We believe that it is important from the practical point of view to use natural language generation (NLG) in real world applications. The key benefits are outlined as follows: • Higher quality of generated texts • Cost effective maintenance and adaptability • Usability•(including acceptability by the users). Generally, it takes "exotic" (linguists, knowledge engineers) manpower to maintain, and...

This paper describes the prototype implementation of a retargetable vector code generator which applies recent advances in automatic (scalar) code generation techniques to the task of generating code for a vector source language. The source language is a subset of Fortran 8X, the proposed successor to the Fortran 77 standard. The target machine is an attached vector processor. This work extends...

7 The year 2001 was one of change for the cooperative in many important ways. Industry consolidation and the shifts in land ownership patterns continued to accelerate. International Paper Company's acquisition of Champion International , which was actually completed in 2000, resulted in a loss of a cooperative member in 2001. Fortunately, this occurred without a corresponding loss of breeding m...

Despite the fact that 4G deployment is still at its infancy there are already many research initiatives that focus on the next generation of mobile communications. But why there is a need for a new generation to be shaped so closely to the previous one? Is it really a need behind it by the community or the companies are seeking new ways to sustain or enhance their profits. In this paper we high...

As the cellular technology is growing at a rapid pace, users always seek for a set of appropriate packages all together, including all the current features in use. Hence, the search for a new technology is always the main concern of the foremost cell phone companies to out innovate their competitors. The main purpose of the fifth generation wireless technology (5G) is formulated to design the u...

2.1 Beam Structure Many machine concepts have been proposed for the next generation linear collider. A good representation of the parameters for these desigrrs is included in an extensive paper on background issues by Chen et al.,l which was presented and extensively discussed at this conference. Rather than try to make long lists of comparisons and keep track of the changes in the machine desi...

This paper presents the design alternatives for reconfigurable instruction set processors (RISP) from a hardware/software point of view. Reconfigurable instruction set processors are programmable processors that contain reconfigurable logic in one or more of its functional units. Hardware design of such a type of processors can be split in two main tasks: the design of the reconfigurable logic ...

The title of this book reflects a kind of generational rhetoric that often characterises discussions of the use and impact of so-called ‘new’ media. Young people are frequently described as a ‘digital generation’, a generation defined in and through its experience of digital computer technology. This rhetoric can be found in popular commentary in fields as diverse as commerce, government, educa...

The recent rapid uptake of residential solar photovoltaic (PV) installations provides many challenges for electricity distribution networks designed for one-way power flow from the distribution company to the residential customer. In particular, for grid-connected installations, intermittent generation as well as large amounts of generation during low load periods can lead to a degradation of p...

This paper proposes a novel column generation framework for combinatorial software testing. In particular, it combines Mathematical Programming and Constraint Programming in a hybrid decomposition to generate covering arrays. The approach allows generating parameterized test cases with coverage guarantees between parameter interactions of a given application. Compared to exhaustive testing, com...
