This paper presents an AI-based library system for software reuse, called AIRS, that allows a developer to browse a software library in search of components that best meet some stated requirement. A component is described ...

In performing regularized set operations on two solids, the most difficult step is boundary classification, in which the boundaries of each solid are split into portions that are inside, outside, or on the surface of the ...

The motivation of this thesis is to perform research in the arena of discrete tradeoff analysis. There are two fundamental aspects to the problem domain to be be studied. The first involves modeling the manner in which the ...

Most practical work on AI planning systems during the last fifteen years has been based on hierarchical task network (HTN) decomposition, but until now, there has been very little analytical work on the properties of HTN ...

Integrating CAD and CAM applications, one major problems is how to interpret CAD information in a manner that makes sense for CAM. Our goal is to develop a general approach that can be used with a variety of CAD and CAM ...

In this paper we discuss some initial results on the adaptive tracking of MIMO nonlinear systems which do not have a well defined vector relative degree. First, we consider systems that are right-invertible with linear ...

Two new pattern matching algorithms based on the Boyer-Moore algorithm are presented. Their performance is compared to that of earlier relevant variants in terms of the number of character comparisons and the required ...

The guided random search techniques, genetic algorithms and simulated annealing, are very promising strategies, and both techniques are analogs from physical and biological systems. Through genetic algorithms, the simulation ...

Computational micromagnetics in three dimensions is of increasing interest with the development of magnetostrictive sensors andactuators. In solving the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation, the governing equation of ...

Despite the well established benefits of using finite element methods, commercially available finite element packages have not received wide-spread application to the analysis of highway bridges. This is because they do ...
