378 Freire, Juliana; Silva, Claudio T.VisMashup: streamlining the creation of custom visualization applicationsVisualization is essential for understanding the increasing volumes of digital data. However, the process required to create insightful visualizations is involved and time consuming. Although several visualization tools are available, including tools with sophisticated visual interfaces, they are o...VisMashup; Dataflow; Visualization systems; Mashups; Medleys2009-11
379 Gopalakrishnan, GaneshBounded transaction model checkingIndustrial cache coherence protocol models often have too many reachable states, preventing full reachability analysis even for small model instances (number of processors, addresses, etc.). Several partial search debugging methods are, therefore, employed, including lossy state compression using...Model checking; Reachability analysis2006-02-27
380 Riesenfeld, Richard F.; Smith, Kent F.An experimental system for computer aided geometric designThe main goal of this proposed level-of-effort project is to extend present capabilities in the area of Computer Aided Geometric Design (CAGD) and to develop custom VLSI support for some special geometric functions.Computer aided geometric design; CAGD; VLSI; Very large scale integration1984
381 Gopalakrishnan, GaneshA partial order reduction algorithm without the ProvisoThis paper presents a partial order reduction algorithm, called Two phase, that preserves stutter free LTL properties. Two phase dramatically reduces the number of states visited compared to previous partial order reduction algorithms on most practical protocols. The reason can be traced to a step o...Order reduction algorithm; Proviso step1998

383 Kessler, Robert R.Visual threads: the benefits of multithreading in visual programming languagesAfter working with the CWave visual programming language, we discovered that many of our target domains required the ability to define parallel computations within a program. CWave has a strongly hierarchical model of computation, so it seemed like adding the ability to take a part of the hierarchy ...Visual threads; multithreading; CWave1997
384 Gopalakrishnan, GaneshPerformance studies of PV: an On-the-fly model-checker for LTL-X featuring selective caching and partial order reductionWe present an enumerative model-checker PV that uses a new partial order reduction algorithm called Twophase. This algorithm does not use the in-stack check to implement the proviso, making the combination of Twophase with on-the-fly LTL-X model-checking based on nested depth-first search, as well a...Model-checker; PV; Performance; On-the-fly; Partial order reduction algorithm;' Twophase2001
385 Bhanu, BirCAOS an approach to robot controlControl systems which enable robots to behave intelligently is a major issue in todays process of automating factories. This thesis presents a hierarchical robot control system, a programming language for goal achievement, termed CAOS for Control using Action Oriented Schemata, with ideas taken fro...Robot control system; CAOS; Control using Action Oriented Schemata1987
386 Gooch, Bruce; Reinhard, ErikPerception-driven black-and-white drawings and caricaturesIn this paper, we present a method for automatically creating black-and-white drawings of human faces from photographs. We then demonstrate new techniques for deforming these drawings to create caricatures intended to highlight and exaggerate facial features. A number of psychophysical studies we...Caricatures; Human faces2002-01-22
387 Hansen, Charles D.Volume Ray casting with peak finding and differential samplingDirect volume rendering and isosurfacing are ubiquitous rendering techniques in scientific visualization, commonly employed in imaging 3D data from simulation and scan sources. Conventionally, these methods have been treated as separate modalities, necessitating different sampling strategies and ren...2009-11
388 Parker, Steven G.; Hansen, Charles D.; Johnson, Christopher R.Computational steering and the SCIRun integrated problem solving environmentSCIRun is a problem solving environment that allows the interactive construction, debugging, and steering of large-scale scientific computations. We review related systems and introduce a taxonomy that explores different computational steering solutions. Considering these approaches, we discuss why ...Computational steering; Problem solving environment; SCIRun; Volume rendering1997
389 Keller, Robert M.Semantics of networks containing indeterminate operatorsWe discuss a denotational semantics for networks containing indeterminate operators. Our approach is based on modelling a networks by the set of all its possible behaviors. Our notion of behavior is a sequence of computational actions. The primitive computational action is an event: the appearance o...1984
390 Kirby, Robert Michael IIOn the use of adjoint-based sensitivity estimates to control local mesh refinementThe goal of efficient and robust error control, through local mesh adaptation in the computational solution of partial differential equations, is predicated on the ability to identify in an a posteriori way those localized regions whose refinement will lead to the most significant reductions in the ...Sensitivity; Adaptivity; Error estimation; hp-finite elements; Discrete adjoint; Mesh refinement2009
391 Brown, Bruce EricModeling of solids for three-dimensional finite element analysisThe geometric modeling of solid objects is a major problem within the design analysis loop of the engineering design process. Models are analyzed by various computer programs to predict their performance. The format of each model is usually different for each analysis routine. The existence of sev...Geometric modeling; Solid objects; Finite element analysis1977
392 Keller, Robert M.Semantics of parallel program graphsA denotational model for networks of parallel processes is presented which generalizes the work of Kahn by using alternative data types, e.g. Lisp-like operators on trees. It is shown that the ordering aspect of data types plays a central role in determining how much parallelism can be present. It i...Parallel program graphs; Computer semantics; Denotational model1977
393 Lindstrom, Gary E.Modular language processors as framework completionsThe conceptual and specificational power of denotational semantics for programming language design has been amply demonstrated. We report here on a language implementation method that is similarly semantically motivated, but is based upon object-oriented design principles, and results in flexible an...Modular language processors; Denotational semantics; Framework completions1993
394 Henderson, Thomas C.; Sikorski, ChristopherSymmetry: a basis for sensorimotor reconstructionGiven a set of unknown sensors and actuators, sensorimotor reconstruction is achieved by exploiting relations between the sensor data and the actuator control data to determine sets of similar sensors, sets of similar actuators, necessary relations between them, as well as sensorimotor relations ...sensorimotor reconstruction; sensor data; actuator control data2011

396 Lindstrom, Gary E.Toward function-based distributed database systemsWe discuss the suitability of a function-based (or "applicative") approach to the construction of distributed database systems.
