KIVA: an archaeological interpreter
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a system which simulates the interpretation of archaeological sites. Previous systems in archaeology have performed lower-level classificatory tasks. The present system KIVA combines data-driven and expectation-based reasoning to produce an overall interpretation of a given site (i.e., a cultural profile). In this approach, a model of a typical archaeological site is utilized in order to provide the constraints necessary to deal with the inherent uncertainty of archaeological interpretation.

متن کاملCan KIVA Accurately Simulate a Gas Turbine Combustor?
KIVA is a widely used (;ode for combustion simulation in engines. We discuss its shortcomings in approximating real gas turbine combustors and what might be done to improve its performance. It is assumed that the combustion and CFD phenomena are modeled with complete accuracy and that the solution of discretized versions of these models is also accurate. Thus the focus is on the geometry, grid ...
