一种新的多路归并排序网络

文中提出了一种新的多路归并排序网络,该网络基于倾斜与振荡多路归并排序算法．该网络有两个主要特点．一是其基本构件为ｋ－ｓｏｒｔｅｒｓ,即ｋ个数的排序器,ｋ为任意素数,而传统的排序网络的基本构件为两个数的排序,即２－ｓｏｒｔｅｒｓ．二是该网络的延迟可以小于传统的基于２－ｓｏｒｔｅｒｓ的Ｂａｔｃｈｅｒ排序网络．文中给出了该排序网络的具体实现;作为实例给出了Ｎ＝２７,ｋ＝３时的排序网络;分析了该网络的时间延迟;通过具体设计排序网络的基本构件２－ｓｏｒｔｅｒｓ和３－ｓｏｒｔｅｒｓ,表明这种新的多路归并排序网络和Ｂａｔｃｈｅｒ排序网络相比是一种高速的排序网络．

基于图形硬件的双调排序算法优化

介绍一种新的并行排序算法,该算法以双调归并排序为基础,运用图形硬件的并行体系结构和二叉排序树数据结构的优点,用部分并行代替所有阶段的顺序执行,对双调排序算法进行优化.对该算法进行分析,在理论上n个序列在P个流处理器上的排序,最优的时间复杂度为O((nlogn)/p).实验测试结果表明,优化后的算法比其它基于图形硬件的双调归并排序算法所用时间短.     

一种线性原地二路归并算法

和其它排序算法相比，二路归并最适合于两个有序子表的排序。但经典原地二路归并算法的时间性能是乘积型的，尚有改进空间。文章介绍了改进经典原地二路归并算法所需的基本技术，提出了一种线性原地二路归并算法。归并长度分别为m和n的两个有序子表，谈算法最多需要2．5m 1．5n 4．5√m n次比较和8m 7n-3√m n次移动。     

一种基于数据分块的快速原地归并算法

与其它排序算法相比,二路归并最适合于对两个有序子表进行排序.归并长度分别为m和n的两个有序子表,经典算法有两种.第一种算法完成归并需要○(m+n)的附加空间,○(m+n)次比较和移动.第二种算法是原地的,但完成归并需要○(m+n)次比较和○(m×n)次移动.经过长期研究,提出了一种基于数据分块的快速原地归并算法.新算法通过将数据分块、对数据块排序等方法最多用○((m+n)log2√m+n次比较和○((m+n)3/2)次移动完成两个有序子表的原地归并.实验证明,该算法与经典的原地算法相比,极大地降低了元素的移动次数和算法的运行时间.

Multisets排序是指对具有k个不同计算机系统、基于消息传递环境下,以加法运算为基础的稳定的归并并行算法,该算法实现对Multisets的排序,其时间复杂度为O(n/p log p k log p 4p n/2).     

链表递增归并排序算法

归并排序是一种稳定,高效的排序算法。归并排序算法一般是用顺序存储结构实现的。如Sun公司JDK中Java Collection库中对数组、List的排序。使用顺序存储结构实现归并排序需要空间复杂度为O(n)的辅助存储空间,对于链表来说,还需要转换为顺序存储结构,所以共需要2n的辅助存储空间。本文提出一种链表非递归归并排序算法,可以对链表进行原地(In Place)排序,只需要O(logn)的辅助存储空间,时间复杂度不变。     

Only connect: teaching, technology and telesis

Abstract This paper describes an approach to the design of interactive multimedia materials being developed in a European Community project. The developmental process is seen as a dialogue between technologists and teachers. This dialogue is often problematic because of the differences in training, experience and culture between them. Conditions needed for fruitful dialogue are described and the generic model for learning design used in the project is explained.     

European Community policy and the market

Abstract This paper starts with some reflections on the policy considerations and priorities which are shaping European Commission (EC) research programmes. Then it attempts to position the current projects which seek to capitalise on information and communications technologies for learning in relation to these priorities and the apparent realities of the marketplace. It concludes that while there are grounds to be optimistic about the contribution EC programmes can make to the efficiency and standard of education and training, they are still too technology driven.

融合集成方法已经广泛应用在模式识别领域,然而一些基分类器实时性能稳定性较差,导致多分类器融合性能差,针对上述问题本文提出了一种新的基于多分类器的子融合集成分类器系统。该方法考虑在度量层融合层次之上通过对各类基多分类器进行动态选择,票数最多的类别作为融合系统中对特征向量识别的类别,构成一种新的自适应子融合集成分类器方法。实验表明,该方法比传统的分类器以及分类融合方法识别准确率明显更高,具有更好的鲁棒性。     

Avoiding semantic and temporal gaps in developing software intensive systems

Development of software intensive systems (systems) in practice involves a series of self-contained phases for the lifecycle of a system. Semantic and temporal gaps, which occur among phases and among developer disciplines within and across phases, hinder the ongoing development of a system because of the interdependencies among phases and among disciplines. Such gaps are magnified among systems that are developed at different times by different development teams, which may limit reuse of artifacts of systems development and interoperability among the systems. This article discusses such gaps and a systems development process for avoiding them.     

Designing economic np control charts: A programmed simulation approach

This paper presents control charts models and the necessary simulation software for the location of economic values of the control parameters. The simulation program is written in FORTRAN, requires only 10K of main storage, and can run on most mini and micro computers. Two models are presented - one describes the process when it is operating at full capacity and the other when the process is operating under capacity. The models allow the product quality to deteriorate to a further level before an existing out-of-control state is detected, and they can also be used in situations where no prior knowledge exists of the out-of-control causes and the resulting proportion defectives.     

The development of robot art

Going through a few examples of robot artists who are recognized worldwide, we try to analyze the deepest meaning of what is called “robot art” and the related art field definition. We also try to highlight its well-marked borders, such as kinetic sculptures, kinetic art, cyber art, and cyberpunk. A brief excursion into the importance of the context, the message, and its semiotics is also provided, case by case, together with a few hints on the history of this discipline in the light of an artistic perspective. Therefore, the aim of this article is to try to summarize the main characteristics that might classify robot art as a unique and innovative discipline, and to track down some of the principles by which a robotic artifact can or cannot be considered an art piece in terms of social, cultural, and strictly artistic interest. This work was presented in part at the 13th International Symposium on Artificial Life and Robotics, Oita, Japan, January 31–February 2, 2008     

Explanation and prediction: an architecture for default and abductive reasoning

Although there are many arguments that logic is an appropriate tool for artificial intelligence, there has been a perceived problem with the monotonicity of classical logic. This paper elaborates on the idea that reasoning should be viewed as theory formation where logic tells us the consequences of our assumptions. The two activities of predicting what is expected to be true and explaining observations are considered in a simple theory formation framework. Properties of each activity are discussed, along with a number of proposals as to what should be predicted or accepted as reasonable explanations. An architecture is proposed to combine explanation and prediction into one coherent framework. Algorithms used to implement the system as well as examples from a running implementation are given.     

Three Process Perspectives: Organizations, Teams, and People

This paper provides the author's personal views and perspectives on software process improvement. Starting with his first work on technology assessment in IBM over 20 years ago, Watts Humphrey describes the process improvement work he has been directly involved in. This includes the development of the early process assessment methods, the original design of the CMM, and the introduction of the Personal Software Process (PSP)^SM and Team Software Process (TSP){^SM}. In addition to describing the original motivation for this work, the author also reviews many of the problems he and his associates encountered and why they solved them the way they did. He also comments on the outstanding issues and likely directions for future work. Finally, this work has built on the experiences and contributions of many people. Mr. Humphrey only describes work that he was personally involved in and he names many of the key contributors. However, so many people have been involved in this work that a full list of the important participants would be impractical.     

基于复小波噪声方差显著修正的SAR图像去噪

提出了一种基于复小波域统计建模与噪声方差估计显著性修正相结合的合成孔径雷达(Synthetic Aperture Radar,SAR)图像斑点噪声滤波方法。该方法首先通过对数变换将乘性噪声模型转化为加性噪声模型,然后对变换后的图像进行双树复小波变换(Dualtree Complex Wavelet Transform,DCWT),并对复数小波系数的统计分布进行建模。在此先验分布的基础上,通过运用贝叶斯估计方法从含噪系数中恢复原始系数,达到滤除噪声的目的。实验结果表明该方法在去除噪声的同时保留了图像的细节信息,取得了很好的降噪效果。     

How do children do mathematics with LOGO?

Abstract  This paper considers some results of a study designed to investigate the kinds of mathematical activity undertaken by children (aged between 8 and 11) as they learned to program in LOGO. A model of learning modes is proposed, which attempts to describe the ways in which children used and acquired understanding of the programming/mathematical concepts involved. The remainder of the paper is concerned with discussing the validity and limitations of the model, and its implications for further research and curriculum development.
