Robot: Mere Machine to Transcendent Mind
Authors: Hans P. Moravec
Venue:  (2000)

:In this mind-bending new book, Hans Moravec takes the reader on a roller-coaster ride packed with startling predictions. He tells us, for instance, that in the not-too-distant future, an army of robots will displace workers, causing massive, unprecedented unemployment. But then, says Moravec, a period of very comfortable existence will follow, as humans benefit from a fully automated economy. And eventually, as machines evolve far beyond humanity, robots will supplant us. But if Moravec predicts the end of the domination by human beings, his is not a bleak vision. Far from railing against a future in which machines rule the world, Moravec embraces it, taking the startling view that intelligent robots will actually be our evolutionary heirs.

On the covering radius problem for ternary self-dual codes
Authors: Michio Ozeki
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2001)

In the present paper we develop a method to determine the cost weight distributions and covering radius of extremal ternary self-dual codes of various lengths. The notion of modified Jacobi polynomials is introduced and elementary aspects of it art discussed. Algebraic foundation has much room for further investigations. Since the algorithms underlining in our approach to this problem are sound, and we can bet many numerical results as far as the computer runs in a reasonable time.
Mining the web to create minority language corpora
Authors: Rayid Ghani, Rosie Jones, Dunja Mladenić
Venue: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Information and knowledge management (2001)

The Web is a valuable source of language specific resources but the process of collecting, organizing and utilizing these resources is difficult. We describe CorpusBuilder, an approach for automatically generating Web-search queries for collecting documents in a minority language. It differs from pseudo-relevance feedback in that retrieved documents are labeled by an automatic language classifier as relevant or irrelevant, and this feedback is used to generate new queries. We experiment with various query-generation methods and query-lengths to find inclusion/exclusion terms that are helpful for retrieving documents in the target language and find that using odds-ratio scores calculated over the documents acquired so far was one of the most consistently accurate query-generation methods. We also describe experiments using a handful of words elicited from a user instead of initial documents and show that the methods perform similarly. Experiments applying the same approach to multiple languages are also presented showing that our approach generalizes to a variety of languages.

The Art of Molecular Dynamics Simulation
Authors: D. C. Rapaport
Venue:  (1996)

:This book describes the extremely powerful technique of molecular dynamics simulation, which involves solving the classical many-body problem in contexts relevant to the study of matter at the atomic level. The method allows the prediction of the static and dynamic properties of substances directly from the underlying interactions between the molecules. Because there is no alternative approach capable of handling such a broad range of problems at the required level of detail, molecular dynamics methods have proved themselves indispensable in both pure and applied research.

The barrel concept: a study in language system development
Authors: Cindy Eades, Kevin D. Reilly, John H. Barrett, Charles Minderhout
Venue: Proceedings of the 20th annual Southeast regional conference (1982)

We describe a variation in theme on abstract machine implementation through general purpose macro processing. Using data flow diagrams we show how the central focus of concern can be shifted from the output focus of conventional macro processing to an user-oriented focus, on a system developed upon an optimized and extended version of the Stage2 processor of W. Waite and co-workers.The approach has potential theoretical interest in its: being a modern expression of widely accepted older ideas and implementations, applications which incorporate synergisms in language concepts (string and list processing, tables), possible opening to logic programming.Data flow descriptions are used to illustrate top-level and selected lower level computation activities, e.g., combination evaluation. Usage of the array of capabilities presented by Barrel are outlined: portability, prototyping in a multiple-machine context, "permanent" (compiled) codes for network operations.

Throughput of ideally routed wireless ad hoc networks
Authors: Eszter Kail, Gábor Németh, Zoltán Richárd Turányi
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd ACM international symposium on Mobile ad hoc networking computing (2001)

In our present work we model the maximum throughput of stationary ad hoc networks. The routing process we apply is ideal in the sense that it includes collision avoidance and transmits using shortest paths between random source-destination pairs. Our model not only confirms the n-1/2 decay of the throughput that was published earlier in the literature, but also provides an approach to acquire the function relations between various network parameters. This way the effects of changes in surface topology occupied by the network, traffic generation algorithm or other network characteristics can be predicted using first order approximation

A low-power high-performance current-mode multiport SRAM
Authors: Muhammad M. Khellah, Mohamed I. Elmasry
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems (2001)

This paper presents a new approach for energy reduction and speed improvement of multiport SRAMs. The key idea is to use current-mode for both read and write operations. To toggle a memory cell, a very small voltage swing is first created on the high-capacitive bit lines. This voltage is then translated into a differential current being injected into the cell, which in turn allows complementary potential to be developed on the cell nodes. As compared to the conventinal write approach, spice simulations using a 0.35-&mu;m CMOS process have shown 2.8 to 9.9&times; in energy savings and 1.02 to 6.36 &times; reduction in delay, for memory sizes of 32 to 1 K words. We also present a current-mode sense-amplifier that operates in a similar fashion as the write circuit. The design and implementation of a pipelined 32 &times; 64 three-port register file utilizing the proposed technique is described. Measurements of the register file chip have confirmed the feasibility of this approach.
