In the area of fully;automatic systems, our focus is on development of means for;geometric reasoning and control necessary for automatic planning of;motion in a complex environment. A machine equipped with such means;is able to purposely move in a complex scene with multiple, perhaps;moving, obstacles of arbitrary shapes. We are especially interested;in a paradigm which assumes incomplete information and continuous;real-time computation based on sensory feedback (e.g., from vision;or range sensors). This model suggests economic active sensing; guided by the motion planning needs. A strong factor in such;systems is the effect of system dynamics and nonholonomic;contstraints on real-time control.;; As part of our work on human-centered systems, we study (jointly;with cognitive scientists) human skills in motion planning and space;orientation. These results are then used for comparison with the;performance of automatic systems and for developong hybrid physical;(teleoperated) and computer graphics interaction systems. The major;property of such a hybrid system is that it blends together, in a;synergistic manner, human and machine intelligences.

Several of the algorithms underlying the Coral;system have been developed by members of the group during the duration;of the project (since 1988).;Overview:;Coral is a deductive system which supports a rich declarative language,;and an interface to C++ which allows for a combination of declaritive;and imperative programming. The declarative query language supports;general Horn clauses augmented with complex terms, set-grouping,;aggregation, negation, and relations with tuples that contain;(universally quantified) variables. A CORAL declarative program can;be organized as a collection of interacting modules. The CORAL;implementation supports a wide range of evaluation strategies, and;automatically chooses an efficient evaluation strategy for each module;in the program. In addition, users are permitted to guide query optimization,;if desired, by selecting from among a wide range of control choices at;the level of each module.;The CORAL system provides imperative constructs such as update, insert;and delete rules. CORAL also has an interface with C++, and users can;program in a combination of declarative CORAL and C++ extended with;CORAL primitives. A high degree of extensibility is provided by allowing;C++ programmers to use the class structure of C++ to enhance the CORAL;implemenation. CORAL provides support for both main-memory and;disk-resident data. Disk-resident data is supported using the;EXODUS;storage mananger, which also provides transaction management in a;client-server environment.;Release Information:;The current release of Coral is Version 1.5, released October 10, 1996.;To install Coral on your system, then grab the tar file you want.;The nobin version contains only the source code, requiring;you to compile Coral.

This;interface is intended to ease the transition of applications from the;Unix file system environment to Shore as existing Unix tools such as vi;and cc will be able to store their data in Shore objects without;modification (basically a Unix file becomes either a single Shore;object or the text field of a more complex object).;Overview:;SHORE is something of a hybrid system by nature, inheriting;characteristics both from object-oriented database systems and from;file systems. This section briefly describe the basic features of;SHORE. The paper,;Shoring Up Persistent Applications,;describes SHORE in much greater detail.;SHORE has three major goals:;Scalability;Support for hardware and language heterogeneity;Support for existing, file-based applications;When the SHORE project began 3 years ago, these goals were unique;among the research and commercial OODBMS community. While the; ODMG effort;has also concentrated on providing some degree of support for language;heterogeneity (which, in turn, facilitates hardware heterogeneity),;SHORE remains distinguished by its focus on scalability and support;for applications that depend on the Unix file system for persistent;storage. Furthermore, since the SHORE data model (SDL) is basically;compatible with the ODMG data model (ODL),;we expect that much of the technology that we develop can eventually be;transferred to the commercial sector.;Scalable Architecture;SHORE's software architecture is unique is several ways.;First, SHORE uses a symmetric, peer-to-peer distributed;architecture. In SHORE, every participating processor runs a;SHORE server process whether or not the processor has SHORE data disks;attached. The software has been designed to be scalable;;it can run on a single processor, a network of workstations, or;a large parallel processor such as the Intel Paragon or IBM SP1/2.;This design is in contrast to the client-server architecture;used by EXODUS and all the OODBMS vendors. While a client-server;architecture is fine for a design environment such as is typically;used in software and hardware CAD efforts, it is not scalable.;The second unique feature of the SHORE architecture is its notion;of a ``value-added'' server. By structuring the software that runs;in the server with extensibility in mind, it is relatively simple for;users to build application-specific servers. For example, the;Paradise project;is already using the SHORE server to build a geographic information system for; NASA's;EOSDIS project.;We feel that these two unique pieces of technology will play a;important role in a variety of future research and commercial endeavors.;For example, the digital libraries of the future will almost certainly;depend on the availability of scalable, persistent object technology.;Such systems are going to store, retrieve, manipulate, and transmit;objects containing video and pictures as well as text. While;current OODBMS products could be used, these systems are oriented;toward dealing with gigabytes, and not terabytes, of data.;Customizability is equally important. The indexing, retrieval,;and query processing mechanisms needed for a digital library;are very different from those required for a geographic information;system.;Language and Hardware Heterogeneity;Objects in SHORE are typed. SHORE provides a single, language-neutral;type system that is used to define the types of all SHORE objects.;This type system is embodied in the SHORE Data Language (SDL),;which is the language in which SHORE object types are defined.;SDL enhances the OMG data model IDL with support for database;features such as bulk types (e.g., sets and lists) and persistence.;The provision of typed persistent objects simplifies the task of;supporting heterogeneous hardware environments and makes it feasible;to support access to persistent objects from multiple programming;languages, which is a key objective of the SHORE project.;As mentioned earlier, SDL is quite closely related to ODL,;the language-neutral object type definition language that was;recently proposed as a standard by the OODB vendor consortium ODMG.;In terms of its emphasis, however, ODMG has largely concentrated on;providing a standardized interface to existing C++ oriented OODBs.;Our focus is on support for inter-language object sharing within;a large name-space of objects.;Support for Existing, File-based Applications;A major goal of SHORE is to enable applications that currently;use untyped, byte-oriented files for their persistent data,;flattening and un-flattening their data each time it is accessed,;to stop doing so.;Such applications should be able to store their data as typed, structured;objects for more convenient, type-safe, intra- and inter-program data sharing.;Our ultimate hope is that SHORE will displace byte-oriented;file systems such as the Unix file system.;SHORE provides two major services from a file system standpoint. First,;to support object naming and space management in a world with many;persistent objects, SHORE provides a flexible, tree-structured,;Unix-like name-space in which all persistent objects are reachable,;either directly or indirectly. Doing so gives SHORE users;a familiar framework in which to register individual;persistent objects (termed ""registered"" objects), the roots of;large persistent data structures, or bulk sets of unnamed objects (termed;""anonymous"" objects). The realization of this framework involves;several different kinds of SHORE file system objects, including;directories, pools (which are files containing anonymous objects),;symbolic links, and cross references.;SHORE provides two mechanisms to ease the transition of legacy Unix;applications such as compilers, editors, and CAD systems from;traditional byte-stream files to SHORE.;First, for applications that can be re-linked, SHORE provides a standard;Unix-compatible file system interface (e.g. open, close, read,;write, mkdir, chdir,.).;In order to make access to SHORE objects via Unix file system calls;possible, the definer of a SHORE object type can optionally designate one;variable-length byte string or character string attribute of the object as;being the object's ""Unix data"". Programs that attempt to read an object;through SHORE counterparts of the Unix file system calls;will only see this portion of the object. For legacy programs that;wish to do so without being re-linked, it is possible to NFS-mount a;SHORE file system and access the Unix data;contained in its objects directly. This makes it feasible for both;new and old applications to access the same set of objects.;While old applications can only access the ""Unix data"" component;of the object, new applications can define and access other, more;structured, attributes of the object.;Release Information:;Below is the latest time table for the release of SHORE.;These dates are approximate and subject to change.;If you have any questions, contact;shore_support@cs.wisc.edu.; Beta Release (0.9);On May 3, 1995 we had our first beta release.; Beta Release (0.9.3);The second Beta-rlease of Shore (version 0.9.3); is now available (Sept 18, 1995).;It includes improved documentation, more complete;implementations of many SDL features, many bug fixes, and ports to;Solaris, HP-UX, Linux.; Version 1.0;On August 6, 1995 we released Shore, version 1.0.;Gzip'd tar files of the source, documentation and a binary release (sparc and;pentium solaris 2.5), can be found at;;.;Mailing Lists;There are two Shore-related mailing lists:;shore_support@cs.wisc.edu;and;shore_all@cs.wisc.edu;.;shore_support@cs.wisc.edu;This mailing list reaches the Shore development team.;It is for use;by Shore users to submit questions, comments, and bug reports to us.;You cannot subscribe to this mailing list.; shore_all@cs.wisc.edu;This is a mailing list for users of (and those interested in) SHORE.;This list is managed by the listproc software at the UW-Madison;CS department.

This is essentially the inverse projection problem. Existing Structure-From-Motion (SFM) techniques solve this problem by examining multiple images projected from a rigid scene. However SFM has not been used extensively in practice because these techniques are very sensitive to noise, do not accurately model optical projection, or restrict the position of the observer and/or the structure of the scene. My research uses a new technique for solving the inverse projection problem called the Concurrent Projector Model which makes no assumptions about the scene other than it is rigid and no assumptions about the position of the observer. This technique uses a projector based model of projection instead of the camera based model traditionally used in SFM. As a result, the algorithm is defined for any geometric transformation in any dimension, not just 3-D perspective projection. For a given transformation and dimension the algorithm identifies when the inverse projection problem is under-constrained and specifies the minimum number of points and images required to solve it. The Concurrent Projector Model can also examine additional points and images to minimize the types of projection errors that occur in real-world applications by allowing the projectors to approximately intersect.;This technique is currently being applied to the problem of robot navigation and exploration to both determine the position of a robot in an unknown environment and at the same time to map this environment.;Advisor:; Prof. Charles R.

Good problem solving skills distinguish a ""good"" computer programmer from a ""bad"" one - it doesn't matter how familiar or skilled you are in a particular programming language, if you do not understand how to solve the problem then you will not be able to write a computer program for it in any language.;To help you learn problem solving skills and techniques I will assign weekly problem solving exercises. These will be small but non-trivial problems which I will give out each Monday. You should look at the problem and think about it during the week and right down the steps you would go through to solve the problem; i.e. the overall structure of your program. This is primarily an exercise in general problem solving so you do not have to write any FORTRAN code (though you may if you want to and have time) and your solution/algorithm should not even be dependent on a particular programming language such as FORTRAN. We will go over the solution in class the following Monday.;Exercises:;Week 2: Question 16, Pg. 89. Click here for the solution.; Week 3: Question 4, Pg. 147.

Your highest two exam scores will each contribute 25% to your final grade; your lowest exam score will contribute 15%. You must complete and hand in all the assignments to be eligible to receive a passing grade for the course. Final grades for all CS 302 sections are graded on a curve with a mean in the range of 2.8 - 3.0, where A = 4.0; the curve is computed after the final exam is completed.;Exam 1; Thur February 29, 7:15 - 9:15 pm; Exam 2; Wed April 10, 7:15 - 9:15 pm, Rm. 1207 Computer Science; Final; Mon May 13, 7:55 - 9:45 am;Click here to see a list of the current class grades (identifed by student ID only).; Syllabus (tentative);The following topics and sections of the text will be approximately covered each week during the semester. You will only get the most out of this class if you read the relevant sections of the text before coming to class. This way you will be able to ask questions in class about anything that you are unsure of, instead of waiting until you're in the lab trying to work on an assignment to discover you didn't really understand something.;Weeks 1-6 (Mid-Term Exam #1); Weeks 7-11 (Mid-Term Exam #2); Weeks 12-15 (Final Exam); Text and Lecture Notes;Text:;Fortran with Engineering Applications, 5th. edition, by E.

IMPORTANT - the on-line lecture notes are not a substitute for coming to class and only cover what I show on the overhead projector. They do not include any examples or additional notes that I put on the board.

Exams constitute 65% of your final grade so it is very important to do well on them to ensure a good grade, regardless of your performance on the assignments. All exams are approximately two hours long (though you may stay a bit longer if you need extra time) and are closed-book. You only need to bring a pen or pencil to exams - calculators are not necessary or even useful.;Exam Solutions:;Mid-Term Exam #1;Mid-Term Exam #2;There are seven programming assignments (not including Program #0) each contributing 5% to your final grade. All the assignments must be completed and handed in to be eligible to receive a passing grade for the course. You must attempt to complete every programming assignment. If you hand in a program that does not run or will not even compile without errors then it will not be graded and will automatically receive a zero grade and you risk failing the course.;Gradesheets;Handin Directory (how to hand in assignments online); Late Policy;Policy on Academic Misconduct (i.e. cheating);Assignment Specifications:;Program #1, due Monday 2/12/15/96, 9:55 am; Program #2, due Friday 2/23/96, 9:55 am; Program #3, due Wednesday 3/6/96, 9:55 am; Program #4, due Wednesday 3/27/96, 9:55 am; Program #5, due Friday 4/12/96, 9:55 am; Program #6, due Monday 4/29/96, 9:55 am; Program #7, due Friday 5/10/96, 1:00 pm;How to Get Help with Your Assignments:;Consultants:; The consultants in the computer lab can help you with most problems. They wear name tags and are on duty from approximately 8:00 am to 11:00 pm. Consultants can answer short questions about compiler error messages and program syntax, as well as how to login, use the printers, send E-mail, run Netscape, etc.;Click here for more information about the consultants.;;Instructor:; General questions about an assignment or questions that may require a long explanation are best answered by myself. Please see me during office hours or send me E-mail. I am not normally in my office except during office hours because I do my dissertation research from home via a modem. Therefore, if you want to see me outside of office hours please make an appointment first. You can most easily contact me by E-mail because I regularly login and read my E-mail from home.;Click here to send me E-mail.;; Problem Solving Exercises;One of the most important skills you will learn in this class is problem solving. Good problem solving skills distinguish a ""good"" computer programmer from a ""bad"" one - it doesn't matter how familiar or skilled you are in a particular programming language, if you do not understand how to solve the problem then you will not be able to write a computer program for it in any language.;To help you learn problem solving skills and techniques I will assign weekly problem solving exercises. These will be small but non-trivial problems which I will give out each Monday. You should look at the problem and think about it during the week and right down the steps you would go through to solve the problem; i.e. the overall structure of your program. This is primarily an exercise in general problem solving so you do not have to write any FORTRAN code (though you may if you want to and have time) and your solution/algorithm should not even be dependent on a particular programming language such as FORTRAN. Each Friday we will go over the solution in class.;Exercises:;Week 3: Question 16, Pg. 89. Click here for the solution.; Week 4: Question 4, Pg. 147.

The printer room is located across the hall in Rm. 1359.;You may also use your home or dorm computers to write your programs, however you will probably have to purchase your own copy of Microsoft FORTRAN or Lahey Personal FORTRAN (see the inside cover of the textbook).

In particular, I am investigating two techniques to improve;file system performance: application-specific replacement policies for the file;cache, and aggressive prefetching of file data from the disk. I have;developed a system in which the kernel allocates physical pages to individual;applications, and each application is responsible for deciding how to use;its physical pages for caching and prefetching. The system uses a fair;global allocation policy in the kernel, and carefully integrates cache;replacement, prefetching and disk scheduling. A prototype implementation;on uniprocessor systems has demonstrated;that good application-chosen replacement strategies and prefetching information;can significantly improve the I/O performance of many applications.;Currently, I am extending these techniques to parallel systems. I am;developing integrated caching and prefetching algorithms for parallel disk;arrays. In addition, I am investigating the global resource management;problems in operating systems.;Last modified: Wed Apr 24 21:38:49 1996 by Pei Cao;cao@cs.wisc.edu;",faculty,40,1,3580,"[40, 193]" http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~cao/cs736/cs736.html,"CS736 Spring 1996; CS 736: Advanced Operating Systems (Spring 1996); Summary;This course is intended to give you a broad exposure to advanced;operating systems topics.;There are two important components of this course: reading and discussion of;various research papers, and a project involving implementation of an;experimental system.

In the performance area, topics;of current interest include performance tradeoffs and techniques for;object-oriented database systems, design and evaluation of algorithms;related to transaction processing, and scheduling of complex multi-user;database workloads based on user-specified performance goals.;In the next-generation database system area, I have been involved in the;EXODUS extensible DBMS project; I am now involved in SHORE, a project aimed;at developing a scalable repository for the storage and sharing of persistent;objects in a heterogeneous environment. The goal of the SHORE effort, which;is building upon experience from the EXODUS project, is to meet the object;management needs of (and to replace the use of Unix files in) applications;such as CAD/CAM and CASE.;Most recently, I have moved from academia to industry. After twelve great;years as a part of what's become the best academic database systems research;group in the known universe, the time has come for me to tackle some new and;different challenges. I am now working at the IBM Almaden Research Center (the;source of a number of of the papers that I've been teaching to my students for;the past twelve years). My IBM work will be related to objects and databases,;with a significant fraction of my time being spent on a relatively new project;there called Garlic. Garlic is an effort to build a heterogeneous multimedia;information system that allows data living in a variety of repositories to;be queried and manipulated as though it resided in one, homogeneous, object;database. I spent 1993-94 on sabbatical at IBM working on Garlic, continued;to work on it in Madison in 1994-95 (focusing, with a graduate student, on a;query/browser front-end tool called PESTO), and am once again working on the;Garlic project ""on location"" at IBM Almaden.;Recent Publications; ""Extending SQL-92 for OODB Access: Design and Implementation Experience"";(with J.

These;are in the machine rooms on the first floor of the;CS building. I encourage you to use these machines.;If you prefer to use a home computer, you may do so, with certain;restrictions: You must have a C++ compiler on your home machine;;you must log on to your university account often to read email;and get copies of data files; finally, we will require that;you turn in your C++ program electronically (via email) so if you;work at home you must make provisions to download your programs to;your university account and to make sure that they compile and run;with the g++ compiler on the SPARCstations.;I often use electronic mail to notify students of changes in;assignments, hints for programs, etc.;I assume that you will read all;electronic mail that I send.;Late Policy;No late assignment will be accepted.;Assignments must be turned in exactly when they are due.;In order to avoid lateness caused by machine loads, coincident due;dates for several classes, etc., simply be sure to get started right away on;each assignment.;Things are certain to go wrong now and then, so don't wait until the;last minute to start.;Any exceptions must be approved by me, and you will need a very good excuse.;If you get into trouble, see me as soon as possible.;Cheating;The Computer Science department takes a very hard line;stance on cheating.;You are welcome to;communicate with each other on design of algorithms and data;structures, but;there is to be no sharing of code.;You are also expected to learn, understand, and obey the;Computer Systems Lab Policies;governing your computer accounts.;Help;If you are having problems with the course work or programs,;please let me know as early in the semester as possible.;Office Hours Policies;If you need help debugging a program, the best way to get help is to;visit any one of the;CS 367 TA's;during his office hours, taking along a current;hard copy of your program.;My office hours are intended as a time for me to re-explain concepts;that I have presented in class but about which you are still confused,;or to answer your specific questions about course material.;I encourage you to use email as;a reliable way to contact me about any problems; I read and respond to email;several times daily, almost every day of the week.;Program Grading;Programs are graded on all of the following criteria.;Correctness: The program should behave correctly/normally on typical;input. The program should behave as stated in the project;specifications.;Clarity: The program should be easy to read and understand.;(See the notes on style below for more information;about clarity).;Robustness: Correct behavior in extreme or unusual situations.;The program should handle such situations in a reasonable and;logical manner (that is, it should not simply blow up).;Quality of test data: The test data for the program should;demonstrate all facets of the program's capabilities, including;unusual cases.;Efficiency: Avoid unnecessarily inefficient algorithms or constructs.;However, efficiency should never be pursued at the expense of clarity.;Modularity: The program should be modular and should make effective use;of parameters.;Completeness: You should incorporate all information into your;program; there should be no need for any sort of extra (paper);documentation.;Generality:;The program should be as general as possible, subject to consideration;of efficiency and clarity.;You should avoid arbitrary limitations (such as a bound on the size or;complexity of the input) whenever possible.;When limitations are necessary, they should be expressed as defined;constants near the top of the program so that they can be easily changed.;The only numeric literals that should appear in your program are those;values not very likely to change (such as 0, 1, or 3.1415926535).;Style;Use meaningful identifier names.;Use a consistent naming scheme for identifier names.;A suggested convention is as follows; int variable_name;; int function_name(int argument);; const int DEFINED_CONSTANT = 1234;; enum EnumType { VALUE1, VALUE2 };; class ClassName ...;Do not put multiple statements on a single line.;Skip lines between functional groups of code.;Use a clear and consistent indentation style (see the DeWitt notes;for a suggested style).;Indent continued statements (if, loops, ... etc).;Line up {'s and }'s.;Label }'s meaningfully (e.g. ``} // while (!done)'').;External Documentation;This should be included as a long comment at the beginning of your;program. It is addressed to both the typical user and to someone;who wants to know superficially how the program works:;Include your full name and student ID at the beginning of the comment.;Give a general description of what the program does.;Tell how to use the program: how to call it, format of data.;Give limitations, bugs, special features, and assumptions made.;Describe negative as well as positive aspects of the program.;If you don't include negatives we will assume you were unaware of them.;Information included in the assignment about the problem description;need not be repeated, but may be briefly summarized for the first point above.;A statement referring the user to the assignment document is then;sufficient. Note that this only applies to the problem description!;Internal Documentation;There are four main types of internal documentation:;Headers:;Comments at the headers of functions, classes, and major data structures;should describe their purpose, assumptions about their parameters,;and the main outline of any algorithms they use.;Declarations: Comments next to a declaration of a variable or data member;should provide extra information not conveyed by the identifier's;name.;The name of a variable should tell as much about it as is possible without;making it too long;;additional information can be supplied by a comment. For example; int top; // index of last element added to stack;You should use comments to explain parameters as well as local variables.;Within segments of code: Tricky or opaque sections of code should be;avoided, but sometimes they are necessary. In such cases, a comment;can help the reader understand what's going on.;Between segments of code: These comments clarify the top-level outline;of your algorithm.; Using Unix and Vi;Many people working with UNIX for the;first time will find that it takes some time to become;comfortable with it (this is particularly true if your;only previous programming experience is with Pascal using;MacPascal on a MacIntosh.) I strongly urge you to put in;the time early in the semester to become comfortable with;Unix. While this time may be painful, it is time well;spent.;Also, you may wish to attend a UNIX tutorial.;They will be held in rooms 1240 Comp Sci in two sessions on each of the;following days: TBA;You will want to pick up a copy of; CS 1000 before you go.; The Program Development Cycle;The program development cycle in a UNIX environment is:;for (;;) {; edit your program // %vi program.c; compile your program // %g++ -Wall -g program.c; if (there are compilation errors); continue;; run your program // %a.out < inputfile > outputfile; look at your output // %vi outputfile; // or %more outputfile; if (there are no errors); break;; if (you are too tired to continue) {; print a listing to take home; // pr program.c inputfile outputfile | lpr; goto home; }; debug the program; // gdb a.out; // run; // ...; // quit;};you're done! turn in the result; // submission instruction to be given out later; yannis@cs.wisc.edu;Mon Aug 19 17:28:14 CDT 1996;",course,56,2,16175,"[44, 56]" http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~cs367-3/cs367.html,"CS 367; ;CS 367-3: Introduction to Data Structures;(http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~cs367-3/cs367.html, Revised 9/4/96);Fall 1996;James R.

Data structures are the fundamental building;blocks of computer programs. By the end of the course, you should be able to identify situations in which a data structure is necessary, determine the;requirements for the data structure, and select the appropriate data structure from those covered in this course.;Reiterate the concepts of structure programming, abstract data types, and modularity. These principles, which were introduced in CS302, are essential;to writing clear, correct, and maintainable software. As there is a close connection between abstract data types and data structures, this course places;a strong emphasis on applying these principles in all programming exercises.;Teaching Assistants;Wei Zhang and Chin Tang Chin are the teaching assistants (TAs) for;this course (sections 2 and 3).

These notes are far more complete that simple lecture;notes, but they fall short of a true text book (they contain very little narrative text, no exercises, etc.). I am using these notes as a basis for my lectures; as;such, I feel free to skip portions and cover additional material.

This fall, CS838 is a graduate seminar that will examine Java, including the Java;programming language, network security, design of distributed applets, Java virtual machines, and Java implementations (compilers, interpreters, and special;hardware). Other Java-related topics are both welcome and encouraged.;This course will be taugh as a research seminar. First, the professors are not Java experts, but expect to learning along with the students. What you get out of;this course will be experience in studying and developing new ideas, interactioning with colleagues, and new insight into Java. We only plan to lecture for a;few weeks to present an overview of Java. Then students will work on two-month-long group projects. Students will be evaluated on the oral and written;presentation of their project. This offering of CS 838 is NOT a core CS course.;Background Material;There is no text for this course, although there are countless Java books in bookstores. Most of these books were written very quickly and are very;superficial.

Wood,;Computer Architecture News (CAN), August 1993.; Research Summary;My main research goals lie in developing cost-effective computer;architectures that take advantage of rapidly changing technologies. My;research program has two major thrusts:; evaluating the performance,;feasibility, and correctness of new architectures, and; developing new tools and techniques to facilitate this evaluation.;Currently, this research focusses on the following three areas:; multi-paradigm multiprocessors,;which efficiently integrate shared-memory, message-passing, and hybrid;programming paradigms,; a virtual prototyping system, which exploits the similarites;of an existing parallel machine to simulate a hypothetical parallel machine,; and, techniques for understanding and tuning program performance.;Recent results include developing a new interface---called;Tempest---between user-level protocol handlers and system-supplied;mechanisms. Tempest provides the mechanisms that allow programmers,;compilers, and program libraries to implement and use message passing,;transparent shared memory, and hybrid combinations of the two. Tempest;mechanisms are low-overhead messages, bulk data transfer, virtual;memory management, and fine-grain access control. The most novel;mechanism---fine-grain access control---allows user software to tag;blocks (e.g., 32 bytes) as read-write, read-only, or invalid, so the;local memory can be used to transparently cache remote data.;We are exploring alternative ways to support this interface.;The first---called Typhoon---is;a proposed hardware;platform that implements the Tempest mechanisms with a fully-programmable,;user-level processor in the network interface. A reverse-translation;table (RTLB) invokes the network processor when it detects a fine-grain;access fault.;We have simulated Typhoon on the Wisconsin Wind Tunnel and found that;a transparent shared-memory protocol running on Typhoon performs;comparably +/- 30% to an;all-hardware Dir{N}NB cache-coherence protocol for five shared-memory;programs.;We have also developed a new memory system simulation method that;optimizes the common case---cache hits---significantly reducing;simulation time.;Fast-Cache tightly integrates reference generation and simulation by;providing the abstraction of tagged memory blocks: each reference;invokes a user-specified function depending upon the reference type and;memory block state. The simulator controls how references are processed;by manipulating memory block states, specifying a special NULL function;for no action cases. Fast-Cache implements this abstraction by using;binary-rewriting to perform a table lookup before each memory;reference. On a SPARCStation 10, Fast-Cache simulation times are two to;three times faster than a conventional trace-driven simulator that;calls a procedure on each memory reference; simulation times are only;three to six times slower than the original, un-instrumented program.;We are also investigating using Fast-Cache's binary rewriting techniques;to support the Tempest interface on existing hardware platforms.; Last Updated: July 11, 1996;",faculty,75,1,6895,"[92, 147, 229, 242]" http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~dburger/dburger.html,Doug Burger's Home Page;Doug Burger's Home Page;Professional information:;Research summary;Resume/CV;Transcript;Course projects;Advisor;Affiliated projects:;Galileo/SCI;Wisconsin Wind Tunnel;Pages I maintain:;WWW computer architecture;UW computer architecture;SimpleScalar tool set;Generica;SACM;Personal stuff:;About me;Useful links;Photo gallery;Riding the DEMON;Hunting those damn cats;Beware of grad school;,student,76,3,411,"[36, 92, 101]" http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~deboor/cs412.html,"CS412 - Introduction to Numerical Methods;-------------------------------------> last change: 06nov96;;CS412 - Introduction to Numerical Methods;This page contains information for the Fall 1996 CS412 course.; smile; changes on 29oct:;assignment 5 , due 12nov96.;NOTE the CHANGED DUE DATE as well as the slightly changed points for problems;1 and 4.; diary of 29 oct class;;additional material on; residual and error, condition # (29oct); changes on 04nov: Rick Carl's office hour this R is 11-12.; list of errata for the text.; changes on 05nov:; diary of 31 oct class;; diary of 05 nov class;; changes on 06nov: useful email concerning; problem 3 (05nov) UPDATED 06nov.;Since there was a question about the computational complexity of numerical;analysis algorithms, I have posted a; preprint, by one of the foremost;mathematicians of today, on that subject, for those interested in this tricky;topic.;least-squares solution and approximation (05nov); Time and Place: TR 12:55 - 2:15, CS&STAT 1221; Lecturer: Carl de Boor.; email: deboor@cs.wisc.edu; Office hours: WF11-12, R14:30-15:30, 7379 CS&Stat; FINAL EXAM: Thursday 19dec, 2:45p.

The objective;of SHORE is to design, implement, and evaluate a persistent object;system that will serve the needs of a wide variety of target applications;including hardware and software CAD systems, persistent programming;languages, geographic information systems, satellite data repositories,;and multimedia applications. SHORE expands on the basic capabilities;of the widely-used Exodus Storage Manager (developed at Wisconsin,;funded by ARPA) in a number of ways including support for typed;objects, multiple programming languages, a `Unix-like' hierarchical;name space for named objects, and a Unix-compatible interface;to objects with a `text' field. This interface is intended to;ease the transition of applications from the Unix file system;environment to SHORE as existing Unix tools such as vi and cc;will be able to store their data in SHORE objects without modification;(basically a Unix file becomes either a single SHORE object or;the text field of a complex object). SHORE is being targeted at;a wide range of hardware environments, scaling all the way from;individual workstations to heterogeneous client/server networks;to large multiprocessors such as the Intel Paragon. SHORE is a;joint project with Profs. Carey, Naughton, and Solomon.;The Paradise project is attempting to apply the technology developed;as part of the SHORE and Gamma projects (Gamma is a parallel relational;database system developed at the University of Wisconsin) to the;task of storing and manipulating geographic data sets. Currently,;many geographic information systems (GIS) use relational database;systems to hold their data. While such systems are excellent for;managing business data they are a poor match for the modeling;needs of a GIS which must be capable of storing and manipulating;much more complex objects such as polygons and polylines. Instead,;Paradise employs an object-oriented data model, providing a much;better match to the type needs of a GIS. Another significant difference;from current GIS systems is that Paradise employs parallelism;to facilitate executing and processing large data sets such as;satellite images.

The input is a set of images or video;streams, acquired from fixed or mobile cameras around a site,;and the output is a panoramic visualization of the scene in which;a virtual, user-controlled camera can be moved through the environment.;With this technology a user could interactively navigate through;a real environment, controlling a customized path of views of the;site that are not predetermined by the input images. The main research;question is how to adaptively combine a set of basis images to synthesize;new views of the scene without 3D models or 3D scene reconstruction;as an intermediate step. Recently we have developed an innovative;technique, which we call;view morphing,;that takes two basis;images and interpolates a continuous range of in-between images;corresponding to views on the linear path connecting the two camera centers.; Visual Exploration;Computer vision researchers have recently started to investigate how;to actively control the image acquisition process by controlling;camera parameters. We have been studying how to purposefully control the;position and orientation of a camera in order to dynamically adjust;viewpoint based on the appearance of a three-dimensional scene. The;use of real-time viewpoint-control behaviors is important for;solving tasks such as exploring an unknown object in order to find;specific surface markings, building a global model of an unknown;shape, or recognizing an object.;By coordinating simple observer behaviors that change the appearance;of surfaces in a well-defined way, we simplify the image computations;required, make precise the global progress of an algorithm, and;eliminate the need for accurate differential measurements of the;camera motion. We believe that this active approach of moving towards;viewpoints that are closely related to the geometry of the viewed;objects is a very important and general one. We have used this;approach to develop provably-correct algorithms for (1) moving to a;side view of a surface of revolution in order to recover its shape, and;(2) reconstructing the global surface of an unknown smooth,;arbitrarily-shaped object.; Visualization;In the area of visualization we have developed mapping techniques;capable of generating displays of all possible data objects defined in;a user's algorithm, without the need for user-defined, type-specific;graphics display procedures. This capability for displaying;arbitrary combinations of an algorithm's data objects in a common;frame of reference, coupled with interactive control of algorithm;execution, provides a powerful way to understand algorithm behavior,;especially interactive visual experiments with scientific data;analysis algorithms. We have implemented a system called VIS-AD for;experimenting with these techniques and have used it for visualizing;intermediate and final results of data analysis algorithms for;problems such as discriminating clouds in satellite images.;Recent Publications; S.

To me, the essence of intelligence;is the ability to learn and adapt, to learn to act;appropriately in order to reach our goals.;Reinforcement learning treats this problem in the general case where;the system has outputs to control actions that can change its environment,;and it has inputs through which it senses its environment. It also has an input;for reinforcement, which is a weak kind of feedback which can be expressed as;a positive or negative number. So, instead of having a teacher to present the;system with input/output pairs, the system instead receives ""thumbs up"" or;""thumbs down"" at irregular intervals.;My work has focussed on how the need to;distinguish good actions from bad ones can direct the process of building a;good representation of the environment in terms of relevant, or;important features. (See my note on;importance-based;feature extraction). Currently I am applying this notion of;importance to the problem of learning to balance the need to;explore the world with the need to perform optimally (exploration vs. exploitation).;I am also investigating ways of using importance to make the learning;process more efficient by allowing the system to specify the starting points for;its learning experiments;(active learning). My goal is to develop a better understanding of intelligent;adaptation. I hope that this will provide a basis for intelligent action which;will also benefit from knowledge-based and task-based work.

Specifically, we are studying what the;relationship between the processor and main memory will be in future;systems: completely separate, as today, or integrated (and if so, to what extent).;Processing capability and bit storage may merge in at least two ways.;Because of increasing off-chip penalties (in issuable instructions) and/or;limited off-chip bandwidth, designers may place more and more capacity;on the processor chip and module, until eventually a sizable fraction;of main memory resides on-chip (represented by the arrow labeled MOP;in the above diagram). A different possibility is the migration of;processor capability onto the DRAM chips themselves, eventually;obviating the central processor (see the IRAM arrow above).;Our specific research currently focuses on the following areas:;Examining the performance impact of large memory latencies and;limited memory bandwidth in current and future microprocessor-based systems;Performance modeling of the various design points along the;processor/memory (P/M) integration spectrum;Cache hierarchy design for P/M integrated systems;Design of main memory banks in a P/M integrated system;Program execution in systems with multiple integrated chips;(DataScalar architectures);Galileo-specific publications:;Exploiting Optical Interconnects to Eliminate Serial Bottlenecks;Doug Burger and James R.

Chad Lane;[hcl@cs.wisc.edu];Announcements:; Program 7 is on-line and due Tues Nov 12.; IMPORTANT! You need to get the; new version of tribble.h (as of 11/4) before you compile. The; problem was that the enumerated types were not recognized outside of; the class. They must be declared inside the public section of the class.; As a result, the private section at the top needed to bumped down to the; private section at the bottom. This is shown in the new version.; Also note the definition of the RandomIntInRange() is; defined in-line so that you will not need a corresponding; function body in tribble.cpp. You can just call it from within the; class, and it will work.; In the file ""prog06.cpp"" I forgot to change the enumerated; type values to uppercase. You need to do this before you; compile everything. I have changed the; on-line copy of prog06.cpp if you just want to overwrite your; obsolete copy. Also, it used to say ""#include prog05.h"", so I changed; it to ""prog06.h""; You might also want to check the help link below again... something; was added.; Here are some Comments and; Suggestions for Program 6.; It is very important that you use the same name throughout; program 6 for the project parts (name of the project,; directory name, file names, etc.). I updated the program; description to be consistent with ""prog06."" If you saw; the old version (that used ""prog05""), please make sure; you are consistent with your naming. The only discrepency; is with the sample run in Chris Weaver's public directory; where it is called prog05, but this shouldn't matter for; your program (it is just a sample).; Program 6 is on-line and ready. It is crucial that you read; the entire assignment and understand class basics before you; attempt it, and that you get an early start. It is not; hard, but will require some time to piece everything; together. Bring questions to class on Tuesday!; About midterm grades for freshmen... you either got a B (which; means your doing fine), or a D (which means you're not doing so; great).

Memory system design is important,;because it largely determines a computer's sustained performance. My;work emphasizes quantitative analysis (often requiring new evaluation;techniques) of system-level (not just hardware) performance.;Much of my recent work is part of the Wisconsin Wind;Tunnel Projectwith Profs. Larus and Wood and many;students. The project expects most future massively-parallel computers;will be built from workstation-like nodes and programmed in high-level;parallel languages--like HPF--that support a shared address space in;which processes uniformly reference data. Our research seeks to;develop a consensus about the middle-level interface--below languages;and compilers and above system software and hardware. We have recently;proposed the Tempest interface that enables programmers,;compilers, and program libraries to implement and use message passing,;transparent shared memory, and hybrid combinations of the two. We are;developing Tempest implementations on a Thinking Machines CM-5, a;cluster of workstations (COW), and hypothetical hardware platforms.;The Wisconsin Wind Tunnel project is so named because we use our tools;to cull the design space of parallel supercomputers in a manner similar;to how aeronautical engineers use conventional wind tunnels to design;airplanes.;Other recent work with Madhu Talluri;targets improving translation lookaside buffer (TLB);and page table performance by clustering aligned groups of base pages.;Options require changes to hardware only (complete-subblocked TLBs),;operating system only (clustered page tables), or both (superpages;and partial-subblocked TLBs).;See our;ASPLOS;and;SOSP;papers.;A Sampler of Recent Papers;The Wisconsin Wind Tunnel Project: An Annotated Bibliography,;Mark D.

This work is the result of a collaboration at the;University of Wisconsin-Madison between;Prof. Olvi L. Mangasarian;of the Computer Sciences Department and;Dr. William H. Wolberg;of the departments of Surgery and Human Oncology.;Here is a copy of the;press release;distributed at the American Cancer Society Science Writers seminar in;March of 1994. It provides a good overview of this research.;Table of Contents; Diagnosis; Prognosis; Bibliography; Citation in the Popular Press; Local Related Links; Other Related Links;Diagnosis;This work grew out of the desire by Dr. Wolberg to accurately diagnose;breast masses based solely on a Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA). He;identified nine visually assessed characteristics of an FNA sample which;he considered;relevant to diagnosis. In collaboration with Prof. Mangasarian and;two of his graduate students, Rudy Setiono and;Kristin Bennett, a;classifier was constructed using the multisurface method (MSM) of pattern;separation on these nine features that;successfully diagnosed 97% of new cases. The resulting data set is;well-known as the;Wisconsin Breast Cancer Data.;The image analysis work began in 1990 with the addition of;Nick Street;to the research team. The goal was to diagnose the sample based on a;digital image of a small section of the FNA slide. The results of;this research have been consolidated into a software system known as;Xcyt, which is currently used by Dr. Wolberg in his clinical;practice. The diagnosis process is now performed as follows:; An FNA is taken from the breast mass. This material is then;mounted on a microscope slide and stained to highlight the cellular;nuclei. A portion of the slide in which the cells are;well-differentiated is then scanned using a digital camera and a;frame-grabber board.; The user then isolates the individual nuclei using Xcyt.;Using a mouse pointer, the user draws the approximate boundary of;each nucleus. Using a computer vision approach known as ""snakes"",;these approximations then converge to the exact nuclear boundaries.;This interactive process takes between two and five minutes per slide.;Here is an image showing;Xcyt in use.; Once all (or most) of the nuclei have been isolated in this;fasion, the program computes values for each of ten characteristics of;each nuclei, measuring size, shape and texture. The mean, standard;error and extreme values of these features are computed, resulting in;a total of 30 nuclear features for each sample.; Based on a training set of 569 cases, a linear classifier was;constructed to differentiate benign from malignant samples. This;classifier consists of a single separating plane in the space of three;of the features: Extreme Value of Area, Extreme Value of Smoothness,;and Mean Value of Texture. By projecting all the cases onto the;normal of this separating plane, approximate;probability densities of;the benign and;malignant points were constructed. These allow a simple Bayesian;computation of probability of malignancy for new patients. These;densities are shown to the patient, allowing her to judge the;""confidence"" of her diagnosis by comparison to hundreds of previous samples.;To date, this system has correctly diagnosed 176 consecutive new;patients (119 benign, 57 malignant). In only eight of those cases did;Xcyt return a ""suspicious"" diagnosis (that is, an estimated;probability of malignancy between 0.3 and 0.7).;A small subset of the source images used in this research can be found; here. These are very good;test cases for;image segmentation or object recognition algorithms. If your pet;segmentation algorithm can automatically identify all of the nuclei in;these images, please email me (street@cs.wisc.edu) and let's work together.;Prognosis;The second problem considered in this research is that of prognosis,;the prediction of the long-term behavior of the disease. We have;approached prognosis as a function-approximation problem, using input;features -- including those computed by Xcyt;-- to predict a;time of recurrence in malignant patients, using right-censored data.;Our solution is termed;the Recurrence Surface Approximation method (RSA), and utilizes a linear;program to construct a surface which predicts time of recurrence for;new patients. By examining the actual recurrence of those training cases;with similar predicted recurrence times, we can plot the probability of;disease-free survival for various times (out to 10 years) for an;individual patient. This capability has been incorporated into;Xcyt and an example is shown;here.;These survival curves plot the probability of disease-free survival versus;time (in years).;The black disease-free survival curve represents all patients in our;original study; the red curve represents the probability of;disease-free survival for the sample case. This particular case therefore;has an above-average prognosis, with a probability of being disease-free;after 10 years equal to about 80%.;The RSA procedure can also be used to compare the predictive power of;various prognostic factors. Our results indicate that precise,;detailed cytological information of the type provided by Xcyt;gives better prognostic accuracy than the traditional factors Tumor;Size and Lymph Node Status. If corroborated by other researchers,;this result could remove the need for the often painful axillary lymph;node surgery.;Chronological Bibliography;Linked papers are provided in postscript format; if you don't have a;postscript viewer, you can download the file (e.g., shift-click in Netscape);and print it.

These formulations however could fail;on sets that were not separable by a surface linear in its parameters.;A Multisurface Method (MSM) [68,93];avoided this difficulty. MSM separates 2 disjoint finite point sets in;n-dimensional Euclidean space as follows:; Choose 2 parallel planes in n-dimensional Euclidean space; as close together so that only the region between the two planes; contains points from both sets (i.e. the regions NOT between the; 2 parallel planes contain only points of 1 set or no points).; Discard the points in the regions not between the 2 parallel planes.; Repeat the process on the points between the 2 parallel planes, until; the region between the 2 parallel planes contains no points or very; few points.;;Multisurface Method Tree (MSM-T),;a variant on the Multisurface Method was developed in;[92a], [92b], [93].;Let A and B be finite disjoint point sets in n-dimensional Euclidean;space.;The goal of MSM-T is to;determine a sequence of planes in n-dimensional Euclidean;space that separate the sets A and B as follows:; Determine a plane in n-dimensional Euclidean space that; minimizes the average ""distances"" of misclassified points. A point from; set A is misclassified if it lies on the side of the separating; plane assigned to B.; Similarly, a point from set B is misclassified if it lies; on the side of the separating plane assigned to A.; If the regions assigned to A and B contain only (or; mostly) points of the set A or B, then stop.; Otherwise, generate another; error-minimizing plane (in 1.) in this region.;The sequence of planes generated can be viewed as a decision tree. For each;node in the tree, the best split of the points reaching that node is found;by solving the LP in 1, above. The node is split into 2 branches, and the;same procedure is applied until there are only (or mostly) points of one;set at the node. This linear programming approach can also be viewed as;training a neural network with 1 hidden layer;(see [93]).;MSM-T has been shown to learn concepts as well or better than more traditional;learning methods such as C4.5 and CART. It also has an advantage over;artificial neural network (ANN) methods such as backpropagation in;that training proceeds much faster (see [92a]).;Implementations of MSM-T;;MSM-T has been implemented in C using the MINOS numerical;optimization package by Nick Street and Kristin Bennett.

The domains of these;applications include financial management, historical analysis,;economic and social sciences, metereology, medical sciences and;biological sciences. Existing relational databases are inadequate in;this regard; data collections are treated as sets, not sequences.;Consequently, expressing sequence queries is tedious, and evaluating;them is inefficient.;Databases should;model the data using the abstraction of sequences ,;allow data sequences to be queried in a declarative manner ,;utilizing the ordered semantics;take advantage of the unique opportunities available for query;optimization and evaluation;integrate sequence data with relational data, so that users can;store and query a combination of relation and sequences;These requirements serve as the goals of the SEQ project.;Various kinds of sequences need to be supported, temporal sequences being the;most important kind. Queries should be expressible using notions like;""next"" and ""previous"" which are natural when considering sequences.;These queries should be optimized so that they can be evaluated efficiently.;These issues need to be studied in theory, and then a database system needs;to be built that demonstrates the feasibility of the theoretical ideas.;Project Status;The current status of the project is:;We have defined the SEQ data model that can support;most important kinds of sequence data. We have also defined algebraic;query operators that can be composed to form sequence queries (analogous;to the composition of relational algebra operators to form relation queries).;We have described how sequence queries can be efficiently processed,;and have identified various optimization techniques.;We use a sequence query language Sequin that can;declaratively express queries over sequences. A Sequin;query can include embedded expressions in a relational query language like;SQL, or vice-versa.;We are building a disk-based database system to demonstrate the;feasibility of our proposals. The system implements the SEQ;model using a nested complex object architecture. It is built over the;SHORE storage manager and can process several megabytes of data.;Relations and sequences are supported in an integrated and extensible;manner.;Motivating Example of a Sequence Query;A weather monitoring system records information about various meteorological;phenomena. There is a sequentiality in the occurrence of these phenomena; the;various meteorological events are sequenced by the time at which they are;recorded. A scientist asks the query:; ""For which volcano eruptions did;the most recent earthquake have a strength greater than 7.0 on the Richter;scale?"".;If this query is to be expressed in a relational query language like SQL,;complex features like groupby clauses, correlated subqueries and aggregate;functions are required. Further, a conventional relational query optimizer;would not find an efficient query execution plan, even given the knowledge;that the Earthquakes and Volcano relations are sorted by time.;However a very efficient plan exists, if one models the data as sequences;ordered by time. The two sequences can be scanned in lock step;(similar to a sort merge join). The most recent earthquake record scanned;can be stored in a temporary buffer. Whenever a volcano record is;processed, the value of the most recent earthquake record stored in the;buffer is checked to see if its strength was greater than 7.0, possibly;generating an answer. This query can therefore be processed with a single;scan of the two sequences, and using very little memory. The key to such;optimization is the sequentiality of the data and the query.;Data Model;The details of the SEQ data model are;described in a published paper (click here;for postscript version). Here we present the gist of it.;The basic model of a sequence is a set of records mapped to an ordered;domain of ``positions''.;This many-to-many relationship between records and;positions can be viewed in two dual but distinct ways: as a set of records;mapped to each position, or as a set of positions mapped to each record.;These two views are called ``Positional'' and ``Record-Oriented'' respectively,;and each gives rise to a set of query operators based on that view.;Queries on sequences could require operators of either or both flavors.;The Record-Oriented operators are similar to relational;operators and include various kinds of joins (overlap, containment, etc) and;aggregates. Such operators have been extensively explored by researchers;in the temporal database community.;The Positional operators include Next, Previous, Offset, Moving;Aggregates, etc. Further operators allow ``zooming'' operations on;sequences by means of collapsing and expanding the ordering domains;associated with the sequence. For instance, a daily sequence could be;``zoomed out'' (i.e.collapsed) to a weekly sequence, or ``zoomed in'';(i.e. expanded) to an hourly sequence.;The last part of the model deals with operations on groups (i.e. sets) of;sequences. The advantage is that this makes it easy to model queries;involving sequence collections (which is the case in many real-world;situations). All the sequence operators are extended to work with groups;of similar sequences, instead of with single sequences. This extension;of the SEQ model indicates that a practical implementation of;SEQ would probably involve a nested complex object system.; Sequin Query Language;We have devised a query language called Sequin using;which declarative sequence queries can be specified. The language;is similar in flavor to SQL, except that the inputs to queries;as well as the results of queries are sequences. Click; here for a description of the Sequin;language with examples.;Optimization Techniques;We have proposed new optimization techniques for sequence queries;involving Positional operators. There are existing techniques that;have been proposed for queries with Record-Oriented operators.;Our optimizations use query transformations, meta--data, and caching of;intermediate results to efficiently evaluate a query. An optimal query;evaluation plan can be generated using an algorithm that relies on cost;estimates. One of the important observations is that accessing sequence data;in a single stream is probably very efficient, and evaluation strategies;should take this into account.;The details of the optimization techniques are;described in a published paper (click here;for postscript version).;System Development;The SEQ database system has a client-server;architecture, supporting multiple clients via;a multi-threaded server. The server is built on;top of the SHORE;storage manager. Both Sequin;and a subset of SQL are supported as query languages;which can be embedded inside each other. The data model;is a nested complex object model that allows arbitrary;levels of nesting of relations inside sequences and vice;versa. The system is also extensible, providing support;for new data types, new ordering domains, user-defined functions,;new storage implementations and new query languages.

We have developed a powerful clustering algorithm called; BIRCH;for large datasets and a visual data exploration tool called; DEVise;as part of the; NEXT!;project.;A long-standing research interest is the extension of relational database;query languages with logic programming features;such as structured terms and recursion, and the use of;arithmetic constraints to specify data and queries more;compactly and efficiently.;An ongoing project involves the continued development and use of the CORAL;deductive system. The evaluation is based upon bottom-up fixpoint;evaluation techniques,;and several optimizations are applied to make it efficient;across a broad range of programs.; Research Projects:; CORAL; C.O.D.; NEXT!; PIQ; Ph.D. Graduates;S.

The objective is to create;tools that provide powerful language-specific program-manipulation;operations. In particular, my work has explored how program slicing;can serve as the basis for such program-manipulation operations.;The slice of a program with respect to a set of program elements;S is;a projection of the program that includes only program elements that;might affect (either directly or transitively) the values of the;variables used at members of S. Slicing allows one to find;semantically meaningful decompositions of programs, where the;decompositions consist of elements that are not textually contiguous.;Program slicing is a fundamental operation that can aid in solving;many software-engineering problems. For instance, it has applications;in program understanding, maintenance, debugging, testing,;differencing, specialization, reuse, and merging.;The projects that my co-workers and I are carrying out are aimed at;improving the underlying technology for program slicing (and related;operations),;implementing program slicers,;developing methods for using slicing in software-engineering tools, and;building slicing-based program-manipulation tools.;(Click;here;for the home page of the Wisconsin Program Slicing Project.);Recently, we established some unexpected connections between;interprocedural dataflow analysis and our previous work on;interprocedural program slicing.;In particular, we showed that a large class of interprocedural;dataflow-analysis problems can be solved by transforming;them into a special kind of graph-reachability problem.;This graph-reachability problem can be solved precisely in polynomial time;by the algorithm originally developed for interprocedural slicing.;I am also interested in the subject of incremental algorithms.;By an incremental algorithm,;I mean an algorithm that makes use of the solution to one problem;instance to find the solution to a ``nearby'' problem instance.;Categorized Index to Publications;Program Slicing, Differencing, Merging, etc.;Overview;[icse92];Slicing;[dagstuhl96];[fse94];[slicing_patent];David Binkley's Thesis;[acta91];[toplas90] (also [pldi88]);Chopping;[fse95b];Differencing;[differencing91];Wuu Yang's Thesis;Merging;[tosem95];[tosem92] (also [sigsoft90]);David Binkley's Thesis;Wuu Yang's Thesis;[iwscm89];[toplas89] (also [popl88a], [esop88], and [iwsvcc88]);Algebra of slices (and applications to program merging);[scp91] (also [esop90]);[ccpsd91];[amast91];[npfo_submission];Semantics and slicing;[tr900];[ccipl89];[tr890];[popl88b];Other applications of slicing;[dagstuhl96];[pepm95a];Implemented slicing system;[prog_integration_system];[prog_integration_manual];[tr819];Note: the system described in these papers handles a small subset;of Pascal.;The system is distributed under license, which you may obtain by clicking;here.;We are currently retargeting the implementation to handle C programs, and;expect to distribute a system that supports slicing, chopping, and;differencing (but probably not integration) of C programs in 1996.;Miscellaneous;[tr947];Ph.D. Theses;David Binkley's Thesis;Wuu Yang's Thesis;Phil Pfeiffer's Thesis;Interprocedural Dataflow Analysis;Demand IDFA via bottom-up logic programming and the magic-sets transformation;[ald94] (also [cc94]);Exhaustive and Demand IDFA via graph reachability;[tr1283] (also [fse95a]);[popl95];[diku94];IDFA using more than graph reachability;[tcs_ide_paper] (also [fase95]);PTIME completeness of IDFA;[acta_paper];Alias Analysis, Pointer Analysis, and Shape Analysis;[rsw96];[dagstuhl96];[tr1323] (also [popl96] and [tr1276]);[pepm95b];[pfeiffer_thesis];[sigplan89];Language-Based Program-Development Environments; [fse96]; [dagstuhl92]; Synthesizer Generator Book; Synthesizer Generator Manual; [computer87] (also [lape92]); [popl86]; T.

Scout;Services is a project of the InterNIC;and is supported by the National Science;Foundation. Net Scout Services supports Internet users in the;higher-education community by providing timely information about the best;resources and tools on the Internet. Our goal is to help researchers and;educators use the Internet effectively in their work. Each week we filter;hundreds of items about the Internet, edit and organize the most;important, and present the information in multiple usable formats.; Services include the Scout Report, the Scout Toolkit, Net-happenings, and coming soon;the Scout Sprouts Report, a newsletter written by kids for kids.;Over 35,000 people receive the Scout Report each week via email, and;thousands more read it on the Web. The Scout Report is an annotated;listing of the best new and newly discovered Internet resources and tools,;and it is the only publication of its kind devoted to the research and;education community. The Scout Report is very selective in the items;included in each issue. Over 10,000 people receive Net-happenings;postings every weekday, and again, thousands more read it via the Web or;the newsgroup each day. See the Net Scout Services page for more;information on these and other services.; Professional Background; I have been involved in nation-wide Internet projects since 1989 when;I joined Merit, Inc., in Ann Arbor, the organization that managed the;NSFNET backbone project from 1987-1995. I worked in the Information;Services division of the project, and spent three years speaking to;national and international higher-education audiences about the Internet;and its resources. I also developed and produced the Merit Network Seminar;Series, the first national seminar series focused on the needs of Internet;end-users.; Later I became the Director of Network Information Services for;CERFnet, a respected Internet provider based in San Diego. While there I;co-wrote the proposal which resulted in the award of part of the InterNIC;project under a 5 year cooperative agreement with the National Science;Foundation (NSF). In the third year of the agreement, NSF terminated the;portion of the InterNIC based in San Diego, but chose to continue the work;of the Internet Scout. At that time I elected to relocate to Wisconsin and;requested that NSF approve the relocation of the Scout project to the;Computer Sciences department at UW - Madison, to which they heartily;agreed.; Future Plans for Scout Services;At this time the Scout Services staff includes Jack Solock, Special;Librarian, and myself. During May the project will expand with the;addition of 2 FTE, including an open System;Administrator position and an open Special;Librarian position. On June 6 Matthew Livesey will join the staff as a;Project Assistant. Goals for the new staff will include expansion of the;Scout Toolkit and the addition of discipline-specific services, such as;Scout Reports and Web pages devoted to specific areas of study.;During 1996 Scout Services will also branch into one or more research;areas in collaboration with InterNIC Support Services and with groups at;UW-Madison and other U.S. campuses. Potential research topics include;network information discovery and retrieval (NIDR), and;discipline-oriented information gathering and publication. Depending on;the nature of the research, additional staff will be hired and will;include;computer science researchers at the graduate and undergraduate levels.; For More Information; Visit our Web site to find out more about Scout Services or to join any of;our mailing lists.

The period trace is shown;superimposed on the error surface from which it was recovered.;Real repeating motions tend not to be perfectly even, i.e., the period varies;slightly from one cycle to the next, because of physically important changes;in the scene. A generalization of period is defined for cyclic motions;that makes periodic variation explicit. This representation, called the; period trace, is compact and purely temporal, describing the evolution;of an object or scene without reference to spatial quantities such as;position or velocity.

A major focus is improving the dialog between human;teachers and machine learners. Traditionally, this interaction is limited to;the teacher providing labelled training examples to the machine. Toward the;goal of widening the ``communication pipeline'' between human and machine, we;have been developing a language for providing, in a natural manner and at any;time, general-purpose advice to a machine learner. In our approach, the human;advice-giver observes the behavior of the learner and occasionally makes;suggestions, expressed in a simple language. Based on techniques developed in;our work on knowledge-based neural networks, these instructions are inserted;directly into learner. Subsequent connectionist (neural network) learning;further integrates and refines the advice.;Currently, we are extending the language used to advise our learning algorithms,;studying new ways of incorporating this advice into neural networks,;investigating the extraction of human-comprehensible rules from trained neural networks,;and developing methods for choosing good representations for training examples.;We are also developing parallel algorithms,;on the department's Condor system and our CM-5 computer,;for machine learning and computational biology.;Shavlik (1992);and (1996);provide an overview of our approach to knowledge-based neural networks.;Recent developments appear in the papers referenced on this page, as well;as in the ""home pages"" of the students listed below.; PhD Students;; Carolyn Allex;; Kevin Cherkauer;; Mark Craven (graduated September 1996);; Tina Eliassi-Rad; Eric Gutstein (graduated June 1993);; Richard Maclin (graduated August 1995);; David Opitz (graduated August 1995);; Geoffrey Towell (graduated October 1991);; Selected Recent Publications;Click;here to see our recent titles and abstracts;(you can also grab all our abstracts in one;file;or directly access;our ftp directory of postscript versions of recent papers.; Maclin, R. & Shavlik, J.

With plenty of transistors available;on a chip, the challenge is to use these resources to get;the highest possible performance when executing a sequential program.;A target that we have set for ourselves is to sustain the execution of;over 10 instructions per cycle,;for ordinary non-numeric application programs.;My research group is investigating several issues that need;to be resolved before our goals can be achieved.;We are studying and characterizing the;nature of instruction-level parallelism in non-numeric;application programs in order to understand the available parallelism and;how it could be exploited.;The bulk of my group's research effort is expended in continuing the;development of the; Multiscalar processing model,;a novel paradigm for exploiting ILP.;Currently we are developing the Multiscalar compiler, and;carrying out detailed simulation studies to assess;the potential of the Multiscalar concept.;Current Graduate Students; Todd Austin; Scott Breach; Andreas Moshovos; T.N.

No prior computer programming experience is required and only a basic knowledge of computers is assumed. The material covered will enable you to write simple computer programs to solve engineering problems in elementary courses. All programming is done in FORTRAN. This course is intended for students who received little or no programming instruction in high school.;This section is taught entirely in the FORTRAN programming language and is intended primarily for engineering students and non-computer science majors.

This course is Credit/No Credit only. There are no tests or exams.; 100% - Assignments (4 @ 24% each + 1 for 4%); Syllabus (tentative);The following topics and sections of the text will be approximately covered each week during the semester. You will only get the most out of this class if you read the relevant sections of the text before coming to class. This way you will be able to ask questions in class about anything that you are unsure of, instead of waiting until you're in the lab trying to work on an assignment to discover you didn't really understand something.;Weeks 1-8; Text and Lecture Notes;Text:;Fortran with Engineering Applications, 5th. edition, by E.

Important - the on-line lecture notes are not a substitute for coming to class. They do not include any examples or additional notes that I put on the board (except for Week1). You are responsible for all the material covered in class.;Week1;Week2; Programming Assignments;There are four programming assignments each contributing 25% to your final grade. You must attempt to complete every programming assignment. If you hand in a program that does not run or will not even compile without errors then it will get a very low mark (check the gradesheets) and you risk failing the course.;Gradesheets;What to do in DOS/Fortran (and how to hand in assignments online); Late Policy;Policy on Academic Misconduct (i.e. cheating);Assignment Specifications:;Program0, due Friday 11/1/96, 5:00pm; Program1, due Wednesday 11/13/96, 5:00pm;How to Get Help with Your Assignments:;Consultants:; The consultants in the computer lab can help you with most problems. They wear name tags and are on duty from approximately 8:00 am to 11:00 pm. Consultants can answer short questions about compiler error messages and program syntax, as well as how to login, use the printers, send E-mail, run Netscape, etc.;Click here for more information about the consultants.;;Instructor:; General questions about an assignment or questions that may require a long explanation are best answered by myself. Please see me during office hours or send me E-mail. I am not normally in my office except during office hours because I do my research from home via a modem. Therefore, if you want to see me outside of office hours please make an appointment first. You can most easily contact me by E-mail because I regularly login and read my E-mail from home. If you mail from Netscape, make sure to include your name and e-mail address, as they don't show up for me, so I won't know who mailed me and be able to respond otherwise.;Click here to send me E-mail.;; Problem Solving Exercises;One of the most important skills you will learn in this class is problem solving. Good problem solving skills distinguish a ""good"" computer programmer from a ""bad"" one - it doesn't matter how familiar or skilled you are in a particular programming language, if you do not understand how to solve the problem then you will not be able to write a computer program for it in any language.;To help you learn problem solving skills and techniques I will assign weekly problem solving exercises. These will be small but non-trivial problems which I will give out each Monday. You should look at the problem and think about it during the week and right down the steps you would go through to solve the problem; i.e. the overall structure of your program. This is primarily an exercise in general problem solving so you do not have to write any FORTRAN code (though you may if you want to and have time) and your solution/algorithm should not even be dependent on a particular programming language such as FORTRAN. We will go over the solution in class the following Monday.;Exercises:; Computer Lab;You will be using the Vectra lab in Rm. 1350 Computer Science & Statistics containing Hewlett-Packard Vectra's running Microsoft Windows and Microsoft FORTRAN. This lab is open from 7:00 am to 1:00 am seven days a week except certain holidays. The printer room is located across the hall in Rm. 1359. You have a quota of 300 pages on which; to print. Once you exceed that quota you must contact the lab either by e-mail or by going to room 2310 during office hours (they prefer e-mail) to pay to increase your quota.;Beware: Some of the machines in the Vectra lab aren't configured correctly. In particular, the machines along the wall closest to the outside;hallway, towards the left-hand part of the room. Try to avoid those if you can.;You may also use your home or dorm computers to write your programs, however you will probably have to purchase your own copy of Microsoft FORTRAN or Lahey Personal FORTRAN (see the inside cover of the textbook). You may also work in any of the other computer labs on campus, however most do not have FORTRAN compilers (please see me first before using the CAE lab).;The software you will be using in the lab includes:;Microsoft Windows and MS-DOS;E-mail;Netscape; Other Pointers of Interest; CS 110 Home Page; Jeff Lampert's Home Page; Computer Sciences Department Home Page; Starting Points for Internet Exploration; Lycos (search the World-Wide-Web by keyword);; Dilbert (comic relief for those long nights before an assignment is due);Copyright © 1996 Modified from Gareth S.
