I was talking to an acquaintance of mine the other day who rides a
Harley 883 sportster... I told me that basically the 1200 motor is a
bored out 883 and that there are a ton of places in Los Angeles where you
can get your 883 bored out to 1200... You can buy the kit from Harley
Davidson for something insanely cheap (he quoted a figure of $300 or so)
which has, I guess , the pistons and stuff... He also said that the
shops in LA can do the machining for a few hundred dollars... Thus, you
could buy yourself one of those 883 for X dollars and for X plus $800
or something you could have a 1200 sportster... I guess that the 1200
are normally like $3000 more than the 883...

Does anyone know of this kind of thing?.. I'm not really in the market
for a Harley (only because I don't have the money, not because I don't
like them), but I would be interested in the validity of these facts...

When there is only one lane (in each direction) riding to the right
would be "driving on the sholder" and riding on the left would
be "driving in the median", right?  So even at a traffic light (generally
the only time I split, or at least the most likely) with just a single
lane (in each direction) are you stuck or will the cops let you get
away with it in this case?

	Indexical representation in planning, 
		execution and monitoring	

		  Yasuhiro Katagiri

Situated agents have to entertain both indexical, agent-relative style
of representation and absolute, agent-independent style of
representation.  Indexical representation is necessary because it is
directly connected with agents' perceptions and actions, and these
interactions with environment must be specified in an agent-relative
fashon.  Absolute representation is necessary because with only
agent-relative representation agents are required to modify their
entire conception of the world every time an action is (planned to be)
performed, which is vastly impractical, and thus necessitating the
agent-independent specification of external facts that are independent
of agents' actions.

Mixture of different types of representation poses interesting
problems for action planning and execution.  I will first discuss ways
of planning for different types of goal/initial state information.  I
will then argue that dead reckoning in navigation can be viewed as
transformation in indexical domain and is used both in planning and
execution.  I will finally examine possible methods of recovering from
error during execution.

How can software developers write programs to use high performance servers
to their advantage?  Is your software ready for the next generation of 
corporate computing?  November's NETSIG meeting will feature Walt Wallach, 
NetFRAME Systems' Manager of NetWare Development.  NetFRAME is a leading 
beneficiary of the downsizing trend, bringing functions previously 
performed on mainframes "down" to LANs.  

Walt will discuss how how superservers such as the NetFRAME change the picture 
for application software developers.  Most superservers today are installed at 
end user sites for simple file server consolidation.  However, end-users have 
found that superservers, with their high-performance architectures, are the 
perfect platform for their downsizing projects.  

Admission is free for SEF members; $7.00 for non-members.  For more

Doug Brutlag, Stanford University will speak on
"Discovery and Representation of Biological Structures from Sequence" 

ABSTRACT:

We have developed a new representation for structural and functional
motifs in protein sequences based on correlations between pairs of amino
acids.  Traditional methods for representing and analyzing protein sequences
have assumed conditional independence of evidence.  In other words, amino
acids are assumed to have no effect on each other.  However, analyses of
protein structures have repeatedly demonstrated the importance of interactions
between amino acids in conferring structure and function.  Using probabilistic
networks we are able to model the relationships between amino acids at
distinct positions in a protein sequence as well as the amino-acid
distributions at single positions.  We have also developed an automated
program for discovering these sequence correlations using standard statistical
tests and validation.  We have tested this program on several protein sequence
motifs including helix-turn-helix DNA-binding domains, regions of common
secondary structure and the termini of secondary structures.  The correlations
our program discovers, in each case, correspond well with known physical and
chemical interactions (between amino acids in three-dimensions).  Furthermore,
we show that using amino-acid correlation information improves the performance
of sequence classification and database search. Thus, we represent
three-dimensional aspects of a motif, such as those arising from structural or
functional constraints on the sequence, and use that information to improve
sequence analysis tools.  We have also recently applied the same method to
finding structural correlations in RNA structures.

	COBASE: COOPERATIVE DISTRIBUTED DATABASE SYSTEMS

			Wesley W. Chu
			University of California
			Los Angeles, CA  90024
			wwc@cs.ucla.edu


			ABSTRACT

A new generation of distributed database that integrates knowledge base 
technology with database systems is presented for providing cooperative
(summary, approximate, or relaxed) query answering and fault tolerant 
query processing during network partition.  Based on the database schema 
and application characteristics, data are organized into conceptual
(type abstraction) hierarchies.  The higher levels of the hierarchy provide 
a more abstract data representation than the lower levels.  Generalization 
(moving up in the hierarchy), specialization (moving down in the hierarchy) 
and association (moving between hierarchies) are the three key operations in 
deriving cooperative query answers.  

Relaxation in CoBase can be specified explicitly in the query by the user
or calling program, or by query modification via the generalization/special-
ization/association.  The cooperative operators are available as extensions to 
several existing query languages, including CSQL (cooperative SQL) and CLIM
(cooperative LIM).  Further, KRSL can be extended in a similar manner.  
If the approximate operations are not explicitly specified, or if no 
exact answer to the query is found, CoBase modifies queries via 
generalization/specialization/association based on the type abstraction hierarchies. 

To limit the search scope during relaxation, the relaxation process needs 
to be controlled.  The control can be based on explicit query specifications,
query context, user profile, application constraints, and the number and type
of answers derived.  An Explanation System is also included to describe 
the relaxation process and provide the nearness of the approximate answer.

CoBase uses LOOM as knowledge representation and inference system and 
supports relational data bases (e.g. Oracle and Sybase) as well as LIM 
(the Loom Interface Module designed by Paramax).  We have demonstrated the feasibility 
and functionality of CoBase on top of the Transportation Database. 

The CoBase methodology has also been adopted in the multi-media medical 
distributed database project at UCLA (supported by NSF).  In that project, 
CoBase provides approximate query answers to medical queries. 

CoBase is part of the Data Management provision of the Transportation 
Planning Initiative.
