His problems had begun 2 months prior to his admission with mood disorders, arthralgia, weakness, headache, and night sweats; he has recurrent crying with n...

Can Computers Think ? – an Introduction to Computer Science , Programming , and Artificial Intelligence Position Paper

We believe that interdisciplinary connections have to be integrated into introductory computer science courses in order to spark interest in computer science among a diverse group of undergraduate students. We also believe that AI can serve this function and have developed an introductory computer science course with a focus on AI, which we are currently (January 2008) teaching for the first ti...

Think Globally, Act Locally: An Introduction to Domain-based Parallelism and Problem Decomposition Methods

“Think globally; act locally.” This bumper sticker maxim has a lot to say to practitioners of contemporary high performance computing. It is increasingly incumbent on computational scientists to respect the data access hierarchies that accompany the large memories required by applications programs. These hierarchies are imposed, ultimately, by the finite size of data storage media and the finit...
