We are amending the National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP, the Plan) and its auxiliary provisions by removing the descriptions of specific tests and sanitation procedures from the regulations. Instead, we will require tests to be performed and sanitation to be maintained in a manner approved by the Administrator. Approved procedures will be listed in an NPIP Program Standards document, which ...

We present here a methodology for programming active networks in the environment de ned by our new language PLAN (Packet Language for Active Networks). This environment presumes a two-level architecture consisting of: 1. active packets carrying PLAN code; and 2. downloadable, node-resident services written in more general-purpose languages. We present several examples which illustrate how these...

Considerable work has been done to automatically learn domain-specific knowledge to improve the performance of domain independent problem solving systems. However, most of this work has focussed on learning search control knowledge-knowledge that can be used by a problem solving system during search to improve its performance. An alternative approach to improving the performance of domain indep...

Moreover, the agent should gradually learn how to better assist the user, adapting to his interests, habits and preferences. Acting in this way, the agent would not bother the user in an imprope...

We identify a new class of non-circular attribute grammars, called the multi-plan attribute grammars, for which static evaluation plans can be computed. The class of multi-plan attribute grammars is larger than all currently known classes of non-circular attribute grammars with static evaluation plans. The decision procedure and the procedure for computing evaluation plans take essentially poly...
