Profile of PROSPECTOR
نویسنده
چکیده
Category 1 – General Domain This is a system in the geology domain. Main General Function PROSPECTOR is an expert system designed for decision-making problems in mineral exploration. It aids geologists in evaluating the favorability of an exploration site or region for occurrences of ore deposits of particular types. Once a site has been identified, PROSPECTOR can also be used for drilling-site selection. In addition, Geologists had remarked about its potential value as an educational tool. In this regard, the models in the system contain explicit, detailed information from the literature and the experience of expert explorationists, together with explanatory text that can be obtained upon request.

Prospector: A Dynamic Data-Dependence Profiler To Help Parallel Programming
Multiprocessor architectures are increasingly common these days. In order to fully and efficiently utilize the abundant hardware parallelism, translating many sequential programs into parallel programs is a pressing need. Although many compilers support automatic parallelization, most programmers are still manually parallelizing their applications. To help parallelizing applications especially ...
متن کاملUsing Thematic Ontologies for User- and Group-Based Adaptive Personalization in Web Searching
This paper presents Prospector, an adaptive meta-search layer, which performs personalized re-ordering of search results. Prospector combines elements from two approaches to adaptive search support: (a) collaborative web searching; and, (b) personalized searching using semantic metadata. The paper focuses on the way semantic metadata and the users’ search behavior are utilized for userand group...
متن کاملProspector: Discovering Parallelism via Dynamic Data-Dependence Profiling
Multiprocessor architectures are increasingly common these days. Unfortunately, writing correct and efficient parallel programs remains very challenging. Part of the reason is that software tools like execution profilers for parallel programming is still premature. At the same time, while many compilers support automatic parallelization, we find that they usually fail to parallelize C/C++ progr...
متن کاملILSNCC: A PROSPECTOR-Like Uncertain Reasoning Model
The \take-them-in-or-leave-them-out" of prior probabilities is a key problem in uncertain reasoning. The EMYCIN uncertain reasoning model is inconsistent with probability theory, due tòleaving them out', whereas the PROSPECTOR uncertain reasoning model is substantially consistent with probability theory, due tòtaking them in'. However, in the PROSPECTOR model, there are the following problems: ...
متن کاملGlobal elemental maps of the moon: the Lunar Prospector gamma-Ray spectrometer.
Lunar Prospector gamma-ray spectrometer spectra along with counting rate maps of thorium, potassium, and iron delineate large compositional variations over the lunar surface. Thorium and potassium are highly concentrated in and around the nearside western maria and less so in the South Pole-Aitken basin. Counting rate maps of iron gamma-rays show a surface iron distribution that is in general a...
