taught in CS 432. Click here;for a tentative list of topics to be covered.;In terms of workload, here's what the course involves:;There will be a midterm and a final examination. These will test a;breadth of basic concepts.;Each student will have to do a survey paper on a specific advanced;topic. Here is a list of possible topics. The;purpose of this is to be aware that what is being taught in the course;is only a fraction of what is out there. This paper will be due three weeks;after the midterm, and should be complete with references. It will require;reading papers from journals and conference proceedings in the engineering;library. I will suggest initial references, and you will have to pursue;additional references from there. Click here for;information on reference material in the library.;A development project involving C++ programming. Look here;for more information.;There will be no written homework assignments.;Students take turns writing lecture notes. Depending on enrollment,;this means each person will have to take notes once or twice in the semester.;Hopefully, this additional work will turn out to be useful around exam;time. Here are the details (in .ps).; Development;Project;The term project is an important part of the course, and will involve;a significant amount of C++ programming. You can choose whether you wish;to work alone or in teams of two. However, the two-person projects will;involve proportionally more work. The goal of the project is two-fold:;(a) to get hands-on experience at building some specific DBMS component,;(b) to get comfortable working with a large pre-existing code-base, and;modifying it in a modular manner. The second goal is as important as the;first one, because all database systems are huge software systems, and;rarely do you have the luxury of starting from scratch. This forces you;to write modular code, and also to understand the interaction between the;different system components when the inevitable bugs appear.;There are two research DBMS prototypes that will be used in the projects.;One is MINIBASE, which is software associated with the textbook. It is;a simple single-user database system that provides all the components from;the SQL parser down to the disk manager. This should hopefully be available,;depending on our being able to compile and run it in our computing environment.;The important part of MINIBASE is the interface description of the various;system components. The actual code comes from class projects. Consequently,;projects using MINIBASE will involve writing a component (like the buffer;manager), based on a specification of its C++ interface.;The other prototype is PREDATOR, which is a query processing engine;that I have been developing for my research. There are a number of possible;projects (some of which could lead to research topics) that can be built;on top of PREDATOR. The focus here is on the high-end functionality like;complex queries and new data types.;If you are not familiar with C++, I recommend a MINIBASE project because;the amount of design needed is minimal. If you think you are interested;in database systems research, then you should do a PREDATOR project. If;you fall in neither category, then you should decide whether you want a;project at the lower-level DBMS (storage, access, buffer) areas, or the;higher-level (query processing, optimization) areas and choose between;MINIBASE (lower-level) and PREDATOR (higher-level). There are also some;general projects that involve neither system. If you have your own idea;on a suitable project, you should talk with me about it well in advance;of the project proposal date.;Here is a tentative list of possible projects.;In all the projects, there will be certain steps that should be followed:;As part of the project proposal, you should (discuss with me) and submit;an ordered list of pieces of functionality that the project will produce.;There will be a mid-project review in which you meet with me to discuss;the progress that you have made towards completing the project.;The code you write must follow the coding conventions of the particular;system that you are working on. A detailed coding conventions document;will be provided and should be followed closely. This is something that;I will be very picky on, and that will contribute to the grade you get;on the project.;Project submission should include a demo and a reasonable amount of;test data.;Some useful references are:;Home page for PREDATOR.;Home;page for MINIBASE.; Course;TextBook;The primary text is a beta edition of a new book on database systems;: ""Database Management Systems"" by Raghu Ramakrishnan. This book;contains many more details than are in most other introductory database;books.

The goal;of this course is not to conduct a broad survey of hi-tech programming;languages like C++, Java, or SML, nor to directly study implementation;mechanisms for these languages (e.g., compressed dispatch tables for multiple;inheritance). Rather, the goal of this course is to study;the principles;of formal notation for describing computations, and tools for analyzing;and proving properties of computations. These concerns subsume the;study of specific programming languages or implementation mechanisms;and hence lead to a deeper understanding of programming, specification,;logic, mathematics, and proof theory.;For example, we will study notations for abstractly specifying how;programs compute (operational semantics), as well as;notations for describing what programs compute;(denotational semantics). In turn, the abstract but precise;realization of these notations will allow us to study techniques;(induction, logical relations) for;formally proving interesting and relevant properties of;programming languages (e.g., type safety or compiler correctness).;Ideally, a student coming out of this course will have learned something;about how to make informal concepts and notation precise, and how to;manipulate the notation to demonstrate useful properties.; Textbooks:; Semantics of Programming Languages , Carl A. Gunter.; ML for the Working Programmer (Second Edition) , Larry Paulson.; Prerequisites:;On the programming side,;we assume experience with at least a Pascal- or C-like language.;Preferably, students will have some knowledge and experience working with;a functional language, such as Scheme, ML, or Haskell.;On the theoretical side, we assume a basic proficiency in undergraduate;mathematics, logic, and computer science. A basic knowledge of;computability (e.g., turing machines, recursive functions) and;logic (e.g., predicate calculus), as well as some mathematical;maturity is required.;This course is designed for PhD students in CS, Math,;OR, and EE.

This is underscored by the fact that;all system manufacturers offer multiprocessors at the top of their product;line. However, the debate on how the parallel machines of the future will;look like has heated-up considerably in the past few months: the federal;spending cuts are on their way to eradicate the performance-at-any-price;massively parallel processor (MPP) manufacturers. Competitors having bet;on glorified workstation farms are smiling: while their machines cannot;offer the same level of performance or ease of use, their business has not;suffered as much because these machines are more price competitive and can;leverage the latest microprocessor developments more quickly. At the core;of the technological debate lie a large number of systems issues: how to;integrate a large number of off-the-shelf processors into a cost-effective;system which can be easily programmed in high-level parallel programming;languages and which can host a varied application workload.;This course is not about how to program parallel machines (although some;of that will be the topic of the first few weeks). Parallel algorithms,;languages and architectures have matured considerably over the last few;years to the point where parallel machines are almost usable, if only the;system support were adequate to allow general-purpose use. This course;will focus on the architecture and operating system aspects required to;support features taken for granted in sequential computing such as;portable parallel programs, powerful debuggers, multi-user machine access,;virtual memory, and fast I/O.;The first part of the course will examine two complete parallel systems:;the CM-5 with Split-C and an ATM network of workstations with CC++. Using;a ``vertical'' approach we will study the interactions between algorithmic;models, languages, associated execution models, operating systems,;architectures and hardware implementations, focussing on the support;required for each of these layers. The second part of the course will;focus on specific topics and slice ``horizontally'' across systems,;selecting a few key issues for an analysis of the design alternatives. An;in-depth study of the KSR and the DASH will provide some shared-memory;contrast to the course.;Course Materials;Course format;Lecture Notes;Problem sets;Term projects;" +"CS314 Home Page;Introduction to Digital Systems and Computer Organization;Thorsten von Eicken;Fall, 1995;Tue/Thu 1:25pm-2:40pm, Kimball B11;Topics include: representation;of information; machine-assembly languages; processor organization;;interrupts and I/O; memory hierarchies; combinatorial and sequential;circuits; data path and control unit design; RTL; and;microprogramming.;HELP;If you have a problem related to a lecture, a homework set, or a;project, the best way to get help is to add an annotation at the;appropriate point in the course materials.

Large masses of machine-readable text now exist that can be cheaply stored on high-density optical storage media and rapidly retrieved on demand. Furthermore, sophisticated methods are available for analyzing document texts, formulating appropriate user queries, conducting rapid file searches, and ranking the retrieved items in decreasing order of importance to the users.;At Cornell, we design and operate large, general-purpose text processing environments where texts can be handled without restrictions as to size or subject matter. In the absence of knowledge bases that would be useful for unrestricted text databases, we use corpus-based text analysis systems that determine the meaning of words and expressions by a refined context analysis using statistical and probabilistic criteria. Using the corpus-based approaches, we are able to determine text similarity with a high degree of accuracy. There are two main applications:;The automatic generation of structured text collections (hypertext) where semantically similar pieces of text are automatically linked. Hypertext representations of large databases provide flexible browsing capabilities for general-purpose text access.;The automatic retrieval of interesting text excerpts in response to available search queries.;We have done extensive work with an automated encyclopedia consisting of about 25,000 encyclopedia articles (the Funk and Wagnalls New Encyclopedia). In addition, we are also processing the TREC collection consisting of about 800,000 full-text documents covering a number of different subject areas (over 2 gigabytes of text).;A sophisticated search and retrieval service exists, as well as a text linking system capable of relating different text sections, paragraphs, and sentences.

In particular, for nonlinearly constrained problems, there do not exist acceptance conditions for optimality. I have been investigating a new affine scaling trust region method for minimizing a nonlinear I (sub-1) function; including a trust region convergence analysis.

The toolkit then converts the differential equations, via the supplied methods, into specialized code for the architecture. With colleagues in the department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, this toolkit has been used to generate the dynamical systems that arise in the study of the boundary layers in fluids.;A component of this toolkit is a computer algebra substrate called Weyl, that extends the data structures available in Common Lisp to include objects like polynomials, matrices, rational functions, rings, vector spaces, and ideals.

Birman;Kenneth P. Birman;Professor;PhD Univ. of California, Berkeley, 1981;My research is concerned with fault-tolerant distributed computing and;operating systems. My focus is on using a distributed programming model;based upon virtual synchronous process groups to solve such problems as;managing replicated data, coordinating actions in a distributed setting,;and performing dynamic reconfiguration. This is done in a way that;provides fault-tolerance, although it is limited to certain classes of;reasonably benign failures.;My effort has a theoretical and a practical side. The practical work;started in 1985, when we developed a computing system called the Isis;Toolkit. Isis, with software tools to support virtual synchrony and;fault-tolerance, became widely popular. We are now developing a new;system, Horus, which is intended to be more flexible than Isis and which;addresses issues such as real-time communication and security.;The most important feature of Horus is its extensive use of layering, which;permits it to be reconfigured for special purposes. The basic idea is that;Horus users should pay only for features that they actually use but should;have available a very broad collection of options. Horus also seeks;leverage from the emergence of ATM network technology and from;communication techniques such as Active Messages, which originated in work;on parallel supercomputers. Horus embodies an advanced security;technology, developed by graduate students Mike Reiter and David Cooper,;which is unusual in combining security, privacy, and high availability in a;single package.;On the more fundamental side of the effort, the Horus group is looking at;techniques for specifying and proving properties of process-group;structured systems. We are using the ML language to develop executable;�reference implementations�� of the major Horus layers, with the goal of;using Constable�s Nuprl system to prove that the latter correctly;implements the former. We are also studying extensions of the virtual;synchrony model, notably in work by Roy Friedman on adding real-time;guarantees to Horus and in work by Mark Hayden on support for probabilistic;broadcast primitives and programming tools.;Horus is very much a collaboration. The architecture and development side;of the effort is headed by Dr. Robbert van Renesse, Werner Vogels and Roy;Friedman. Six graduate students are working on aspects of the system,;including the development of object-oriented programming tools for;multimedia communication applications, security and privacy, high-speed;protocols that exploit ATM, and other problems.

Most scientific;applications involve the numerical solution of partial differential;equations. The techniques used almost always produce a system of algebraic;equations that involve large sparse matrices. Unfortunately, existing;compiler technology does a poor job of parallelizing sparse matrix;programs. We take a radically different approach to this problem. Our;compiler produces parallel sparse-matrix programs from sequential;dense-matrix programs, using information from the user about the sparsity;structure of matrices in the program. This enables us to use tools from;the restructuring compiler area. Preliminary experiments with some Krylov;space solvers show that the code produced by our compiler is competitive;with hand-parallelized code in libraries like Argonne's PetSc library. We;will extend our approach to direct methods for solving linear systems and;to applications that require adaptive mesh refinement.;This project builds on our earlier work on restructuring compilation;techniques for dense matrix programs. We have developed restructuring;techniques for compiling programs to distributed memory and non-uniform;memory access (NUMA) architectures like the IBM SP-2 and CM-5, where a;processor can access local memory faster than non-local memory. To get;good performance, the compiler must not only parallelize but must also;ensure locality of reference by matching code and data distribution; when;non-local references must be made, block transfers are preferable to many;small messages. We recently developed the best algorithm known for the;automatic alignment of computation and data and are incorporating it into;our compiler test-bed. In earlier work, we developed a novel loop;restructuring technique called access normalization, which transforms loop;nests for increased locality and potential for block transfers, and;implemented it in the LAMBDA loop transformation toolkit - our paper;summarizing these results won the best paper prize at ASPLOS V. We worked;with Hewlett-Packard to transfer this technology to HP's FORTRAN compiler;product line for uniprocessors and multiprocessors.;We have developed new frameworks for program analysis and optimization;based on the dependence flow graph (DFG). The DFG knits together the data;and control dependence information of a program, permitting the development;of optimization algorithms that generate better code than is possible with;competing approaches. Our results are of independent interest; for;example, we recently developed optimal algorithms for control dependence;problems, answering a foundational question that had been open for almost;a decade.

When replica coordination is implemented in a hypervisor, it;instantly becomes available to all hardware realizations of the given;instruction-set architecture, including realizations that did not exist;when the hypervisor was written. Second, when replica coordination is;implemented in a hypervisor, a single implementation suffices for every;operating system that executes on that instruction-set architecture.;Finally, by implementing replica coordination in a hypervisor, the;applications programmer is freed from this task.;Jointly with Dag Johansen (University of Tromsø, Norway) and Robbert van;Renesse, I started the TACOMA project (Tromsø And COrnell Moving Agents) to;investigate support and use of mobile processes in building;mission-critical applications. By structuring a system in terms of agents,;applications can be constructed in which communication-network bandwidth is;conserved. Data may be accessed only by an agent executing at the same;site as the data resides. An agent typically will filter or otherwise;reduce the data it reads, carrying with it only the relevant information as;it roams the network. Two TACOMA prototypes have been completed, and we;are implementing a third system based on our experiences.;Finally, I developed with Scott Stoller a new algorithm for detecting;whether a particular computation of an asynchronous distributed system;could have passed through a global state satisfying some given state;predicate. The new algorithm allows more efficient detection than is;possible with previous algorithms.;University Activities;Sabbatical leave, 1994-95;Professional Activities;Editor-in-chief, Distributed Computing;Editor, Information Processing Letters;Editor, IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering;Editor, High Integrity Systems;Editor, Annals of Software Engineering;Editor, ACM Computing Surveys;Co-Editor, Texts and Monographs in Computer Science, Springer-Verlag;Program Committee Member, 3rd International School and Symposium on; Formal Techniques in Real-Time and Fault-Tolerant Systems;Program Committee Member, 3rd International Conference on the Mathematics; of Program Construction;Program Committee Member, 4th International Workshop On Responsive; Computer Systems;Program Committee Member, Workshop on Composability of Fault-resilient; Real-Time Systems;Program Committee Member, Fifth IFIP Working Conference on Dependable; Computing for Critical Applications;Program Committee Member, Sixteenth IEEE International Real-Time Systems; Symposium;Program Committee Member, DIMACS Workshop on Verification and Control; of Hybrid Systems;Steering committee, Center for High Integrity Software Systems; Assurance (CHISSA), National Institute of Standards and Technology;Member, ISAT Defensive Information Warfare Study Group, Advanced Research; Projects Agency;Review committee, Leibniz Center at Hebrew University;Member, IFIP Working Group 2.3 (Programming Methodology);Awards;Fellow, American Association for Advancement of Science;Fellow, Association for Computing Machinery;Lectures;Proof outlines for programs. 6 lectures. 15th International Summer; School, Marktoberdorf, Germany, July 1994.;On the origin of traditions.

To this end, my research group,; Project Zeno,;is building technologies supporting the storage, communication, and;processing of continuous media data. In contrast to other commercial;and research approaches, which require specialized hardware, operating;systems, or networks to be usable, all of these technologies we are;designing fit into the current research environment. Our premise is;that the current hardware, software, and communication infrastructure;is sufficient to support research into continuous media systems and;applications. We are verifying this hypothesis by building working;systems.;Our research on storage systems is directed towards building the Zeno;distributed video file server. The Zeno architecture uses a network of;workstations connected by a generic local area network (e.g., an;ethernet), a common environment in computing research laboratories.;Each workstation can act simultaneously as both a client and a server;of continuous media data. As a client, a workstation plays video;stored on one or more servers. As a server, a workstation is a file;server for video data. Each client can receive video stored at several;servers, and each server can service several clients. Compared with;large centralized servers, the advantages of this design are:; Scalability. As new clients are added, new servers are; automatically added.; Load balancing. The load generated by serving videos is distributed; both across machines and across networks (in the case where the; servers are located on different networks).; Low initial investment. By utilizing existing infrastructure, the; Zeno architecture promotes early adoption in research environments; with almost no initial investment.;Our research on communication systems is centered around best effort;delivery protocols. Such protocols are built on existing network;protocols and, in contrast to many other research efforts, do not need;to reserve network resources to establish a connection. Resource;reservation protocols are well suited to the national communication;infrastructure where users can be charged on a per call basis for;bandwidth and connections, but are poorly suited to network;environments where the network is a shared resource equally accessible;by all researchers. Our approach is appropriate for the latter;environments, commonly found in research laboratories. The;communication protocol we have developed, called Cyclic-UDP, is built;on top of the UDP datagram protocol, and is designed to transport audio;and video data in playback applications in local, metropolitan, and;wide area networks. Cyclic-UDP is used by the Zeno file server to;deliver audio and video data to clients. A; paper describing cyclic UDP is available;online , as well as the; slides from a research talk.;Our research on processing video data has been two-fold. First, we are;developing algorithms to process video data in the compressed;representation. Processing video without decompression leads to;dramatic speed-ups in processing performance since it both removes the;time-consuming processes of compression and decompression and reduces;the amount of data that must be processed. Experiments with an;implementation of these ideas on JPEG compressed image data indicates;that the data can be processed one to two orders of magnitude faster;than what was possible with previous approaches. We are currently;extending these ideas by parallelizing the algorithms using networks of;workstations and by developing a method for transcoding video in;software. In video transcoding, video is translated from one;compression format to another, a useful operation for video file;servers that must service heterogeneous clients.;A paper describing compressed;domain processing is available online.;Our research on video processing is also exploring methods to simplify;experimentation with video processing by developing a programming;language where video is a first class data type. This language, called;Rivl (pronounced ""rival""), allows;video processing effects to be specified independent of the resolution;and format of the source material. The language does for video what;Postscript did for text and graphics: it provides a resolution;independent method for specifying video processing. Thus, the same;program can process low quality QuickTime video very quickly while;editing decisions are made, and then be used to format a high quality;finished product off-line, in much the same way that Postscript can be;previewed on a workstation at low quality, then sent to a 2600 dpi;printer for camera ready copy.;A paper describing RVL;is available online.;A talk that reviews our research on;video processing, both compressed domain processing and Rivl,;is available online.;The common theme of all these efforts is to provide tools to make video;usable in our research environment.;A talk that reviews this research;is also available online.;Teaching;At Cornell University, I teach an undergraduate course (CS 314) on computer;architecture, and a graduate course (CS;631) on multimedia systems.;Selected Publications; Jonathan Swartz, Brian C.

Constable;Robert L. Constable;Department Chair/Professor;rc@cs.cornell.edu;Ph.D. University of Wisconsin, Madison, 1968;Research;We are engaged in the study of computer systems that provide;mechanical assistance in problem solving, especially in programming;and mathematics. This involves a long term study of ways to make the;formalization of mathematics feasible and useful. We have implemented;three such systems in the past tne years: PL/CV, PRL, and Nuprl.;Our major experimentation is with Nuprl, a 60,000-line Lisp;program that implements a constructive theory of types. Systems such;as Nuprl are useful formalizations of mathematics because they can;express a wide variety of proof and program-building methods as;metalevel programs of the system. These provide considerable theorem;proving power. Moreover, Nuprl is especially useful because it can;evaluate the computational content of theorems. In principle, Nuprl;is both a fomal system of mathematics and a programming language.;We continue to improve Nuprl; the current version used at Cornell is;called Nuprl 4. It differs from its predecessors in having a new term;editor designed by Stuart Allen and implemented by Richard Eaton. Its;internal structure is more modular, making the system suitable for he;definition of a wide variety of logics beyond the built-in;constructive type theory. Also, the entire theorem-proving mechanism;has been rebuilt and stream-lined by Paul Jackson, building on the;work of Douglas Howe. This contributes to the generic nature of Nuprl;4. Finally, this version of the system can refer to itself. There is;an internal description of the language and its logic built;principally by William Aitken using the theory developed by Allen,;Howe, and myself. Richard Eaton designed a link between the internal;description of the logic and the logic itself, which makes it possible;to prove theorems about the process of proving theorems.;We are also engaged in three exciting joint ventures. One is with;Miriam Leeser of Electrical ENgineering and the other two are in;Computer Science; with David;Gries on Polya and with Richard;Zippel on Weyl. With;Lesser, we are involved in hardware synthesis and verification.;Leeser and her student Mark Aagard have used Nuprl to prove the;correctness of a 1000-line boolean circuit minimization package, Pbs,;used by circuit designers. This is a component of Leeser's Bedroc;system (it implements the weak division algorithm, which is widely;used in circuit design systems). This major theorem proving effort;taught us a great deal about the effectiveness of our technology in;the hands of expert users from an application domain.;The second joint venture involves building a model of the Polya programming language and a;program refinement mechanism for it, both designed by David Gries,;which will enable him to write his handbook of algorithms in the;manner that he devised through years of study of the programming;process. Stuart Allen has givne a formal type-theoretic definition of;Polya. We expect to be experimenting soon with transforms and trying;to capture the programming style that Gries wants.;We have recently begun a collaboration that we hope to relate to the;Polya effort. Conal Mannion has been exploring the possibility of;using Nuprl in computational science. We have been discussing;problems with Richard Zippel and are hoping to connect Zippel's;symbolic algebra system, Weyl, with Nuprl in the near future. This;will be used to explore the development of scientific computing;software using Weyl and Nuprl together with other tools that Zippel is;building.;Professional Activities;Editor, Journal of Symbolic Computation;Editor, Academic Press;Editor, Journal of Logic and Computation;Editor, Oxford University Press;General Chair, LICS;Program Committee, North American Jumelage;Program Committee, Theoretical Aspects of Computer Software;Referee/Reviewer: NSERC (Canada), NSF, Theoretical Computer Science;University Activities;Chair, Computer Science Recruiting Committee;Computer Science Computing Facilities Committee;Provost's Study Committee on Mathematics;Lectures;Formal theories and software systems: fundamental connections between;computer science and logic.

It has been used with corpora from two;real-world domains to perform part-of-speech tagging, semantic feature tagging, and;concept activation and to find the antecedents of relative pronouns. In current work,;we are extending Kenmore to handle larger text corpora and additional disambiguation;tasks. In all of our work, we evaluate the language learning;components in the context of the larger NLP application in which it is;embedded.

My recent emphasis has been in the areas of subtyping,;object-oriented programming and modularity. I am implementing a practical programming language KML;which combines these features in a functional programming language, and formulating for it a;type-theoretic semantics.;An interesting view of programming languages is as a tractable approximation to the intractably rich;world of foundational type theories, in which the whole of mathematics can be performed. New;programming language developments often result from mapping type-theoretic constructions through an;approximation into a programming language setting, and, conversely, new paradigms in programming;languages are often not well understood until they have been formulated type-theoretically. I am;interested in deepening our understanding of this relationship between type theory and programming;languages, particularly the issues of tractability and approximation and how they can be mitigated.;I am also interested in a model of compilation that views it as a series of translations into;""lower"" intermediate calculi, where each intermediate calculus can be embedded into type theory and;the corresponding interpretation of a program is invariant under each translation. Such a model;allows us to relate each stage of compilation to an original type-theoretic semantics, which allows;the use of standard compilation techniques and optimizations while guaranteeing safety and;correctness. Also, careful formulation of such intermediate calculi make possible additional;optimizations that are unavailable in other compilation strategies.;My work forms part of the;Nuprl project here;at Cornell.

The goal of this work is to provide a layer to Horus;which will interact with; The Kerberos;Network Authentication Service and other cryptographic tools in order to;provide privacy and authentication services to processes in a group setting.;The original security architecture for Horus was implemented by Mike Reiter;(see;A Security Architecture for Fault-Tolerant Systems). In the original;implementation of;Horus, all process groups supported the virtual synchrony model of;computation. In order to maintain virtual synchrony (in the crash failure;model used in;Horus), it is necessary for all processes within a group to be honest. As;a result, the original security architecture makes the assumption that any;process which is allowed to join a group is trusted by all of the group members.;In the current version of; Horus, it is;possible to maintain process groups whose semantics are weaker than those of;virtual synchrony. In such groups, it may be desirable to permit untrusted;processes to join. An example of this might involve allowing untrusted clients;to join a client/server group. In such a setting, servers would communicate;with untrusted clients, but would only accept a limited set of commands from;the clients (and would be responsible for screening out all other messages).;The new Horus;security architecture will permit arbitrary trust relationships;among the processes within a group. This is accomplished by using a key;management scheme which does not allow one process in a group to impersonate;another group member. Using this scheme, a process group may trivially achieve;the semantics provided by the original security architecture (however with;a slightly higher overhead). However, unlike the original security architecture,;the new architecture enables the implementation of groups (such as;client/server groups) which many have more complicated trust relationships;among group members.; Thesis Research;In my thesis, I proposed a set of solutions to the privacy problems inherent;in mobile networks. In a static network, there are two basic types of;information which users may wish to keep private. The first is the contents;of the messages that they send to other users. This information can be hidden;with the proper use of encryption. Users may also wish to prevent outsiders;from determining with whom they are communicating. A solution to maintaining;the unlinkability of message senders and recipients was first proposed in 1981;by David Chaum;(Communications of the ACM, February 1981). Since then, several;others have made improvements to the original scheme.;In a mobile network, in addition to the types of information in a static;network, there is also location information. Users who carry mobile;communications devices will, in general, desire privacy. However, the;messages that their devices send and receive may reveal private information;about the devices' owners. In my research, I developed, along with my advisor;Ken Birman, a set of protocols to prevent such attacks from both internal;and external adversaries.; Publications;David A. Cooper and Kenneth P.

Topics include process;synchronization, deadlock, memory management, input-output methods,;information sharing, protection and security, and file systems. The;impact of network and distributed computing environments on operating;systems is also discussed. This is a fast-paced subject requiring;constant attention.;1.1 Prerequsites;Complete familiarity with the material of CS314 is assumed. In;particular, a knowledge of computer architecture, assembly programming;language and program structure is required. I'll cover some of the;introductory material in class as required, but the purpose of that;will be to remind the audience of the material.;1.2 Course Outline;The course will be organized roughly as follows. I say roughly,;because depending on the feedback from the class, I may change the;order or the content of particular sections.; We'll start off with an overview of concurrency issues. We'll;discuss synchronization issues - in particular, ensuring mutual;exclusion, deadlock detections and prevention algorithms. We'll;discuss multiprocessor issues as well. Next, we'll go on to memory;management. Here we'll discuss virtual memory and various methods used;to implement virtual memory, such as paging and segmentation. Next,;we'll cover file systems. Finally, we'll look at evolution of the;traditional operating systems and look at micro-kernels. If time;permits, we'll have a few lectures on advanced topics such as multi;threading and serverless file systems.;1.3 Textbooks;The principal text book for the class is the Operating System Concepts;book by Abraham Silberschatz and Peter Galvin. I'll also distribute;class notes which will cover the material completely. The class notes;will also be available on the world wide web from the class home page;at the end of each class.;2 Course Schedule We will meet Monday;thru Thursday from 10:00AM-11:15AM during the weeks of 7/8 -;8/16. There will be two in-class quizzes. The first will be on 7/18;and the second will be on 8/1. The final will be on 8/16. In addition,;there will be weekly assignments for the first 5 weeks of class. These;will be handed out on Thursday and will be due the following Thursday;at the start of the class.;3 Quizzes & Grading;Each of the homeworks will carry a weightage of 6% for a combined;weightage of 30%. The final will be worth 40% and there will be two;midterms worth 15% each. There will also be 4 surprise quizzes to;determine the understanding of the course material by the class.;4 Policy Statement on Collaboration;At most 3 people can form a group and collaborate on each;homework. Each such group will need to submit only one copy of the;homework. The quizzes and the final will be closed book and closed;notes.;5 Office Hours; Induprakas Kodukula: Monday 1:30-3:00, ETC 710; Nawaaz Ahmed: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday 1:30-3:00 Upson 5162;6 Course Material;7 Send Comments;Maintained by Induprakas;Kodukula;" +"Induprakas Kodukula's Home Page;;;Induprakas Kodukula;710, Engineering and Theory Center;Cornell University;Ithaca, NY 14853;Res: (607) 256-1903;Off: (607) 254-8833; prakas@CS.Cornell.Edu;I am a Ph.D student in the department of; Computer Science at; Cornell University.

The domains of these;applications include financial management, historical analysis,;economic and social sciences, metereology, medical sciences and;biological sciences. Existing relational databases are inadequate in;this regard; data collections are treated as sets, not sequences.;Consequently, expressing sequence queries is tedious, and evaluating;them is inefficient.;Databases should;model the data using the abstraction of sequences ,;allow data sequences to be queried in a declarative manner ,;utilizing the ordered semantics;take advantage of the unique opportunities available for query;optimization and evaluation;integrate sequence data with relational data, so that users can;store and query a combination of relation and sequences;These requirements serve as the goals of the SEQ project.;Various kinds of sequences need to be supported, temporal sequences being the;most important kind. Queries should be expressible using notions like;""next"" and ""previous"" which are natural when considering sequences.;These queries should be optimized so that they can be evaluated efficiently.;These issues need to be studied in theory, and then a database system needs;to be built that demonstrates the feasibility of the theoretical ideas.;Project Status;The current status of the project is:;We have defined the SEQ data model that can support;most important kinds of sequence data. We have also defined algebraic;query operators that can be composed to form sequence queries (analogous;to the composition of relational algebra operators to form relation queries).;We have described how sequence queries can be efficiently processed,;and have identified various optimization techniques.;We use a sequence query language Sequin that can;declaratively express queries over sequences. A Sequin;query can include embedded expressions in a relational query language like;SQL, or vice-versa.;We are building a disk-based database system to demonstrate the;feasibility of our proposals. The system implements the SEQ;model using a nested complex object architecture. It is built over the;SHORE storage manager and can process several megabytes of data.;Relations and sequences are supported in an integrated and extensible;manner.;Motivating Example of a Sequence Query;A weather monitoring system records information about various meteorological;phenomena. There is a sequentiality in the occurrence of these phenomena; the;various meteorological events are sequenced by the time at which they are;recorded. A scientist asks the query:; ""For which volcano eruptions did;the most recent earthquake have a strength greater than 7.0 on the Richter;scale?"".;If this query is to be expressed in a relational query language like SQL,;complex features like groupby clauses, correlated subqueries and aggregate;functions are required. Further, a conventional relational query optimizer;would not find an efficient query execution plan, even given the knowledge;that the Earthquakes and Volcano relations are sorted by time.;However a very efficient plan exists, if one models the data as sequences;ordered by time. The two sequences can be scanned in lock step;(similar to a sort merge join). The most recent earthquake record scanned;can be stored in a temporary buffer. Whenever a volcano record is;processed, the value of the most recent earthquake record stored in the;buffer is checked to see if its strength was greater than 7.0, possibly;generating an answer. This query can therefore be processed with a single;scan of the two sequences, and using very little memory. The key to such;optimization is the sequentiality of the data and the query.;Data Model;The details of the SEQ data model are;described in a published paper (click here;for postscript version). Here we present the gist of it.;The basic model of a sequence is a set of records mapped to an ordered;domain of ``positions''.;This many-to-many relationship between records and;positions can be viewed in two dual but distinct ways: as a set of records;mapped to each position, or as a set of positions mapped to each record.;These two views are called ``Positional'' and ``Record-Oriented'' respectively,;and each gives rise to a set of query operators based on that view.;Queries on sequences could require operators of either or both flavors.;The Record-Oriented operators are similar to relational;operators and include various kinds of joins (overlap, containment, etc) and;aggregates. Such operators have been extensively explored by researchers;in the temporal database community.;The Positional operators include Next, Previous, Offset, Moving;Aggregates, etc. Further operators allow ``zooming'' operations on;sequences by means of collapsing and expanding the ordering domains;associated with the sequence. For instance, a daily sequence could be;``zoomed out'' (i.e.collapsed) to a weekly sequence, or ``zoomed in'';(i.e. expanded) to an hourly sequence.;The last part of the model deals with operations on groups (i.e. sets) of;sequences. The advantage is that this makes it easy to model queries;involving sequence collections (which is the case in many real-world;situations). All the sequence operators are extended to work with groups;of similar sequences, instead of with single sequences. This extension;of the SEQ model indicates that a practical implementation of;SEQ would probably involve a nested complex object system.; Sequin Query Language;We have devised a query language called Sequin using;which declarative sequence queries can be specified. The language;is similar in flavor to SQL, except that the inputs to queries;as well as the results of queries are sequences. Click; here for a description of the Sequin;language with examples.;Optimization Techniques;We have proposed new optimization techniques for sequence queries;involving Positional operators. There are existing techniques that;have been proposed for queries with Record-Oriented operators.;Our optimizations use query transformations, meta--data, and caching of;intermediate results to efficiently evaluate a query. An optimal query;evaluation plan can be generated using an algorithm that relies on cost;estimates. One of the important observations is that accessing sequence data;in a single stream is probably very efficient, and evaluation strategies;should take this into account.;The details of the optimization techniques are;described in a published paper (click here;for postscript version).;System Development;The SEQ database system has a client-server;architecture, supporting multiple clients via;a multi-threaded server. The server is built on;top of the SHORE;storage manager. Both Sequin;and a subset of SQL are supported as query languages;which can be embedded inside each other. The data model;is a nested complex object model that allows arbitrary;levels of nesting of relations inside sequences and vice;versa. The system is also extensible, providing support;for new data types, new ordering domains, user-defined functions,;new storage implementations and new query languages.

I work on methodologies, paradigms, and algorithms for;fault-tolerant distributed systems, in both message-passing and;shared-memory systems. My long-term goal is to bridge the gap;between theoretical results and the need for efficient and practical;solutions.;In collaboration with;Tushar Chandra;and;Prasad Jayanti,;two Ph.D.;Computer Science students, we continued our work on;unreliable failure;detectors for message-passing systems,;and on wait-free objects for shared-memory systems.;A fundamental result of fault-tolerant distributed computing;states that the Consensus problem cannot be solved (with a;deterministic algorithm) in asynchronous systems. This impossibility;result is due to the inherent difficulty of determining whether a;process has crashed (or is merely very slow) in such a system. In;our work, we were able to determine exactly how much information;about failures is necessary and sufficient to solve Consensus. We;first showed one can use W, an unreliable failure detector that can;make an infinite number of mistakes, to solve Consensus in systems;with a majority of correct processes. We then proved that to solve;Consensus, any failure detector has to provide at least as much;information about failures as W. Thus, W is the weakest failure;detector for solving Consensus in asynchronous systems with a;majority of correct processes. We are now exploring the practicality;of implementing W, and of applications that rely on W for their;correctness.;A concurrent system consists of processes communicating via shared;objects. A shared object is wait-free if each process that accesses;this object is guaranteed to get a response even if all the other;processes crash. We are now exploring wait-free hierarchies of;object types, where each object (type) is assigned to a level that;corresponds to its ability in implementing other wait-free objects.;In particular, Prasad Jayanti has shown that a well-known hierarchy;(Herlihy's) is not robust: Informally, in this hierarchy there is an;object at level 2 that can be used to implement wait-free objects at;any level. We are now exploring the question of whether;robust wait-free hierarchies exist.;Selected Publications; Bracha, G., and S.

This paper investigates the use of Active Messages;(AM) communication primitives as an alternative to the standard;message passing in order to reduce communication overheads and to;offer a good building block for higher layers of software.;The first part of this paper describes an implementation of Active;Messages (SP AM) which is layered directly on top of the SP's network;adapter (TB2). With comparable bandwidth, SP AM's low overhead yields;a round-trip latency that is 40% lower than IBM MPL's. The second;part of the paper demonstrates the power of AM as a communication;substrate by layering Split-C as well as MPI over it. Split-C;benchmarks are used to compare the SP to other MPPs and show that low;message overhead and high throughput compensate for SP's high network;latency. The MPI implementation is based on the freely available;MPICH version and achieves performance equivalent to IBM's MPI-F on;the NAS benchmarks.;Design and Performance of Active Messages on the;SP-2;Chi-Chao Chang, Grzegorz Czajkowski, and Thorsten von Eicken,;Cornell CS Technical Report 96-1572, February 1996.;Abstract:;This technical report describes the design, implementation, and;evaluation of Active Messages on the IBM SP-2.

This paper examines whether these;techniques can carry over to clusters of workstations connected by an;ATM network even though clusters use standard operating system;software, are equipped with network interfaces optimized for stream;communication, do not allow direct protected user-level access to the;network, and use networks without reliable transmission or flow;control.;In a first part, this paper describes the differences in;communication characteristics between clusters of workstations built;from standard hardware and software components and state-of-the-art;multiprocessors. The lack of flow control and of operating system;coordination affects the communication layer design significantly and;requires larger buffers at each end than on multiprocessors. A second;part evaluates a prototype implementation of the low-latency Active;Messages communication model on a Sun workstation cluster;interconnected by an ATM network. Measurements show;application-to-application latencies of about 20 microseconds for small;messages which is roughly comparable to the Active Messages;implementation on the Thinking Machines CM-5 multiprocessor.;Active Messages: a Mechanism for Integrated Communication and;Computation.;von Eicken, T., D. E. Culler, S. C. Goldstein, and K. E. Schauser,;Proceedings of the 19th Int'l Symp. on Computer Architecture,;May 1992, Gold Coast, Australia.;Abstract;The design challenge for large-scale multiprocessors is (1) to;minimize communication overhead, (2) allow communication to overlap;computation, and (3) coordinate the two without sacrificing;processor cost/performance. We show that existing message passing;multiprocessors have unnecessarily high communication costs. Research;prototypes of message driven machines demonstrate low communication;overhead, but poor processor cost/performance. We introduce a simple;communication mechanism, Active Messages, show that it is;intrinsic to both architectures, allows cost effective use of the;hardware, and offers tremendous flexibility. Implementations on nCUBE/2;And CM-5 are described and evaluated using a split-phase shared-memory;extension to C, Split-C. We further show that active messages;are sufficient to implement the dynamically scheduled languages for;which message driven machines were designed. With this mechanism,;latency tolerance becomes a programming/compiling concern.

During the last year, Horus was used to demonstrate;groupware and fault-tolerance over high performance networks, and was found;to offer higher performance than other similar systems. Novel features of;Horus are its flexible software architecture, in which applications;pay only for features that they use, and support for virtually synchronous;process groups, a technology that we developed in our prior work on the; Isis;Toolkit, which has become a significant commercial success. Horus also offers;a fault-tolerant; security;and privacy technology, which we view as an important;research advance.;During 1995, we will be extending Horus to provide extremely low latency,;high performance;real-time capabilities. Our approach combines elements of;a communication technology called;Active Messages;with a multi-media playback;system called;Continuous Media. By the end of the year, we expect to;demonstrate high speed interactive applications with remote multimedia;servers, such as might be used in remote telemedicine applications or video;on demand systems. All of this will retain the existing fault-tolerance and;security options of Horus, and its virtual synchrony programming model.;Prior work on; Isis;has created a substantial user base, and we expect;rapid uptake of Horus within this community as it matures. Isis users span;a wide range of industries, including telecommunications systems, financial;trading systems, stock market automation, factory-floor process control for;discrete electronic component manufacture, air traffic control, and space-based;communications system management and control. Applications of Isis are being;explored in several branches of the military, as well as the NSA and other;non-military government branches. Among the more visible military efforts is;the Naval Hiper-D project, which is exploring the use of Isis in a new system;that prototypes technologies for future enhancements of the AEGIS battle;radar system. The more demanding applications in this user base would benefit;from access to Horus, and our initial plan is to make it possible to migrate;Isis applications to Horus with few changes, thus benefiting this community;in a direct way. Technology transition has occured through licensing agreements;with Isis Distributed Systems Inc., a subsidiary of Stratus Computers. However,;all of our Cornell work is also available to researchers at no fee, and is;described through detailed publications and programming manuals.;Looking to the future, we hope that a mixture of Isis and Horus technologies;will permit us to develop some of the very demanding applications that will be;seen in next-generation groupware and planning systems. The illustration below;shows such an application: a military mission control and planning system;that integrates data from a variety of space, air and ground resources and;uses this to coordinate actions of various theatre assets. Systems of this;sort will demand the utmost in performance, reliability and security, while;also tolerating failures and rapidly reconfiguring to respond to changing;demands.

I seek to use;the dramatic advances in computing technology over the past few;decades to make equally dramatic advances in our understanding of the;human mind. With the computing power now available and soon to be;available, realistic simulations of cortical processing are becoming;practical. This enables us to make (and, if necessary, refute);testable hypotheses about brain function. The overall goal is to make;cognitive research into an empirical science, rather than the purely;philosophical domain it has been for centuries.;My master's thesis, ``Tilt Aftereffects in a Self-Organizing Model of;the Primary Visual Cortex'', is nearly complete. The abstract:; Visual illusions and aftereffects have long been studied by; psychologists and vision researchers because these apparent functional; failures might offer insight into how visual processing is carried out; by the brain. A particular class of visual illusions called tilt; illusions and tilt aftereffects are thought to arise in the primary; visual cortex of humans, and thus serve as test cases for theories; about that area of the brain. Specifically, several researchers have; proposed that they result from lateral inhibition between neurons; receiving visual input.;; The thesis examines tilt illusions and aftereffects in;; RF-LISSOM (Sirosh and Miikkulainen, 1995), a self-organizing model; of the primary visual cortex that incorporates such lateral interactions.; It is demonstrated that the self-organizing principles driving RF-LISSOM; result in aftereffects which are qualitatively and quantitatively; similar to those measured in humans. On the basis of these results,; a new explanation for so-called ``indirect effects'' (interactions; between lines with very different orientations) is proposed in the; thesis. The self-organizing model should also apply to other figural; aftereffects, such as spatial frequency aftereffects, which we predict; result from the same lateral interaction processes.;A preliminary report of the research is available as;a PostScript file. I am also beginning my doctoral research,;which will include further simulations of detailed low-level visual;behavior, using an extension of the RF-LISSOM model.;Contact Information; Email: jbednar@cs.utexas.edu; Mailing address:; The University of Texas at Austin; Department of Computer Sciences ,; TAY 2.124; Austin , TX 78712-1188; Information from the finger command; Machines I am logged into in this department;My resume, in Postscript or ASCII format; Links to the Web (Probably outdated.); Old Papers (Not too interesting.);jbednar@cs.utexas.edu;Last updated: July 9, 1996;",student,61,2,3124,[131] +http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/jfang,"HomePage;HOME OF;JUN;FANG;Hi!

I warmly encourage you to;consider volunteering for a presentation: it will give you an excellent;opportunity to improve your communication skills.;Problem Sets;In this and all subsequent problem sets, you should;conform to the following general guidelines:; ``Prove'' and ``show'' are synonymous. A precise proof is;required when you are asked to ``prove'' or ``show'' something.; To show that something is impossible, you have to give a proof that;makes it clear that the problem cannot be solved, no matter what the algorithm;is. It is insufficient to show that a particular algorithm does not work.; Any algorithm that you develop must be accompanied by a proof of;correctness, unless you explicitly told otherwise.; Due: Mon, 5 Feb 1996;Problem 1; The snapshot protocols discussed in class and in the;textbook assume that communication channels are FIFO. Derive a;snapshot protocol for an asynchronous system that does not depend on;the FIFO assumption, and prove it correct (i.e. prove that the;protocol produces a consistent global state). You may assume that at;most one snapshot is being computed at any point during a run.; Note: The book contains a reference to a paper by Mattern that;contains a solution to the problem. I urge you to resist the;temptation to solve the problem by visiting the library...;Problem 2; Taking the snapshot of a distributed computation is a;general technique for computing stable global predicates. More;efficient protocols can be derived for computing specific predicates,;that are often conceptually simpler and more efficient (in terms of;the number of messages they exchange) than a snapshot-based solution.;In this problem you are required to derive such a ``specialized'';protocol for detecting a deadlock in an asynchronous distributed;system. Ideally, your protocol would not need a centralized monitor;process, and would have a message cost of O(n), where n;is the number of processes in the distributed system (a monitor-based;snapshot protocol for detecting deadlock has a cost of O(n*n)).;The suggested solutions to these problems are now;online.

Texas at Austin.;The long-term goal of our research is to develop technology for;constructing and using large, multifunctional knowledge bases on;computers. These knowledge bases would significantly improve current;expert systems and tutoring systems because they contain the broad;knowledge of a domain required to perform multiple tasks and to;explain domain knowledge from multiple viewpoints.;During the past eight years, we have built a large knowledge base in;one area of biology, and developed methods for automatically answering;a variety of questions using the knowledge base. Containing about;180,000 facts concerning 30,000 concepts, our knowledge base is one of;the largest of its kind (i.e. its content is structured and formally;represented). In addition to expanding this knowledge base, we are;also beginning to construct similar knowledge bases in other domains,;most notably, the domain of Distributed Computing.;We are especially encouraged by the results from using our knowledge;base for a variety of AI tasks. Most recently, James Lester used the;biology knowledge base to test his system for explanation generation.;The system generated about 60 explanations, expressed in English,;concerning biological objects and events. In a controlled experiment,;domain experts found little difference between these explanations and;those written by their colleagues.;Currently, we are extending the types of questions that can be;answered using automated reasoning with a large knowledge base. Jeff;Rickel developed a method for ""compositional modeling"", the task;of constructing a model appropriate for answering a prediction;(""what-if"") question. Performing this task well requires building the;simplest model that can adequately answer the question - a daunting;requirement since knowledge bases like ours implicitly contain MANY;models at numerous levels of detail. The Qualitative Process Compiler;and QSIM are used to simulate the models built by Jeff's program.;Finally, we are testing the generality of our research results by;building a knowledge base in another domain - distributed computing;environments (focussing on OSF's DCE) - to construct a help-desk;assistant for automatically answering a proportion of customer's;questions which would otherwise be phoned in to a normal help-desk.;Research Projects;Our completed and ongoing research projects include:; KM/KQL; - our knowledge representation language,; KnEd; - the knowledge base editor,; BKB; - the biology knowledge base,; KASTL; - the viewpoint retriever,; KNIGHT; - explanation and text planning,; FARE; - natural language generation of text plans,; LexEd; - computer-aided maintenance for KB lexicons,; TRIPEL; - compositional modeling for answering prediction questions,; Help-Desk Assistant; - the DCE Help-Desk Assistant project.;Researchers; Bruce Porter; (porter@cs.utexas.edu); Rich Mallory; (mallory@cs.utexas.edu); Art Souther; (souther@cs.utexas.edu); Charles Callaway; (theorist@cs.utexas.edu); Fred Prado (prado@cs.utexas.edu); Carl Andersen (searcher@cs.utexas.edu); Steve Correl (correl@cs.utexas.edu);Recent alumni and alumnae:; Liane Acker (acker@austin.ibm.com); Erik Eilerts; (eilerts@cs.utexas.edu); Ray Bareiss (bareiss@ils.nwu.edu); Brad Blumenthal; Karl Branting; (karl@eolus.uwyo.edu); Peter Clark; (clarkp@redwood.rt.cs.boeing.com);; James Lester (lester@adm.csc.ncsu.edu); Ken Murray (murray@cyc.com); Jeff Rickel (rickel@isi.edu);Publications;Click;here to see some selected publications from our group.;Other Related KB Projects;Click here;for an extensive collection of pointers to other KB projects around;the world.;porter@cs.utexas.edu;",project,92,1,3926,[] +http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/miranker,"Daniel Miranker's home page; Welcome to; Daniel Miranker's; Belated Web Presence;(under construction, see something you'd like finished, don't hold your breath,;just send me a note, miranker@cs.utexas.edu, I'll get it to you the old fashion;way.

Such tasks can;be characterized by the following scenario: An agent observes a state;of a dynamic system and selects from a finite set of actions. The;system then enters a new state upon which the agent must select;another action. The system may return a payoff for each decision made;or for a sequence of decisions. The objective is to select the;sequence of actions that return the highest total or cumulative;payoff. In my research, I evolve Neural Networks with Genetic;Algorithms to learn and perform sequential decision tasks.

Current technological trends promise to;dramatically increase the pace of this revolution by enabling the;design of highly cooperative distributed applications that go beyond;the client-server paradigm to harness the computational power of;distributed systems.;In this new environment, the scope and emphasis of fault-tolerant;techniques are about to undergo dramatic changes. Fault-tolerance will;cease to be an expensive feature required by a handful of applications;to tolerate exotic failures. To the users of a highly distributed;information infrastructure, fault-tolerance will translate to a;competitive advantage, guaranteeing reliable access to critical;information.;In this talk we will explore a new way to design and engineer;fault-tolerant solutions, which we call lightweight fault-tolerance.;The goals of lightweight fault-tolerance are:;To require few dedicated resources and have a negligible;impact on performance during failure-free executions.;To scale its cost depending on the severity and number of;failures that need to be tolerated.;To integrate with applications in a way transparent to the;application programmer.;To enable and support emerging applications that will communicate;through messages as well as files.;To address software-generated faults effectively.;Cilk and Cilk-NOW: Adaptive and Reliable Parallel Computing on;Networks of Workstations;Robert Blumofe;This presentation overviews Cilk (pronounced;""silk""), an algorithmic parallel multithreaded language, and;Cilk-NOW, a runtime system that supports a functional;subset of Cilk on networks of workstations. Cilk-NOW provides;""adaptive parallelism"" and fault tolerance tranparently to;user programs. Adaptive parallelism means that the set of;workstations on which a Cilk program runs can grow and shrink;dynamically depending on the availability of idle workstations and on;the amount of parallelism within the program. In addition, a Cilk;program can continue execution even if one or more of its workstations;crashes, because the Cilk-NOW runtime system automatically detects and;recovers from such failures. The presentation includes a live;demonstration.;Distributed I/O: from Clusters to Internets;Mike Dahlin;This presentation gives an overview of current issues in;distributed file system I/O. Technology trends and new applications;motivate more aggressive cluster and wide area network I/O systems. In;clusters, fast networks allow machines to cooperate closely to service;I/O requests. The xFS file system uses close cooperation among nodes;to provide better performance and availability than a single central;server. In wide area networks, the challenge is to provide good;performance, availability, and consistency despite limited network;performance and node or network failures. The wFS file system project;will explore these issues.;The Spatial Semantic Hierarchy for Human and Robot Cognitive Maps;Benjamin Kuipers;Human cognitive maps rely on several different representations for;large-scale space, each with its own ontology. Similarly, a variety;of different approaches have been proposed for robot exploration and;mapping of unknown environments. We cast these diverse;representations into a natural structure that we call the Spatial;Semantic Hierarchy (SSH), in which the objects, relations, and;assumptions at each level are abstracted from the levels below.;Each level of the SSH has its own mathematical foundation. The;control level allows the robot and its environment to be formalized as;a continuous dynamical system, whose stable equilibrium points can be;abstracted to a discrete set of ""distinctive states."";Trajectories linking these states can be abstracted to actions, giving;a discrete causal graph representation of the state space. The causal;graph of states and actions can in turn be abstracted to a topological;network of places and paths. Local metrical models, such as occupancy;grids, of neighborhoods of places and paths can then be built on the;framework of the topological network without their usual problems of;global consistency.;Mathematical Principles of Logic Programming;Vladimir Lifschitz;Logic programming, as well as its sister approach, functional;programming, is based on the view that a computer program does not;need to contain any explicit operational instructions. Instead, it;can simply provide a set of facts about the problem that is sufficient;to solve it. Such a ""declarative"" program can be executed;using methods of automated reasoning. Prolog is the best known logic;programming language.;The mathematical theory of logic programming is concerned with;defining the semantics of logic programming languages, describing the;reasoning algorithms used to implement them, and investigating the;soundness of these algorithms.;Adaptive Libraries and High Level Optimization;Calvin Lin;This talk describes a new approach to building software libraries.;By making libraries that can adapt---in both their implementation and;their interfaces---to different application needs and different;hardware platforms, we can produce libraries that are more efficient;and more widely usable. We describe a new framework for building such;libraries, we describe three planned experiments that apply these;techniques to libraries for parallel scientific computation, and we;explain how our approach facilitates high level optimizations.;Learning Sequential Decision Tasks Through Symbiotic Evolution of;Neural Networks;Risto Miikkulainen;A novel reinforcement learning method called SANE;(Symbiotic, Adaptive Neuro-Evolution) evolves a population of neurons;through genetic algorithms to form a neural network for a given task.;Symbiotic evolution promotes both cooperation and specialization in;the population, which results in a fast, efficient genetic search and;discourages convergence to suboptimal solutions. SANE is able to;extract domain-specific information even under sparse reinforcement,;which makes it an effective approach to a broad range of sequential;decision tasks such as robot control, game playing, and resource;management.;Alamo: The Net as a Data Warehouse;Dan Miranker;The Alamo effort is directed at intra-net development, and;inter-net users who can enumerate interesting sites and data;sources. The goal is to integrate the data sources and provide the;user with the illusion of a single virtual database, followed by;query, analysis and presentation tools.;Central to the Alamo architecture is a software bus called the;Abstract Search Machine (ASM). The ASM is a CORBA compliant interface;that provides a uniform interface to heterogeneous data;sources. Beyond simple data access, the ASM embodies a higher level of;abstraction enabling the efficient coding of clever search algorithms;and separating and isolating system concerns, including buffering and;data prefetch.;The broad claim is that high performance, often optimal,;implementations of advanced database facilities such as an;object-oriented query engine, a deductive inference engine, an active;database engine and data mining facilities can all be constructed;using the ASM as a common interface.;Finally, since the output of each of these advanced database;facilities can themselves serve as data sources, the components of the;Alamo architecture can be composed to resolve higher level data;integration problems. In particular we anticipate using the elements;of Alamo itself to represent meta-data and resolve both structural and;semantic conflicts among the data sources. Ultimately, further;compositions will embody complex knowledge-bases and be able to answer;high-level queries.;Learning to Process Natural Language Using Inductive Logic;Programming;Raymond J. Mooney;Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) addresses the problem of learning;Prolog programs from examples. The representational power of;first-order logic offers advantages over standard machine learning;methods constrained to use fixed-length feature vectors. We are;applying ILP methods to natural-language learning where we believe;this richer representation offers important advantages. We have;developed an ILP system, CHILL, for learning deterministic parsers;from a corpus of parsed sentences. CHILL obtains superior results on;several artificial corpora previously used to test neural-network;methods, and encouraging results on the more realistic ATIS corpus of;airline queries. CHILL has also been used to the automatically;develop a complete natural-language interface that translates English;database queries into executable Prolog form, producing a more;accurate parser than a hand-built system for querying a small;geographic database. We have also developed an ILP system, FOIDL,;which has been applied to learning the past tense of English,;surpassing the previous results of neural-network and decision-tree;methods on this problem.;Software Reuse by Specialization of Generic Procedures through;Views;Gordon S. Novak Jr.;Software reuse is clearly a good idea, but it is difficult to;achieve in practice: if your data does not fit the assumptions of the;software, reusing the software will be difficult. In our approach,;views describe how application data types implement the abstract types;used in generic procedures. A compilation process can specialize a;generic procedure to produce a version that is customized for the;application data. Graphical user interfaces make it easy to specify;views. An Automatic Programming Server has been implemented on the;World Wide Web; it will write specialized programs for the user, in a;desired language, and serve the source code to the user as a file.;Analysis of Algorithms;Greg Plaxton;A major focus of theoretical computer science is the design and;analysis of asymptotically efficient algorithms;(sequential/parallel/distributed, deterministic/randomized) for;specific computational problems. In this research area, it is not;uncommon to come across well-written papers in which, informally: (i);the main underlying ideas are conceptually straightforward, (ii) the;formal presentation is surprisingly lengthy, and (iii) most of the;formalism deals with minor side-issues and special cases that have;little or nothing to do with the main underlying ideas. In such;papers, there seems to be a significant gap between the conceptual and;formal difficulty of the algorithm being presented. Are such gaps;inherent, or is conventional mathematical notation simply inadequate;for succinctly formalizing certain conceptually straightforward;algorithmic ideas?;In this talk, I will describe a notation for asymptotic analysis,;called $O_i$-notation, that significantly reduces the;""conceptual-to-formal gap"" associated with a non-trivial;class of algorithms. As a concrete example, I consider the analysis;of the well-known linear-time selection algorithm due to Blum, Floyd,;Pratt, Rivest, and Tarjan.;The Design and Evaluation of Parallel Algorithms;Vijaya Ramachandran;The design and analysis of efficient parallel algorithms for;combinatorial problems has been an area of extensive study in recent;years, and a large number of algorithms have been developed on the;abstract PRAM model of parallel computation. In this talk we will;describe some of our work in the design of efficient parallel;algorithms, and our experience with implementing and evaluating these;algorithms on a massively parallel machine (Maspar MP-1). We will then;describe a ""queuing"" variant of the PRAM model, which we;propose as a more appropriate model for currently available parallel;shared-memory machines than traditional PRAM models.;Extensible Languages, Open Compilers, and Reflection;Paul Wilson;Extensible languages allow interesting new features to be added to;a language portably, from within the language itself.;Open compilers allow fairly easy modification of compilers to add;new features, analyses, and optimizations.;Reflection allows a program to examine a representation of;interesting parts of itself, and affect its own structure;accordingly.;I'll discuss these things, why they're useful for building modular,;portable, and adapatable software.

We have developed GenVoca, a;domain-independent model of software construction that defines systems as algebraic;equations, where terms are components. GenVoca has been successfully applied to;many domains including database management systems, avionics, and data structures.;Our results have demonstrated GenVoca generators can substantially improve;productivity and application run-time performance.;If this is your first visit and you have questions on what is the best place to start, take a look at Getting Started.;Research Group Members;Getting Started;Project Index;Publications;Software Distributions;Related Web Pages: UTCS General; Members;Don Batory Professor;Angela Dappert Ph.D. Student;Guillermo Jimenez-PerezPh.D. Student;Jeff ThomasPh.D. Student;Lance Tokuda Ph.D. Student;Yannis Smaragdakis Ph.D. Student;K.T ShepherdResearch Associate;Former Members;and Graduation DatesDinesh DasPh.D. May 1995;Millie VillarrealPh.D. December 1994;Bart GeraciPostdoc Sep 1993 - Sep 1994;Marty SirkinPh.D. March 1994;Sankar DasariM.Sc. May 1994;Overview (Getting Started);Software components that are used by generators to build software systems are not typical software modules. Components;encapsulate a feature of a domain that many systems of that domain may share. For this to be possible, components must encapsulate;refinements of many different parts (e.g., classes) of a software system. Some of these refinements require the manipulation of;metadata and reflective computations. Thus, it is likely that our basic approach goes beyond simple object-orientation to that of;large-scale program transformations.;To get a feel for the basic issues involved and the breadth of;GenVoca's applicability, I'd recommend the following papers for;starters (and read them in this order):;Scalable Software Libraries;Creating Reference Architectures...;The Design and Implementation...;Composition Validation and Subjectivity...;If you are looking for specific results (improvement in productivity,;performance) that can be delivered by generators, or the;relationship of our work to design patterns, check out (in order):;Reengineering a Complex Application...;P2: A Lightweight DBMS Generator;Memory Simulators and Software Generators;Automated Software Evolution via Design Patterns...;For further information, please contact Don Batory (batory@cs.utexas.edu).

I seek to use;the dramatic advances in computing technology over the past few;decades to make equally dramatic advances in our understanding of the;human mind. With the computing power now available and soon to be;available, realistic simulations of cortical processing are becoming;practical. This enables us to make (and, if necessary, refute);testable hypotheses about brain function. The overall goal is to make;cognitive research into an empirical science, rather than the purely;philosophical domain it has been for centuries.;My master's thesis, ``Tilt Aftereffects in a Self-Organizing Model of;the Primary Visual Cortex'', is nearly complete. The abstract:; Visual illusions and aftereffects have long been studied by; psychologists and vision researchers because these apparent functional; failures might offer insight into how visual processing is carried out; by the brain. A particular class of visual illusions called tilt; illusions and tilt aftereffects are thought to arise in the primary; visual cortex of humans, and thus serve as test cases for theories; about that area of the brain. Specifically, several researchers have; proposed that they result from lateral inhibition between neurons; receiving visual input.;; The thesis examines tilt illusions and aftereffects in;; RF-LISSOM (Sirosh and Miikkulainen, 1995), a self-organizing model; of the primary visual cortex that incorporates such lateral interactions.; It is demonstrated that the self-organizing principles driving RF-LISSOM; result in aftereffects which are qualitatively and quantitatively; similar to those measured in humans. On the basis of these results,; a new explanation for so-called ``indirect effects'' (interactions; between lines with very different orientations) is proposed in the; thesis. The self-organizing model should also apply to other figural; aftereffects, such as spatial frequency aftereffects, which we predict; result from the same lateral interaction processes.;A preliminary report of the research is available as;a PostScript file. I am also beginning my doctoral research,;which will include further simulations of detailed low-level visual;behavior, using an extension of the RF-LISSOM model.;Contact Information; Email: jbednar@cs.utexas.edu; Mailing address:; The University of Texas at Austin; Department of Computer Sciences ,; TAY 2.124; Austin , TX 78712-1188; Information from the finger command; Machines I am logged into in this department;My resume, in Postscript or ASCII format; Links to the Web (Probably outdated.); Old Papers (Not too interesting.);jbednar@cs.utexas.edu;Last updated: July 9, 1996;" +"HomePage;HOME OF;JUN;FANG;Hi!

These include:; global states (cuts, logical and vector clocks, causal message;delivery, global property detection); message logging and checkpointing; replication management (state machine approach, primary backup;approach); agreement protocols (Byzantine agreement, ordered multicast); group programming (techniques and applications); distributed file systems (caching, disconnected operations); time services (Byzantine clock synchronization, NTP); security (encryption, authentication, security in group programming);We will integrate the discussion of the general principles with the;presentation of case studies that exemplify how such principles;have been used to design and implement real systems.;Other topics, depending on time and interest, will be presented by me;or by some of you (the size of the class does not allow all of you to give a;presentation). Such topics may include:; distributed shared memory; distributed objects; kernel support for distributed systems; weak consistency for replica management; protocols for electronic commerce; protocols for wide-area networks;Grading;There will be 4 or 5 written homework assignment. Solutions will be;graded F, B, or A. Any solution that demonstrates a credible effort on;behalf of its authors (whether the solution is right or wrong) will;receive a B or better.;Collaboration on homework assignment by up to three students is;permitted and encouraged, but not required. When there is such a;collaboration, a single solution should be submitted for;grading, with the names of the collaborators. Other collaborations;will be considered violations of Academic Integrity.;There will be a written, take-home midterm examination, for which no;collaboration will be allowed.;There will be no final exam. Each student however will be required to;write a final paper (about 20 pages) that surveys one of the issues;that we have discussed in class. A list of suggested topics will be;distributed in class on Monday 4/8. The paper is due at the start of;the last class, Wednesday 5/1: hence, you will have 4 weeks to;complete the paper.;You can also team up with a colleague and prepare one or two;lectures on a topic not previously covered in class. If you choose;this option, you and your colleague will only be required to write a;single survey paper of about 20 pages. I warmly encourage you to;consider volunteering for a presentation: it will give you an excellent;opportunity to improve your communication skills.;Problem Sets;In this and all subsequent problem sets, you should;conform to the following general guidelines:; ``Prove'' and ``show'' are synonymous. A precise proof is;required when you are asked to ``prove'' or ``show'' something.; To show that something is impossible, you have to give a proof that;makes it clear that the problem cannot be solved, no matter what the algorithm;is. It is insufficient to show that a particular algorithm does not work.; Any algorithm that you develop must be accompanied by a proof of;correctness, unless you explicitly told otherwise.; Due: Mon, 5 Feb 1996;Problem 1; The snapshot protocols discussed in class and in the;textbook assume that communication channels are FIFO. Derive a;snapshot protocol for an asynchronous system that does not depend on;the FIFO assumption, and prove it correct (i.e. prove that the;protocol produces a consistent global state). You may assume that at;most one snapshot is being computed at any point during a run.; Note: The book contains a reference to a paper by Mattern that;contains a solution to the problem. I urge you to resist the;temptation to solve the problem by visiting the library...;Problem 2; Taking the snapshot of a distributed computation is a;general technique for computing stable global predicates. More;efficient protocols can be derived for computing specific predicates,;that are often conceptually simpler and more efficient (in terms of;the number of messages they exchange) than a snapshot-based solution.;In this problem you are required to derive such a ``specialized'';protocol for detecting a deadlock in an asynchronous distributed;system. Ideally, your protocol would not need a centralized monitor;process, and would have a message cost of O(n), where n;is the number of processes in the distributed system (a monitor-based;snapshot protocol for detecting deadlock has a cost of O(n*n)).;The suggested solutions to these problems are now;online.

Texas at Austin.;The long-term goal of our research is to develop technology for;constructing and using large, multifunctional knowledge bases on;computers. These knowledge bases would significantly improve current;expert systems and tutoring systems because they contain the broad;knowledge of a domain required to perform multiple tasks and to;explain domain knowledge from multiple viewpoints.;During the past eight years, we have built a large knowledge base in;one area of biology, and developed methods for automatically answering;a variety of questions using the knowledge base. Containing about;180,000 facts concerning 30,000 concepts, our knowledge base is one of;the largest of its kind (i.e. its content is structured and formally;represented). In addition to expanding this knowledge base, we are;also beginning to construct similar knowledge bases in other domains,;most notably, the domain of Distributed Computing.;We are especially encouraged by the results from using our knowledge;base for a variety of AI tasks. Most recently, James Lester used the;biology knowledge base to test his system for explanation generation.;The system generated about 60 explanations, expressed in English,;concerning biological objects and events. In a controlled experiment,;domain experts found little difference between these explanations and;those written by their colleagues.;Currently, we are extending the types of questions that can be;answered using automated reasoning with a large knowledge base. Jeff;Rickel developed a method for ""compositional modeling"", the task;of constructing a model appropriate for answering a prediction;(""what-if"") question. Performing this task well requires building the;simplest model that can adequately answer the question - a daunting;requirement since knowledge bases like ours implicitly contain MANY;models at numerous levels of detail. The Qualitative Process Compiler;and QSIM are used to simulate the models built by Jeff's program.;Finally, we are testing the generality of our research results by;building a knowledge base in another domain - distributed computing;environments (focussing on OSF's DCE) - to construct a help-desk;assistant for automatically answering a proportion of customer's;questions which would otherwise be phoned in to a normal help-desk.;Research Projects;Our completed and ongoing research projects include:; KM/KQL; - our knowledge representation language,; KnEd; - the knowledge base editor,; BKB; - the biology knowledge base,; KASTL; - the viewpoint retriever,; KNIGHT; - explanation and text planning,; FARE; - natural language generation of text plans,; LexEd; - computer-aided maintenance for KB lexicons,; TRIPEL; - compositional modeling for answering prediction questions,; Help-Desk Assistant; - the DCE Help-Desk Assistant project.;Researchers; Bruce Porter; (porter@cs.utexas.edu); Rich Mallory; (mallory@cs.utexas.edu); Art Souther; (souther@cs.utexas.edu); Charles Callaway; (theorist@cs.utexas.edu); Fred Prado (prado@cs.utexas.edu); Carl Andersen (searcher@cs.utexas.edu); Steve Correl (correl@cs.utexas.edu);Recent alumni and alumnae:; Liane Acker (acker@austin.ibm.com); Erik Eilerts; (eilerts@cs.utexas.edu); Ray Bareiss (bareiss@ils.nwu.edu); Brad Blumenthal; Karl Branting; (karl@eolus.uwyo.edu); Peter Clark; (clarkp@redwood.rt.cs.boeing.com);; James Lester (lester@adm.csc.ncsu.edu); Ken Murray (murray@cyc.com); Jeff Rickel (rickel@isi.edu);Publications;Click;here to see some selected publications from our group.;Other Related KB Projects;Click here;for an extensive collection of pointers to other KB projects around;the world.;porter@cs.utexas.edu;" +"Daniel Miranker's home page; Welcome to; Daniel Miranker's; Belated Web Presence;(under construction, see something you'd like finished, don't hold your breath,;just send me a note, miranker@cs.utexas.edu, I'll get it to you the old fashion;way.

Such tasks can;be characterized by the following scenario: An agent observes a state;of a dynamic system and selects from a finite set of actions. The;system then enters a new state upon which the agent must select;another action. The system may return a payoff for each decision made;or for a sequence of decisions. The objective is to select the;sequence of actions that return the highest total or cumulative;payoff. In my research, I evolve Neural Networks with Genetic;Algorithms to learn and perform sequential decision tasks. I am;particularly interested in tasks where problem-specific knowledge is;currently unavailable or costly to obtain. Some domains that I have;studied include game playing, intelligent control, and constraint;satisfaction.

Currently I am finishing a thesis to obtain the MSc in; Computer Sciences Department at The;University of Texas at Austin. During my graduate studies in physics I worked;investigating a gauge theory of gravity based on the group ISL(4,R). The aim;was to quantize the gravitational field. I calculated the invariants for this;group and their unitary irreducible representations. This was published in;three joint papers with one of my dissertation advisors, Yuval Ne'eman (my;other dissertation advisor was George Sudarshan) and with Jurgen Lemke from;Cologne, Germany.

The research areas are: UNITY,;Powerlists and Seuss.;Current and former members of the group;include:; Jayadev Misra; Will Adams; Al Carruth; Ernie Cohen (graduated 1992); Rajeev Joshi; Markus Kaltenbach (graduated 1996); Edgar Knapp (graduated 1992); Jacob Kornerup; Ingolf Krüger (graduated 1996); Josyula R Rao (graduated 1992); Mark Staskauskas (graduated 1992);Publications;Below we summarize the areas we work in; wherever possible we give links to;papers that are available electronically.; UNITY;UNITY is a programming notation and a logic to reason about parallel and;distributed programs. Unity is presented in the book: J. Misra and K.;M. Chandy, Parallel Program Design: A Foundation,;Addison-Wesley, 1988.;The notes on UNITY is a series of;papers presenting various results about UNITY and its applications. The;notes assumes a basic understanding of the UNITY theory as presented in;Chandy and Misra's book.;Since the publication of the book several improvements have been made in;the theory, some of which are reflected in the notes on UNITY, Jayadev Misra has written a;manuscript for a book that presents the New;UNITY, this includes the introduction of a new temporal operator;co for specifying safety.;See further UNITY references for;references to other papers and implementations.;Markus Kaltenbach is currently writing a;symbolic model checker for;finite state UNITY programs, called the UNITY;Verifier (UV).;Al Carruth has extended the UNITY logic to;include real time aspects of computing and hybrid systems.; Powerlists;Powerlists is a notation for synchronous parallel programs and circuits.;The data structure is a list of length equal to a power of two, with two;different operations for balanced divisions of lists. Many parallel;algorithms have a succinct presentation and simple proofs in the;powerlist notation. Jayadev Misra's paper Powerlists:;A Structure for Parallel Recursion presents the notation and gives;numerous examples of algorithms and proofs of their correctness,;including the Fast Fourier Transform and Batcher's sorting network.;Will Adams has studied how different arithmetic circuits, such as;adders and multipliers, can be specified and proved correct in the;powerlist notation. His paper Verifying adder;circuits using powerlists is available.;Jacob Kornerup has studied how powerlist programs;can be mapped efficiently to different parallel architectures, specially;hypercubes. See his List of;papers for details.; Seuss;Seuss is an offspring of the work on UNITY. It addresses the issue of;program composition, by restricting how program components can;interfere with each other. For an introduction to Seuss, read the Overview of Seuss. A few chapters from;a monograph A;Discipline of Multiprogramming written by Jayadev Misra are also;available.

Current technological trends promise to;dramatically increase the pace of this revolution by enabling the;design of highly cooperative distributed applications that go beyond;the client-server paradigm to harness the computational power of;distributed systems.;In this new environment, the scope and emphasis of fault-tolerant;techniques are about to undergo dramatic changes. Fault-tolerance will;cease to be an expensive feature required by a handful of applications;to tolerate exotic failures. To the users of a highly distributed;information infrastructure, fault-tolerance will translate to a;competitive advantage, guaranteeing reliable access to critical;information.;In this talk we will explore a new way to design and engineer;fault-tolerant solutions, which we call lightweight fault-tolerance.;The goals of lightweight fault-tolerance are:;To require few dedicated resources and have a negligible;impact on performance during failure-free executions.;To scale its cost depending on the severity and number of;failures that need to be tolerated.;To integrate with applications in a way transparent to the;application programmer.;To enable and support emerging applications that will communicate;through messages as well as files.;To address software-generated faults effectively.;Cilk and Cilk-NOW: Adaptive and Reliable Parallel Computing on;Networks of Workstations;Robert Blumofe;This presentation overviews Cilk (pronounced;""silk""), an algorithmic parallel multithreaded language, and;Cilk-NOW, a runtime system that supports a functional;subset of Cilk on networks of workstations. Cilk-NOW provides;""adaptive parallelism"" and fault tolerance tranparently to;user programs. Adaptive parallelism means that the set of;workstations on which a Cilk program runs can grow and shrink;dynamically depending on the availability of idle workstations and on;the amount of parallelism within the program. In addition, a Cilk;program can continue execution even if one or more of its workstations;crashes, because the Cilk-NOW runtime system automatically detects and;recovers from such failures. The presentation includes a live;demonstration.;Distributed I/O: from Clusters to Internets;Mike Dahlin;This presentation gives an overview of current issues in;distributed file system I/O. Technology trends and new applications;motivate more aggressive cluster and wide area network I/O systems. In;clusters, fast networks allow machines to cooperate closely to service;I/O requests. The xFS file system uses close cooperation among nodes;to provide better performance and availability than a single central;server. In wide area networks, the challenge is to provide good;performance, availability, and consistency despite limited network;performance and node or network failures. The wFS file system project;will explore these issues.;The Spatial Semantic Hierarchy for Human and Robot Cognitive Maps;Benjamin Kuipers;Human cognitive maps rely on several different representations for;large-scale space, each with its own ontology. Similarly, a variety;of different approaches have been proposed for robot exploration and;mapping of unknown environments. We cast these diverse;representations into a natural structure that we call the Spatial;Semantic Hierarchy (SSH), in which the objects, relations, and;assumptions at each level are abstracted from the levels below.;Each level of the SSH has its own mathematical foundation. The;control level allows the robot and its environment to be formalized as;a continuous dynamical system, whose stable equilibrium points can be;abstracted to a discrete set of ""distinctive states."";Trajectories linking these states can be abstracted to actions, giving;a discrete causal graph representation of the state space. The causal;graph of states and actions can in turn be abstracted to a topological;network of places and paths. Local metrical models, such as occupancy;grids, of neighborhoods of places and paths can then be built on the;framework of the topological network without their usual problems of;global consistency.;Mathematical Principles of Logic Programming;Vladimir Lifschitz;Logic programming, as well as its sister approach, functional;programming, is based on the view that a computer program does not;need to contain any explicit operational instructions. Instead, it;can simply provide a set of facts about the problem that is sufficient;to solve it. Such a ""declarative"" program can be executed;using methods of automated reasoning. Prolog is the best known logic;programming language.;The mathematical theory of logic programming is concerned with;defining the semantics of logic programming languages, describing the;reasoning algorithms used to implement them, and investigating the;soundness of these algorithms.;Adaptive Libraries and High Level Optimization;Calvin Lin;This talk describes a new approach to building software libraries.;By making libraries that can adapt---in both their implementation and;their interfaces---to different application needs and different;hardware platforms, we can produce libraries that are more efficient;and more widely usable. We describe a new framework for building such;libraries, we describe three planned experiments that apply these;techniques to libraries for parallel scientific computation, and we;explain how our approach facilitates high level optimizations.;Learning Sequential Decision Tasks Through Symbiotic Evolution of;Neural Networks;Risto Miikkulainen;A novel reinforcement learning method called SANE;(Symbiotic, Adaptive Neuro-Evolution) evolves a population of neurons;through genetic algorithms to form a neural network for a given task.;Symbiotic evolution promotes both cooperation and specialization in;the population, which results in a fast, efficient genetic search and;discourages convergence to suboptimal solutions. SANE is able to;extract domain-specific information even under sparse reinforcement,;which makes it an effective approach to a broad range of sequential;decision tasks such as robot control, game playing, and resource;management.;Alamo: The Net as a Data Warehouse;Dan Miranker;The Alamo effort is directed at intra-net development, and;inter-net users who can enumerate interesting sites and data;sources. The goal is to integrate the data sources and provide the;user with the illusion of a single virtual database, followed by;query, analysis and presentation tools.;Central to the Alamo architecture is a software bus called the;Abstract Search Machine (ASM). The ASM is a CORBA compliant interface;that provides a uniform interface to heterogeneous data;sources. Beyond simple data access, the ASM embodies a higher level of;abstraction enabling the efficient coding of clever search algorithms;and separating and isolating system concerns, including buffering and;data prefetch.;The broad claim is that high performance, often optimal,;implementations of advanced database facilities such as an;object-oriented query engine, a deductive inference engine, an active;database engine and data mining facilities can all be constructed;using the ASM as a common interface.;Finally, since the output of each of these advanced database;facilities can themselves serve as data sources, the components of the;Alamo architecture can be composed to resolve higher level data;integration problems. In particular we anticipate using the elements;of Alamo itself to represent meta-data and resolve both structural and;semantic conflicts among the data sources. Ultimately, further;compositions will embody complex knowledge-bases and be able to answer;high-level queries.;Learning to Process Natural Language Using Inductive Logic;Programming;Raymond J. Mooney;Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) addresses the problem of learning;Prolog programs from examples. The representational power of;first-order logic offers advantages over standard machine learning;methods constrained to use fixed-length feature vectors. We are;applying ILP methods to natural-language learning where we believe;this richer representation offers important advantages. We have;developed an ILP system, CHILL, for learning deterministic parsers;from a corpus of parsed sentences. CHILL obtains superior results on;several artificial corpora previously used to test neural-network;methods, and encouraging results on the more realistic ATIS corpus of;airline queries. CHILL has also been used to the automatically;develop a complete natural-language interface that translates English;database queries into executable Prolog form, producing a more;accurate parser than a hand-built system for querying a small;geographic database. We have also developed an ILP system, FOIDL,;which has been applied to learning the past tense of English,;surpassing the previous results of neural-network and decision-tree;methods on this problem.;Software Reuse by Specialization of Generic Procedures through;Views;Gordon S. Novak Jr.;Software reuse is clearly a good idea, but it is difficult to;achieve in practice: if your data does not fit the assumptions of the;software, reusing the software will be difficult. In our approach,;views describe how application data types implement the abstract types;used in generic procedures. A compilation process can specialize a;generic procedure to produce a version that is customized for the;application data. Graphical user interfaces make it easy to specify;views. An Automatic Programming Server has been implemented on the;World Wide Web; it will write specialized programs for the user, in a;desired language, and serve the source code to the user as a file.;Analysis of Algorithms;Greg Plaxton;A major focus of theoretical computer science is the design and;analysis of asymptotically efficient algorithms;(sequential/parallel/distributed, deterministic/randomized) for;specific computational problems. In this research area, it is not;uncommon to come across well-written papers in which, informally: (i);the main underlying ideas are conceptually straightforward, (ii) the;formal presentation is surprisingly lengthy, and (iii) most of the;formalism deals with minor side-issues and special cases that have;little or nothing to do with the main underlying ideas. In such;papers, there seems to be a significant gap between the conceptual and;formal difficulty of the algorithm being presented. Are such gaps;inherent, or is conventional mathematical notation simply inadequate;for succinctly formalizing certain conceptually straightforward;algorithmic ideas?;In this talk, I will describe a notation for asymptotic analysis,;called $O_i$-notation, that significantly reduces the;""conceptual-to-formal gap"" associated with a non-trivial;class of algorithms. As a concrete example, I consider the analysis;of the well-known linear-time selection algorithm due to Blum, Floyd,;Pratt, Rivest, and Tarjan.;The Design and Evaluation of Parallel Algorithms;Vijaya Ramachandran;The design and analysis of efficient parallel algorithms for;combinatorial problems has been an area of extensive study in recent;years, and a large number of algorithms have been developed on the;abstract PRAM model of parallel computation. In this talk we will;describe some of our work in the design of efficient parallel;algorithms, and our experience with implementing and evaluating these;algorithms on a massively parallel machine (Maspar MP-1). We will then;describe a ""queuing"" variant of the PRAM model, which we;propose as a more appropriate model for currently available parallel;shared-memory machines than traditional PRAM models.;Extensible Languages, Open Compilers, and Reflection;Paul Wilson;Extensible languages allow interesting new features to be added to;a language portably, from within the language itself.;Open compilers allow fairly easy modification of compilers to add;new features, analyses, and optimizations.;Reflection allows a program to examine a representation of;interesting parts of itself, and affect its own structure;accordingly.;I'll discuss these things, why they're useful for building modular,;portable, and adapatable software.

We have developed GenVoca, a;domain-independent model of software construction that defines systems as algebraic;equations, where terms are components. GenVoca has been successfully applied to;many domains including database management systems, avionics, and data structures.;Our results have demonstrated GenVoca generators can substantially improve;productivity and application run-time performance.;If this is your first visit and you have questions on what is the best place to start, take a look at Getting Started.;Research Group Members;Getting Started;Project Index;Publications;Software Distributions;Related Web Pages: UTCS General; Members;Don Batory Professor;Angela Dappert Ph.D. Student;Guillermo Jimenez-PerezPh.D. Student;Jeff ThomasPh.D. Student;Lance Tokuda Ph.D. Student;Yannis Smaragdakis Ph.D. Student;K.T ShepherdResearch Associate;Former Members;and Graduation DatesDinesh DasPh.D. May 1995;Millie VillarrealPh.D. December 1994;Bart GeraciPostdoc Sep 1993 - Sep 1994;Marty SirkinPh.D. March 1994;Sankar DasariM.Sc. May 1994;Overview (Getting Started);Software components that are used by generators to build software systems are not typical software modules. Components;encapsulate a feature of a domain that many systems of that domain may share. For this to be possible, components must encapsulate;refinements of many different parts (e.g., classes) of a software system. Some of these refinements require the manipulation of;metadata and reflective computations. Thus, it is likely that our basic approach goes beyond simple object-orientation to that of;large-scale program transformations.;To get a feel for the basic issues involved and the breadth of;GenVoca's applicability, I'd recommend the following papers for;starters (and read them in this order):;Scalable Software Libraries;Creating Reference Architectures...;The Design and Implementation...;Composition Validation and Subjectivity...;If you are looking for specific results (improvement in productivity,;performance) that can be delivered by generators, or the;relationship of our work to design patterns, check out (in order):;Reengineering a Complex Application...;P2: A Lightweight DBMS Generator;Memory Simulators and Software Generators;Automated Software Evolution via Design Patterns...;For further information, please contact Don Batory (batory@cs.utexas.edu).

Our attention will focus mainly on two particular programming;languages: Lisp and C. With Lisp, we will explore many issues relevant to;intepreted languages, while with C, we will investigate compilers.;In addition to traditional language issues and techniques, we will also;look into current issues such as visual programming systems and programming;facilities for the World-Wide Web.; January 2.; Facilities:;This quarter, CSE 413 students will have the use of both the MSCC Macintoshes;(running Macintosh Common Lisp 3.0) and the MSCC Unix systems.;MSCC is the;Mathematical Sciences Computing Center. The MSCC Macs are located in the;basement of Thompson Hall. Some of the Macs are in Room 3 and some in Room 9.;While the Macs offer MCL (and a variety of other languages such as Mathematica);the MSCC Unix hosts offer, C, Lex, Yacc, Allegro;Common Lisp, and other software facilities.;Macintosh Common Lisp provides a particularly powerful;environment including full implementation of the Common Lisp standard,;integrated editor (called FRED), and extensive facilities for graphics;and user interface construction. The Macintosh computers are networked,;and files can easily be transferred between them and the Unix host machines;of MSCC.; Students who have difficulty getting to the Macintoshes in;Thompson Hall can supplement their Macintosh work with work on their;own PCs, using such packages as XLISP-STAT for Windows and Micro-Emacs.;However, due to our limited ability to support alternative facilities,;students who wish to work on their own PCs will need to access these;resources themselves from archives on the Internet. Also, note that;XLISP-STAT is a bare-bones implementation of Common Lisp and does not;have the extensive program-development support that MCL has.;While we are fortunate to have the powerful MCL system for this course,;there is one disadvantage of using it---you must use it in the MSCC lab;unless you purchase your own copy of it from;Digitool, Inc..;(MCL normally costs about $500 a copy, but there is a special student deal;allowing students to purchase it for $135.);It has been pointed out that there is a free version of Allegro Common Lisp;for Windows which can be downloaded from franz.com on the Web.;This may be an attractive tool for some students.; Final examination:; The final exam for CSE 413 will be given on Monday, March 11,;in Sieg 325 from 10:30 to 12:20.

The;syllabus gives a list of topics which could be covered.;My use of the term ""shared memory"" is to indicate that we will not be looking;at topics which pertain to specific interconnection topologies. We;will consider some situations where the cost of memory access is;non-uniform.;The course will be a theory course in the sense that we will not;consider particular real machines, we will prove some theorems, and;you will not be expected to log on to a parallel machine. However,;topics may be motivated by practical considerations. Our goal in;developing parallel algorithms will be to come up with algorithms;which could conceivably be efficient on some parallel machines.;I am expecting that there will be three or four problem sets,;containing a mix of routine and challenging problems. I am not going;to require a project, (but I will be happy if students do outside;work on course related topics).;The text for the course will be ""An Introduction to Parallel;Algorithms"" by Ja Ja. This is a nice book, although I will not be;following it very closely. If you are feeling exceptionally cheap, you;could probably get by without purchasing a copy. My original plan,;when I volunteered to teach the course a year ago, was that the text;would be ""A Theory of Shared Memory Parallel Computing"" by Anderson.;However, this book is progressing about as fast as Volume 7 of the Art;of Computer Programming, so I chose the Ja Ja book instead.;I am going to be quite flexible on how this course is taught. My;choice of topics will be influenced by what is considered interesting;or uninteresting. There is also a choice as to teach this course as;either a traditional lecture course, or to work in some research;content. I have a number of open problems in mind which could turn;into very nice research results. I could present my half baked ideas;on some of these, provided that others have the interest and;energy to think about them.;anderson@cs.washington.edu;",course,38,1,3864,[] +http://www.cs.washington.edu/education/courses/531,"CSE 531 Home Page; CSE 531: Automata, Computability, and Complexity;;The 531 web pages have moved:;Current Quarter;Autumn 1991;Autumn 1994;Portions of the CSE 531 Web may be reprinted or adapted for;academic nonprofit purposes, providing the source is accurately;quoted and duly credited.

This paper presents a; cost-effective data-parallel load balancing algorithm which;performs load redistributions only when the possible savings outweigh;the redistribution costs.

Our system was designed as a general scientific database system, but motivated by and intended for use in model-based computer vision.

Ahrens, Fast Data Parallel Polygon Rendering , Supercomputing, November 1993.;This paper describes a data parallel method for polygon rendering on a massively parallel machine. This method, based on a simple shading model, is targeted for applications which require very fast rendering for extremely large sets of polygons. Such sets are found in many scientific visualization applications. The renderer can handle arbitrarily complex polygons which need not be meshed. Issues involving load balancing are addressed and a data parallel load balancing algorithm is presented. This rendering toolkit enables a scientist to display 3D shaded polygons directly from a parallel machine avoiding the transmission of huge amounts of data to a post-processing rendering system.;James P.

I also wrote the machine specific;aspects of the SPIN kernel, such as the system call and interrupt paths, and;some miscellaneous interfaces, such as alarms and mach compatibility support.;The novel;aspects of SPIN threads and scheduling are that they provide the means of;extending a kernel with arbitrary thread implementations and scheduling;policies. Dynamically linking the extensions into the kernel allows;us to achieve high-performance. The interface, called strands, is;designed to be safe and provide fault-isolation.;The novel aspect of the;SPIN protection domain interface is that it allows;isolation and safe fine-grain sharing at the same time. Extensions with;conflicting symbols can be simultaneously active in our system. Further,;extensions can hide some of their code and data such that they can be;assured that no one can possibly access them. The clincher is that extensions;that want to share code and data can do so with no dynamic protection;enforcement overhead.;I also implemented a high-performance;web server on top of the SPIN networking;stack. The main objectives in its design are reduced http latency and;minimal load.;I wrote a MIPS instruction set simulator a couple of years ago, called;MIPSI,;that was robust enough to simulate all the SPEC benchmarks and Standard ML of;New Jersey.

Network nodes with memory-intensive applications can use the primary memory of lightly-loaded nodes as temporary backing store. This introduce a new level of the memory hierarchy: namely, a global memory cache that lies (logically) between local memory and disk.;Because pages are the fundamental transfer and access units in remote memory systems, page size is a key performance factor. Recently, page sizes of modern processors have been increasing in order to provide more TLB coverage and amortize disk access costs. Unfortunately, for high-speed networks, small transfers are needed to provide low latency. This trend in page size is thus at odds with the use of network memory on high-speed networks. We studied the use of subpages as a means of reducing transfer size and latency in a remote-memory environment.;Reducing Network Latency Using Subpages in a Global Memory Environment.;H.A.

We've just bought a house in nearby Menlo Park.; Here is my curriculum vita (postscript). I also have a summary (postscript) of my research and teaching experience.;Projects;I work primarily on the;Cecil project.;Cecil is a new pure object-oriented langauge that we are using as a;vehicle for integrated research in the areas of language design,;programming environments, and optimizing compiler techniques. We;intend for our techniques to scale to large, real-world programs, and;to keep ourselves true to this goal, we're implementing the Vortex;compiler in Cecil. We currently have about 70,000 lines of Cecil code;in the compiler.;;Much of our work in this group involves tracking down compiler bugs.; I also hang out in the SPIN;project meetings. SPIN is an extensible operating system;microkernel which supports the dynamic adaptation of system interfaces;and implementations through direct application control, while still;maintaining system integrity and inter-application isolation.;During Spring quarter, I was one of the organizers for CSE 590K, the department's compiler seminar.;Research Interests;My research concerns the efficient implementation of;object-oriented languages through compiler optimization techniques.;In particular, I am exploring how whole-program analysis can be used;to improve performance, how it affects incremental compilation, and;how it interacts with other optimization techniques, especially;profile-guided optimization techniques. I am also interested in how;whole-program optimization affects language design: if it is assumed;that the compiler will have access to the entire program, then many;compromises made in existing language designs become unnecessary. I;am interested in applying the lessons learned in exploring whole;program optimization towards designing a new systems programming;language that is both flexible and efficient, based on an underlying;implementation that does whole program analysis.;To validate my research, I have been one of the three principal;designers and developers of Vortex, an optimizing compiler for;object-oriented languages. Vortex defines a language-independent;intermediate language for object-oriented languages that is;high-enough level to permit optimization of features such as message;sends, closures, and object creations. It also contains a unique way;of composing optimization passes so that they run in parallel,;obtaining better results than repeatedly running the passes;separately. For example, the compiler applies intraprocedural class;analysis, profile-guided receiver class prediction, inlining, alias;analysis, splitting, and CSE all at once, in a single combined pass.;Part of the work on Vortex has been to develop ways of structuring;optimization passes to permit this kind of composition while still;allowing the passes to be developed largely independently of each;other. We have a nice framework for specifying iterative data flow;analyses that permits clients to develop new optimization passes with;relatively little effort (for example, the Vortex dead assignment;elimination pass is approximately 50 lines of code).;Publications;Some recent papers I've authored or co-authored.;Personal;I love very spicy food (as they say, ""mild is a four letter word"") and Coke. I should probably kick my caffeine habit. Most of my enjoyable moments are spent with my wife Heidi and my daughter Victoria. I would really like to go here someday. My wife and I spent our honeymoon on Kauai during Hurricane Iniki.; I recently won a biplane ride from Galvin Flying here in Seattle (I guess I can't say ""I never win anything!"" anymore). My wife and I took the flight, which consisted of a 20 minute flight around and over downtown Seattle and Puget Sound in a Travel Air 1927 model biplane. I was feeling daring, but, sadly, their insurance coverage doesn't permit passengers to walk on the wing, so we just sat back and enjoyed the ride and the view. It would have been fantastic even if we'd had to pay for it. Highly recommended!

We are all aware of devices, systems, and; structures that can cause catastrophes when they fail. As; computer hardware becomes less expensive and as more expectations; are placed on software, computers are being placed in control of a; wider range of these applications. Software has advantages over; conventional technologies, e.g., flexibility.; But these advantages come at a price. Software behavior can be; very complex and unpredictable. Perhaps the best publicized example is; the Three Mile Island incident, in which operators had great; difficulty in diagnosing the state of the system during an emergency.; The requirements stage of software development is key to a project's; success, especially with respect to safety. For that reason,; my colleagues and I have concentrated on requirements, especially; the communication of requirements via a requirements specification.; To that end we have developed a state-based language called;;Requirements State Machine Language, or RSML.; We have validated the usefulness of this language by; specifying TCAS II,; an avionics system.; For my doctoral thesis I invented a hazard analysis procedure; based on the Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) study.; The most significant concept that this new procedure borrows from; HAZOP is that of a deviation, hence the name deviation; analysis.

In Opal, all code and data exists with in a single, huge,;shared address space. The single address space enhances sharing and;cooperation, because addresses have a unique (for all time);interpretation. Thus, pointer-based data structures can be directly;communicated and shared between programs at any time, and can be;stored directly on secondary storage without the need for translation.;This structure is simplified by the availability of a large address;space, such as those provided by the DEC Alpha, MIPS R4000,;HP/PA-RISC, and IBM RS6000.;Protection in Opal is independent of the single address space;;each Opal thread executes within a protection domain;that defines which virtual pages it has the right to access.;The rights to access a page can be easily transmitted from one;process to another.

All of our work shares;the following features:; We rely a combination of simple hardware support and operating; system modifications to monitor the dynamic behavior of applications.; These monitoring mechanisms incur a small overhead at runtime, but the; information they collect can be used to identify sources of memory; system delays such as cache misses and TLB misses.; By identifying and resolving these bottlenecks, we not only pay for; the overhead of the monitoring mechanisms, but also significantly; improve overall system performance.;In our most recent project, we explored policies that monitor;application memory reference patterns in order to identify and resolve;TLB performance problems. Poor TLB performance results when the TLB;is too small to cover the current application's working set. Several;modern architectures support superpages: pages whose size is a;multiple of the system's base page size. On such systems TLB;performance can be improved by using larger pages, but at the cost of;wasted memory due to internal fragmentation.;We simulated several policies that adapt the page size dynamically to;different regions of an application's address space, constructing;superpages by copying the component pages to a contiguous region of;memory. We developed a policy that monitors TLB misses, and balances;the potential benefit of having a superpage (a reduction in future TLB;misses) against the cost of constructing the superpage (an in-memory;copy). By constructing superpages only when and where TLB miss;patterns warrant, this policy attains the TLB performance of large;pages without their internal fragmentation.;For more details on this project, see our paper; Reducing TLB and Memory Overhead Using Online Superpage Promotion; (ISCA '95, to appear).;We're looking for someone to implement these algorithms -- this would make;a good quals or masters project.;Project Description.;People;Faculty:; Brian Bershad (bershad@cs.washington.edu); Anna Karlin (karlin@cs.washington.edu);Current Students:; Dennis Lee (dlee@cs.washington.edu); Wayne Ohlrich (ohlrich@cs.washington.edu); Ted Romer (romer@cs.washington.edu); Wayne Wong (waynew@cs.washington.edu);Papers; Reducing TLB and Memory Overhead Using Online Superpage Promotion .; Romer, Ohlrich, Karlin, and Bershad.

We want the designers to evaluate different;architectures, rather than forcing a single fixed Processor-Bus-ASIC;architecture.

To;alleviate this problem, modern processors issue multiple instructions per;cycle (i.e., superscalars), or interleave the execution of different;threads in different cycles (multithreaded processors). Ultimately, though,;both techniques are limited by the amount of parallelism available within a;single thread in a single cycle.; Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) is a technique that permits multiple;independent threads to issue instructions to a superscalar's functional;units in a single cycle. SMT combines the multiple-instruction-issue;features of wide superscalar processors with the latency-hiding ability;of multithreaded architectures. On an SMT processor, all hardware contexts;are active simultaneously, competing each cycle for all available resources.;This dynamic sharing of processor resources enables SMT to exploit;thread-level and instruction-level parallelism interchangeably; both forms;of parallelism can be effectively used to increase processor utilization.;Our studies have;demonstrated that simultaneous multithreading significantly improves;processor throughput and performance on both multiprogrammed and parallel;workloads.

Our attention will focus mainly on two particular programming;languages: Lisp and C. With Lisp, we will explore many issues relevant to;intepreted languages, while with C, we will investigate compilers.;In addition to traditional language issues and techniques, we will also;look into current issues such as visual programming systems and programming;facilities for the World-Wide Web.; January 2.; Facilities:;This quarter, CSE 413 students will have the use of both the MSCC Macintoshes;(running Macintosh Common Lisp 3.0) and the MSCC Unix systems.;MSCC is the;Mathematical Sciences Computing Center. The MSCC Macs are located in the;basement of Thompson Hall. Some of the Macs are in Room 3 and some in Room 9.;While the Macs offer MCL (and a variety of other languages such as Mathematica);the MSCC Unix hosts offer, C, Lex, Yacc, Allegro;Common Lisp, and other software facilities.;Macintosh Common Lisp provides a particularly powerful;environment including full implementation of the Common Lisp standard,;integrated editor (called FRED), and extensive facilities for graphics;and user interface construction. The Macintosh computers are networked,;and files can easily be transferred between them and the Unix host machines;of MSCC.; Students who have difficulty getting to the Macintoshes in;Thompson Hall can supplement their Macintosh work with work on their;own PCs, using such packages as XLISP-STAT for Windows and Micro-Emacs.;However, due to our limited ability to support alternative facilities,;students who wish to work on their own PCs will need to access these;resources themselves from archives on the Internet. Also, note that;XLISP-STAT is a bare-bones implementation of Common Lisp and does not;have the extensive program-development support that MCL has.;While we are fortunate to have the powerful MCL system for this course,;there is one disadvantage of using it---you must use it in the MSCC lab;unless you purchase your own copy of it from;Digitool, Inc..;(MCL normally costs about $500 a copy, but there is a special student deal;allowing students to purchase it for $135.);It has been pointed out that there is a free version of Allegro Common Lisp;for Windows which can be downloaded from franz.com on the Web.;This may be an attractive tool for some students.; Final examination:; The final exam for CSE 413 will be given on Monday, March 11,;in Sieg 325 from 10:30 to 12:20. It will be a closed-book test.; January 4.; NOTE THIS: On Thursday, January 4, we will meet in;Thompson Hall Room 3, so that we can get introduced to the;laboratory facilities for the course.

FOCS 1990, and; Buss et al. (Manuscript) .; Notes on memory models .; Real Description;As a special topics course, the content is up to the whim of the instructor.;A more descriptive title for this year's course would be: A theory of shared;memory parallel computing, or maybe, topics in the theory of SMPC.;The course will start with a collection of basic algorithms, and then we;will spend some time on models of computation. The;syllabus gives a list of topics which could be covered.;My use of the term ""shared memory"" is to indicate that we will not be looking;at topics which pertain to specific interconnection topologies. We;will consider some situations where the cost of memory access is;non-uniform.;The course will be a theory course in the sense that we will not;consider particular real machines, we will prove some theorems, and;you will not be expected to log on to a parallel machine. However,;topics may be motivated by practical considerations. Our goal in;developing parallel algorithms will be to come up with algorithms;which could conceivably be efficient on some parallel machines.;I am expecting that there will be three or four problem sets,;containing a mix of routine and challenging problems. I am not going;to require a project, (but I will be happy if students do outside;work on course related topics).;The text for the course will be ""An Introduction to Parallel;Algorithms"" by Ja Ja. This is a nice book, although I will not be;following it very closely. If you are feeling exceptionally cheap, you;could probably get by without purchasing a copy. My original plan,;when I volunteered to teach the course a year ago, was that the text;would be ""A Theory of Shared Memory Parallel Computing"" by Anderson.;However, this book is progressing about as fast as Volume 7 of the Art;of Computer Programming, so I chose the Ja Ja book instead.;I am going to be quite flexible on how this course is taught. My;choice of topics will be influenced by what is considered interesting;or uninteresting. There is also a choice as to teach this course as;either a traditional lecture course, or to work in some research;content. I have a number of open problems in mind which could turn;into very nice research results. I could present my half baked ideas;on some of these, provided that others have the interest and;energy to think about them.;anderson@cs.washington.edu;" +"CSE 531 Home Page; CSE 531: Automata, Computability, and Complexity;;The 531 web pages have moved:;Current Quarter;Autumn 1991;Autumn 1994;Portions of the CSE 531 Web may be reprinted or adapted for;academic nonprofit purposes, providing the source is accurately;quoted and duly credited.

Ahrens, Fast Data Parallel Polygon Rendering , Supercomputing, November 1993.;This paper describes a data parallel method for polygon rendering on a massively parallel machine. This method, based on a simple shading model, is targeted for applications which require very fast rendering for extremely large sets of polygons. Such sets are found in many scientific visualization applications. The renderer can handle arbitrarily complex polygons which need not be meshed. Issues involving load balancing are addressed and a data parallel load balancing algorithm is presented. This rendering toolkit enables a scientist to display 3D shaded polygons directly from a parallel machine avoiding the transmission of huge amounts of data to a post-processing rendering system.;James P.

I helped build a prototype 3-D display during the;summer of '91 at the NEC Research Center;in Princeton, New Jersey.;Most recently, during the summer of '96, I worked at;DEC SRC on the;Vesta 2 project.;Projects;My goal is to develop safe, adaptable and extensible operating systems.;I developed the threads, scheduling, synchronization, IPC, dynamic linking and;protection domain subsystems in SPIN. I also wrote the machine specific;aspects of the SPIN kernel, such as the system call and interrupt paths, and;some miscellaneous interfaces, such as alarms and mach compatibility support.;The novel;aspects of SPIN threads and scheduling are that they provide the means of;extending a kernel with arbitrary thread implementations and scheduling;policies. Dynamically linking the extensions into the kernel allows;us to achieve high-performance. The interface, called strands, is;designed to be safe and provide fault-isolation.;The novel aspect of the;SPIN protection domain interface is that it allows;isolation and safe fine-grain sharing at the same time. Extensions with;conflicting symbols can be simultaneously active in our system. Further,;extensions can hide some of their code and data such that they can be;assured that no one can possibly access them. The clincher is that extensions;that want to share code and data can do so with no dynamic protection;enforcement overhead.;I also implemented a high-performance;web server on top of the SPIN networking;stack. The main objectives in its design are reduced http latency and;minimal load.;I wrote a MIPS instruction set simulator a couple of years ago, called;MIPSI,;that was robust enough to simulate all the SPEC benchmarks and Standard ML of;New Jersey.

Network nodes with memory-intensive applications can use the primary memory of lightly-loaded nodes as temporary backing store. This introduce a new level of the memory hierarchy: namely, a global memory cache that lies (logically) between local memory and disk.;Because pages are the fundamental transfer and access units in remote memory systems, page size is a key performance factor. Recently, page sizes of modern processors have been increasing in order to provide more TLB coverage and amortize disk access costs. Unfortunately, for high-speed networks, small transfers are needed to provide low latency. This trend in page size is thus at odds with the use of network memory on high-speed networks. We studied the use of subpages as a means of reducing transfer size and latency in a remote-memory environment.;Reducing Network Latency Using Subpages in a Global Memory Environment.;H.A.

We've just bought a house in nearby Menlo Park.; Here is my curriculum vita (postscript). I also have a summary (postscript) of my research and teaching experience.;Projects;I work primarily on the;Cecil project.;Cecil is a new pure object-oriented langauge that we are using as a;vehicle for integrated research in the areas of language design,;programming environments, and optimizing compiler techniques. We;intend for our techniques to scale to large, real-world programs, and;to keep ourselves true to this goal, we're implementing the Vortex;compiler in Cecil. We currently have about 70,000 lines of Cecil code;in the compiler.;;Much of our work in this group involves tracking down compiler bugs.; I also hang out in the SPIN;project meetings. SPIN is an extensible operating system;microkernel which supports the dynamic adaptation of system interfaces;and implementations through direct application control, while still;maintaining system integrity and inter-application isolation.;During Spring quarter, I was one of the organizers for CSE 590K, the department's compiler seminar.;Research Interests;My research concerns the efficient implementation of;object-oriented languages through compiler optimization techniques.;In particular, I am exploring how whole-program analysis can be used;to improve performance, how it affects incremental compilation, and;how it interacts with other optimization techniques, especially;profile-guided optimization techniques. I am also interested in how;whole-program optimization affects language design: if it is assumed;that the compiler will have access to the entire program, then many;compromises made in existing language designs become unnecessary. I;am interested in applying the lessons learned in exploring whole;program optimization towards designing a new systems programming;language that is both flexible and efficient, based on an underlying;implementation that does whole program analysis.;To validate my research, I have been one of the three principal;designers and developers of Vortex, an optimizing compiler for;object-oriented languages. Vortex defines a language-independent;intermediate language for object-oriented languages that is;high-enough level to permit optimization of features such as message;sends, closures, and object creations. It also contains a unique way;of composing optimization passes so that they run in parallel,;obtaining better results than repeatedly running the passes;separately. For example, the compiler applies intraprocedural class;analysis, profile-guided receiver class prediction, inlining, alias;analysis, splitting, and CSE all at once, in a single combined pass.;Part of the work on Vortex has been to develop ways of structuring;optimization passes to permit this kind of composition while still;allowing the passes to be developed largely independently of each;other. We have a nice framework for specifying iterative data flow;analyses that permits clients to develop new optimization passes with;relatively little effort (for example, the Vortex dead assignment;elimination pass is approximately 50 lines of code).;Publications;Some recent papers I've authored or co-authored.;Personal;I love very spicy food (as they say, ""mild is a four letter word"") and Coke. I should probably kick my caffeine habit. Most of my enjoyable moments are spent with my wife Heidi and my daughter Victoria. I would really like to go here someday. My wife and I spent our honeymoon on Kauai during Hurricane Iniki.; I recently won a biplane ride from Galvin Flying here in Seattle (I guess I can't say ""I never win anything!"" anymore). My wife and I took the flight, which consisted of a 20 minute flight around and over downtown Seattle and Puget Sound in a Travel Air 1927 model biplane. I was feeling daring, but, sadly, their insurance coverage doesn't permit passengers to walk on the wing, so we just sat back and enjoyed the ride and the view. It would have been fantastic even if we'd had to pay for it. Highly recommended!

We are all aware of devices, systems, and; structures that can cause catastrophes when they fail. As; computer hardware becomes less expensive and as more expectations; are placed on software, computers are being placed in control of a; wider range of these applications. Software has advantages over; conventional technologies, e.g., flexibility.; But these advantages come at a price. Software behavior can be; very complex and unpredictable. Perhaps the best publicized example is; the Three Mile Island incident, in which operators had great; difficulty in diagnosing the state of the system during an emergency.; The requirements stage of software development is key to a project's; success, especially with respect to safety. For that reason,; my colleagues and I have concentrated on requirements, especially; the communication of requirements via a requirements specification.; To that end we have developed a state-based language called;;Requirements State Machine Language, or RSML.; We have validated the usefulness of this language by; specifying TCAS II,; an avionics system.; For my doctoral thesis I invented a hazard analysis procedure; based on the Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) study.; The most significant concept that this new procedure borrows from; HAZOP is that of a deviation, hence the name deviation; analysis.

In Opal, all code and data exists with in a single, huge,;shared address space. The single address space enhances sharing and;cooperation, because addresses have a unique (for all time);interpretation. Thus, pointer-based data structures can be directly;communicated and shared between programs at any time, and can be;stored directly on secondary storage without the need for translation.;This structure is simplified by the availability of a large address;space, such as those provided by the DEC Alpha, MIPS R4000,;HP/PA-RISC, and IBM RS6000.;Protection in Opal is independent of the single address space;;each Opal thread executes within a protection domain;that defines which virtual pages it has the right to access.;The rights to access a page can be easily transmitted from one;process to another. The result is a much more flexible protection;structure, permitting different (and dynamically changing);protection options depending on the trust relationship;between cooperating parties.

All of our work shares;the following features:; We rely a combination of simple hardware support and operating; system modifications to monitor the dynamic behavior of applications.; These monitoring mechanisms incur a small overhead at runtime, but the; information they collect can be used to identify sources of memory; system delays such as cache misses and TLB misses.; By identifying and resolving these bottlenecks, we not only pay for; the overhead of the monitoring mechanisms, but also significantly; improve overall system performance.;In our most recent project, we explored policies that monitor;application memory reference patterns in order to identify and resolve;TLB performance problems. Poor TLB performance results when the TLB;is too small to cover the current application's working set. Several;modern architectures support superpages: pages whose size is a;multiple of the system's base page size. On such systems TLB;performance can be improved by using larger pages, but at the cost of;wasted memory due to internal fragmentation.;We simulated several policies that adapt the page size dynamically to;different regions of an application's address space, constructing;superpages by copying the component pages to a contiguous region of;memory. We developed a policy that monitors TLB misses, and balances;the potential benefit of having a superpage (a reduction in future TLB;misses) against the cost of constructing the superpage (an in-memory;copy). By constructing superpages only when and where TLB miss;patterns warrant, this policy attains the TLB performance of large;pages without their internal fragmentation.;For more details on this project, see our paper; Reducing TLB and Memory Overhead Using Online Superpage Promotion; (ISCA '95, to appear).;We're looking for someone to implement these algorithms -- this would make;a good quals or masters project.;Project Description.;People;Faculty:; Brian Bershad (bershad@cs.washington.edu); Anna Karlin (karlin@cs.washington.edu);Current Students:; Dennis Lee (dlee@cs.washington.edu); Wayne Ohlrich (ohlrich@cs.washington.edu); Ted Romer (romer@cs.washington.edu); Wayne Wong (waynew@cs.washington.edu);Papers; Reducing TLB and Memory Overhead Using Online Superpage Promotion .; Romer, Ohlrich, Karlin, and Bershad.

Because it runs in the kernel, this extension code can access;hardware and other operating systems services with with almost no;overhead (basically a procedure call), and data can be passed by;reference, rather than copied. The SPIN kernel itself provides;a core set of interfaces and capabilities to basic resources. These;are used by collections of extensions to implement general system;services such as address spaces, IPC, threads, and networking. All;extension code (and most of the kernel) is written in the typesafe language Modula-3. The property of;typesafety prevents extensions from crashing the system by attempting;to manipulate arbitrary pieces of code or data.;SPIN runs on DEC Alpha workstations. We're using it to write;both specialized applications such as network video systems, as well;as for supporting general purpose UNIX programs.;You can connect to a machine;running SPIN with the in-kernel SPIN web server; here.; Quick Results;This structure allows programs to extend operating system services with;low overhead. For example, with SPIN running on a 133 MHz Alpha,;an application can handle and recover from a page fault in 29 microseconds.;It takes 22 microseconds to create a new thread of control, execute;it, terminate, and synchronize with its termination (fork/join). A protected;procedure call to another extension or to a kernel function takes .13;microseconds. A cross-machine RPC (application to application) over;ethernet takes under 600 microseconds; over ATM (on really old;adapters) it takes less than 450 microseconds. The same operations;under Mach or DEC UNIX take up to 30 times longer on the same;hardware.

To;alleviate this problem, modern processors issue multiple instructions per;cycle (i.e., superscalars), or interleave the execution of different;threads in different cycles (multithreaded processors). Ultimately, though,;both techniques are limited by the amount of parallelism available within a;single thread in a single cycle.; Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) is a technique that permits multiple;independent threads to issue instructions to a superscalar's functional;units in a single cycle. SMT combines the multiple-instruction-issue;features of wide superscalar processors with the latency-hiding ability;of multithreaded architectures. On an SMT processor, all hardware contexts;are active simultaneously, competing each cycle for all available resources.;This dynamic sharing of processor resources enables SMT to exploit;thread-level and instruction-level parallelism interchangeably; both forms;of parallelism can be effectively used to increase processor utilization.;Our studies have;demonstrated that simultaneous multithreading significantly improves;processor throughput and performance on both multiprogrammed and parallel;workloads. We have shown that these performance gains can be achieved;in an architecture with only minimal extensions to modern out-of-order;superscalar processors.;Our current and future work includes investigations of fast synchronization;techniques enabled by SMT.

In the area of fully;automatic systems, our focus is on development of means for;geometric reasoning and control necessary for automatic planning of;motion in a complex environment. A machine equipped with such means;is able to purposely move in a complex scene with multiple, perhaps;moving, obstacles of arbitrary shapes. We are especially interested;in a paradigm which assumes incomplete information and continuous;real-time computation based on sensory feedback (e.g., from vision;or range sensors). This model suggests economic active sensing; guided by the motion planning needs. A strong factor in such;systems is the effect of system dynamics and nonholonomic;contstraints on real-time control.;; As part of our work on human-centered systems, we study (jointly;with cognitive scientists) human skills in motion planning and space;orientation. These results are then used for comparison with the;performance of automatic systems and for developong hybrid physical;(teleoperated) and computer graphics interaction systems. The major;property of such a hybrid system is that it blends together, in a;synergistic manner, human and machine intelligences.

Several of the algorithms underlying the Coral;system have been developed by members of the group during the duration;of the project (since 1988).;Overview:;Coral is a deductive system which supports a rich declarative language,;and an interface to C++ which allows for a combination of declaritive;and imperative programming. The declarative query language supports;general Horn clauses augmented with complex terms, set-grouping,;aggregation, negation, and relations with tuples that contain;(universally quantified) variables. A CORAL declarative program can;be organized as a collection of interacting modules. The CORAL;implementation supports a wide range of evaluation strategies, and;automatically chooses an efficient evaluation strategy for each module;in the program. In addition, users are permitted to guide query optimization,;if desired, by selecting from among a wide range of control choices at;the level of each module.;The CORAL system provides imperative constructs such as update, insert;and delete rules. CORAL also has an interface with C++, and users can;program in a combination of declarative CORAL and C++ extended with;CORAL primitives. A high degree of extensibility is provided by allowing;C++ programmers to use the class structure of C++ to enhance the CORAL;implemenation. CORAL provides support for both main-memory and;disk-resident data. Disk-resident data is supported using the;EXODUS;storage mananger, which also provides transaction management in a;client-server environment.;Release Information:;The current release of Coral is Version 1.5, released October 10, 1996.;To install Coral on your system, then grab the tar file you want.;The nobin version contains only the source code, requiring;you to compile Coral.

This;interface is intended to ease the transition of applications from the;Unix file system environment to Shore as existing Unix tools such as vi;and cc will be able to store their data in Shore objects without;modification (basically a Unix file becomes either a single Shore;object or the text field of a more complex object).;Overview:;SHORE is something of a hybrid system by nature, inheriting;characteristics both from object-oriented database systems and from;file systems. This section briefly describe the basic features of;SHORE. The paper,;Shoring Up Persistent Applications,;describes SHORE in much greater detail.;SHORE has three major goals:;Scalability;Support for hardware and language heterogeneity;Support for existing, file-based applications;When the SHORE project began 3 years ago, these goals were unique;among the research and commercial OODBMS community. While the; ODMG effort;has also concentrated on providing some degree of support for language;heterogeneity (which, in turn, facilitates hardware heterogeneity),;SHORE remains distinguished by its focus on scalability and support;for applications that depend on the Unix file system for persistent;storage. Furthermore, since the SHORE data model (SDL) is basically;compatible with the ODMG data model (ODL),;we expect that much of the technology that we develop can eventually be;transferred to the commercial sector.;Scalable Architecture;SHORE's software architecture is unique is several ways.;First, SHORE uses a symmetric, peer-to-peer distributed;architecture. In SHORE, every participating processor runs a;SHORE server process whether or not the processor has SHORE data disks;attached. The software has been designed to be scalable;;it can run on a single processor, a network of workstations, or;a large parallel processor such as the Intel Paragon or IBM SP1/2.;This design is in contrast to the client-server architecture;used by EXODUS and all the OODBMS vendors. While a client-server;architecture is fine for a design environment such as is typically;used in software and hardware CAD efforts, it is not scalable.;The second unique feature of the SHORE architecture is its notion;of a ``value-added'' server. By structuring the software that runs;in the server with extensibility in mind, it is relatively simple for;users to build application-specific servers. For example, the;Paradise project;is already using the SHORE server to build a geographic information system for; NASA's;EOSDIS project.;We feel that these two unique pieces of technology will play a;important role in a variety of future research and commercial endeavors.;For example, the digital libraries of the future will almost certainly;depend on the availability of scalable, persistent object technology.;Such systems are going to store, retrieve, manipulate, and transmit;objects containing video and pictures as well as text. While;current OODBMS products could be used, these systems are oriented;toward dealing with gigabytes, and not terabytes, of data.;Customizability is equally important. The indexing, retrieval,;and query processing mechanisms needed for a digital library;are very different from those required for a geographic information;system.;Language and Hardware Heterogeneity;Objects in SHORE are typed. SHORE provides a single, language-neutral;type system that is used to define the types of all SHORE objects.;This type system is embodied in the SHORE Data Language (SDL),;which is the language in which SHORE object types are defined.;SDL enhances the OMG data model IDL with support for database;features such as bulk types (e.g., sets and lists) and persistence.;The provision of typed persistent objects simplifies the task of;supporting heterogeneous hardware environments and makes it feasible;to support access to persistent objects from multiple programming;languages, which is a key objective of the SHORE project.;As mentioned earlier, SDL is quite closely related to ODL,;the language-neutral object type definition language that was;recently proposed as a standard by the OODB vendor consortium ODMG.;In terms of its emphasis, however, ODMG has largely concentrated on;providing a standardized interface to existing C++ oriented OODBs.;Our focus is on support for inter-language object sharing within;a large name-space of objects.;Support for Existing, File-based Applications;A major goal of SHORE is to enable applications that currently;use untyped, byte-oriented files for their persistent data,;flattening and un-flattening their data each time it is accessed,;to stop doing so.;Such applications should be able to store their data as typed, structured;objects for more convenient, type-safe, intra- and inter-program data sharing.;Our ultimate hope is that SHORE will displace byte-oriented;file systems such as the Unix file system.;SHORE provides two major services from a file system standpoint. First,;to support object naming and space management in a world with many;persistent objects, SHORE provides a flexible, tree-structured,;Unix-like name-space in which all persistent objects are reachable,;either directly or indirectly. Doing so gives SHORE users;a familiar framework in which to register individual;persistent objects (termed ""registered"" objects), the roots of;large persistent data structures, or bulk sets of unnamed objects (termed;""anonymous"" objects). The realization of this framework involves;several different kinds of SHORE file system objects, including;directories, pools (which are files containing anonymous objects),;symbolic links, and cross references.;SHORE provides two mechanisms to ease the transition of legacy Unix;applications such as compilers, editors, and CAD systems from;traditional byte-stream files to SHORE.;First, for applications that can be re-linked, SHORE provides a standard;Unix-compatible file system interface (e.g. open, close, read,;write, mkdir, chdir,.).;In order to make access to SHORE objects via Unix file system calls;possible, the definer of a SHORE object type can optionally designate one;variable-length byte string or character string attribute of the object as;being the object's ""Unix data"". Programs that attempt to read an object;through SHORE counterparts of the Unix file system calls;will only see this portion of the object. For legacy programs that;wish to do so without being re-linked, it is possible to NFS-mount a;SHORE file system and access the Unix data;contained in its objects directly. This makes it feasible for both;new and old applications to access the same set of objects.;While old applications can only access the ""Unix data"" component;of the object, new applications can define and access other, more;structured, attributes of the object.;Release Information:;Below is the latest time table for the release of SHORE.;These dates are approximate and subject to change.;If you have any questions, contact;shore_support@cs.wisc.edu.; Beta Release (0.9);On May 3, 1995 we had our first beta release.; Beta Release (0.9.3);The second Beta-rlease of Shore (version 0.9.3); is now available (Sept 18, 1995).;It includes improved documentation, more complete;implementations of many SDL features, many bug fixes, and ports to;Solaris, HP-UX, Linux.; Version 1.0;On August 6, 1995 we released Shore, version 1.0.;Gzip'd tar files of the source, documentation and a binary release (sparc and;pentium solaris 2.5), can be found at;;.;Mailing Lists;There are two Shore-related mailing lists:;shore_support@cs.wisc.edu;and;shore_all@cs.wisc.edu;.;shore_support@cs.wisc.edu;This mailing list reaches the Shore development team.;It is for use;by Shore users to submit questions, comments, and bug reports to us.;You cannot subscribe to this mailing list.; shore_all@cs.wisc.edu;This is a mailing list for users of (and those interested in) SHORE.;This list is managed by the listproc software at the UW-Madison;CS department.

This is essentially the inverse projection problem. Existing Structure-From-Motion (SFM) techniques solve this problem by examining multiple images projected from a rigid scene. However SFM has not been used extensively in practice because these techniques are very sensitive to noise, do not accurately model optical projection, or restrict the position of the observer and/or the structure of the scene. My research uses a new technique for solving the inverse projection problem called the Concurrent Projector Model which makes no assumptions about the scene other than it is rigid and no assumptions about the position of the observer. This technique uses a projector based model of projection instead of the camera based model traditionally used in SFM. As a result, the algorithm is defined for any geometric transformation in any dimension, not just 3-D perspective projection. For a given transformation and dimension the algorithm identifies when the inverse projection problem is under-constrained and specifies the minimum number of points and images required to solve it. The Concurrent Projector Model can also examine additional points and images to minimize the types of projection errors that occur in real-world applications by allowing the projectors to approximately intersect.;This technique is currently being applied to the problem of robot navigation and exploration to both determine the position of a robot in an unknown environment and at the same time to map this environment.;Advisor:; Prof. Charles R.

Good problem solving skills distinguish a ""good"" computer programmer from a ""bad"" one - it doesn't matter how familiar or skilled you are in a particular programming language, if you do not understand how to solve the problem then you will not be able to write a computer program for it in any language.;To help you learn problem solving skills and techniques I will assign weekly problem solving exercises. These will be small but non-trivial problems which I will give out each Monday. You should look at the problem and think about it during the week and right down the steps you would go through to solve the problem; i.e. the overall structure of your program. This is primarily an exercise in general problem solving so you do not have to write any FORTRAN code (though you may if you want to and have time) and your solution/algorithm should not even be dependent on a particular programming language such as FORTRAN. We will go over the solution in class the following Monday.;Exercises:;Week 2: Question 16, Pg. 89. Click here for the solution.; Week 3: Question 4, Pg. 147.

Consultants can answer short questions about compiler error messages and program syntax, as well as how to login, use the printers, send E-mail, run Netscape, etc.;Click here for more information about the consultants.;;Instructor:; General questions about an assignment or questions that may require a long explanation are best answered by myself. Please see me during office hours or send me E-mail. I am not normally in my office except during office hours because I do my dissertation research from home via a modem. Therefore, if you want to see me outside of office hours please make an appointment first. You can most easily contact me by E-mail because I regularly login and read my E-mail from home.;Click here to send me E-mail.;; Problem Solving Exercises;One of the most important skills you will learn in this class is problem solving. Good problem solving skills distinguish a ""good"" computer programmer from a ""bad"" one - it doesn't matter how familiar or skilled you are in a particular programming language, if you do not understand how to solve the problem then you will not be able to write a computer program for it in any language.;To help you learn problem solving skills and techniques I will assign weekly problem solving exercises. These will be small but non-trivial problems which I will give out each Monday. You should look at the problem and think about it during the week and right down the steps you would go through to solve the problem; i.e. the overall structure of your program. This is primarily an exercise in general problem solving so you do not have to write any FORTRAN code (though you may if you want to and have time) and your solution/algorithm should not even be dependent on a particular programming language such as FORTRAN. Each Friday we will go over the solution in class.;Exercises:;Week 3: Question 16, Pg. 89. Click here for the solution.; Week 4: Question 4, Pg. 147.

This lab is open from 7:00 am to 1:00 am seven days a week except certain holidays. The printer room is located across the hall in Rm. 1359.;You may also use your home or dorm computers to write your programs, however you will probably have to purchase your own copy of Microsoft FORTRAN or Lahey Personal FORTRAN (see the inside cover of the textbook). You may also work in any of the other computer labs on campus, however most do not have FORTRAN compilers (please see me first before using the CAE lab).;The software you will be using in the lab includes:;Microsoft Windows and MS-DOS;E-mail;Netscape; Other Pointers of Interest; CS 302 Home Page; Gareth Bestor's Home Page; Computer Sciences Department Home Page; Starting Points for Internet Exploration; Lycos (search the World-Wide-Web by keyword);; Dilbert (comic relief for those long nights before an assignment is due);Copyright © 1996 Gareth S.

In particular, I am investigating two techniques to improve;file system performance: application-specific replacement policies for the file;cache, and aggressive prefetching of file data from the disk. I have;developed a system in which the kernel allocates physical pages to individual;applications, and each application is responsible for deciding how to use;its physical pages for caching and prefetching. The system uses a fair;global allocation policy in the kernel, and carefully integrates cache;replacement, prefetching and disk scheduling. A prototype implementation;on uniprocessor systems has demonstrated;that good application-chosen replacement strategies and prefetching information;can significantly improve the I/O performance of many applications.;Currently, I am extending these techniques to parallel systems. I am;developing integrated caching and prefetching algorithms for parallel disk;arrays. In addition, I am investigating the global resource management;problems in operating systems.;Last modified: Wed Apr 24 21:38:49 1996 by Pei Cao;cao@cs.wisc.edu;",faculty,40,1,3580,"[40, 193]" +http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~cao/cs736/cs736.html,"CS736 Spring 1996; CS 736: Advanced Operating Systems (Spring 1996); Summary;This course is intended to give you a broad exposure to advanced;operating systems topics.;There are two important components of this course: reading and discussion of;various research papers, and a project involving implementation of an;experimental system.

(The same statement;is not true about Pascal. C is also widely available, but after an;initial startup period you will be more productive in C++ than in C.);If you go on to take more computer science courses, with few exceptions;you will be required to use C++ in those courses.;Text;The text book for this course is;Data Abstraction and Problem Solving with C++: Walls and Mirrors;by Frank M. Carrano (ISBN # 0-8053-1226-9).;This is a well-written text that covers most;(but not all) of the material in this course.;It also includes a lot about C++, so a separate text for the language is not;necessary.;For my lectures I will often (but not always) be following;;CS 367 Lecture Notes - Fall 1993;by David J.

These;are in the machine rooms on the first floor of the;CS building. I encourage you to use these machines.;If you prefer to use a home computer, you may do so, with certain;restrictions: You must have a C++ compiler on your home machine;;you must log on to your university account often to read email;and get copies of data files; finally, we will require that;you turn in your C++ program electronically (via email) so if you;work at home you must make provisions to download your programs to;your university account and to make sure that they compile and run;with the g++ compiler on the SPARCstations.;I often use electronic mail to notify students of changes in;assignments, hints for programs, etc.;I assume that you will read all;electronic mail that I send.;Late Policy;No late assignment will be accepted.;Assignments must be turned in exactly when they are due.;In order to avoid lateness caused by machine loads, coincident due;dates for several classes, etc., simply be sure to get started right away on;each assignment.;Things are certain to go wrong now and then, so don't wait until the;last minute to start.;Any exceptions must be approved by me, and you will need a very good excuse.;If you get into trouble, see me as soon as possible.;Cheating;The Computer Science department takes a very hard line;stance on cheating.;You are welcome to;communicate with each other on design of algorithms and data;structures, but;there is to be no sharing of code.;You are also expected to learn, understand, and obey the;Computer Systems Lab Policies;governing your computer accounts.;Help;If you are having problems with the course work or programs,;please let me know as early in the semester as possible.;Office Hours Policies;If you need help debugging a program, the best way to get help is to;visit any one of the;CS 367 TA's;during his office hours, taking along a current;hard copy of your program.;My office hours are intended as a time for me to re-explain concepts;that I have presented in class but about which you are still confused,;or to answer your specific questions about course material.;I encourage you to use email as;a reliable way to contact me about any problems; I read and respond to email;several times daily, almost every day of the week.;Program Grading;Programs are graded on all of the following criteria.;Correctness: The program should behave correctly/normally on typical;input. The program should behave as stated in the project;specifications.;Clarity: The program should be easy to read and understand.;(See the notes on style below for more information;about clarity).;Robustness: Correct behavior in extreme or unusual situations.;The program should handle such situations in a reasonable and;logical manner (that is, it should not simply blow up).;Quality of test data: The test data for the program should;demonstrate all facets of the program's capabilities, including;unusual cases.;Efficiency: Avoid unnecessarily inefficient algorithms or constructs.;However, efficiency should never be pursued at the expense of clarity.;Modularity: The program should be modular and should make effective use;of parameters.;Completeness: You should incorporate all information into your;program; there should be no need for any sort of extra (paper);documentation.;Generality:;The program should be as general as possible, subject to consideration;of efficiency and clarity.;You should avoid arbitrary limitations (such as a bound on the size or;complexity of the input) whenever possible.;When limitations are necessary, they should be expressed as defined;constants near the top of the program so that they can be easily changed.;The only numeric literals that should appear in your program are those;values not very likely to change (such as 0, 1, or 3.1415926535).;Style;Use meaningful identifier names.;Use a consistent naming scheme for identifier names.;A suggested convention is as follows; int variable_name;; int function_name(int argument);; const int DEFINED_CONSTANT = 1234;; enum EnumType { VALUE1, VALUE2 };; class ClassName ...;Do not put multiple statements on a single line.;Skip lines between functional groups of code.;Use a clear and consistent indentation style (see the DeWitt notes;for a suggested style).;Indent continued statements (if, loops, ... etc).;Line up {'s and }'s.;Label }'s meaningfully (e.g. ``} // while (!done)'').;External Documentation;This should be included as a long comment at the beginning of your;program. It is addressed to both the typical user and to someone;who wants to know superficially how the program works:;Include your full name and student ID at the beginning of the comment.;Give a general description of what the program does.;Tell how to use the program: how to call it, format of data.;Give limitations, bugs, special features, and assumptions made.;Describe negative as well as positive aspects of the program.;If you don't include negatives we will assume you were unaware of them.;Information included in the assignment about the problem description;need not be repeated, but may be briefly summarized for the first point above.;A statement referring the user to the assignment document is then;sufficient. Note that this only applies to the problem description!;Internal Documentation;There are four main types of internal documentation:;Headers:;Comments at the headers of functions, classes, and major data structures;should describe their purpose, assumptions about their parameters,;and the main outline of any algorithms they use.;Declarations: Comments next to a declaration of a variable or data member;should provide extra information not conveyed by the identifier's;name.;The name of a variable should tell as much about it as is possible without;making it too long;;additional information can be supplied by a comment. For example; int top; // index of last element added to stack;You should use comments to explain parameters as well as local variables.;Within segments of code: Tricky or opaque sections of code should be;avoided, but sometimes they are necessary. In such cases, a comment;can help the reader understand what's going on.;Between segments of code: These comments clarify the top-level outline;of your algorithm.; Using Unix and Vi;Many people working with UNIX for the;first time will find that it takes some time to become;comfortable with it (this is particularly true if your;only previous programming experience is with Pascal using;MacPascal on a MacIntosh.) I strongly urge you to put in;the time early in the semester to become comfortable with;Unix. While this time may be painful, it is time well;spent.;Also, you may wish to attend a UNIX tutorial.;They will be held in rooms 1240 Comp Sci in two sessions on each of the;following days: TBA;You will want to pick up a copy of; CS 1000 before you go.; The Program Development Cycle;The program development cycle in a UNIX environment is:;for (;;) {; edit your program // %vi program.c; compile your program // %g++ -Wall -g program.c; if (there are compilation errors); continue;; run your program // %a.out < inputfile > outputfile; look at your output // %vi outputfile; // or %more outputfile; if (there are no errors); break;; if (you are too tired to continue) {; print a listing to take home; // pr program.c inputfile outputfile | lpr; goto home; }; debug the program; // gdb a.out; // run; // ...; // quit;};you're done! turn in the result; // submission instruction to be given out later; yannis@cs.wisc.edu;Mon Aug 19 17:28:14 CDT 1996;",course,56,2,16175,"[44, 56]" +http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~cs367-3/cs367.html,"CS 367; ;CS 367-3: Introduction to Data Structures;(http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~cs367-3/cs367.html, Revised 9/4/96);Fall 1996;James R.

Data structures are the fundamental building;blocks of computer programs. By the end of the course, you should be able to identify situations in which a data structure is necessary, determine the;requirements for the data structure, and select the appropriate data structure from those covered in this course.;Reiterate the concepts of structure programming, abstract data types, and modularity. These principles, which were introduced in CS302, are essential;to writing clear, correct, and maintainable software. As there is a close connection between abstract data types and data structures, this course places;a strong emphasis on applying these principles in all programming exercises.;Teaching Assistants;Wei Zhang and Chin Tang Chin are the teaching assistants (TAs) for;this course (sections 2 and 3).

These notes are far more complete that simple lecture;notes, but they fall short of a true text book (they contain very little narrative text, no exercises, etc.). I am using these notes as a basis for my lectures; as;such, I feel free to skip portions and cover additional material. You may want to purchase these notes, which are available from the DoIT documentation;desk at the Dayton Street entrance of the Computer Sciences building (1210 W. Dayton St).;If this course is your first experience with Unix, you will need information about activating your account, logging in, creating, editing, and manipulating files,;and compiling, running, and debugging programs.

Lecture attendence is strongly recommended as I will regularly present material that does not;appear in the textbook or lecture notes, but will be useful for the programming assignments and exams. Needless to say, You are responsible for all;material covered in lecture!

If you do not know C++, you should;not be in this section of CS367. Jim Skrentny is teaching two sections of CS367 that cover C++ in addition to data structures.

Other Java-related topics are both welcome and encouraged.;This course will be taugh as a research seminar. First, the professors are not Java experts, but expect to learning along with the students. What you get out of;this course will be experience in studying and developing new ideas, interactioning with colleagues, and new insight into Java. We only plan to lecture for a;few weeks to present an overview of Java. Then students will work on two-month-long group projects. Students will be evaluated on the oral and written;presentation of their project. This offering of CS 838 is NOT a core CS course.;Background Material;There is no text for this course, although there are countless Java books in bookstores. Most of these books were written very quickly and are very;superficial.

Wood,;Computer Architecture News (CAN), August 1993.; Research Summary;My main research goals lie in developing cost-effective computer;architectures that take advantage of rapidly changing technologies. My;research program has two major thrusts:; evaluating the performance,;feasibility, and correctness of new architectures, and; developing new tools and techniques to facilitate this evaluation.;Currently, this research focusses on the following three areas:; multi-paradigm multiprocessors,;which efficiently integrate shared-memory, message-passing, and hybrid;programming paradigms,; a virtual prototyping system, which exploits the similarites;of an existing parallel machine to simulate a hypothetical parallel machine,; and, techniques for understanding and tuning program performance.;Recent results include developing a new interface---called;Tempest---between user-level protocol handlers and system-supplied;mechanisms. Tempest provides the mechanisms that allow programmers,;compilers, and program libraries to implement and use message passing,;transparent shared memory, and hybrid combinations of the two. Tempest;mechanisms are low-overhead messages, bulk data transfer, virtual;memory management, and fine-grain access control. The most novel;mechanism---fine-grain access control---allows user software to tag;blocks (e.g., 32 bytes) as read-write, read-only, or invalid, so the;local memory can be used to transparently cache remote data.;We are exploring alternative ways to support this interface.;The first---called Typhoon---is;a proposed hardware;platform that implements the Tempest mechanisms with a fully-programmable,;user-level processor in the network interface. A reverse-translation;table (RTLB) invokes the network processor when it detects a fine-grain;access fault.;We have simulated Typhoon on the Wisconsin Wind Tunnel and found that;a transparent shared-memory protocol running on Typhoon performs;comparably +/- 30% to an;all-hardware Dir{N}NB cache-coherence protocol for five shared-memory;programs.;We have also developed a new memory system simulation method that;optimizes the common case---cache hits---significantly reducing;simulation time.;Fast-Cache tightly integrates reference generation and simulation by;providing the abstraction of tagged memory blocks: each reference;invokes a user-specified function depending upon the reference type and;memory block state. The simulator controls how references are processed;by manipulating memory block states, specifying a special NULL function;for no action cases. Fast-Cache implements this abstraction by using;binary-rewriting to perform a table lookup before each memory;reference. On a SPARCStation 10, Fast-Cache simulation times are two to;three times faster than a conventional trace-driven simulator that;calls a procedure on each memory reference; simulation times are only;three to six times slower than the original, un-instrumented program.;We are also investigating using Fast-Cache's binary rewriting techniques;to support the Tempest interface on existing hardware platforms.; Last Updated: July 11, 1996;",faculty,75,1,6895,"[92, 147, 229, 242]" +http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~dburger/dburger.html,Doug Burger's Home Page;Doug Burger's Home Page;Professional information:;Research summary;Resume/CV;Transcript;Course projects;Advisor;Affiliated projects:;Galileo/SCI;Wisconsin Wind Tunnel;Pages I maintain:;WWW computer architecture;UW computer architecture;SimpleScalar tool set;Generica;SACM;Personal stuff:;About me;Useful links;Photo gallery;Riding the DEMON;Hunting those damn cats;Beware of grad school;,student,76,3,411,"[36, 92, 101]" +http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~deboor/cs412.html,"CS412 - Introduction to Numerical Methods;-------------------------------------> last change: 06nov96;;CS412 - Introduction to Numerical Methods;This page contains information for the Fall 1996 CS412 course.; smile; changes on 29oct:;assignment 5 , due 12nov96.;NOTE the CHANGED DUE DATE as well as the slightly changed points for problems;1 and 4.; diary of 29 oct class;;additional material on; residual and error, condition # (29oct); changes on 04nov: Rick Carl's office hour this R is 11-12.; list of errata for the text.; changes on 05nov:; diary of 31 oct class;; diary of 05 nov class;; changes on 06nov: useful email concerning; problem 3 (05nov) UPDATED 06nov.;Since there was a question about the computational complexity of numerical;analysis algorithms, I have posted a; preprint, by one of the foremost;mathematicians of today, on that subject, for those interested in this tricky;topic.;least-squares solution and approximation (05nov); Time and Place: TR 12:55 - 2:15, CS&STAT 1221; Lecturer: Carl de Boor.; email: deboor@cs.wisc.edu; Office hours: WF11-12, R14:30-15:30, 7379 CS&Stat; FINAL EXAM: Thursday 19dec, 2:45p.

The objective;of SHORE is to design, implement, and evaluate a persistent object;system that will serve the needs of a wide variety of target applications;including hardware and software CAD systems, persistent programming;languages, geographic information systems, satellite data repositories,;and multimedia applications. SHORE expands on the basic capabilities;of the widely-used Exodus Storage Manager (developed at Wisconsin,;funded by ARPA) in a number of ways including support for typed;objects, multiple programming languages, a `Unix-like' hierarchical;name space for named objects, and a Unix-compatible interface;to objects with a `text' field. This interface is intended to;ease the transition of applications from the Unix file system;environment to SHORE as existing Unix tools such as vi and cc;will be able to store their data in SHORE objects without modification;(basically a Unix file becomes either a single SHORE object or;the text field of a complex object). SHORE is being targeted at;a wide range of hardware environments, scaling all the way from;individual workstations to heterogeneous client/server networks;to large multiprocessors such as the Intel Paragon. SHORE is a;joint project with Profs. Carey, Naughton, and Solomon.;The Paradise project is attempting to apply the technology developed;as part of the SHORE and Gamma projects (Gamma is a parallel relational;database system developed at the University of Wisconsin) to the;task of storing and manipulating geographic data sets. Currently,;many geographic information systems (GIS) use relational database;systems to hold their data. While such systems are excellent for;managing business data they are a poor match for the modeling;needs of a GIS which must be capable of storing and manipulating;much more complex objects such as polygons and polylines. Instead,;Paradise employs an object-oriented data model, providing a much;better match to the type needs of a GIS. Another significant difference;from current GIS systems is that Paradise employs parallelism;to facilitate executing and processing large data sets such as;satellite images.

The input is a set of images or video;streams, acquired from fixed or mobile cameras around a site,;and the output is a panoramic visualization of the scene in which;a virtual, user-controlled camera can be moved through the environment.;With this technology a user could interactively navigate through;a real environment, controlling a customized path of views of the;site that are not predetermined by the input images. The main research;question is how to adaptively combine a set of basis images to synthesize;new views of the scene without 3D models or 3D scene reconstruction;as an intermediate step. Recently we have developed an innovative;technique, which we call;view morphing,;that takes two basis;images and interpolates a continuous range of in-between images;corresponding to views on the linear path connecting the two camera centers.; Visual Exploration;Computer vision researchers have recently started to investigate how;to actively control the image acquisition process by controlling;camera parameters. We have been studying how to purposefully control the;position and orientation of a camera in order to dynamically adjust;viewpoint based on the appearance of a three-dimensional scene. The;use of real-time viewpoint-control behaviors is important for;solving tasks such as exploring an unknown object in order to find;specific surface markings, building a global model of an unknown;shape, or recognizing an object.;By coordinating simple observer behaviors that change the appearance;of surfaces in a well-defined way, we simplify the image computations;required, make precise the global progress of an algorithm, and;eliminate the need for accurate differential measurements of the;camera motion. We believe that this active approach of moving towards;viewpoints that are closely related to the geometry of the viewed;objects is a very important and general one. We have used this;approach to develop provably-correct algorithms for (1) moving to a;side view of a surface of revolution in order to recover its shape, and;(2) reconstructing the global surface of an unknown smooth,;arbitrarily-shaped object.; Visualization;In the area of visualization we have developed mapping techniques;capable of generating displays of all possible data objects defined in;a user's algorithm, without the need for user-defined, type-specific;graphics display procedures. This capability for displaying;arbitrary combinations of an algorithm's data objects in a common;frame of reference, coupled with interactive control of algorithm;execution, provides a powerful way to understand algorithm behavior,;especially interactive visual experiments with scientific data;analysis algorithms. We have implemented a system called VIS-AD for;experimenting with these techniques and have used it for visualizing;intermediate and final results of data analysis algorithms for;problems such as discriminating clouds in satellite images.;Recent Publications; S.

To me, the essence of intelligence;is the ability to learn and adapt, to learn to act;appropriately in order to reach our goals.;Reinforcement learning treats this problem in the general case where;the system has outputs to control actions that can change its environment,;and it has inputs through which it senses its environment. It also has an input;for reinforcement, which is a weak kind of feedback which can be expressed as;a positive or negative number. So, instead of having a teacher to present the;system with input/output pairs, the system instead receives ""thumbs up"" or;""thumbs down"" at irregular intervals.;My work has focussed on how the need to;distinguish good actions from bad ones can direct the process of building a;good representation of the environment in terms of relevant, or;important features. (See my note on;importance-based;feature extraction). Currently I am applying this notion of;importance to the problem of learning to balance the need to;explore the world with the need to perform optimally (exploration vs. exploitation).;I am also investigating ways of using importance to make the learning;process more efficient by allowing the system to specify the starting points for;its learning experiments;(active learning). My goal is to develop a better understanding of intelligent;adaptation. I hope that this will provide a basis for intelligent action which;will also benefit from knowledge-based and task-based work.

Our project focuses on the medium-;to long-term evolution of processor and system architectures, with an emphasis;on the memory system. Specifically, we are studying what the;relationship between the processor and main memory will be in future;systems: completely separate, as today, or integrated (and if so, to what extent).;Processing capability and bit storage may merge in at least two ways.;Because of increasing off-chip penalties (in issuable instructions) and/or;limited off-chip bandwidth, designers may place more and more capacity;on the processor chip and module, until eventually a sizable fraction;of main memory resides on-chip (represented by the arrow labeled MOP;in the above diagram). A different possibility is the migration of;processor capability onto the DRAM chips themselves, eventually;obviating the central processor (see the IRAM arrow above).;Our specific research currently focuses on the following areas:;Examining the performance impact of large memory latencies and;limited memory bandwidth in current and future microprocessor-based systems;Performance modeling of the various design points along the;processor/memory (P/M) integration spectrum;Cache hierarchy design for P/M integrated systems;Design of main memory banks in a P/M integrated system;Program execution in systems with multiple integrated chips;(DataScalar architectures);Galileo-specific publications:;Exploiting Optical Interconnects to Eliminate Serial Bottlenecks;Doug Burger and James R.

Chad Lane;[hcl@cs.wisc.edu];Announcements:; Program 7 is on-line and due Tues Nov 12.; IMPORTANT! You need to get the; new version of tribble.h (as of 11/4) before you compile. The; problem was that the enumerated types were not recognized outside of; the class. They must be declared inside the public section of the class.; As a result, the private section at the top needed to bumped down to the; private section at the bottom. This is shown in the new version.; Also note the definition of the RandomIntInRange() is; defined in-line so that you will not need a corresponding; function body in tribble.cpp. You can just call it from within the; class, and it will work.; In the file ""prog06.cpp"" I forgot to change the enumerated; type values to uppercase. You need to do this before you; compile everything. I have changed the; on-line copy of prog06.cpp if you just want to overwrite your; obsolete copy. Also, it used to say ""#include prog05.h"", so I changed; it to ""prog06.h""; You might also want to check the help link below again... something; was added.; Here are some Comments and; Suggestions for Program 6.; It is very important that you use the same name throughout; program 6 for the project parts (name of the project,; directory name, file names, etc.). I updated the program; description to be consistent with ""prog06."" If you saw; the old version (that used ""prog05""), please make sure; you are consistent with your naming. The only discrepency; is with the sample run in Chris Weaver's public directory; where it is called prog05, but this shouldn't matter for; your program (it is just a sample).; Program 6 is on-line and ready. It is crucial that you read; the entire assignment and understand class basics before you; attempt it, and that you get an early start. It is not; hard, but will require some time to piece everything; together. Bring questions to class on Tuesday!; About midterm grades for freshmen... you either got a B (which; means your doing fine), or a D (which means you're not doing so; great).

Memory system design is important,;because it largely determines a computer's sustained performance. My;work emphasizes quantitative analysis (often requiring new evaluation;techniques) of system-level (not just hardware) performance.;Much of my recent work is part of the Wisconsin Wind;Tunnel Projectwith Profs. Larus and Wood and many;students. The project expects most future massively-parallel computers;will be built from workstation-like nodes and programmed in high-level;parallel languages--like HPF--that support a shared address space in;which processes uniformly reference data. Our research seeks to;develop a consensus about the middle-level interface--below languages;and compilers and above system software and hardware. We have recently;proposed the Tempest interface that enables programmers,;compilers, and program libraries to implement and use message passing,;transparent shared memory, and hybrid combinations of the two. We are;developing Tempest implementations on a Thinking Machines CM-5, a;cluster of workstations (COW), and hypothetical hardware platforms.;The Wisconsin Wind Tunnel project is so named because we use our tools;to cull the design space of parallel supercomputers in a manner similar;to how aeronautical engineers use conventional wind tunnels to design;airplanes.;Other recent work with Madhu Talluri;targets improving translation lookaside buffer (TLB);and page table performance by clustering aligned groups of base pages.;Options require changes to hardware only (complete-subblocked TLBs),;operating system only (clustered page tables), or both (superpages;and partial-subblocked TLBs).;See our;ASPLOS;and;SOSP;papers.;A Sampler of Recent Papers;The Wisconsin Wind Tunnel Project: An Annotated Bibliography,;Mark D.

This work is the result of a collaboration at the;University of Wisconsin-Madison between;Prof. Olvi L. Mangasarian;of the Computer Sciences Department and;Dr. William H. Wolberg;of the departments of Surgery and Human Oncology.;Here is a copy of the;press release;distributed at the American Cancer Society Science Writers seminar in;March of 1994. It provides a good overview of this research.;Table of Contents; Diagnosis; Prognosis; Bibliography; Citation in the Popular Press; Local Related Links; Other Related Links;Diagnosis;This work grew out of the desire by Dr. Wolberg to accurately diagnose;breast masses based solely on a Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA). He;identified nine visually assessed characteristics of an FNA sample which;he considered;relevant to diagnosis. In collaboration with Prof. Mangasarian and;two of his graduate students, Rudy Setiono and;Kristin Bennett, a;classifier was constructed using the multisurface method (MSM) of pattern;separation on these nine features that;successfully diagnosed 97% of new cases. The resulting data set is;well-known as the;Wisconsin Breast Cancer Data.;The image analysis work began in 1990 with the addition of;Nick Street;to the research team. The goal was to diagnose the sample based on a;digital image of a small section of the FNA slide. The results of;this research have been consolidated into a software system known as;Xcyt, which is currently used by Dr. Wolberg in his clinical;practice. The diagnosis process is now performed as follows:; An FNA is taken from the breast mass. This material is then;mounted on a microscope slide and stained to highlight the cellular;nuclei. A portion of the slide in which the cells are;well-differentiated is then scanned using a digital camera and a;frame-grabber board.; The user then isolates the individual nuclei using Xcyt.;Using a mouse pointer, the user draws the approximate boundary of;each nucleus. Using a computer vision approach known as ""snakes"",;these approximations then converge to the exact nuclear boundaries.;This interactive process takes between two and five minutes per slide.;Here is an image showing;Xcyt in use.; Once all (or most) of the nuclei have been isolated in this;fasion, the program computes values for each of ten characteristics of;each nuclei, measuring size, shape and texture. The mean, standard;error and extreme values of these features are computed, resulting in;a total of 30 nuclear features for each sample.; Based on a training set of 569 cases, a linear classifier was;constructed to differentiate benign from malignant samples. This;classifier consists of a single separating plane in the space of three;of the features: Extreme Value of Area, Extreme Value of Smoothness,;and Mean Value of Texture. By projecting all the cases onto the;normal of this separating plane, approximate;probability densities of;the benign and;malignant points were constructed. These allow a simple Bayesian;computation of probability of malignancy for new patients. These;densities are shown to the patient, allowing her to judge the;""confidence"" of her diagnosis by comparison to hundreds of previous samples.;To date, this system has correctly diagnosed 176 consecutive new;patients (119 benign, 57 malignant). In only eight of those cases did;Xcyt return a ""suspicious"" diagnosis (that is, an estimated;probability of malignancy between 0.3 and 0.7).;A small subset of the source images used in this research can be found; here. These are very good;test cases for;image segmentation or object recognition algorithms. If your pet;segmentation algorithm can automatically identify all of the nuclei in;these images, please email me (street@cs.wisc.edu) and let's work together.;Prognosis;The second problem considered in this research is that of prognosis,;the prediction of the long-term behavior of the disease. We have;approached prognosis as a function-approximation problem, using input;features -- including those computed by Xcyt;-- to predict a;time of recurrence in malignant patients, using right-censored data.;Our solution is termed;the Recurrence Surface Approximation method (RSA), and utilizes a linear;program to construct a surface which predicts time of recurrence for;new patients. By examining the actual recurrence of those training cases;with similar predicted recurrence times, we can plot the probability of;disease-free survival for various times (out to 10 years) for an;individual patient. This capability has been incorporated into;Xcyt and an example is shown;here.;These survival curves plot the probability of disease-free survival versus;time (in years).;The black disease-free survival curve represents all patients in our;original study; the red curve represents the probability of;disease-free survival for the sample case. This particular case therefore;has an above-average prognosis, with a probability of being disease-free;after 10 years equal to about 80%.;The RSA procedure can also be used to compare the predictive power of;various prognostic factors. Our results indicate that precise,;detailed cytological information of the type provided by Xcyt;gives better prognostic accuracy than the traditional factors Tumor;Size and Lymph Node Status. If corroborated by other researchers,;this result could remove the need for the often painful axillary lymph;node surgery.;Chronological Bibliography;Linked papers are provided in postscript format; if you don't have a;postscript viewer, you can download the file (e.g., shift-click in Netscape);and print it.

These formulations however could fail;on sets that were not separable by a surface linear in its parameters.;A Multisurface Method (MSM) [68,93];avoided this difficulty. MSM separates 2 disjoint finite point sets in;n-dimensional Euclidean space as follows:; Choose 2 parallel planes in n-dimensional Euclidean space; as close together so that only the region between the two planes; contains points from both sets (i.e. the regions NOT between the; 2 parallel planes contain only points of 1 set or no points).; Discard the points in the regions not between the 2 parallel planes.; Repeat the process on the points between the 2 parallel planes, until; the region between the 2 parallel planes contains no points or very; few points.;;Multisurface Method Tree (MSM-T),;a variant on the Multisurface Method was developed in;[92a], [92b], [93].;Let A and B be finite disjoint point sets in n-dimensional Euclidean;space.;The goal of MSM-T is to;determine a sequence of planes in n-dimensional Euclidean;space that separate the sets A and B as follows:; Determine a plane in n-dimensional Euclidean space that; minimizes the average ""distances"" of misclassified points. A point from; set A is misclassified if it lies on the side of the separating; plane assigned to B.; Similarly, a point from set B is misclassified if it lies; on the side of the separating plane assigned to A.; If the regions assigned to A and B contain only (or; mostly) points of the set A or B, then stop.; Otherwise, generate another; error-minimizing plane (in 1.) in this region.;The sequence of planes generated can be viewed as a decision tree. For each;node in the tree, the best split of the points reaching that node is found;by solving the LP in 1, above. The node is split into 2 branches, and the;same procedure is applied until there are only (or mostly) points of one;set at the node. This linear programming approach can also be viewed as;training a neural network with 1 hidden layer;(see [93]).;MSM-T has been shown to learn concepts as well or better than more traditional;learning methods such as C4.5 and CART. It also has an advantage over;artificial neural network (ANN) methods such as backpropagation in;that training proceeds much faster (see [92a]).;Implementations of MSM-T;;MSM-T has been implemented in C using the MINOS numerical;optimization package by Nick Street and Kristin Bennett. MSM-T has also been implemented;for the MATLAB;optimization package by Paul Bradley. Following is a description of the MATLAB implementation of MSM-T.

The domains of these;applications include financial management, historical analysis,;economic and social sciences, metereology, medical sciences and;biological sciences. Existing relational databases are inadequate in;this regard; data collections are treated as sets, not sequences.;Consequently, expressing sequence queries is tedious, and evaluating;them is inefficient.;Databases should;model the data using the abstraction of sequences ,;allow data sequences to be queried in a declarative manner ,;utilizing the ordered semantics;take advantage of the unique opportunities available for query;optimization and evaluation;integrate sequence data with relational data, so that users can;store and query a combination of relation and sequences;These requirements serve as the goals of the SEQ project.;Various kinds of sequences need to be supported, temporal sequences being the;most important kind. Queries should be expressible using notions like;""next"" and ""previous"" which are natural when considering sequences.;These queries should be optimized so that they can be evaluated efficiently.;These issues need to be studied in theory, and then a database system needs;to be built that demonstrates the feasibility of the theoretical ideas.;Project Status;The current status of the project is:;We have defined the SEQ data model that can support;most important kinds of sequence data. We have also defined algebraic;query operators that can be composed to form sequence queries (analogous;to the composition of relational algebra operators to form relation queries).;We have described how sequence queries can be efficiently processed,;and have identified various optimization techniques.;We use a sequence query language Sequin that can;declaratively express queries over sequences. A Sequin;query can include embedded expressions in a relational query language like;SQL, or vice-versa.;We are building a disk-based database system to demonstrate the;feasibility of our proposals. The system implements the SEQ;model using a nested complex object architecture. It is built over the;SHORE storage manager and can process several megabytes of data.;Relations and sequences are supported in an integrated and extensible;manner.;Motivating Example of a Sequence Query;A weather monitoring system records information about various meteorological;phenomena. There is a sequentiality in the occurrence of these phenomena; the;various meteorological events are sequenced by the time at which they are;recorded. A scientist asks the query:; ""For which volcano eruptions did;the most recent earthquake have a strength greater than 7.0 on the Richter;scale?"".;If this query is to be expressed in a relational query language like SQL,;complex features like groupby clauses, correlated subqueries and aggregate;functions are required. Further, a conventional relational query optimizer;would not find an efficient query execution plan, even given the knowledge;that the Earthquakes and Volcano relations are sorted by time.;However a very efficient plan exists, if one models the data as sequences;ordered by time. The two sequences can be scanned in lock step;(similar to a sort merge join). The most recent earthquake record scanned;can be stored in a temporary buffer. Whenever a volcano record is;processed, the value of the most recent earthquake record stored in the;buffer is checked to see if its strength was greater than 7.0, possibly;generating an answer. This query can therefore be processed with a single;scan of the two sequences, and using very little memory. The key to such;optimization is the sequentiality of the data and the query.;Data Model;The details of the SEQ data model are;described in a published paper (click here;for postscript version). Here we present the gist of it.;The basic model of a sequence is a set of records mapped to an ordered;domain of ``positions''.;This many-to-many relationship between records and;positions can be viewed in two dual but distinct ways: as a set of records;mapped to each position, or as a set of positions mapped to each record.;These two views are called ``Positional'' and ``Record-Oriented'' respectively,;and each gives rise to a set of query operators based on that view.;Queries on sequences could require operators of either or both flavors.;The Record-Oriented operators are similar to relational;operators and include various kinds of joins (overlap, containment, etc) and;aggregates. Such operators have been extensively explored by researchers;in the temporal database community.;The Positional operators include Next, Previous, Offset, Moving;Aggregates, etc. Further operators allow ``zooming'' operations on;sequences by means of collapsing and expanding the ordering domains;associated with the sequence. For instance, a daily sequence could be;``zoomed out'' (i.e.collapsed) to a weekly sequence, or ``zoomed in'';(i.e. expanded) to an hourly sequence.;The last part of the model deals with operations on groups (i.e. sets) of;sequences. The advantage is that this makes it easy to model queries;involving sequence collections (which is the case in many real-world;situations). All the sequence operators are extended to work with groups;of similar sequences, instead of with single sequences. This extension;of the SEQ model indicates that a practical implementation of;SEQ would probably involve a nested complex object system.; Sequin Query Language;We have devised a query language called Sequin using;which declarative sequence queries can be specified. The language;is similar in flavor to SQL, except that the inputs to queries;as well as the results of queries are sequences. Click; here for a description of the Sequin;language with examples.;Optimization Techniques;We have proposed new optimization techniques for sequence queries;involving Positional operators. There are existing techniques that;have been proposed for queries with Record-Oriented operators.;Our optimizations use query transformations, meta--data, and caching of;intermediate results to efficiently evaluate a query. An optimal query;evaluation plan can be generated using an algorithm that relies on cost;estimates. One of the important observations is that accessing sequence data;in a single stream is probably very efficient, and evaluation strategies;should take this into account.;The details of the optimization techniques are;described in a published paper (click here;for postscript version).;System Development;The SEQ database system has a client-server;architecture, supporting multiple clients via;a multi-threaded server. The server is built on;top of the SHORE;storage manager. Both Sequin;and a subset of SQL are supported as query languages;which can be embedded inside each other. The data model;is a nested complex object model that allows arbitrary;levels of nesting of relations inside sequences and vice;versa. The system is also extensible, providing support;for new data types, new ordering domains, user-defined functions,;new storage implementations and new query languages.

The objective is to create;tools that provide powerful language-specific program-manipulation;operations. In particular, my work has explored how program slicing;can serve as the basis for such program-manipulation operations.;The slice of a program with respect to a set of program elements;S is;a projection of the program that includes only program elements that;might affect (either directly or transitively) the values of the;variables used at members of S. Slicing allows one to find;semantically meaningful decompositions of programs, where the;decompositions consist of elements that are not textually contiguous.;Program slicing is a fundamental operation that can aid in solving;many software-engineering problems. For instance, it has applications;in program understanding, maintenance, debugging, testing,;differencing, specialization, reuse, and merging.;The projects that my co-workers and I are carrying out are aimed at;improving the underlying technology for program slicing (and related;operations),;implementing program slicers,;developing methods for using slicing in software-engineering tools, and;building slicing-based program-manipulation tools.;(Click;here;for the home page of the Wisconsin Program Slicing Project.);Recently, we established some unexpected connections between;interprocedural dataflow analysis and our previous work on;interprocedural program slicing.;In particular, we showed that a large class of interprocedural;dataflow-analysis problems can be solved by transforming;them into a special kind of graph-reachability problem.;This graph-reachability problem can be solved precisely in polynomial time;by the algorithm originally developed for interprocedural slicing.;I am also interested in the subject of incremental algorithms.;By an incremental algorithm,;I mean an algorithm that makes use of the solution to one problem;instance to find the solution to a ``nearby'' problem instance.;Categorized Index to Publications;Program Slicing, Differencing, Merging, etc.;Overview;[icse92];Slicing;[dagstuhl96];[fse94];[slicing_patent];David Binkley's Thesis;[acta91];[toplas90] (also [pldi88]);Chopping;[fse95b];Differencing;[differencing91];Wuu Yang's Thesis;Merging;[tosem95];[tosem92] (also [sigsoft90]);David Binkley's Thesis;Wuu Yang's Thesis;[iwscm89];[toplas89] (also [popl88a], [esop88], and [iwsvcc88]);Algebra of slices (and applications to program merging);[scp91] (also [esop90]);[ccpsd91];[amast91];[npfo_submission];Semantics and slicing;[tr900];[ccipl89];[tr890];[popl88b];Other applications of slicing;[dagstuhl96];[pepm95a];Implemented slicing system;[prog_integration_system];[prog_integration_manual];[tr819];Note: the system described in these papers handles a small subset;of Pascal.;The system is distributed under license, which you may obtain by clicking;here.;We are currently retargeting the implementation to handle C programs, and;expect to distribute a system that supports slicing, chopping, and;differencing (but probably not integration) of C programs in 1996.;Miscellaneous;[tr947];Ph.D. Theses;David Binkley's Thesis;Wuu Yang's Thesis;Phil Pfeiffer's Thesis;Interprocedural Dataflow Analysis;Demand IDFA via bottom-up logic programming and the magic-sets transformation;[ald94] (also [cc94]);Exhaustive and Demand IDFA via graph reachability;[tr1283] (also [fse95a]);[popl95];[diku94];IDFA using more than graph reachability;[tcs_ide_paper] (also [fase95]);PTIME completeness of IDFA;[acta_paper];Alias Analysis, Pointer Analysis, and Shape Analysis;[rsw96];[dagstuhl96];[tr1323] (also [popl96] and [tr1276]);[pepm95b];[pfeiffer_thesis];[sigplan89];Language-Based Program-Development Environments; [fse96]; [dagstuhl92]; Synthesizer Generator Book; Synthesizer Generator Manual; [computer87] (also [lape92]); [popl86]; T.

Scout;Services is a project of the InterNIC;and is supported by the National Science;Foundation. Net Scout Services supports Internet users in the;higher-education community by providing timely information about the best;resources and tools on the Internet. Our goal is to help researchers and;educators use the Internet effectively in their work. Each week we filter;hundreds of items about the Internet, edit and organize the most;important, and present the information in multiple usable formats.; Services include the Scout Report, the Scout Toolkit, Net-happenings, and coming soon;the Scout Sprouts Report, a newsletter written by kids for kids.;Over 35,000 people receive the Scout Report each week via email, and;thousands more read it on the Web. The Scout Report is an annotated;listing of the best new and newly discovered Internet resources and tools,;and it is the only publication of its kind devoted to the research and;education community. The Scout Report is very selective in the items;included in each issue. Over 10,000 people receive Net-happenings;postings every weekday, and again, thousands more read it via the Web or;the newsgroup each day. See the Net Scout Services page for more;information on these and other services.; Professional Background; I have been involved in nation-wide Internet projects since 1989 when;I joined Merit, Inc., in Ann Arbor, the organization that managed the;NSFNET backbone project from 1987-1995. I worked in the Information;Services division of the project, and spent three years speaking to;national and international higher-education audiences about the Internet;and its resources. I also developed and produced the Merit Network Seminar;Series, the first national seminar series focused on the needs of Internet;end-users.; Later I became the Director of Network Information Services for;CERFnet, a respected Internet provider based in San Diego. While there I;co-wrote the proposal which resulted in the award of part of the InterNIC;project under a 5 year cooperative agreement with the National Science;Foundation (NSF). In the third year of the agreement, NSF terminated the;portion of the InterNIC based in San Diego, but chose to continue the work;of the Internet Scout. At that time I elected to relocate to Wisconsin and;requested that NSF approve the relocation of the Scout project to the;Computer Sciences department at UW - Madison, to which they heartily;agreed.; Future Plans for Scout Services;At this time the Scout Services staff includes Jack Solock, Special;Librarian, and myself. During May the project will expand with the;addition of 2 FTE, including an open System;Administrator position and an open Special;Librarian position. On June 6 Matthew Livesey will join the staff as a;Project Assistant. Goals for the new staff will include expansion of the;Scout Toolkit and the addition of discipline-specific services, such as;Scout Reports and Web pages devoted to specific areas of study.;During 1996 Scout Services will also branch into one or more research;areas in collaboration with InterNIC Support Services and with groups at;UW-Madison and other U.S. campuses. Potential research topics include;network information discovery and retrieval (NIDR), and;discipline-oriented information gathering and publication. Depending on;the nature of the research, additional staff will be hired and will;include;computer science researchers at the graduate and undergraduate levels.; For More Information; Visit our Web site to find out more about Scout Services or to join any of;our mailing lists.

We have;developed an approach for determining if an image sequence could have been;produced by an object whose motion is periodic in some reference frame.;Unlike all previous attempts to determine periodicity information, our;approach allows the camera to move during filming. For more information;(1.3M poscript paper), click;here.;;Period Trace;This image shows the period trace (red lines) recovered from an image;sequence of a phonograph turntable. Ramps correspond to moments in time;where the turntable was momentarily slowed. The period trace is shown;superimposed on the error surface from which it was recovered.;Real repeating motions tend not to be perfectly even, i.e., the period varies;slightly from one cycle to the next, because of physically important changes;in the scene. A generalization of period is defined for cyclic motions;that makes periodic variation explicit. This representation, called the; period trace, is compact and purely temporal, describing the evolution;of an object or scene without reference to spatial quantities such as;position or velocity. By delimiting cycles and identifying correspondences;across cycles, the period trace provides a means of temporally parsing;a cyclic motion. In addition, several purely temporal motion features can;be derived, relating to the nature and location of irregularities.;The period trace;can also be used for medical image enhancement by compositing images from;different cycles. Furthermore, the period trace can be reliably recovered;from image sequences in a view-invariant fashion using a theory of;affine invariance.

A major focus is improving the dialog between human;teachers and machine learners. Traditionally, this interaction is limited to;the teacher providing labelled training examples to the machine. Toward the;goal of widening the ``communication pipeline'' between human and machine, we;have been developing a language for providing, in a natural manner and at any;time, general-purpose advice to a machine learner. In our approach, the human;advice-giver observes the behavior of the learner and occasionally makes;suggestions, expressed in a simple language. Based on techniques developed in;our work on knowledge-based neural networks, these instructions are inserted;directly into learner. Subsequent connectionist (neural network) learning;further integrates and refines the advice.;Currently, we are extending the language used to advise our learning algorithms,;studying new ways of incorporating this advice into neural networks,;investigating the extraction of human-comprehensible rules from trained neural networks,;and developing methods for choosing good representations for training examples.;We are also developing parallel algorithms,;on the department's Condor system and our CM-5 computer,;for machine learning and computational biology.;Shavlik (1992);and (1996);provide an overview of our approach to knowledge-based neural networks.;Recent developments appear in the papers referenced on this page, as well;as in the ""home pages"" of the students listed below.; PhD Students;; Carolyn Allex;; Kevin Cherkauer;; Mark Craven (graduated September 1996);; Tina Eliassi-Rad; Eric Gutstein (graduated June 1993);; Richard Maclin (graduated August 1995);; David Opitz (graduated August 1995);; Geoffrey Towell (graduated October 1991);; Selected Recent Publications;Click;here to see our recent titles and abstracts;(you can also grab all our abstracts in one;file;or directly access;our ftp directory of postscript versions of recent papers.; Maclin, R. & Shavlik, J.

No prior computer programming experience is required and only a basic knowledge of computers is assumed. The material covered will enable you to write simple computer programs to solve engineering problems in elementary courses. All programming is done in FORTRAN. This course is intended for students who received little or no programming instruction in high school.;This section is taught entirely in the FORTRAN programming language and is intended primarily for engineering students and non-computer science majors.

This course is Credit/No Credit only. There are no tests or exams.; 100% - Assignments (4 @ 24% each + 1 for 4%); Syllabus (tentative);The following topics and sections of the text will be approximately covered each week during the semester. You will only get the most out of this class if you read the relevant sections of the text before coming to class. This way you will be able to ask questions in class about anything that you are unsure of, instead of waiting until you're in the lab trying to work on an assignment to discover you didn't really understand something.;Weeks 1-8; Text and Lecture Notes;Text:;Fortran with Engineering Applications, 5th. edition, by E.

Important - the on-line lecture notes are not a substitute for coming to class. They do not include any examples or additional notes that I put on the board (except for Week1). You are responsible for all the material covered in class.;Week1;Week2; Programming Assignments;There are four programming assignments each contributing 25% to your final grade. You must attempt to complete every programming assignment. If you hand in a program that does not run or will not even compile without errors then it will get a very low mark (check the gradesheets) and you risk failing the course.;Gradesheets;What to do in DOS/Fortran (and how to hand in assignments online); Late Policy;Policy on Academic Misconduct (i.e. cheating);Assignment Specifications:;Program0, due Friday 11/1/96, 5:00pm; Program1, due Wednesday 11/13/96, 5:00pm;How to Get Help with Your Assignments:;Consultants:; The consultants in the computer lab can help you with most problems. They wear name tags and are on duty from approximately 8:00 am to 11:00 pm. Consultants can answer short questions about compiler error messages and program syntax, as well as how to login, use the printers, send E-mail, run Netscape, etc.;Click here for more information about the consultants.;;Instructor:; General questions about an assignment or questions that may require a long explanation are best answered by myself. Please see me during office hours or send me E-mail. I am not normally in my office except during office hours because I do my research from home via a modem. Therefore, if you want to see me outside of office hours please make an appointment first. You can most easily contact me by E-mail because I regularly login and read my E-mail from home. If you mail from Netscape, make sure to include your name and e-mail address, as they don't show up for me, so I won't know who mailed me and be able to respond otherwise.;Click here to send me E-mail.;; Problem Solving Exercises;One of the most important skills you will learn in this class is problem solving. Good problem solving skills distinguish a ""good"" computer programmer from a ""bad"" one - it doesn't matter how familiar or skilled you are in a particular programming language, if you do not understand how to solve the problem then you will not be able to write a computer program for it in any language.;To help you learn problem solving skills and techniques I will assign weekly problem solving exercises. These will be small but non-trivial problems which I will give out each Monday. You should look at the problem and think about it during the week and right down the steps you would go through to solve the problem; i.e. the overall structure of your program. This is primarily an exercise in general problem solving so you do not have to write any FORTRAN code (though you may if you want to and have time) and your solution/algorithm should not even be dependent on a particular programming language such as FORTRAN. We will go over the solution in class the following Monday.;Exercises:; Computer Lab;You will be using the Vectra lab in Rm. 1350 Computer Science & Statistics containing Hewlett-Packard Vectra's running Microsoft Windows and Microsoft FORTRAN. This lab is open from 7:00 am to 1:00 am seven days a week except certain holidays. The printer room is located across the hall in Rm. 1359. You have a quota of 300 pages on which; to print. Once you exceed that quota you must contact the lab either by e-mail or by going to room 2310 during office hours (they prefer e-mail) to pay to increase your quota.;Beware: Some of the machines in the Vectra lab aren't configured correctly. In particular, the machines along the wall closest to the outside;hallway, towards the left-hand part of the room. Try to avoid those if you can.;You may also use your home or dorm computers to write your programs, however you will probably have to purchase your own copy of Microsoft FORTRAN or Lahey Personal FORTRAN (see the inside cover of the textbook). You may also work in any of the other computer labs on campus, however most do not have FORTRAN compilers (please see me first before using the CAE lab).;The software you will be using in the lab includes:;Microsoft Windows and MS-DOS;E-mail;Netscape; Other Pointers of Interest; CS 110 Home Page; Jeff Lampert's Home Page; Computer Sciences Department Home Page; Starting Points for Internet Exploration; Lycos (search the World-Wide-Web by keyword);; Dilbert (comic relief for those long nights before an assignment is due);Copyright © 1996 Modified from Gareth S.

In the area of fully;automatic systems, our focus is on development of means for;geometric reasoning and control necessary for automatic planning of;motion in a complex environment. A machine equipped with such means;is able to purposely move in a complex scene with multiple, perhaps;moving, obstacles of arbitrary shapes. We are especially interested;in a paradigm which assumes incomplete information and continuous;real-time computation based on sensory feedback (e.g., from vision;or range sensors). This model suggests economic active sensing; guided by the motion planning needs. A strong factor in such;systems is the effect of system dynamics and nonholonomic;contstraints on real-time control.;; As part of our work on human-centered systems, we study (jointly;with cognitive scientists) human skills in motion planning and space;orientation. These results are then used for comparison with the;performance of automatic systems and for developong hybrid physical;(teleoperated) and computer graphics interaction systems. The major;property of such a hybrid system is that it blends together, in a;synergistic manner, human and machine intelligences.

Several of the algorithms underlying the Coral;system have been developed by members of the group during the duration;of the project (since 1988).;Overview:;Coral is a deductive system which supports a rich declarative language,;and an interface to C++ which allows for a combination of declaritive;and imperative programming. The declarative query language supports;general Horn clauses augmented with complex terms, set-grouping,;aggregation, negation, and relations with tuples that contain;(universally quantified) variables. A CORAL declarative program can;be organized as a collection of interacting modules. The CORAL;implementation supports a wide range of evaluation strategies, and;automatically chooses an efficient evaluation strategy for each module;in the program. In addition, users are permitted to guide query optimization,;if desired, by selecting from among a wide range of control choices at;the level of each module.;The CORAL system provides imperative constructs such as update, insert;and delete rules. CORAL also has an interface with C++, and users can;program in a combination of declarative CORAL and C++ extended with;CORAL primitives. A high degree of extensibility is provided by allowing;C++ programmers to use the class structure of C++ to enhance the CORAL;implemenation. CORAL provides support for both main-memory and;disk-resident data. Disk-resident data is supported using the;EXODUS;storage mananger, which also provides transaction management in a;client-server environment.;Release Information:;The current release of Coral is Version 1.5, released October 10, 1996.;To install Coral on your system, then grab the tar file you want.;The nobin version contains only the source code, requiring;you to compile Coral.

The merit function used measures both the violation in;feasibility and in complementarity. MILES also employs a restart;procedure in cases where the Newton point cannot be computed due to;termination in a secondary ray.;Every linearized subproblem is rescaled to equilibrate the elements;appearing in the data of the subproblem.;PATH:;(Runs under GAMS/MCP;or directly under MATLAB):;The PATH solver applies techniques similar;to those used in Newton methods for smooth systems to a;nonsmooth reformulation of the MCP. The algorithm;consists of a sequence of major iterations, each consisting of an;approximation or linearization step similar to that of MILES,;the construction of a path;to the Newton point (the solution to the approximation), and a;possible search of this path. When the Newton point does not exists or the;path cannot be entirely constructed, a step along the partially;computed path is taken before the problem is relinearized. A;nonmonotone watchdog strategy is employed in applying the path search;;this helps avoid convergence to local minima of the norm function for;the underlying nonsmooth equation and keeps the number of function;evaluations required as small as possible.

By applying;object-oriented and parallel database technologies to the problem of;storing and manipulating geographic information we hope to;significantly advance the size and complexity of GIS data sets that;can be successfully stored, browsed, and queried.; Client Server Paradise:;Paradise is a database;system aimed at handling GIS types of applications. Paradise provides;a graphical user interface for querying and browsing the database and;supports a subset of SQL for issuing ad-hoc queries. Paradise;provides an extended-relational data model for modeling GIS;applications. In addition to support for the base data types such as;integer, real, and string, Paradise has built-in support for raster,;polygon, polyline, point, circle, and video (mpeg images) data.;Paradise uses SHORE as its underlying persistent object manager.;The Paradise front end allows you to display objects with spatial;attributes on a 2-D map. The map provides a layered display for;overlapping spatial attributes. Each layer corresponds to one query.;You can customize the ordering and display of the layers by selecting;color, labelling, and other display attributes for each query.;The database can be queried either with a graphical interface or with;ad-hoc queries. The graphical interface can be be used to issue;implicit spatial queries by zooming, clicking, and sketching a;rubber-banded box. For ad-hoc queries, Paradise provides a query;composer. Menus in the query composer provide access to the database;schema to assist in query composition. Query results can either be;viewed on the 2-D map, if they have spatial attributes, or they can be;displayed in a table so that you can browse the tuples in the result.;The front end also provides context-sensitive help.;Paradise supports a subset of SQL for issuing ad-hoc queries. To SQL;we have added the ability to invoke methods defined on the extended;set of types. For example, you can calculate the area of a polygon by;using the method polygon.area(). Paradise also supports the standard;database operations including create and drop database, create and;drop extent, create and drop indices, insert, and update.;The current version of Paradise employs a client-server architecture.;The front-end ships queries in our SQL syntax to the Paradise;server for execution. After executing the query, the server ships the;result objects back to the client. The Paradise server is;multi-threaded so that multiple clients can connect to the same;server.

This;interface is intended to ease the transition of applications from the;Unix file system environment to Shore as existing Unix tools such as vi;and cc will be able to store their data in Shore objects without;modification (basically a Unix file becomes either a single Shore;object or the text field of a more complex object).;Overview:;SHORE is something of a hybrid system by nature, inheriting;characteristics both from object-oriented database systems and from;file systems. This section briefly describe the basic features of;SHORE. The paper,;Shoring Up Persistent Applications,;describes SHORE in much greater detail.;SHORE has three major goals:;Scalability;Support for hardware and language heterogeneity;Support for existing, file-based applications;When the SHORE project began 3 years ago, these goals were unique;among the research and commercial OODBMS community. While the; ODMG effort;has also concentrated on providing some degree of support for language;heterogeneity (which, in turn, facilitates hardware heterogeneity),;SHORE remains distinguished by its focus on scalability and support;for applications that depend on the Unix file system for persistent;storage. Furthermore, since the SHORE data model (SDL) is basically;compatible with the ODMG data model (ODL),;we expect that much of the technology that we develop can eventually be;transferred to the commercial sector.;Scalable Architecture;SHORE's software architecture is unique is several ways.;First, SHORE uses a symmetric, peer-to-peer distributed;architecture. In SHORE, every participating processor runs a;SHORE server process whether or not the processor has SHORE data disks;attached. The software has been designed to be scalable;;it can run on a single processor, a network of workstations, or;a large parallel processor such as the Intel Paragon or IBM SP1/2.;This design is in contrast to the client-server architecture;used by EXODUS and all the OODBMS vendors. While a client-server;architecture is fine for a design environment such as is typically;used in software and hardware CAD efforts, it is not scalable.;The second unique feature of the SHORE architecture is its notion;of a ``value-added'' server. By structuring the software that runs;in the server with extensibility in mind, it is relatively simple for;users to build application-specific servers. For example, the;Paradise project;is already using the SHORE server to build a geographic information system for; NASA's;EOSDIS project.;We feel that these two unique pieces of technology will play a;important role in a variety of future research and commercial endeavors.;For example, the digital libraries of the future will almost certainly;depend on the availability of scalable, persistent object technology.;Such systems are going to store, retrieve, manipulate, and transmit;objects containing video and pictures as well as text. While;current OODBMS products could be used, these systems are oriented;toward dealing with gigabytes, and not terabytes, of data.;Customizability is equally important. The indexing, retrieval,;and query processing mechanisms needed for a digital library;are very different from those required for a geographic information;system.;Language and Hardware Heterogeneity;Objects in SHORE are typed. SHORE provides a single, language-neutral;type system that is used to define the types of all SHORE objects.;This type system is embodied in the SHORE Data Language (SDL),;which is the language in which SHORE object types are defined.;SDL enhances the OMG data model IDL with support for database;features such as bulk types (e.g., sets and lists) and persistence.;The provision of typed persistent objects simplifies the task of;supporting heterogeneous hardware environments and makes it feasible;to support access to persistent objects from multiple programming;languages, which is a key objective of the SHORE project.;As mentioned earlier, SDL is quite closely related to ODL,;the language-neutral object type definition language that was;recently proposed as a standard by the OODB vendor consortium ODMG.;In terms of its emphasis, however, ODMG has largely concentrated on;providing a standardized interface to existing C++ oriented OODBs.;Our focus is on support for inter-language object sharing within;a large name-space of objects.;Support for Existing, File-based Applications;A major goal of SHORE is to enable applications that currently;use untyped, byte-oriented files for their persistent data,;flattening and un-flattening their data each time it is accessed,;to stop doing so.;Such applications should be able to store their data as typed, structured;objects for more convenient, type-safe, intra- and inter-program data sharing.;Our ultimate hope is that SHORE will displace byte-oriented;file systems such as the Unix file system.;SHORE provides two major services from a file system standpoint. First,;to support object naming and space management in a world with many;persistent objects, SHORE provides a flexible, tree-structured,;Unix-like name-space in which all persistent objects are reachable,;either directly or indirectly. Doing so gives SHORE users;a familiar framework in which to register individual;persistent objects (termed ""registered"" objects), the roots of;large persistent data structures, or bulk sets of unnamed objects (termed;""anonymous"" objects). The realization of this framework involves;several different kinds of SHORE file system objects, including;directories, pools (which are files containing anonymous objects),;symbolic links, and cross references.;SHORE provides two mechanisms to ease the transition of legacy Unix;applications such as compilers, editors, and CAD systems from;traditional byte-stream files to SHORE.;First, for applications that can be re-linked, SHORE provides a standard;Unix-compatible file system interface (e.g. open, close, read,;write, mkdir, chdir,.).;In order to make access to SHORE objects via Unix file system calls;possible, the definer of a SHORE object type can optionally designate one;variable-length byte string or character string attribute of the object as;being the object's ""Unix data"". Programs that attempt to read an object;through SHORE counterparts of the Unix file system calls;will only see this portion of the object. For legacy programs that;wish to do so without being re-linked, it is possible to NFS-mount a;SHORE file system and access the Unix data;contained in its objects directly. This makes it feasible for both;new and old applications to access the same set of objects.;While old applications can only access the ""Unix data"" component;of the object, new applications can define and access other, more;structured, attributes of the object.;Release Information:;Below is the latest time table for the release of SHORE.;These dates are approximate and subject to change.;If you have any questions, contact;shore_support@cs.wisc.edu.; Beta Release (0.9);On May 3, 1995 we had our first beta release.; Beta Release (0.9.3);The second Beta-rlease of Shore (version 0.9.3); is now available (Sept 18, 1995).;It includes improved documentation, more complete;implementations of many SDL features, many bug fixes, and ports to;Solaris, HP-UX, Linux.; Version 1.0;On August 6, 1995 we released Shore, version 1.0.;Gzip'd tar files of the source, documentation and a binary release (sparc and;pentium solaris 2.5), can be found at;;.;Mailing Lists;There are two Shore-related mailing lists:;shore_support@cs.wisc.edu;and;shore_all@cs.wisc.edu;.;shore_support@cs.wisc.edu;This mailing list reaches the Shore development team.;It is for use;by Shore users to submit questions, comments, and bug reports to us.;You cannot subscribe to this mailing list.; shore_all@cs.wisc.edu;This is a mailing list for users of (and those interested in) SHORE.;This list is managed by the listproc software at the UW-Madison;CS department.

This is essentially the inverse projection problem. Existing Structure-From-Motion (SFM) techniques solve this problem by examining multiple images projected from a rigid scene. However SFM has not been used extensively in practice because these techniques are very sensitive to noise, do not accurately model optical projection, or restrict the position of the observer and/or the structure of the scene. My research uses a new technique for solving the inverse projection problem called the Concurrent Projector Model which makes no assumptions about the scene other than it is rigid and no assumptions about the position of the observer. This technique uses a projector based model of projection instead of the camera based model traditionally used in SFM. As a result, the algorithm is defined for any geometric transformation in any dimension, not just 3-D perspective projection. For a given transformation and dimension the algorithm identifies when the inverse projection problem is under-constrained and specifies the minimum number of points and images required to solve it. The Concurrent Projector Model can also examine additional points and images to minimize the types of projection errors that occur in real-world applications by allowing the projectors to approximately intersect.;This technique is currently being applied to the problem of robot navigation and exploration to both determine the position of a robot in an unknown environment and at the same time to map this environment.;Advisor:; Prof. Charles R.

These will be small but non-trivial problems which I will give out each Monday. You should look at the problem and think about it during the week and right down the steps you would go through to solve the problem; i.e. the overall structure of your program. This is primarily an exercise in general problem solving so you do not have to write any FORTRAN code (though you may if you want to and have time) and your solution/algorithm should not even be dependent on a particular programming language such as FORTRAN.

In particular, I am investigating two techniques to improve;file system performance: application-specific replacement policies for the file;cache, and aggressive prefetching of file data from the disk. I have;developed a system in which the kernel allocates physical pages to individual;applications, and each application is responsible for deciding how to use;its physical pages for caching and prefetching. The system uses a fair;global allocation policy in the kernel, and carefully integrates cache;replacement, prefetching and disk scheduling. A prototype implementation;on uniprocessor systems has demonstrated;that good application-chosen replacement strategies and prefetching information;can significantly improve the I/O performance of many applications.;Currently, I am extending these techniques to parallel systems. I am;developing integrated caching and prefetching algorithms for parallel disk;arrays. In addition, I am investigating the global resource management;problems in operating systems.;Last modified: Wed Apr 24 21:38:49 1996 by Pei Cao;cao@cs.wisc.edu;" +"CS736 Spring 1996; CS 736: Advanced Operating Systems (Spring 1996); Summary;This course is intended to give you a broad exposure to advanced;operating systems topics.;There are two important components of this course: reading and discussion of;various research papers, and a project involving implementation of an;experimental system.

In the performance area, topics;of current interest include performance tradeoffs and techniques for;object-oriented database systems, design and evaluation of algorithms;related to transaction processing, and scheduling of complex multi-user;database workloads based on user-specified performance goals.;In the next-generation database system area, I have been involved in the;EXODUS extensible DBMS project; I am now involved in SHORE, a project aimed;at developing a scalable repository for the storage and sharing of persistent;objects in a heterogeneous environment. The goal of the SHORE effort, which;is building upon experience from the EXODUS project, is to meet the object;management needs of (and to replace the use of Unix files in) applications;such as CAD/CAM and CASE.;Most recently, I have moved from academia to industry. After twelve great;years as a part of what's become the best academic database systems research;group in the known universe, the time has come for me to tackle some new and;different challenges. I am now working at the IBM Almaden Research Center (the;source of a number of of the papers that I've been teaching to my students for;the past twelve years). My IBM work will be related to objects and databases,;with a significant fraction of my time being spent on a relatively new project;there called Garlic.

(The same statement;is not true about Pascal. C is also widely available, but after an;initial startup period you will be more productive in C++ than in C.);If you go on to take more computer science courses, with few exceptions;you will be required to use C++ in those courses.;Text;The text book for this course is;Data Abstraction and Problem Solving with C++: Walls and Mirrors;by Frank M. Carrano (ISBN # 0-8053-1226-9).;This is a well-written text that covers most;(but not all) of the material in this course.;It also includes a lot about C++, so a separate text for the language is not;necessary.;For my lectures I will often (but not always) be following;;CS 367 Lecture Notes - Fall 1993;by David J. DeWitt.;These notes are actually considerably more complete that simple lecture;notes, but they are still short of a true text book (there is;very little narrative text, no exercises, etc.);As a recommended additional source, you may want to purchase these notes, which;are available from the DoIT documentation desk near the Dayton Street entrance;of the Computer Sciences building (1210 W. Dayton St).;If this is the first experience with Unix for you, you will need;some information about activating your account, logging in, creating, editing,;and manipulating files, and compiling, running, and debugging programs.;The handout;CS 1000, available from the DoIT information desk (where the DeWitt notes;are available), contains all the key information.;You will find it invaluable.;See also the help section below.;As I mentioned above, the lectures will often follow the DeWitt notes, although;I may supplement them with a few handouts during the course;of the semester.;Nonetheless,;You are responsible for all material covered in lecture!;The exams will be based on;the lecture material, reading assignments in the notes, and;the course assignments.;Grading;There will be one or two evening exams during the course of the semester,;a final exam and five programming assignments.;The exams will determine 50% of the final grade;(with approximately equal weight for each one), and the programming;assignments will count for 10% each.; Exams; Exam 1; Tuesday, October 22nd, 7:15pm-9:15pm, 1351 Chemistry.; Exam 2; TBA; Final Exam; Wednesday, December 18th, 5:05pm-7:05pm, place TBA; Course Schedule;The following is the list of topics that will be covered in this;course.

These;are in the machine rooms on the first floor of the;CS building. I encourage you to use these machines.;If you prefer to use a home computer, you may do so, with certain;restrictions: You must have a C++ compiler on your home machine;;you must log on to your university account often to read email;and get copies of data files; finally, we will require that;you turn in your C++ program electronically (via email) so if you;work at home you must make provisions to download your programs to;your university account and to make sure that they compile and run;with the g++ compiler on the SPARCstations.;I often use electronic mail to notify students of changes in;assignments, hints for programs, etc.;I assume that you will read all;electronic mail that I send.;Late Policy;No late assignment will be accepted.;Assignments must be turned in exactly when they are due.;In order to avoid lateness caused by machine loads, coincident due;dates for several classes, etc., simply be sure to get started right away on;each assignment.;Things are certain to go wrong now and then, so don't wait until the;last minute to start.;Any exceptions must be approved by me, and you will need a very good excuse.;If you get into trouble, see me as soon as possible.;Cheating;The Computer Science department takes a very hard line;stance on cheating.;You are welcome to;communicate with each other on design of algorithms and data;structures, but;there is to be no sharing of code.;You are also expected to learn, understand, and obey the;Computer Systems Lab Policies;governing your computer accounts.;Help;If you are having problems with the course work or programs,;please let me know as early in the semester as possible.;Office Hours Policies;If you need help debugging a program, the best way to get help is to;visit any one of the;CS 367 TA's;during his office hours, taking along a current;hard copy of your program.;My office hours are intended as a time for me to re-explain concepts;that I have presented in class but about which you are still confused,;or to answer your specific questions about course material.;I encourage you to use email as;a reliable way to contact me about any problems; I read and respond to email;several times daily, almost every day of the week.;Program Grading;Programs are graded on all of the following criteria.;Correctness: The program should behave correctly/normally on typical;input. The program should behave as stated in the project;specifications.;Clarity: The program should be easy to read and understand.;(See the notes on style below for more information;about clarity).;Robustness: Correct behavior in extreme or unusual situations.;The program should handle such situations in a reasonable and;logical manner (that is, it should not simply blow up).;Quality of test data: The test data for the program should;demonstrate all facets of the program's capabilities, including;unusual cases.;Efficiency: Avoid unnecessarily inefficient algorithms or constructs.;However, efficiency should never be pursued at the expense of clarity.;Modularity: The program should be modular and should make effective use;of parameters.;Completeness: You should incorporate all information into your;program; there should be no need for any sort of extra (paper);documentation.;Generality:;The program should be as general as possible, subject to consideration;of efficiency and clarity.;You should avoid arbitrary limitations (such as a bound on the size or;complexity of the input) whenever possible.;When limitations are necessary, they should be expressed as defined;constants near the top of the program so that they can be easily changed.;The only numeric literals that should appear in your program are those;values not very likely to change (such as 0, 1, or 3.1415926535).;Style;Use meaningful identifier names.;Use a consistent naming scheme for identifier names.;A suggested convention is as follows; int variable_name;; int function_name(int argument);; const int DEFINED_CONSTANT = 1234;; enum EnumType { VALUE1, VALUE2 };; class ClassName ...;Do not put multiple statements on a single line.;Skip lines between functional groups of code.;Use a clear and consistent indentation style (see the DeWitt notes;for a suggested style).;Indent continued statements (if, loops, ... etc).;Line up {'s and }'s.;Label }'s meaningfully (e.g. ``} // while (!done)'').;External Documentation;This should be included as a long comment at the beginning of your;program. It is addressed to both the typical user and to someone;who wants to know superficially how the program works:;Include your full name and student ID at the beginning of the comment.;Give a general description of what the program does.;Tell how to use the program: how to call it, format of data.;Give limitations, bugs, special features, and assumptions made.;Describe negative as well as positive aspects of the program.;If you don't include negatives we will assume you were unaware of them.;Information included in the assignment about the problem description;need not be repeated, but may be briefly summarized for the first point above.;A statement referring the user to the assignment document is then;sufficient. Note that this only applies to the problem description!;Internal Documentation;There are four main types of internal documentation:;Headers:;Comments at the headers of functions, classes, and major data structures;should describe their purpose, assumptions about their parameters,;and the main outline of any algorithms they use.;Declarations: Comments next to a declaration of a variable or data member;should provide extra information not conveyed by the identifier's;name.;The name of a variable should tell as much about it as is possible without;making it too long;;additional information can be supplied by a comment. For example; int top; // index of last element added to stack;You should use comments to explain parameters as well as local variables.;Within segments of code: Tricky or opaque sections of code should be;avoided, but sometimes they are necessary. In such cases, a comment;can help the reader understand what's going on.;Between segments of code: These comments clarify the top-level outline;of your algorithm.; Using Unix and Vi;Many people working with UNIX for the;first time will find that it takes some time to become;comfortable with it (this is particularly true if your;only previous programming experience is with Pascal using;MacPascal on a MacIntosh.)

Data structures are the fundamental building;blocks of computer programs. By the end of the course, you should be able to identify situations in which a data structure is necessary, determine the;requirements for the data structure, and select the appropriate data structure from those covered in this course.;Reiterate the concepts of structure programming, abstract data types, and modularity. These principles, which were introduced in CS302, are essential;to writing clear, correct, and maintainable software. As there is a close connection between abstract data types and data structures, this course places;a strong emphasis on applying these principles in all programming exercises.;Teaching Assistants;Wei Zhang and Chin Tang Chin are the teaching assistants (TAs) for;this course (sections 2 and 3). They will grade your homework assignments;and will be happy to answer questions about the;assignments, or any other aspect of the course that is giving you trouble.;Wei Zhang;Office: 1343 Compuer Sciences;Office hours: Wednesday 10-11, Thursday 9-10, Sunday 3-4;Office phone: 262-5596;Email address: weiz@cs.wisc.edu;Chin Tang Chin;Office: 3310 Computer Sciences;Office hours: Monday 9:30-10:30am, Tuesday 2:30-3:30pm, Friday 9:30-10:30am;Office phone: 262-1721;Email address:; cchin@cs.wisc.edu;Home page:; http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~cchin/cchin.html;Text;The text book for this course is Data Abstraction and Problem Solving with C++: Walls and Mirrors by Frank M. Carrano (ISBN # 0-8053-1226-9).;This is a well-written, if a little long-winded, text that covers most (but not all) of the material in this course. It also includes background about C++, so a;separate text for the language is not necessary.;The lectures will often (but not always) follow David Dewitt's CS 367 Lecture Notes - Fall 1995. These notes are far more complete that simple lecture;notes, but they fall short of a true text book (they contain very little narrative text, no exercises, etc.). I am using these notes as a basis for my lectures; as;such, I feel free to skip portions and cover additional material. You may want to purchase these notes, which are available from the DoIT documentation;desk at the Dayton Street entrance of the Computer Sciences building (1210 W. Dayton St).;If this course is your first experience with Unix, you will need information about activating your account, logging in, creating, editing, and manipulating files,;and compiling, running, and debugging programs. The handout CS 1000, also available from the DoIT information desk, contains this crucial information.;(Also, see also the help section below.);Lecture Information;Tuesday and Thursday: 11:00 - 12:30 in 107 Psychology.;As mentioned above, lectures will often follow DeWitt's notes. Lecture attendence is strongly recommended as I will regularly present material that does not;appear in the textbook or lecture notes, but will be useful for the programming assignments and exams. Needless to say, You are responsible for all;material covered in lecture! The exams will be based on the lecture material, reading assignments in the notes, and the course assignments.;Electronic Mail;I often use electronic mail to notify students of changes in assignments, hints for programs, etc. I assume that you regularly read your electronic mail.;Grading;There will be one or two evening exams during the semester, a final exam and five programming assignments. The exams will determine 50% of the final;grade (with approximately equal weight for each one), and the programming assignments will count for 10% each.;The C++ Language;CS 367 will be taught using the C++ programming language, and programming assignments must be written in C++. If you do not know C++, you should;not be in this section of CS367. Jim Skrentny is teaching two sections of CS367 that cover C++ in addition to data structures. C++ is a large and complex;language; unless you are an experience programming (and even then), it is a difficult language to learn from a book.;There is also another WWW page with more information on the programming assignments.;Gdb;There is also a web page that describes the gdb program debugger.;Exams;Exam 1;Tuesday, Oct 22, 7:15-9:15pm, 1351 Chemistry.;Exam 2;TBA;Final Exam;Wednesday, December 18th, 5:05pm-7:05pm, place TBA;Course Schedule;The following is a rough outline of topics that will be covered in this course.

This fall, CS838 is a graduate seminar that will examine Java, including the Java;programming language, network security, design of distributed applets, Java virtual machines, and Java implementations (compilers, interpreters, and special;hardware). Other Java-related topics are both welcome and encouraged.;This course will be taugh as a research seminar. First, the professors are not Java experts, but expect to learning along with the students. What you get out of;this course will be experience in studying and developing new ideas, interactioning with colleagues, and new insight into Java. We only plan to lecture for a;few weeks to present an overview of Java. Then students will work on two-month-long group projects. Students will be evaluated on the oral and written;presentation of their project. This offering of CS 838 is NOT a core CS course.;Background Material;There is no text for this course, although there are countless Java books in bookstores.

Wood,;Computer Architecture News (CAN), August 1993.; Research Summary;My main research goals lie in developing cost-effective computer;architectures that take advantage of rapidly changing technologies. My;research program has two major thrusts:; evaluating the performance,;feasibility, and correctness of new architectures, and; developing new tools and techniques to facilitate this evaluation.;Currently, this research focusses on the following three areas:; multi-paradigm multiprocessors,;which efficiently integrate shared-memory, message-passing, and hybrid;programming paradigms,; a virtual prototyping system, which exploits the similarites;of an existing parallel machine to simulate a hypothetical parallel machine,; and, techniques for understanding and tuning program performance.;Recent results include developing a new interface---called;Tempest---between user-level protocol handlers and system-supplied;mechanisms. Tempest provides the mechanisms that allow programmers,;compilers, and program libraries to implement and use message passing,;transparent shared memory, and hybrid combinations of the two. Tempest;mechanisms are low-overhead messages, bulk data transfer, virtual;memory management, and fine-grain access control. The most novel;mechanism---fine-grain access control---allows user software to tag;blocks (e.g., 32 bytes) as read-write, read-only, or invalid, so the;local memory can be used to transparently cache remote data.;We are exploring alternative ways to support this interface.;The first---called Typhoon---is;a proposed hardware;platform that implements the Tempest mechanisms with a fully-programmable,;user-level processor in the network interface. A reverse-translation;table (RTLB) invokes the network processor when it detects a fine-grain;access fault.;We have simulated Typhoon on the Wisconsin Wind Tunnel and found that;a transparent shared-memory protocol running on Typhoon performs;comparably +/- 30% to an;all-hardware Dir{N}NB cache-coherence protocol for five shared-memory;programs.;We have also developed a new memory system simulation method that;optimizes the common case---cache hits---significantly reducing;simulation time.;Fast-Cache tightly integrates reference generation and simulation by;providing the abstraction of tagged memory blocks: each reference;invokes a user-specified function depending upon the reference type and;memory block state. The simulator controls how references are processed;by manipulating memory block states, specifying a special NULL function;for no action cases. Fast-Cache implements this abstraction by using;binary-rewriting to perform a table lookup before each memory;reference. On a SPARCStation 10, Fast-Cache simulation times are two to;three times faster than a conventional trace-driven simulator that;calls a procedure on each memory reference; simulation times are only;three to six times slower than the original, un-instrumented program.;We are also investigating using Fast-Cache's binary rewriting techniques;to support the Tempest interface on existing hardware platforms.; Last Updated: July 11, 1996;" +Doug Burger's Home Page;Doug Burger's Home Page;Professional information:;Research summary;Resume/CV;Transcript;Course projects;Advisor;Affiliated projects:;Galileo/SCI;Wisconsin Wind Tunnel;Pages I maintain:;WWW computer architecture;UW computer architecture;SimpleScalar tool set;Generica;SACM;Personal stuff:;About me;Useful links;Photo gallery;Riding the DEMON;Hunting those damn cats;Beware of grad school; +"CS412 - Introduction to Numerical Methods;-------------------------------------> last change: 06nov96;;CS412 - Introduction to Numerical Methods;This page contains information for the Fall 1996 CS412 course.; smile; changes on 29oct:;assignment 5 , due 12nov96.;NOTE the CHANGED DUE DATE as well as the slightly changed points for problems;1 and 4.; diary of 29 oct class;;additional material on; residual and error, condition # (29oct); changes on 04nov: Rick Carl's office hour this R is 11-12.; list of errata for the text.; changes on 05nov:; diary of 31 oct class;; diary of 05 nov class;; changes on 06nov: useful email concerning; problem 3 (05nov) UPDATED 06nov.;Since there was a question about the computational complexity of numerical;analysis algorithms, I have posted a; preprint, by one of the foremost;mathematicians of today, on that subject, for those interested in this tricky;topic.;least-squares solution and approximation (05nov); Time and Place: TR 12:55 - 2:15, CS&STAT 1221; Lecturer: Carl de Boor.; email: deboor@cs.wisc.edu; Office hours: WF11-12, R14:30-15:30, 7379 CS&Stat; FINAL EXAM: Thursday 19dec, 2:45p.

The objective;of SHORE is to design, implement, and evaluate a persistent object;system that will serve the needs of a wide variety of target applications;including hardware and software CAD systems, persistent programming;languages, geographic information systems, satellite data repositories,;and multimedia applications. SHORE expands on the basic capabilities;of the widely-used Exodus Storage Manager (developed at Wisconsin,;funded by ARPA) in a number of ways including support for typed;objects, multiple programming languages, a `Unix-like' hierarchical;name space for named objects, and a Unix-compatible interface;to objects with a `text' field. This interface is intended to;ease the transition of applications from the Unix file system;environment to SHORE as existing Unix tools such as vi and cc;will be able to store their data in SHORE objects without modification;(basically a Unix file becomes either a single SHORE object or;the text field of a complex object). SHORE is being targeted at;a wide range of hardware environments, scaling all the way from;individual workstations to heterogeneous client/server networks;to large multiprocessors such as the Intel Paragon. SHORE is a;joint project with Profs. Carey, Naughton, and Solomon.;The Paradise project is attempting to apply the technology developed;as part of the SHORE and Gamma projects (Gamma is a parallel relational;database system developed at the University of Wisconsin) to the;task of storing and manipulating geographic data sets. Currently,;many geographic information systems (GIS) use relational database;systems to hold their data. While such systems are excellent for;managing business data they are a poor match for the modeling;needs of a GIS which must be capable of storing and manipulating;much more complex objects such as polygons and polylines. Instead,;Paradise employs an object-oriented data model, providing a much;better match to the type needs of a GIS. Another significant difference;from current GIS systems is that Paradise employs parallelism;to facilitate executing and processing large data sets such as;satellite images.

The input is a set of images or video;streams, acquired from fixed or mobile cameras around a site,;and the output is a panoramic visualization of the scene in which;a virtual, user-controlled camera can be moved through the environment.;With this technology a user could interactively navigate through;a real environment, controlling a customized path of views of the;site that are not predetermined by the input images. The main research;question is how to adaptively combine a set of basis images to synthesize;new views of the scene without 3D models or 3D scene reconstruction;as an intermediate step. Recently we have developed an innovative;technique, which we call;view morphing,;that takes two basis;images and interpolates a continuous range of in-between images;corresponding to views on the linear path connecting the two camera centers.; Visual Exploration;Computer vision researchers have recently started to investigate how;to actively control the image acquisition process by controlling;camera parameters. We have been studying how to purposefully control the;position and orientation of a camera in order to dynamically adjust;viewpoint based on the appearance of a three-dimensional scene. The;use of real-time viewpoint-control behaviors is important for;solving tasks such as exploring an unknown object in order to find;specific surface markings, building a global model of an unknown;shape, or recognizing an object.;By coordinating simple observer behaviors that change the appearance;of surfaces in a well-defined way, we simplify the image computations;required, make precise the global progress of an algorithm, and;eliminate the need for accurate differential measurements of the;camera motion. We believe that this active approach of moving towards;viewpoints that are closely related to the geometry of the viewed;objects is a very important and general one. We have used this;approach to develop provably-correct algorithms for (1) moving to a;side view of a surface of revolution in order to recover its shape, and;(2) reconstructing the global surface of an unknown smooth,;arbitrarily-shaped object.; Visualization;In the area of visualization we have developed mapping techniques;capable of generating displays of all possible data objects defined in;a user's algorithm, without the need for user-defined, type-specific;graphics display procedures. This capability for displaying;arbitrary combinations of an algorithm's data objects in a common;frame of reference, coupled with interactive control of algorithm;execution, provides a powerful way to understand algorithm behavior,;especially interactive visual experiments with scientific data;analysis algorithms. We have implemented a system called VIS-AD for;experimenting with these techniques and have used it for visualizing;intermediate and final results of data analysis algorithms for;problems such as discriminating clouds in satellite images.;Recent Publications; S.

To me, the essence of intelligence;is the ability to learn and adapt, to learn to act;appropriately in order to reach our goals.;Reinforcement learning treats this problem in the general case where;the system has outputs to control actions that can change its environment,;and it has inputs through which it senses its environment. It also has an input;for reinforcement, which is a weak kind of feedback which can be expressed as;a positive or negative number. So, instead of having a teacher to present the;system with input/output pairs, the system instead receives ""thumbs up"" or;""thumbs down"" at irregular intervals.;My work has focussed on how the need to;distinguish good actions from bad ones can direct the process of building a;good representation of the environment in terms of relevant, or;important features. (See my note on;importance-based;feature extraction). Currently I am applying this notion of;importance to the problem of learning to balance the need to;explore the world with the need to perform optimally (exploration vs. exploitation).;I am also investigating ways of using importance to make the learning;process more efficient by allowing the system to specify the starting points for;its learning experiments;(active learning). My goal is to develop a better understanding of intelligent;adaptation. I hope that this will provide a basis for intelligent action which;will also benefit from knowledge-based and task-based work.

The; problem was that the enumerated types were not recognized outside of; the class. They must be declared inside the public section of the class.; As a result, the private section at the top needed to bumped down to the; private section at the bottom. This is shown in the new version.; Also note the definition of the RandomIntInRange() is; defined in-line so that you will not need a corresponding; function body in tribble.cpp. You can just call it from within the; class, and it will work.; In the file ""prog06.cpp"" I forgot to change the enumerated; type values to uppercase. You need to do this before you; compile everything. I have changed the; on-line copy of prog06.cpp if you just want to overwrite your; obsolete copy. Also, it used to say ""#include prog05.h"", so I changed; it to ""prog06.h""; You might also want to check the help link below again... something; was added.; Here are some Comments and; Suggestions for Program 6.; It is very important that you use the same name throughout; program 6 for the project parts (name of the project,; directory name, file names, etc.). I updated the program; description to be consistent with ""prog06."" If you saw; the old version (that used ""prog05""), please make sure; you are consistent with your naming. The only discrepency; is with the sample run in Chris Weaver's public directory; where it is called prog05, but this shouldn't matter for; your program (it is just a sample).; Program 6 is on-line and ready. It is crucial that you read; the entire assignment and understand class basics before you; attempt it, and that you get an early start. It is not; hard, but will require some time to piece everything; together. Bring questions to class on Tuesday!; About midterm grades for freshmen... you either got a B (which; means your doing fine), or a D (which means you're not doing so; great).

Memory system design is important,;because it largely determines a computer's sustained performance. My;work emphasizes quantitative analysis (often requiring new evaluation;techniques) of system-level (not just hardware) performance.;Much of my recent work is part of the Wisconsin Wind;Tunnel Projectwith Profs. Larus and Wood and many;students. The project expects most future massively-parallel computers;will be built from workstation-like nodes and programmed in high-level;parallel languages--like HPF--that support a shared address space in;which processes uniformly reference data. Our research seeks to;develop a consensus about the middle-level interface--below languages;and compilers and above system software and hardware. We have recently;proposed the Tempest interface that enables programmers,;compilers, and program libraries to implement and use message passing,;transparent shared memory, and hybrid combinations of the two. We are;developing Tempest implementations on a Thinking Machines CM-5, a;cluster of workstations (COW), and hypothetical hardware platforms.;The Wisconsin Wind Tunnel project is so named because we use our tools;to cull the design space of parallel supercomputers in a manner similar;to how aeronautical engineers use conventional wind tunnels to design;airplanes.;Other recent work with Madhu Talluri;targets improving translation lookaside buffer (TLB);and page table performance by clustering aligned groups of base pages.;Options require changes to hardware only (complete-subblocked TLBs),;operating system only (clustered page tables), or both (superpages;and partial-subblocked TLBs).;See our;ASPLOS;and;SOSP;papers.;A Sampler of Recent Papers;The Wisconsin Wind Tunnel Project: An Annotated Bibliography,;Mark D.

This work is the result of a collaboration at the;University of Wisconsin-Madison between;Prof. Olvi L. Mangasarian;of the Computer Sciences Department and;Dr. William H. Wolberg;of the departments of Surgery and Human Oncology.;Here is a copy of the;press release;distributed at the American Cancer Society Science Writers seminar in;March of 1994. It provides a good overview of this research.;Table of Contents; Diagnosis; Prognosis; Bibliography; Citation in the Popular Press; Local Related Links; Other Related Links;Diagnosis;This work grew out of the desire by Dr. Wolberg to accurately diagnose;breast masses based solely on a Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA). He;identified nine visually assessed characteristics of an FNA sample which;he considered;relevant to diagnosis. In collaboration with Prof. Mangasarian and;two of his graduate students, Rudy Setiono and;Kristin Bennett, a;classifier was constructed using the multisurface method (MSM) of pattern;separation on these nine features that;successfully diagnosed 97% of new cases. The resulting data set is;well-known as the;Wisconsin Breast Cancer Data.;The image analysis work began in 1990 with the addition of;Nick Street;to the research team. The goal was to diagnose the sample based on a;digital image of a small section of the FNA slide. The results of;this research have been consolidated into a software system known as;Xcyt, which is currently used by Dr. Wolberg in his clinical;practice. The diagnosis process is now performed as follows:; An FNA is taken from the breast mass. This material is then;mounted on a microscope slide and stained to highlight the cellular;nuclei. A portion of the slide in which the cells are;well-differentiated is then scanned using a digital camera and a;frame-grabber board.; The user then isolates the individual nuclei using Xcyt.;Using a mouse pointer, the user draws the approximate boundary of;each nucleus. Using a computer vision approach known as ""snakes"",;these approximations then converge to the exact nuclear boundaries.;This interactive process takes between two and five minutes per slide.;Here is an image showing;Xcyt in use.; Once all (or most) of the nuclei have been isolated in this;fasion, the program computes values for each of ten characteristics of;each nuclei, measuring size, shape and texture. The mean, standard;error and extreme values of these features are computed, resulting in;a total of 30 nuclear features for each sample.; Based on a training set of 569 cases, a linear classifier was;constructed to differentiate benign from malignant samples. This;classifier consists of a single separating plane in the space of three;of the features: Extreme Value of Area, Extreme Value of Smoothness,;and Mean Value of Texture. By projecting all the cases onto the;normal of this separating plane, approximate;probability densities of;the benign and;malignant points were constructed. These allow a simple Bayesian;computation of probability of malignancy for new patients. These;densities are shown to the patient, allowing her to judge the;""confidence"" of her diagnosis by comparison to hundreds of previous samples.;To date, this system has correctly diagnosed 176 consecutive new;patients (119 benign, 57 malignant). In only eight of those cases did;Xcyt return a ""suspicious"" diagnosis (that is, an estimated;probability of malignancy between 0.3 and 0.7).;A small subset of the source images used in this research can be found; here. These are very good;test cases for;image segmentation or object recognition algorithms. If your pet;segmentation algorithm can automatically identify all of the nuclei in;these images, please email me (street@cs.wisc.edu) and let's work together.;Prognosis;The second problem considered in this research is that of prognosis,;the prediction of the long-term behavior of the disease. We have;approached prognosis as a function-approximation problem, using input;features -- including those computed by Xcyt;-- to predict a;time of recurrence in malignant patients, using right-censored data.;Our solution is termed;the Recurrence Surface Approximation method (RSA), and utilizes a linear;program to construct a surface which predicts time of recurrence for;new patients. By examining the actual recurrence of those training cases;with similar predicted recurrence times, we can plot the probability of;disease-free survival for various times (out to 10 years) for an;individual patient. This capability has been incorporated into;Xcyt and an example is shown;here.;These survival curves plot the probability of disease-free survival versus;time (in years).;The black disease-free survival curve represents all patients in our;original study; the red curve represents the probability of;disease-free survival for the sample case. This particular case therefore;has an above-average prognosis, with a probability of being disease-free;after 10 years equal to about 80%.;The RSA procedure can also be used to compare the predictive power of;various prognostic factors. Our results indicate that precise,;detailed cytological information of the type provided by Xcyt;gives better prognostic accuracy than the traditional factors Tumor;Size and Lymph Node Status. If corroborated by other researchers,;this result could remove the need for the often painful axillary lymph;node surgery.;Chronological Bibliography;Linked papers are provided in postscript format; if you don't have a;postscript viewer, you can download the file (e.g., shift-click in Netscape);and print it.

These formulations however could fail;on sets that were not separable by a surface linear in its parameters.;A Multisurface Method (MSM) [68,93];avoided this difficulty. MSM separates 2 disjoint finite point sets in;n-dimensional Euclidean space as follows:; Choose 2 parallel planes in n-dimensional Euclidean space; as close together so that only the region between the two planes; contains points from both sets (i.e. the regions NOT between the; 2 parallel planes contain only points of 1 set or no points).; Discard the points in the regions not between the 2 parallel planes.; Repeat the process on the points between the 2 parallel planes, until; the region between the 2 parallel planes contains no points or very; few points.;;Multisurface Method Tree (MSM-T),;a variant on the Multisurface Method was developed in;[92a], [92b], [93].;Let A and B be finite disjoint point sets in n-dimensional Euclidean;space.;The goal of MSM-T is to;determine a sequence of planes in n-dimensional Euclidean;space that separate the sets A and B as follows:; Determine a plane in n-dimensional Euclidean space that; minimizes the average ""distances"" of misclassified points. A point from; set A is misclassified if it lies on the side of the separating; plane assigned to B.; Similarly, a point from set B is misclassified if it lies; on the side of the separating plane assigned to A.; If the regions assigned to A and B contain only (or; mostly) points of the set A or B, then stop.; Otherwise, generate another; error-minimizing plane (in 1.) in this region.;The sequence of planes generated can be viewed as a decision tree. For each;node in the tree, the best split of the points reaching that node is found;by solving the LP in 1, above. The node is split into 2 branches, and the;same procedure is applied until there are only (or mostly) points of one;set at the node. This linear programming approach can also be viewed as;training a neural network with 1 hidden layer;(see [93]).;MSM-T has been shown to learn concepts as well or better than more traditional;learning methods such as C4.5 and CART. It also has an advantage over;artificial neural network (ANN) methods such as backpropagation in;that training proceeds much faster (see [92a]).;Implementations of MSM-T;;MSM-T has been implemented in C using the MINOS numerical;optimization package by Nick Street and Kristin Bennett. MSM-T has also been implemented;for the MATLAB;optimization package by Paul Bradley. Following is a description of the MATLAB implementation of MSM-T.

The domains of these;applications include financial management, historical analysis,;economic and social sciences, metereology, medical sciences and;biological sciences. Existing relational databases are inadequate in;this regard; data collections are treated as sets, not sequences.;Consequently, expressing sequence queries is tedious, and evaluating;them is inefficient.;Databases should;model the data using the abstraction of sequences ,;allow data sequences to be queried in a declarative manner ,;utilizing the ordered semantics;take advantage of the unique opportunities available for query;optimization and evaluation;integrate sequence data with relational data, so that users can;store and query a combination of relation and sequences;These requirements serve as the goals of the SEQ project.;Various kinds of sequences need to be supported, temporal sequences being the;most important kind. Queries should be expressible using notions like;""next"" and ""previous"" which are natural when considering sequences.;These queries should be optimized so that they can be evaluated efficiently.;These issues need to be studied in theory, and then a database system needs;to be built that demonstrates the feasibility of the theoretical ideas.;Project Status;The current status of the project is:;We have defined the SEQ data model that can support;most important kinds of sequence data. We have also defined algebraic;query operators that can be composed to form sequence queries (analogous;to the composition of relational algebra operators to form relation queries).;We have described how sequence queries can be efficiently processed,;and have identified various optimization techniques.;We use a sequence query language Sequin that can;declaratively express queries over sequences. A Sequin;query can include embedded expressions in a relational query language like;SQL, or vice-versa.;We are building a disk-based database system to demonstrate the;feasibility of our proposals. The system implements the SEQ;model using a nested complex object architecture. It is built over the;SHORE storage manager and can process several megabytes of data.;Relations and sequences are supported in an integrated and extensible;manner.;Motivating Example of a Sequence Query;A weather monitoring system records information about various meteorological;phenomena. There is a sequentiality in the occurrence of these phenomena; the;various meteorological events are sequenced by the time at which they are;recorded. A scientist asks the query:; ""For which volcano eruptions did;the most recent earthquake have a strength greater than 7.0 on the Richter;scale?"".;If this query is to be expressed in a relational query language like SQL,;complex features like groupby clauses, correlated subqueries and aggregate;functions are required. Further, a conventional relational query optimizer;would not find an efficient query execution plan, even given the knowledge;that the Earthquakes and Volcano relations are sorted by time.;However a very efficient plan exists, if one models the data as sequences;ordered by time. The two sequences can be scanned in lock step;(similar to a sort merge join). The most recent earthquake record scanned;can be stored in a temporary buffer. Whenever a volcano record is;processed, the value of the most recent earthquake record stored in the;buffer is checked to see if its strength was greater than 7.0, possibly;generating an answer. This query can therefore be processed with a single;scan of the two sequences, and using very little memory. The key to such;optimization is the sequentiality of the data and the query.;Data Model;The details of the SEQ data model are;described in a published paper (click here;for postscript version). Here we present the gist of it.;The basic model of a sequence is a set of records mapped to an ordered;domain of ``positions''.;This many-to-many relationship between records and;positions can be viewed in two dual but distinct ways: as a set of records;mapped to each position, or as a set of positions mapped to each record.;These two views are called ``Positional'' and ``Record-Oriented'' respectively,;and each gives rise to a set of query operators based on that view.;Queries on sequences could require operators of either or both flavors.;The Record-Oriented operators are similar to relational;operators and include various kinds of joins (overlap, containment, etc) and;aggregates. Such operators have been extensively explored by researchers;in the temporal database community.;The Positional operators include Next, Previous, Offset, Moving;Aggregates, etc. Further operators allow ``zooming'' operations on;sequences by means of collapsing and expanding the ordering domains;associated with the sequence. For instance, a daily sequence could be;``zoomed out'' (i.e.collapsed) to a weekly sequence, or ``zoomed in'';(i.e. expanded) to an hourly sequence.;The last part of the model deals with operations on groups (i.e. sets) of;sequences. The advantage is that this makes it easy to model queries;involving sequence collections (which is the case in many real-world;situations). All the sequence operators are extended to work with groups;of similar sequences, instead of with single sequences. This extension;of the SEQ model indicates that a practical implementation of;SEQ would probably involve a nested complex object system.; Sequin Query Language;We have devised a query language called Sequin using;which declarative sequence queries can be specified. The language;is similar in flavor to SQL, except that the inputs to queries;as well as the results of queries are sequences. Click; here for a description of the Sequin;language with examples.;Optimization Techniques;We have proposed new optimization techniques for sequence queries;involving Positional operators. There are existing techniques that;have been proposed for queries with Record-Oriented operators.;Our optimizations use query transformations, meta--data, and caching of;intermediate results to efficiently evaluate a query. An optimal query;evaluation plan can be generated using an algorithm that relies on cost;estimates. One of the important observations is that accessing sequence data;in a single stream is probably very efficient, and evaluation strategies;should take this into account.;The details of the optimization techniques are;described in a published paper (click here;for postscript version).;System Development;The SEQ database system has a client-server;architecture, supporting multiple clients via;a multi-threaded server. The server is built on;top of the SHORE;storage manager. Both Sequin;and a subset of SQL are supported as query languages;which can be embedded inside each other. The data model;is a nested complex object model that allows arbitrary;levels of nesting of relations inside sequences and vice;versa. The system is also extensible, providing support;for new data types, new ordering domains, user-defined functions,;new storage implementations and new query languages.

The objective is to create;tools that provide powerful language-specific program-manipulation;operations. In particular, my work has explored how program slicing;can serve as the basis for such program-manipulation operations.;The slice of a program with respect to a set of program elements;S is;a projection of the program that includes only program elements that;might affect (either directly or transitively) the values of the;variables used at members of S. Slicing allows one to find;semantically meaningful decompositions of programs, where the;decompositions consist of elements that are not textually contiguous.;Program slicing is a fundamental operation that can aid in solving;many software-engineering problems. For instance, it has applications;in program understanding, maintenance, debugging, testing,;differencing, specialization, reuse, and merging.;The projects that my co-workers and I are carrying out are aimed at;improving the underlying technology for program slicing (and related;operations),;implementing program slicers,;developing methods for using slicing in software-engineering tools, and;building slicing-based program-manipulation tools.;(Click;here;for the home page of the Wisconsin Program Slicing Project.);Recently, we established some unexpected connections between;interprocedural dataflow analysis and our previous work on;interprocedural program slicing.;In particular, we showed that a large class of interprocedural;dataflow-analysis problems can be solved by transforming;them into a special kind of graph-reachability problem.;This graph-reachability problem can be solved precisely in polynomial time;by the algorithm originally developed for interprocedural slicing.;I am also interested in the subject of incremental algorithms.;By an incremental algorithm,;I mean an algorithm that makes use of the solution to one problem;instance to find the solution to a ``nearby'' problem instance.;Categorized Index to Publications;Program Slicing, Differencing, Merging, etc.;Overview;[icse92];Slicing;[dagstuhl96];[fse94];[slicing_patent];David Binkley's Thesis;[acta91];[toplas90] (also [pldi88]);Chopping;[fse95b];Differencing;[differencing91];Wuu Yang's Thesis;Merging;[tosem95];[tosem92] (also [sigsoft90]);David Binkley's Thesis;Wuu Yang's Thesis;[iwscm89];[toplas89] (also [popl88a], [esop88], and [iwsvcc88]);Algebra of slices (and applications to program merging);[scp91] (also [esop90]);[ccpsd91];[amast91];[npfo_submission];Semantics and slicing;[tr900];[ccipl89];[tr890];[popl88b];Other applications of slicing;[dagstuhl96];[pepm95a];Implemented slicing system;[prog_integration_system];[prog_integration_manual];[tr819];Note: the system described in these papers handles a small subset;of Pascal.;The system is distributed under license, which you may obtain by clicking;here.;We are currently retargeting the implementation to handle C programs, and;expect to distribute a system that supports slicing, chopping, and;differencing (but probably not integration) of C programs in 1996.;Miscellaneous;[tr947];Ph.D. Theses;David Binkley's Thesis;Wuu Yang's Thesis;Phil Pfeiffer's Thesis;Interprocedural Dataflow Analysis;Demand IDFA via bottom-up logic programming and the magic-sets transformation;[ald94] (also [cc94]);Exhaustive and Demand IDFA via graph reachability;[tr1283] (also [fse95a]);[popl95];[diku94];IDFA using more than graph reachability;[tcs_ide_paper] (also [fase95]);PTIME completeness of IDFA;[acta_paper];Alias Analysis, Pointer Analysis, and Shape Analysis;[rsw96];[dagstuhl96];[tr1323] (also [popl96] and [tr1276]);[pepm95b];[pfeiffer_thesis];[sigplan89];Language-Based Program-Development Environments; [fse96]; [dagstuhl92]; Synthesizer Generator Book; Synthesizer Generator Manual; [computer87] (also [lape92]); [popl86]; T.

Scout;Services is a project of the InterNIC;and is supported by the National Science;Foundation. Net Scout Services supports Internet users in the;higher-education community by providing timely information about the best;resources and tools on the Internet. Our goal is to help researchers and;educators use the Internet effectively in their work. Each week we filter;hundreds of items about the Internet, edit and organize the most;important, and present the information in multiple usable formats.; Services include the Scout Report, the Scout Toolkit, Net-happenings, and coming soon;the Scout Sprouts Report, a newsletter written by kids for kids.;Over 35,000 people receive the Scout Report each week via email, and;thousands more read it on the Web. The Scout Report is an annotated;listing of the best new and newly discovered Internet resources and tools,;and it is the only publication of its kind devoted to the research and;education community. The Scout Report is very selective in the items;included in each issue. Over 10,000 people receive Net-happenings;postings every weekday, and again, thousands more read it via the Web or;the newsgroup each day. See the Net Scout Services page for more;information on these and other services.; Professional Background; I have been involved in nation-wide Internet projects since 1989 when;I joined Merit, Inc., in Ann Arbor, the organization that managed the;NSFNET backbone project from 1987-1995. I worked in the Information;Services division of the project, and spent three years speaking to;national and international higher-education audiences about the Internet;and its resources. I also developed and produced the Merit Network Seminar;Series, the first national seminar series focused on the needs of Internet;end-users.; Later I became the Director of Network Information Services for;CERFnet, a respected Internet provider based in San Diego. While there I;co-wrote the proposal which resulted in the award of part of the InterNIC;project under a 5 year cooperative agreement with the National Science;Foundation (NSF). In the third year of the agreement, NSF terminated the;portion of the InterNIC based in San Diego, but chose to continue the work;of the Internet Scout. At that time I elected to relocate to Wisconsin and;requested that NSF approve the relocation of the Scout project to the;Computer Sciences department at UW - Madison, to which they heartily;agreed.; Future Plans for Scout Services;At this time the Scout Services staff includes Jack Solock, Special;Librarian, and myself. During May the project will expand with the;addition of 2 FTE, including an open System;Administrator position and an open Special;Librarian position. On June 6 Matthew Livesey will join the staff as a;Project Assistant. Goals for the new staff will include expansion of the;Scout Toolkit and the addition of discipline-specific services, such as;Scout Reports and Web pages devoted to specific areas of study.;During 1996 Scout Services will also branch into one or more research;areas in collaboration with InterNIC Support Services and with groups at;UW-Madison and other U.S. campuses. Potential research topics include;network information discovery and retrieval (NIDR), and;discipline-oriented information gathering and publication. Depending on;the nature of the research, additional staff will be hired and will;include;computer science researchers at the graduate and undergraduate levels.; For More Information; Visit our Web site to find out more about Scout Services or to join any of;our mailing lists.

Once learned, these motions can be;invoked directly via high-level cues (e.g. ""smile"", ""walk""), inferred via an;abstract goal (e.g. ""go to the store""), or cued off of low-level;events from a virtual input device or an image sequence.;Other projects include the analysis of; periodic motion;and tracking of rigid and nonrigid objects.;" +"Steve Seitz's View Interpolations; View Synthesis by Image Interpolation;Investigators:;Steve Seitz,; Chuck Dyer;We have devised a provably-correct automated technique for creating new;views of a scene from two basis views of the same scene. The technique;relies on geometric image interpolation, known as ""morphing"" in the graphics;community, to produce intermediate images. Although morphing techniques;currently enjoy widespread use, their theoretical validity;has not been established. In particular, does 2D interpolation of two views;of the same scene produce a sequence of physically valid in-between views of;that scene?;Surprisingly, the answer is yes, providing the images first undergo a simple;rectification procedure and certain assumptions about visibility and the;projection process are satisfied.;The view synthesis work described here uses automated stereo techniques to;determine image correspondences. Our more recent work on; View Morphing;considers how user-interaction may be used to guide the interpolation.;Below are computed interpolations for three different image pairs.

We have;developed an approach for determining if an image sequence could have been;produced by an object whose motion is periodic in some reference frame.;Unlike all previous attempts to determine periodicity information, our;approach allows the camera to move during filming. For more information;(1.3M poscript paper), click;here.;;Period Trace;This image shows the period trace (red lines) recovered from an image;sequence of a phonograph turntable. Ramps correspond to moments in time;where the turntable was momentarily slowed. The period trace is shown;superimposed on the error surface from which it was recovered.;Real repeating motions tend not to be perfectly even, i.e., the period varies;slightly from one cycle to the next, because of physically important changes;in the scene. A generalization of period is defined for cyclic motions;that makes periodic variation explicit. This representation, called the; period trace, is compact and purely temporal, describing the evolution;of an object or scene without reference to spatial quantities such as;position or velocity. By delimiting cycles and identifying correspondences;across cycles, the period trace provides a means of temporally parsing;a cyclic motion. In addition, several purely temporal motion features can;be derived, relating to the nature and location of irregularities.;The period trace;can also be used for medical image enhancement by compositing images from;different cycles. Furthermore, the period trace can be reliably recovered;from image sequences in a view-invariant fashion using a theory of;affine invariance.

A major focus is improving the dialog between human;teachers and machine learners. Traditionally, this interaction is limited to;the teacher providing labelled training examples to the machine. Toward the;goal of widening the ``communication pipeline'' between human and machine, we;have been developing a language for providing, in a natural manner and at any;time, general-purpose advice to a machine learner. In our approach, the human;advice-giver observes the behavior of the learner and occasionally makes;suggestions, expressed in a simple language. Based on techniques developed in;our work on knowledge-based neural networks, these instructions are inserted;directly into learner. Subsequent connectionist (neural network) learning;further integrates and refines the advice.;Currently, we are extending the language used to advise our learning algorithms,;studying new ways of incorporating this advice into neural networks,;investigating the extraction of human-comprehensible rules from trained neural networks,;and developing methods for choosing good representations for training examples.;We are also developing parallel algorithms,;on the department's Condor system and our CM-5 computer,;for machine learning and computational biology.;Shavlik (1992);and (1996);provide an overview of our approach to knowledge-based neural networks.;Recent developments appear in the papers referenced on this page, as well;as in the ""home pages"" of the students listed below.; PhD Students;; Carolyn Allex;; Kevin Cherkauer;; Mark Craven (graduated September 1996);; Tina Eliassi-Rad; Eric Gutstein (graduated June 1993);; Richard Maclin (graduated August 1995);; David Opitz (graduated August 1995);; Geoffrey Towell (graduated October 1991);; Selected Recent Publications;Click;here to see our recent titles and abstracts;(you can also grab all our abstracts in one;file;or directly access;our ftp directory of postscript versions of recent papers.; Maclin, R. & Shavlik, J.

No prior computer programming experience is required and only a basic knowledge of computers is assumed. The material covered will enable you to write simple computer programs to solve engineering problems in elementary courses. All programming is done in FORTRAN. This course is intended for students who received little or no programming instruction in high school.;This section is taught entirely in the FORTRAN programming language and is intended primarily for engineering students and non-computer science majors.

This course is Credit/No Credit only. There are no tests or exams.; 100% - Assignments (4 @ 24% each + 1 for 4%); Syllabus (tentative);The following topics and sections of the text will be approximately covered each week during the semester. You will only get the most out of this class if you read the relevant sections of the text before coming to class. This way you will be able to ask questions in class about anything that you are unsure of, instead of waiting until you're in the lab trying to work on an assignment to discover you didn't really understand something.;Weeks 1-8; Text and Lecture Notes;Text:;Fortran with Engineering Applications, 5th. edition, by E. Koffman and F. Friedman, 1993.;Lecture Notes:;Copies of the lecture notes will be available on-line at the end of each week of class. Important - the on-line lecture notes are not a substitute for coming to class. They do not include any examples or additional notes that I put on the board (except for Week1). You are responsible for all the material covered in class.;Week1;Week2; Programming Assignments;There are four programming assignments each contributing 25% to your final grade. You must attempt to complete every programming assignment. If you hand in a program that does not run or will not even compile without errors then it will get a very low mark (check the gradesheets) and you risk failing the course.;Gradesheets;What to do in DOS/Fortran (and how to hand in assignments online); Late Policy;Policy on Academic Misconduct (i.e. cheating);Assignment Specifications:;Program0, due Friday 11/1/96, 5:00pm; Program1, due Wednesday 11/13/96, 5:00pm;How to Get Help with Your Assignments:;Consultants:; The consultants in the computer lab can help you with most problems. They wear name tags and are on duty from approximately 8:00 am to 11:00 pm. Consultants can answer short questions about compiler error messages and program syntax, as well as how to login, use the printers, send E-mail, run Netscape, etc.;Click here for more information about the consultants.;;Instructor:; General questions about an assignment or questions that may require a long explanation are best answered by myself. Please see me during office hours or send me E-mail. I am not normally in my office except during office hours because I do my research from home via a modem. Therefore, if you want to see me outside of office hours please make an appointment first. You can most easily contact me by E-mail because I regularly login and read my E-mail from home. If you mail from Netscape, make sure to include your name and e-mail address, as they don't show up for me, so I won't know who mailed me and be able to respond otherwise.;Click here to send me E-mail.;; Problem Solving Exercises;One of the most important skills you will learn in this class is problem solving. Good problem solving skills distinguish a ""good"" computer programmer from a ""bad"" one - it doesn't matter how familiar or skilled you are in a particular programming language, if you do not understand how to solve the problem then you will not be able to write a computer program for it in any language.;To help you learn problem solving skills and techniques I will assign weekly problem solving exercises. These will be small but non-trivial problems which I will give out each Monday. You should look at the problem and think about it during the week and right down the steps you would go through to solve the problem; i.e. the overall structure of your program. This is primarily an exercise in general problem solving so you do not have to write any FORTRAN code (though you may if you want to and have time) and your solution/algorithm should not even be dependent on a particular programming language such as FORTRAN. We will go over the solution in class the following Monday.;Exercises:; Computer Lab;You will be using the Vectra lab in Rm. 1350 Computer Science & Statistics containing Hewlett-Packard Vectra's running Microsoft Windows and Microsoft FORTRAN. This lab is open from 7:00 am to 1:00 am seven days a week except certain holidays. The printer room is located across the hall in Rm. 1359. You have a quota of 300 pages on which; to print. Once you exceed that quota you must contact the lab either by e-mail or by going to room 2310 during office hours (they prefer e-mail) to pay to increase your quota.;Beware: Some of the machines in the Vectra lab aren't configured correctly. In particular, the machines along the wall closest to the outside;hallway, towards the left-hand part of the room. Try to avoid those if you can.;You may also use your home or dorm computers to write your programs, however you will probably have to purchase your own copy of Microsoft FORTRAN or Lahey Personal FORTRAN (see the inside cover of the textbook). You may also work in any of the other computer labs on campus, however most do not have FORTRAN compilers (please see me first before using the CAE lab).;The software you will be using in the lab includes:;Microsoft Windows and MS-DOS;E-mail;Netscape; Other Pointers of Interest; CS 110 Home Page; Jeff Lampert's Home Page; Computer Sciences Department Home Page; Starting Points for Internet Exploration; Lycos (search the World-Wide-Web by keyword);; Dilbert (comic relief for those long nights before an assignment is due);Copyright © 1996 Modified from Gareth S.

Current research efforts focus on eliminating;ambiguity in communicating engineering specifications, formal modeling of;parametric families of mechanical parts, and investigating novel methods;and computational techniques in support of design and manufacturing.;Mechanical Design:;Today mechanical forms, functions, and fabrication processes cannot be;described combinatorially, in terms of discrete, simple, and interacting;primitives; this apparent lack of combinatorial structure is a;major roadblock for competitive design and manufacturing of mechanical systems.;In collaboration with industry, the present research deals with;theoretical, practical, and computational aspects of mechanical design;and seeks to establish a formal basis for making mechanical design and;manufacturing of parts more systematic and competitive, and for smooth;integration of mechanical form modeling with other engineering activities.;Physical Modeling:;Geometric models contain only part of the information needed to capture the;desired physical behavior of an artifact, and the processes used to;manufacture it. Recent study of algebraic topological models (so called;""chain models"") of physical behavior suggests that it may be possible to;unify physical and geometric modeling and thus facilitate development of;new computer-aided engineering tools. Current investigations use these;and other models of physical behavior to develop new engineering languages;and computer algorithms for systematic specification, modeling,;simulation, and analysis of physical;objects and systems.;[ UW | COE | Depts | Centers | Consortia | Services | Fountain ];[ Index | Search | Mail | What's New | Credits | Help ];Last Modified: Thursday, 18-Jul-96 10:39:07 CDT;This page is best viewed by browsers that support TABLES.;All photographs © 1996 College of Engineering.;Address comments to webmaster@engr.wisc.edu;Update Profile;" diff --git a/wisconsin/categories.csv b/wisconsin/categories.csv new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..abb10968bc06d59e597a986c8d73509550d5555e --- /dev/null +++ b/wisconsin/categories.csv @@ -0,0 +1,6 @@ +name +project +faculty +course +student +staff diff --git a/wisconsin/llmgpt_text-embedding-3-large_x.pt b/wisconsin/llmgpt_text-embedding-3-large_x.pt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..0fd9568fd7f7b9acaf5afe14b6ff541166d8de26 --- /dev/null +++ b/wisconsin/llmgpt_text-embedding-3-large_x.pt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +version https://git-lfs.github.com/spec/v1 +oid sha256:10fb67ab112f78831c2628b6eac155c947372b8cafd12c5db987e537df8c39dd +size 3257684 diff --git a/wisconsin/llmicl_class_aware_x.pt b/wisconsin/llmicl_class_aware_x.pt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..eb30bcac78007a6d2ac4b47e7a9432356e8ab24d --- /dev/null +++ b/wisconsin/llmicl_class_aware_x.pt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +version https://git-lfs.github.com/spec/v1 +oid sha256:eb3f2d2526d4b8f80810ee170b39b163e7a67aaae6c61282a2dd10d19a3d376b +size 4343005 diff --git a/wisconsin/llmicl_primary_x.pt b/wisconsin/llmicl_primary_x.pt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..fd65a12d2323d426fb98121ad4fb42c33d2bd453 --- /dev/null +++ b/wisconsin/llmicl_primary_x.pt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +version https://git-lfs.github.com/spec/v1 +oid sha256:85027bb10f803bdefd4ca4a92a714d269beb1f518c487580543f6ee342748ff5 +size 4342985 diff --git a/wisconsin/roberta_x.pt b/wisconsin/roberta_x.pt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..a9a03b4a51779217c7d079db0f0a9a428a78c7e7 --- /dev/null +++ b/wisconsin/roberta_x.pt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +version https://git-lfs.github.com/spec/v1 +oid sha256:1b40c520e72a2032e756146291c98ac809573b5f84d8368050dd58af2e80cdfd +size 1086630 diff --git a/wisconsin/sbert_x.pt b/wisconsin/sbert_x.pt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..8867120149cb7aa9c17d7611ce8660f610c20184 --- /dev/null +++ b/wisconsin/sbert_x.pt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +version https://git-lfs.github.com/spec/v1 +oid sha256:d62247e52ef9786926cb784a5c0b19c5fa111349e00238b46a510d13e11f5467 +size 408220
