The School of Computing and Information Technology at Griffith University
wishes to appoint a computer scientist to work on an ARC-funded project
entitled "Foundations of deductive object-oriented database systems" held
by Professor Rodney Topor and Dr Peter Bernus.

The goals of this project are to investigate a range of problems concerning
the theoretical foundations of of advanced database systems, the design and
analysis of fundamental database algorithms, and the implementation of 
prototype systems.  The appointee will be expected to work on these problems
in collaboration with the grant holders.  The emphasis will be on theoretical
issues, but the exact nature of the work can depend on the background and
interests of the person appointed.

Applicants are expected to have a PhD in a relevant area, and research
experience in the theory of database systems, or logic programming, or
theoretical computer science generally.  Systems implementation experience
would be an advantage.

The appointment is for one year initially, starting immediately, with the
possibility of subsequent extension.  The salary range is A$41,000 to 
A$48.688 (but probably at the lower end).  Griffith University provides
a stimulating research environment with typical modern facilities in an
attractive setting.  Please feel free to contact me with any enquiries at
all regarding the position.

The closing date for applications is January 31, 1993.

Snyder Hugh (larry@ai.mit.edu) asks about subscripting a 3-way array:

> 	> dim(Data)
> 	100 5 8
> 	> length( Index )
> 	100
> Here's what I'd like to do:
> 	> New <- array(NA, dim=c(100,5))
> 	> for (i in 1:100)
> 	     New[i,] <- Data[i,,Index[i] ]

Most (all?) S users know about subscripting arrays using multiple
indices (as many as there are dimensions).  Fewer (but probably still
many) know that if an array is subscripted with a single vector, the
array itself is treated as a vector (in "column-major" order), with the
subscript acting accordingly.  I think, however, that many people don't
know about subscripting an array with a matrix; hence, I'm sending this
to s-news rather that just to Mr. Hugh.

If an array is subscripted with a single matrix, and that matrix has as
many columns as the array has dimensions, then each row of the matrix
is used to select one element from the array, and the returned value is
a vector of the selected elements.  In Mr. Hugh's case, this matrix can
easily be constructed using cbind() and a few rep()s, and then the
result of the subscripting can be shaped into the desired matrix:

matrix(Data[cbind(rep(1:100,5), rep(1:5,rep(100,5)), rep(Index,5))], 100, 5)

(I think this is correct -- I didn't try it).  Notice that the matrix
subscript must be constructed with the "column-major" storage order of
arrays in mind, in order for the final reshaping to work.  This kind of
subscripting is documented: help('[').

Subject: saving memory and reducing "for" loops

In order to prevent memory limit errors
sometimes I am able to use recursion.
(Actually, I still need "for" loops, but recursion saves
memory by having more returns from functions.)
This may not work for all problems, but it will for
situations that partition nicely.

FF _ function ( Data ) {
  if ( Data is small enough )
    Result _ whatever is needed, including "for" loops
  else {
    Temp _ Split ( Data )   # splits into two parts
    Result1 _ FF ( Temp$Part1 )
    Result2 _ FF ( Temp$Part2 )
    Result _ Combine ( Result1, Result2 )
    }
  return ( Result )
  }

You have to provide appropriate Split and Combine functions, which
may or may not be easy.

If Burton liked any man to remind him of a woman, it wouldn't surprise me;
I'm sure there are lots of supportive people in La Trobe who can help him.

But, Burton, you really DO remind me of that guy.  One minute he's
overestimating himself, a parasite on society, and the next minute he's
totally lost, wandering around mumbling complete nonsense.  But there
is a difference;  he ended up with a gorgeous woman, and you won't.

Burton advises us that my time would be better spent reading a mountain
