ÐIntel Corporation developed the Teraflops supercomputer for the US Department of Energy (DOE) as part of the Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative (ASCI). This is the most powerful computing machine available today, performing over two trillion floating point operations per second with the aid of more than 9,000 Intel processors. The Teraflops machine employs complex hardware and software...

A number of different approaches have been applied to the treatment of errors in spoken dialogue systems, including careful design to prevent potential errors, methods for on-line error detection, and error recovery when errors have occurred and have been detected. The approach to error handling presented here is premised on the theory of grounding, in which it is assumed that errors cannot be ...

We have developed a programming framework for building context-aware multi-user collaborative applications in pervasive computing environments. It supports context-sensitive security and multi-user coordination requirements. It also supports error handling in pervasive computing applications through an exception handling model. In this paper we present the programming framework and demonstrate ...

Stochastic computing is an old and unconventional computing technique that is finding promising new applications in imageprocessing and the handling of complex error-correcting codes. Stochastic circuits offer an alternative to conventional digital circuits because of their extremely small size and inherent noise tolerance. They are also well-suited to meeting the requirements of emerging nanos...

In this paper, a discourse modeller for conversational spoken dialogue systems, called GALATEA, is presented. Apart from handling the resolution of ellipses and anaphora, it tracks the “grounding status” of concepts that are mentioned during the discourse, i.e. information about who said what when. This grounding information also contains concept confidence scores that are derived from the spee...

The space and time cost of LR parser generation is high. Robust and effective LR(1) parser generators are rare to find. This work employed the Knuth canonical algorithm, Pager’s practical general method, lane-tracing algorithm, and other relevant algorithms, implemented an efficient, practical and open-source parser generator Hyacc in ANSI C, which supports full LR(0)/LALR(1)/LR(1) and partial ...

In particular, we discuss: a modular software architecture...

From the literature on error detection, the authors select several concepts relating error detection mechanisms and prospective memory features. They emphasize the central role of intention in the classification of the errors into slips/lapses/mistakes, in the error handling process and in the usual distinction between action-based and outcome-based detection. Intention is again a core concept ...
