Orr, Douglas B.; Mecklenburg, Robert | OMOS ? An object server for program execution | The benefits of object-oriented programming are well known but popular operating systems provide very few object oriented features to users and few are im plemented using object oriented techniques themselves In this paper we discuss a mechanism for apply ing object oriented programming co... | OMOS; Object server | 1992 |

Henderson, Thomas C. | High-level planning for dextrous manipulation | The development of mechanical end effectors capable of dextrous manipulation is a rapidly growing and quite successful field of research. It has in some sense put the focus on control issues, in particular, how to control these remarkably anthropomorphic manipulators to perform the deft movement tha... | Mechanical end effectors; Dextrous manipulation | 1987 |

Henderson, Thomas C. | UPE: Utah prototyping environment for robot manipulators | Developing an environment that enables optimal and flexible design of robot manipulators using reconfigurable links, joints, actuators, and sensors is an essential step for efficient robot design and prototyping. Such an environment should have the right "mix" of software and hardware components fo... | prototyping environment; robot manipulators | 1994 |

Boll, Steven F. | Application of the saber method for improved spectral analysis of noisy speech | A stand alone noise suppression algorithm is described for reducing the spectral effects of acoustically added noise in speech. A fundamental result is developed which shows that the spectral magnitude of speech plus noise can be effectively approximated as the sum of magnitudes of speech and noise.... | Noise suppression algorithm; SABER method | 1977 |

Riloff, Ellen M. | Inducing information extraction systems for new languages via cross-language projection | Information extraction (IE) systems are costly to build because they require development texts, parsing tools, and specialized dictionaries for each application domain and each natural language that needs to be processed. We present a novel method for rapidly creating IE systems for new languages by... | Information extraction; IE systems; Cross-language projection; English; French | 2002 |

Keller, Robert M. | Sentinels: A concept for multiprocess coordination | The sentinel construct is introduced, which provides a certain syntactic and semantic framework for multiprocess coordination. The advantage of this construct over others is argued to be semantic transparency, efficiency, ease in implementation, and usefulness in verfication. | Sentinels; Multiprocess coordination; Sentinel construct | 1978 |

Lindstrom, Gary E. | Layered, server-based support for Object-Oriented application development | This paper advocates the idea that the physical modularity (file structure) of application components supported by conventional OS environments can be elevated to the level of logical modularity, which in turn can directly support application development in an object-oriented manner. We demonstrate ... | Object-Oriented application development | 1995 |

Hibler, Michael J. | Notes on thread models in Mach 3.0 | During the Mach In-Kernel Servers work, we explored two alternate thread models that could be used to support traps to in-kernel servers. In the "migrating threads" model we used, the client's thread temporarily moves into the server's task for the duration of the call. In t h e "thread switching" ... | Thread models; In-kernel servers; Thread switching; Mach 3.0 | 1993 |

Balasubramonian, Rajeev | Commit algorithms for scalable hardware transactional memory | In a hardware transactional memory system with lazy versioning and lazy conflict detection, the process of transaction commit can emerge as a bottleneck. For a large-scale distributed memory system, we propose novel algorithms to implement commit that are deadlock- and livelock-free and do not empl... | Commit algorithms; Scalable; Hardware; Transactional memory | 2007 |

Boll, Steven F.; Timothy, LaMar K. | Noise suppression methods for robust speech processing (1 Oct. 1978- 31 Mar. 1979) | Robust speech processing in practical operating environments requires effective environmental and processor noise suppression. This report describes the technical findings and accomplishments during this reporting period for the research program funded to develop real time, compressed speech analysi... | Noise suppression; Signal contamination; Compressed speech analysis-synthesis algorithms | 1979 |

Balasubramonian, Rajeev | The effect of interconnect design on the performance of large L2 caches | The ever increasing sizes of on-chip caches and the growing domination of wire delay have changed the traditional design approach of the memory hierarchy. Many recent proposals advocate splitting the cache into a large number of banks and employ an on-chip network to allow fast access to nearby ban... | | 2006 |

Henderson, Thomas C. | Shortest paths in sensor snow | We propose to deploy and exploit a large number of non-mobile inexpensive distributed sensor and communication devices (called Smart Sensor Snow) to obtain information and guide mobile robots over a wide geographic area. Sensors may be of diverse physical natures: acoustic, IR, seismic, chemical, ma... | Sensor snow; Distributed sensor; Smart Sensor Snow; Sensors | 1999 |

Sobh, Tarek M. | Autonomous Observation | We address the problem of observing an agent. We advocate a modeling approach for the visual system and its observer, where a discrete event dynamic system (DEDS) framework is developed and "events" are defined as ranges on parameter subsets.

Shirley, Peter S. | Natural image statistics for computer graphics | The class of all natural images is an infinitely small fraction of all possible images. The structure of natural images can be statistically modeled, revealing striking regularities. The human visual system appears to be optimized to view natural images, as opposed to any possible image, and therefo... | Natural image | 2001 |

Balasubramonian, Rajeev | Interference aware cache designs for operating system execution | Large-scale chip multiprocessors will likely be heterogeneous.
