452 Riloff, Ellen M.Information extraction as a stepping stone toward story understandingHistorically story understanding systems have depended on a great deal of handcrafted knowledge. Natural language understanding systems that use conceptual knowledge structures (Schank and Abelson 1977; Cullingford 1978; Wilensky 1978; Carbonell 1979; Lehnert 1981; Kolodner 1983) typically rely on ...Information extraction; Story understanding1999
453 Henderson, Thomas C.; Cohen, ElaineInnate theories as a basis for autonomous mental developmentSloman (in robotics), Chomsky and Pinker (in natural language), and others, e.g., Rosenberg (in human cooperative behavior) have proposed that some abstract theories relevant to cognitive activity are encoded genetically in humans. The biological advantages of this are (1) to reduce the learning ...Autonomous mental development2009
454 Gopalakrishnan, GaneshInspect: a runtime model checker for multithreaded C programsWe present Inspect, a runtime model checker for revealing concurrency bugs in multithreaded C programs.

455 Henderson, Thomas C.Instrumented sensor system - practiceIn previous work, we introduced the notion of Instrumented Logical Sensor Systems (ILSS) that are derived from a modeling and design methodology [4, 2].

456 Henderson, Thomas C.Instrumented sensor system architectureSensor systems are becoming ubiquitous throughout society, yet their design, construction and operation is still more of an art than a science.

459 Freire, JulianaIntegrated scientific workflow management for the Emulab network testbedThe main forces that shaped current network testbeds were the needs for realism and scale. Now that several testbeds support large and complex experiments, management of experimentation processes and results has become more difficult and a barrier to high-quality systems research. The popularity o...Workflow management; Data exploration; Emulab; Network testbeds2006
