The Robert Gordon University's HARD Track Experiments at TREC 2004

The High Accuracy Retrieval from Documents (HARD) track explores methods of improving the accuracy of document retrieval systems. As part of this track, the participants have investigated how information about a searcher’s context can be used to improve retrieval performance [Allan, 2003; Allan, 2004]. Searchers, referred to as assessors in this track, produce TREC-style search topics. Addition...

Robert B . Hitchcock , Sr . Gordon L . Smith David D . Cheng Timing Analysis of Computer Hardware

Timing Analysis is a design automation program that assists computer design engineers in locating problem timing in a clocked, sequential machine. The program is effective for large machines because, in part, the running time is proportional to the number of circuits. This is in contrast to alternative techniques such as delay simulation, which requires large numbers of test patterns, and path ...
