Titles and abstracts from Jour JIFIP V14#1 (1991) and titles from Trans JIFIP V31#6-12 (1990). All the papers are in English JOURNAL OF INFORMATION PROCESSING Vol. 14. No. 1, 1991 Almost Boolean Algebraic Computation of LALR (1) Look-Ahead Sets Hiroyuki Anzai (Faculty of Engineering, Kyushu Institute of Technology) In order to obtain an LALR (1) parser from a given grammar, it is necessary to construct an LR (0) automation and to compute LALR (1) Look- Ahead sets. This paper presents a new method for doing so, based on the linear algebra-like approach instead of the traditional graph theoretical one. After pointing out that the regular language generated from the empty set is isomorphic to Boolean algebra, this paper shows that the above problems can be solved by partially reducing them to problems of this simplest language, Boolean algebra, in such a manner that unknown sets are defined by simultaneous equations each of whose coefficients is a Boolean number. For a given BNF, equations of this kind defining the state transition of an LR (0) automation are given and solved. Follow sets are similarly defined and solved. Each solution is a formula for computing the desired sets, whose form is the product of the closure of a Boolean matrix and a vector of either Boolean numbers or sets of symbols. Finally, each Look-Ahead set is obtained as a union of properly selected Follow sets. Until now, this kind of computation has been done in an iterative manner of set computation on the equations until the sets obtained become unchanged. Instead, this paper gives a formula for computing them by almost Boolean matrix computation. A Nonmonotonic Temporal Logic and Its Kripke Semantics Yasushi Fujiwara, Shinichi Honiden (Systems & Software Engineering Laboratory, Toshiba Corp.) Human commonsense reasoning is at the same time nonmonotonic and temporal. This paper proposes a logic for nonmonotonic temporal reasoning. The nonmonotonic temporal logic "autoepistemic temporal logic" (ATL) is an extension of both autoepistemic logic, a kind of nonmonotonic logic, and propositional temporal logic (PTL). A spatio- temporal logic ST5, which is suitable for reasoning about multiprocess networks, is also proposed, and a close relationship is exhibited between the semantics of ATL and ST5. Stable expansions of premises of a certain type are then characterized in terms of statewise autoepistemic stable expansions. The result may also provide a general approach to constructing nonmonotonic logic with possible-world semantics. Accurate Reconstruction of a 3D Object Composed of Multiple Surfaces Kazufumi Kaneda, Yutaka Wakasu, Eihachiro Nakamae (Faculty of Engineering, Hiroshima University) Mineo Yasuda, Akinao G. Sato (School of Medicine, Hiroshima University) In order to observe in detail the internal structure of a multi- layered object consisting of various elements, it is very important to reconstruct the original object from its cross-sectional data and display the inner along with the outer appearance of the reconstructed object. This paper describes a technique for reconstructing a 3D object from complex contours on the cross-sections efficiently and faithfully. The proposed method succeeds even when the object's shape varies radically between successive cross-sections: cross-sections with radically different contours and/or radically different contour line segments are automatically supplemented. The usefulness of the proposed method is demonstrated with some semitransparent and stereoscopic displays of a reconstructed mouse embryo. A Dynamic Algorithm for Placing Rectangles without Overlapping Takeshi Tokuyama (IBM Research, Tokyo Research Laboratory) Takao Asano (Faculty of Science and Technology, Sophia University) Shuji Tsukiyama (Faculty of Science and Engineering, Chuo University) We consider the dynamic allocation problem of rectangles such that a mixed sequence of insertions and deletions of rectangles in a rectangular board is executed without any pair of rectangles overlapping each other. We present an O (n log log n) time algorithm for insertion of a rectangle if n rectangles have been already placed in the board. We solve the problem by reducing it to the contour construction problem on a special class of arrangements of rectangles. Roughly Sorting: A Generalization of Sorting Yoshihide Igarashi (Department of Computer Science, Gumma University) Derick Wood (Department of Computer Science, University of Waterloo, Canada) A sequence `=(a1, ...., an) is k-sorted if and only if for all 1<i, j<n, i<j-k implies a1<aj. A k-sorting algorithm called k-Bubblesort is first designed, since it is a generalization of Bubblesort. Next, a k- sorting algorithm called k-Quicksort is designed, as well as an algorithm for transforming a roughly sorted sequence into a less roughly sorted sequence. It is shown that k-Quicksort is time-optimal within a constant factor if k satisfies a certain condition. Parallel implementation of k- Bubblesort and k-Quicksort are also discussed. Remote Object Access Mechanism Kaoru Yoshida (Institute for New Generation Computer Technology (ICOT) As part of the firth-generation project, ICOT has been developing an object-oriented logic programming and operating system, SIMPOS, for the personal sequential inference machines PSI and PSI-II. Currently, about tree hundred PSI machines and some other machines have been connected in local and global area networks. Two different protocols, PSI-NET and TCP-IP, are supported over the network. For a distributed system to be built to be network-transparent as simply and compactly as possible, it should be network-transparent at the base, that is, at the method-call level for an object-oriented system. This paper describes the principles and implementation of the Remote Object Access mechanism (ROAM), which is a general mechanism embedded in SIMPOS to make method calls to objects on remote PSI machines as well as on the local PSI machine. ROAM has been implemented as a set of classes. Network-transparent objects can be defined easily by inheriting a ROAM interface class and customizing some of the inherited methods. ROAM is currently in operation, and uses both of the above two protocols. A variety of application software programs have been developed with ROAM, for practical use, one of which, a global file system, described as an example. A New Reorthogonalization in the Lanczos Algorithm Hitoshi Imai, Makoto Natori, Eiji Kawamura (Institute of Information Sciences and Electronics, University of Tsukuba) A new reorthogonalization in the Lanczos algorithm is proposed. In this method, the loss of orthogonality among Lanczos vectors is monitored by a recurrence formula. When it is directed, Ritz vectors, which correspond to converging Ritz values, are employed for the orthogonalization. The main feature of this method is that can be stopped as soon as the desired eigenvalues have been obtained. Numerical computations are carried out to evaluate the method. Here, matrics obtained by discretization of the two-dimensional Laplace operator are used. The features mentioned above are confined numerically, and an improvement in the computational time is confirmed. Design Issues of OMEGA: An Object-Oriented Multimedia Database Management System Yoshifumi Masunaga (Department of Library and Information Science, University of Library and Information Science) OMEGA is an object-oriented multimedia database management system under development at the University of Library and Information Science. Some of the design issues of OMEGA are reported in this paper. First, the multimedia data modeling is discussed. It is stressed that the object-oriented approach is essential in order to organize and manage multimedia data. The Referred Object Integration method for multimedia database organization is presented that its semantically more powerful than the hypermedia approach. Next, the object model of OMEGA is investigated. It is shown that traditional object-oriented models are not powerful enough to represent multimedia objects. Some extensions are made for representing part hierarchy and temporal and spatial information about multimedia data. Object identify that equality are characterized. Type issues and object management schemes are also examined. After this, the language model of OMEGA is investigated and the design of the class definition, the query, and the database programming language are discussed. The problem of how to translate Smalltalk objects into C+ + objects, and vice versa is investigated with a view to supporting multiple object-oriented database programming languages with persistent object-sharing capability in OMEGA. The object-oriented and the SQL-Like syntax of the class definition and the query language are also described. An Experimental Reflective Programming System Written in GHC Jiro Tanaka (IIAS-SIS, Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd.) A Programming system can be defined as an environment in which one can input programs and execute goals. Two approaches to enhancing meta- interpreters, namely, meta-extension and reflective-extension, are described. They are then combined and reflective opertions on such meta- interpretation techniques, is described. The whole system consists of two layers, a distributed abstract machine layer and an execution system layer, both of which are totally written in the parallel logic language GHC. Two examples are given of reflective programming: load balacing and dynamic reduction count control. An example is also given of an actual program execution of ExReps. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRANSACTIONS OF INFORMATION PROCESSING SOCIETY OF JAPAN, Vol 31, #6 -- #12 (1990) Reasoning for Logic Circuit Synthesis Expert System Keisuke Bekki (The 10th Department, Hitachi Research Laboratory, Hitachi Ltd.), et. al.
