1 Carter, John B.A comparison of software and hardware synchronization mechanisms for distributed shared memory multiprocessorsEfficient synchronization is an essential component of parallel computing. The designers of traditional multiprocessors have included hardware support only for simple operations such as compare-and-swap and load-linked/store-conditional, while high level synchronization primitives such as locks, bar...Hardware locks1996
2 Mathews, V. JohnAdaptive realization of a maximum likelihood time delay estimatorABSTRACT This paper presents an adaptive maximum likelihood method for estimating the time difference of arrival of a source signal at two spatially separate sensors. It is well-known that the maximum likelihood technique achieves the Cramer-Rao lower bound for time delay estimation error for ce...1996
3 Mathews, V. JohnAdaptive volterra filters using orthogonal structuresAbstract-This paper presents an adaptive Volterra filter that empolys a recently developed orthogonalization procedure of Gaussian signals for Volterra system identification.

4 Riloff, Ellen M.Automatically generating extraction patterns from untagged textMany corpus-based natural language processing systems rely on text corpora that have been manually annotated with syntactic or semantic tags. In particular, all previous dictionary construction systems for information extraction have used an annotated training corpus or some form of annotated input...Information extraction; Automatically generating; Extraction patterns; Untagged text; Corpus-based; AutoSlog-TS; AutoSlog system; MUC-4; Dictionary construction1996
5 Carter, John B.The avalanche myrinet simulation packageThis is a user manual for version 2.0 of the Myrinet simulation package.

7 Freire, JulianaBeyond depth-first: improving tabled logic programs through alternative scheduling strategiesTabled evaluations ensure termination of logic programs with fi nite models by keeping track of which subgoals have been called Given several variant subgoals in an evaluation, only the fi rst one encountered will use program clause resolution the rest uses answer resolution This use of answer r...Alternate scheduling; SLG-WAM; Tabled logic programs1996
8 Furse, Cynthia M.; Gandhi, Om P.Calculation of electric fields and currents induced in a millimeter-resolution human model at 60 Hz using the FDTD method with a novel time-to-frequency-domain conversionThe finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method has previously been used to calculate induced currents in anatomically based models of the human body at frequencies ranging from 20 to 915 MHz and resolutions down to 1.31 cm . Calculations at lower frequencies and higher resolutions have been preclu...Finite-difference time-domain method; FDTD; Induced currents; Human body model1996
9 Horch, Kenneth W.Closed loop control of ankle position using muscle afferent feedback with functional neuromuscular stimulationThis paper describes a closed-loop functional neuromuscular stimulation system that uses afferent neural activity from muscle spindle fibers as feedback for controlling position of the ankle joint.

10 Stringfellow, Gerald B.Correlation between surface structure and ordering in GaInPGa and In atoms in Ga0.52In0.48P layers spontaneously segregate to form alternating In- and Ga-rich {111} monolayers during organometallic vapor phase epitaxial (OMVPE) growth on (001) oriented GaAs substrates, thus forming the CuPt ordered structure. This ordering phenomenon is believed to be drive...Transformations; Absorbtion spectra; Surface Properties1996
11 Furse, Cynthia M.; Lazzi, Gianluca; Gandhi, Om P.Electrical energy absorption in the human head from a cellular telephoneThe antenna of a cellular telephone in close proximity to the human head for a variety of time periods raises questions.

12 Riloff, Ellen M.Empirical study of automated dictionary construction for information extraction in three domainsA primary goal of natural language processing researchers is to develop a knowledge-based natural language processing (NLP) system that is portable across domains. However, most knowledge-based NLP systems rely on a domain-specific dictionary of concepts, which represents a substantial knowledge-en...Information extraction; AutoSlog; Across domains1996
13 Furse, Cynthia M.; Gandhi, Om P.; Lazzi, GianlucaFDTD computation of power deposition in the head for cellular telephonesThe finite-difference time-domain method is used to calculate radiation pattern and specific absorption rate (SAR) in the human head due to cellular telephones. For realistic simulation of the ordinary positions of holding the phone, the ear of the model is pressed against the head, the head is tilt...Finite-difference time-domain method; FDTD; Specific absorption rate; Radiation patterns; Human head model; Power deposition1996
14 Henderson, Thomas C.Flat surface reconstruction using sonarA technique is given for the recovery of planar surfaces using two beam-spread sonar readings. If a single, planar surface gave rise to the two readings, then the method recovers the surface quite accurately. Simulation and experiment demonstrate the effectiveness of the technique and recommend its ...Flat surfaces; Reconstruction; Two beam-spread; Sonar readings; Planar surfaces1996
15 Susarla, Sai R.Flexible multi-policy scheduling based on CPU inheritanceTraditional processor scheduling mechanisms in operating systems are fairly rigid, often supporting only one fixed scheduling policy, or, at most, a few "scheduling classes" whose implementations are closely tied together in the OS kernel. This paper presents CPU inheritance scheduling, a novel p...CPU inheritance1996
16 Brunvand, Erik L.Fred: an architecture for a self-timed decoupled computerDecoupled computer architectures provide an effective means of exploiting instruction level parallelism. Selftimed micropipeline systems are inherently decoupled due to the elastic nature of the basic FIFO structure, and may be ideally suited for constructing decoupled computer architectures. Fred ...1996
17 Thompson, William B.Geometric reasoning for map-based localizationAn essential aspect of map-based navigation is the determination of an agent's current location based on sensed data from the environment. Formally, this amounts to specifying the current viewpoint in some world model coordinate system. This localization process has two distinct components: one invo...Map-based localization; Map-based navigation; Geometric reasoning1996
18 Mecklenburg, RobertGORP: An object-oriented design for genomic objects, relationships and processesThe Eccles Institute for Human Genetics (EIHG) has developed a genomic database based on a novel level of abstraction.

19 Stoller, Leigh B.Low latency workstation cluster communications using sender-based protocolsThe use of workstations on a local area network to form scalable multicomputers has become quite common.
