151 An automated wire routing kernelThe kernel described here is based on using pattern matching techniques for describing algorithms. The use of patterns permits different physical constraints and properties to be considered. In addition, the abstraction provided by patterns allows the ability to transform oddly shaped routing areas ...computers; kernel functions1991-07
152 Interaction with constraints in three-dimensional modelingThe purpose of this thesis is to simplify and improve the efficiency of the interactive definition of geometric objects in computer aided geometric modeling. To achieve this goal two ways of defining geometric objects are combined and interfaced: 1) the definition of objects by interactive construct...three-dimensional modeling; computers1991-05
153 Numerical weather prediction model for distributing computing systemsThe objectives of this research are twofold: One is to develop and implement a spectral numerical weather prediction model using parallel algorithms. The other objective is to examine a parallel paradigm that allows users to write parallel scientific algorithms easily and efficiently.weather predictions; spectral numerical weather predictions; weather prediction model; parallel algorithms; computers1991-08
154 A graphical workstation and programming environment for data-driven computationThis dissertation reports on the development of a prototype programming environment for a graphical programming language to support data-driven style of computation. Emphasis is on the need for tools to assist in the development of nontrivial graphical programs.graphical programming language; data-driven style; computation; computers1983-03
155 Constraint driven synthesis of hardware designDesign synthesis (or Synthetic Design) is an attractive alternative to manual design, due to the obvious benefits of decreased development time and correctness by construction. Unfortunately, the price for this automation has frequently been inefficient designs and a narrow range of application. The...design synthesis; constraint driven synthesis; constraints; computers1983-08
156 Data structures and system support for a graphical programming language editing and program development environmentThis thesis presents an editing tool for use in the development of data-driven style programs. These programs are based on a hierarchical graphical syntax rather than the conventional textual syntax. The editor provides the programmer with all the necessary operations for traversing and manipulating...editing tool; computers; data-driven style programs1983-12
157 A multistrategy machine learning approach to object recognitionThis work describes an innovative approach that combines machine learning and vision into an integrated system. The system is called ORACLE: Object Recognition Accomplished through Consolidation Learning Expertise. It uses two machine learning techniques known as explanation-based learning and conce...ORACLE; ORACLE system; computers1991-03
158 Parallel path consistencyThis thesis examines the actual real world performance of PC as compared AC and shows that in most cases the measured performance is greatly superior to its assumed worst case. In addition, the improved filtering efficiency of PC over AC is measured.arc consistency; path consistency; real world performance; computers1991-03
159 2D knowledge based vision systemA knowledge based approach to computer vision provides the needed flexibility for performing recognition and inspection of objects in a complex environment. A system is described which uses knowledge about the environment, sensors, and performance requirements to construct a functional configuration...computers; visual system; 2-Dimensional; 2-D1987-07
160 Localization in outdoor static terrain (LOST)This thesis considers problems that arise while combining these strategies with a feature based approach to the localization problem. A subset of strategies were simplified and implemented, along with key feature based concepts. This experimentation has helped to point out and clarify some aspects o...localization problem; LOST; localization; computers1995-12
