Factored Mdp Elicitation And Plan Display, Krol Kevin Mathias, Casey Lengacher, Derek Williams, Austin Cornett, Alex Dekhtyar, Judy Goldsmith
Computer Science and Software Engineering
The software suite we will demonstrate at AAAI ’06 was designed around planning with factored Markov decision processes (MDPs). It is a user-friendly suite that facilitates domain elicitation, preference elicitation, planning, and MDP policy display. The demo will concentrate on user interactions for domain experts and those for whom plans are made.

Computer Science and Software Engineering
The project described in this paper originated with an observation by the AI group at the University of Kentucky, that, individually, stochastic planning and constraint satisfaction are well-studied topics that resulted in efficient software, but stochastic planning in the presence of constraints on the domains and actions is an open area of investigation.
We were interested in an advising scenario, and chose the US social welfare system, a.k.a. “Welfare to Work” as our test domain. This required computer scientists to learn more than expected about social science as well as the local welfare system. This paper discusses the discipline specific …

Physics
After an introduction on the various experimental techniques to be adopted in searches for double beta decay, the new approach based on the use of cryogenic low temperature detectors is described. The present results are reported on the limit for neutrinoless double beta decay of n130Te obtained with the large bolometric detector CUORICINO. This setup consists of 44 cubic crystals of natural TeOn2 with 5 cm sides and 18 crystals of 3 × 3 × 6 cmn3. Four of these latter crystals are made with isotopically enriched materials: two in n128Te and two …

Physics
Measurements of two-particle correlations on angular difference variables η1−η2 (pseudorapidity) and ϕ1−ϕ2 (azimuth) are presented for all primary charged hadrons with transverse momentum 0.15≤pt≤2 GeV/c and |η|≤1.3 from Au-Au collisions at √sNN=130 GeV. Large-amplitude correlations are observed over a broad range in relative angles where distinct structures appear on the same-side and away-side (i.e., relative azimuth less than π/2 or greater than π/2). The principal correlation structures include that associated with elliptic flow plus a strong, same-side peak. It is hypothesized that the latter results from correlated hadrons associated with semi-hard parton scattering in the early stage of the heavy-ion …

Geotorrent: Optimizing Gis Web Services For Interactive Educational Use, Jeffrey A. Bergamini, Michael Haungs
Computer Science and Software Engineering
Large online geospatial datasets for use with GIS are increasingly available and have many uses, including study in numerous academic and scientific fields. Access to this data in real time for pedagogical purposes would be immensely useful to educators. The academic lab environment presents unique requirements for data access: Its exploratory, multiplicative, and connective nature provides challenges and opportunities that have gone unexplored. Currently, these challenges make interactive educational use impractical. Also, student training requirements have been a noted problem. We present “GeoTorrent”, a system that enables such use for K-20 educational institutions. GeoTorrent provides a client-side proxy server that …

We present the transverse momentum (pT) spectra for identified charged pions, protons and anti-protons from p+p and d+Au collisions at . The spectra are measured around midrapidity (|y|/c with particle identification from the ionization energy loss and its relativistic rise in the time projection chamber and time-of-flight in STAR. The charged pion and proton + anti-proton spectra at high pT in p+p and d+Au collisions are in good agreement with a phenomenological model (EPOS) and with next-to-leading order perturbative quantum chromodynamic (NLO pQCD) calculations with a specific fragmentation scheme and factorization scale. We found that all proton, …
Autonomous Fish Tracking By Rov Using Monocular Camera, Jun Zhou, Christopher M. Clark
Autonomous Fish Tracking By Rov Using Monocular Camera, Jun Zhou, Christopher M. Clark
Computer Science and Software Engineering
This paper concerns the autonomous tracking of fish using a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) equipped with a single camera. An efficient image processing algorithm is presented that enables pose estimation of a particular species of fish - a Large Mouth Bass. The algorithm uses a series of filters including the Gabor filter for texture, projection segmentation, and geometrical shape feature extraction to find the fishes distinctive dark lines that mark the body and tail. Feature based scaling then produces the position and orientation of the fish relative to the ROV. By implementing this algorithm on each frame of a series …

Multihierarchical Xquery For Document-Centric Xml, Ionut E. Iacob, Alex Dekhtyar
Computer Science and Software Engineering
Text has a non-hierarchical structure. Not surprisingly, searching for information in the content of a document often yields results that overlap the structure within the document. It is often of a great interest to relate such results to the embedded document structure. In this work we present an extension of the XQuery language over multihierarchical document-centric XML documents. We illustrate the benefits of using multihierarchical XQuery for text-and-structure searches in document-centric XML documents More specifically, multihierarchical XQuery allows representing relationships between textsearch results and document structure even for cases wheresuch search results overlap markup boundaries and even incases when only …

Structured Queries For Semistructured Probabilistic Data, Alex Dekhtyar, Krol Kevin Mathias, Praveen Gutti
Computer Science and Software Engineering
We present SPOQL, a structured query language for Semistructured Probabilistic Object (SPO) model [4]. The original querylanguage—SP-Algebra [4], has traditional limitations like terse functional notation and unfamiliarity to application programmers. SPOQL alleviates these problems by providing familiar SQL-like declarative syntax. We show that parsing SPOQL queries is a more involving task than parsing SQL queries. We also present an eagerevaluation algorithm for SPOQL queries

Lecture Notes: Non-Standard Approach To J.F. Colombeau’S Theory Of Generalized Functions, Todor D. Todorov
Lecture Notes: Non-Standard Approach To J.F. Colombeau’S Theory Of Generalized Functions, Todor D. Todorov
Mathematics
In these lecture notes we present an introduction to non-standard analysis especially written for the community of mathematicians, physicists and engineers who do research on J. F. Colombeau’ theory of new generalized functions and its applications. The main purpose of our non-standard approach to Colombeau’ theory is the improvement of the properties of the scalars of the varieties of spaces of generalized functions: in our non-standard approach the sets of scalars of the functional spaces always form algebraically closed non-archimedean Cantor complete fields. In contrast, the scalars of the functional spaces in Colombeau’s theory are rings with zero divisors. The …

Modeling And Simulation Of The Videoray Pro Iii Underwater Vehicle, Wei Wang, Christopher M. Clark
Computer Science and Software Engineering
Accurate modeling and simulation of underwater vehicles is essential for autonomous control. In this paper, we present a dynamic model of the VideoRay Pro III microROV, in which the hydrodynamic derivatives are determined both theoretically and experimentally, based on the assumption that the motions in different directions are decoupled. The experiments show that this assumption is reasonable within operating conditions of the VideoRay Pro III. A computer simulation with 3D graphics is also developed to help user to visualize the vehicle's motion.

On The Influence Of Test-Driven Development On Software Design, David S. Janzen, Hossein Saiedian
Computer Science and Software Engineering
Test-driven development (TDD) is an agile software development strategy that addresses both design and testing. This paper describes a controlled experiment that examines the effects of TDD on internal software design quality. The experiment was conducted with undergraduate students in a software engineering course. Students in three groups completed semester-long programming projects using either an iterative Test-First (TDD), iterative Test-Last, or linear Test-Last approach. Results from this study indicate that TDD can be an effective software design approach improving both code-centric aspects such as object decomposition, test coverage, and external quality, and developer-centric aspects including productivity and confidence. In addition, …

Multiscale Image Registration, Dana C. Paquin, Doron Levy, Eduard Schreibmann, Lei Xing
Mathematics
A multiscale image registration technique is presented for the registration of medical images that contain significant levels of noise. An overview of the medical image registration problem is presented, and various registration techniques are discussed. Experiments using mean squares, normalized correlation, and mutual information optimal linear registration are presented that determine the noise levels at which registration using these techniques fails. Further experiments in which classical denoising algorithms are applied prior to registration are presented, and it is shown that registration fails in this case for significantly high levels of noise, as well. The hierarchical multiscale image decomposition of E. …

Will Johnny/Joanie Make A Good Software Engineer?: Are Course Grades Showing The Whole Picture?, Jane Huffman Hayes, Alex Dekhtyar, Ashlee Holbrook, Olga Dekhtyar, Senthil Sundaram
Computer Science and Software Engineering
Predicting future success of students as software engineers is an open research area. We posit that current grading means do not capture all the information that may predict whether students will become good software engineers. We use one such piece of information, traceability of project artifacts, to illustrate our argument. Traceability has been shown to be an indicator of software project quality in industry. We present the results of a case study of a University of Waterloo graduate-level software engineering course where traceability was examined as well as course grades (such as mid-term, project grade, etc.). We found no correlation …

On Potential Validity Of Document-Centric Xml Documents, Ionut E. Iacob, Alex Dekhtyar, Michael I. Dekhtyar
Computer Science and Software Engineering
Document-centric XML document creation is a process of marking up textual content rather than typing text in a predefined structure. It turns out that, although the final document has to be valid with respect to the DTD/Schema used for the encoding, the "in-progress" document is almost never valid. At the same time, it is important to ensure that at each moment of time, the editor is working with an XML document that can be enriched with further markup to become valid. In this paper we explain the notion of potential validity of XML documents, which allows us to distinguish between …
Distinguishing Between Dirac And Majorana Neutrinos With Two-Particle Interferometry, T. Gutierrez
Distinguishing Between Dirac And Majorana Neutrinos With Two-Particle Interferometry, T. Gutierrez
Physics
Two-particle interferometry, a second-order interference effect, is explored as another possible tool to distinguish between massive Dirac and Majorana neutrinos. A simple theoretical framework is discussed in the context of several gedanken experiments. The method can in principle provide both the mass scale and the quantum nature of the neutrino for a certain class of incoherent left-handed source currents.
Hydrodynamics Of Polar Liquid Crystals, William Kung, Cristina M. Marchetti, Karl Saunders
Hydrodynamics Of Polar Liquid Crystals, William Kung, Cristina M. Marchetti, Karl Saunders
Physics
Starting from a microscopic definition of an alignment vector proportional to the polarization, we discuss the hydrodynamics of polar liquid crystals with local C∞v symmetry. The free energy for polar liquid crystals differs from that of nematic liquid crystals (D∞h) in that it contains terms violating the n→−n symmetry. First we show that these Z2-odd terms induce a general splay instability of a uniform polarized state in a range of parameters. Next we use the general Poisson-bracket formalism to derive the hydrodynamic equations of the system in the polarized state. The structure of …

Reduction Of Potential Fire Behavior In Wildland-Urban Interface Communities In Southern California: A Collaborative Approach, Christopher Dicus, Michael E. Scott
Natural Resources Management and Environmental Sciences
This manuscript details a collaborative effort that reduced the risk of wildfire in an affluent, wildland-urban interface community in southern California while simultaneously minimizing the environmental impact to the site. FARSITE simulations illustrated the potential threat to the community of Rancho Santa Fe in San Diego County, California, where multimillion-dollar homes were located immediately above a designated open space area that consisted primarily of 60-year-old, decadent chaparral. Post-treatment fire behavior simulations demonstrated the potential ability to moderate fire behavior. Results of the fire behavior modeling led to a recognition for the need for fuels treatments by both homeowners and regulatory …
Post Register Allocation Spill Code Optimization, Christopher Lupo, Kent Wilken
Post Register Allocation Spill Code Optimization, Christopher Lupo, Kent Wilken
Computer Science and Software Engineering
A highly optimized register allocator should provide an efficient placement of save/restore code for procedures that contain calls. This paper presents a new approach to placing callee-saved save and restore instructions that generalizes Chow's shrink-wrapping technique (Chow 1988). An efficient, profile-guided, hierarchical spill code placement algorithm is used to analyze the structure of a procedure to calculate the minimum dynamic execution count locations to place callee-saved save and restore code. The algorithm is implemented in the Gnu Compiler Collection and has been tested on the SPEC CPU2000 Integer Benchmark suite. Results show that the technique reduces the number of dynamic …

Discrete Shells Origami, Rob Burgoon, Zoë J. Wood, Eitan Grinspun
Computer Science and Software Engineering
We introduce a way of simulating the creation of simple Origami (paper folding). The Origami is created in a thin shell simulation that realistically models the behavior and physical properties of paper. We demonstrate how to fold and crease the simulated paper wherever the user desires. This work employs cutting-edge advances in the field of discrete shell modeling to meet the challenge of simulating Origami. We found that the discrete shell model is capable of creating simple Origami that does not involve paper to paper collisions. For more advanced origami, however, some kind of collision detection and resolution scheme is …

Physics
We present the centrality-dependent measurement of multiplicity and pseudorapidity distributions of charged particles and photons in Au+Au collisions at √sNN=62.4 GeV. The charged particles and photons are measured in the pseudorapidity region 2.9≤η≤3.9 and 2.3≤η≤3.7, respectively. We have studied the scaling of particle production with the number of participating nucleons and the number of binary collisions. The photon and charged particle production in the measured pseudorapidity range has been shown to be consistent with energy-independent limiting fragmentation behavior. Photons are observed to follow a centrality-independent limiting fragmentation behavior, while for charged particles it is centrality dependent. We have carried out …

Physics
We report the first experimental realization of pattern formation in a spatially extended nonlinear system when the system is alternated between two states, neither of which exhibits patterning. Dynamical equations modeling the system are used for both numerical simulations and a weakly nonlinear analysis of the patterned states. The simulations show excellent agreement with the experiment. The nonlinear analysis provides an explanation of the patterning under alternation and accurately predicts both the observed dependence of the patterning on the frequency of alternation and the measured spatial frequencies of the patterns.

Accurate and expressive representation of the subject matter over which a context-oriented, decision-support system operates is fundamental to the effectiveness and longevity of the resulting solution. Often taking the form of an ontology, such extensive representational models, by their very nature, are rich in both relationships and fine-grained objects. It is, however, these two strengths that can significantly increase complexity for its users in addition to adversely affecting system performance. Further, due to the multitude of compartmentalized facets (i.e., populations of distinct, reasoning agents) inherent in such software solutions, it is important to recognize that a single-minded omniscient set of …

Test-driven learning (TDL) is an approach to teaching computer programming that involves introducing and exploring new concepts through automated unit tests. TDL offers the potential of teaching testing for free, of improving programmer comprehension and ability, and of improving software quality both in terms of design quality and reduced defect density.This paper introduces test-driven learning as a pedagogical tool. It will provide examples of how TDL can be incorporated at multiple levels in computer science and software engineering curriculum for beginning through professional programmers. In addition, the relationships between TDL and test-driven development will be explored.Initial evidence indicates that TDL …
