Digital libraries o er much promise for patrons and many challenges for system designers and implementers. One important issue that faces digital library system designers is the type of support provided to patrons for intellectual work. Although many researchers have noted the desirability of robust hypermedia structuring facilities in digital library systems, this research has tended to focus ...

Content-addressable memory (CAM) is a hardware storage commonly used in the fast lookup applications. However, the parallel comparison feature costs the CAM memory large power consumption. In this paper, we propose a new CAM word architecture, called master–slave match line (MSML) design, which aims to combine the master–slave architecture and charge refill minimization technique to reduce the ...

The problem we address in this paper is that of finding effective and parsimonious patterns of connectivity in sparse associative memories. This problem must be addressed in real neuronal systems, so results in artificial systems could throw light on real systems. We show that there are efficient patterns of connectivity and that these patterns are effective in models with either spiking or non...

Network configuration and policy updates occur frequently, and must be performed in a way that minimizes transient effects caused by intermediate states of the network. It has been shown that accurate time can be used for coordinating network-wide updates, thereby reducing temporary inconsistencies. However, this approach presents a great challenge; even if network devices have perfectly synchr...

In this paper we describe insights for theories of natural intelligence that arise from recent advances in architectures for robot intelligence. In particular we advocate a sketch theory for the study of both natural and artificial intelligence that consists of a set of constraints on architectures. The sketch includes the use of multiple shared workspaces, parallel asynchronous refinement of s...

Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM) is a hardware device which can support high-speed table lookups and is an attractive solution for applications such as packet forwarding and classification. We investigate various TCAM architectures recently proposed for TCAM power and memory reduction in packet forwarding and show that far better power and memory performance is possible when we use an ...

Abstract—In this paper, we propose a chaotic complexvalued associative memory which can realize a dynamic association of multi-valued patterns. The proposed model is based on a complex-valued associative memory and a chaotic associative memory. The complex-valued associative memory can treat multi-valued patterns, and the chaotic associative memory can recall stored patterns dynamically. The pr...
