SYMPOSIUM ON APPLIED COMPUTING

(SAC95)

 

Opryland Hotel Nashville, Tennessee

February 26 - February 28, 1995

 

 

SAC 9195 PRE-SYMPOSIUM TUTORIALS  SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 26  1:30PM - 5:00 PM

 

 

TUTORIAL #1:  COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE

IN MEDICAL AND TECHNICAL APPLICATIONS -

 

CONDITIONS AND METHODS

Johnson Room:  Presenters: Madjid Fathi-Torbaghan and

Christopher Tresp, The Computational Intelligence Group,

The University of Dortmund

 

Abstract:  This tutorial will yield a principal insight into the

possibilities for the use of Neural Networks, Fuzzy Systems and

Evolutionary Algorithms in the context of medical  and

technical applications.

 

One important aspect will be the basic assumption for medical

applications which is given by the doctors acceptance and the

safeness of the used method.

 

According to this the aspect is further given by the different

methods, which will fit the task of the high uncertainty field of

medicine. So it is necessary to use sophisticated methods for

development and optimization of medical systems.

 

 Some topics are:

 

 - ECG/EEG diagnosis

 - cerebral tumor analysis

 - pattern recognition on MR-Tomograms

 

The other aspect is given by the field of mechanical

engineering. The main interest in this tutorial lays in the

optimization of fuzzy sets with Evolution Strategies.

 Additional topics are:

 - material design

 - spotwelding 

 

 

TUTORIAL #2:  PARALLEL DATABASE SYSTEMS

 

ENGINEERING

Polk Room:     Presenter:  Dr. Kam-Fai Wong,  Chinese

University of Hong Kong

 

Abstract:  Today, very large databases may easily  involve 

over  tera-bytes  of  data.  This  trend  shows no sign of

diminishing. Albeit the advancements in  processor  technology, 

handling such  large  volume  of information is becoming

increasingly difficult for conventional database management

systems which run  on sequential computers.  To overcome this

predicament, a number of research projects are investigating the 

use  of parallel  computers.   The  inherent parallelisms behind

its data model (e.g.  relational) render database  suitable  for

parallel  implementation.   In this tutorial, the concept of

parallel database  systems  (PDS)  which  is  based  on  the

extended  dataflow  computation  model will be presented. In

addition, few engineering issues regarding to the  implemen-

tation of the model will be reviewed.

 

 

TUTORIAL  #3: THE WORLD WIDE WEB

Jackson Room:  Presenter:   Robert Inder, The University of

Edinburgh

 

 

Abstract:  The World Wide Web (WWW) is the fastest-

growing use of the Internet---its so-called "killer application". 

This tutorial is aimed at those who want to know what lies

behind all this excitement.  The WWW is said to make it

simple both to publish and to fetch multi-media material over

the Internet.  This tutorial will give attendees an overview of

what the WWW is, what it can actually do and what will be

involved in starting to make use of it.

 

The tutorial will start from the basics of explaining terms like

browser, server, HTML, crawlers and meta-indexes, and finish

with giving an overview of how to write documents, to

configure a WWW site, and the basics of doing more than just

distributing static documents.

 

By the end of the tutorial, attendees will have a clear idea of

what is involved in using the Web, and where they can find the

software and detailed technical information that they need.

 

TUTORIAL #4:  OBJECT ORIENTED

 

PROGRAMMING USING ADA9X

Shiloh Room:   Presenter:  Brad Balfour, Caci, Inc. 

Sponsored by ACM SIGAda

         

 

Abstract:  This tutorial will introduce experienced Ada '83

programmers to the basics of  object oriented programming as

OOP has been implemented in the Ada 9X language.

Basic OOP concepts, techniques, issues, and idioms will be

covered and the use of Ada 9X to implement them would be

explored.  The emphasis in this tutorial would be on the

presentation and discussion of  complete, working examples.

Concepts would be introduced, small examples given,

idioms developed, and then rolled into complete, compilable

examples. All  examples will have been compiled on one or

more Ada 9X test compilers.  Additionally, the tutorial will

examine the interaction of OOP features with  other parts of the

language such as hierarchical library units and protected

types.

 

The tutorial attempts to present a balanced treatment between

Ada 9X specific  language issues and general OOP concepts.

The tutorial will attempt to survey many important issues and

not to explore any one in too much depth. Although the tutorial

will stress the Ada 9X implementation of OOP concepts, there

will be some comparison to other OOP languages as well.
