This paper describes a method for the development of dialogue managers for natural language interfaces. A dialogue manager is presented designed on the basis of both a theoretical...
—This paper reports the design and development processes of a totally decoupled flexure-based XYZ parallel-kinematics micropositioning stage with piezoelectric actuation. The un...
Bugs in concurrent programs are extremely difficult to find and fix during testing. In this paper, we propose Kivati, which can efficiently detect and prevent atomicity violat...
Shared memory in a parallel computer provides prowith the valuable abstraction of a shared address space--through which any part of a computation can access any datum. Although un...
Abstract--Many shared-memory parallel systems use lockbased synchronization mechanisms to provide mutual exclusion or reader-writer access to memory locations. Software locks are i...
