frontiers of capability of these mechanical devices. There are separate courses that deal with circuits and switching theory (computer logic) and with instruction sets and register arrangements (computer ar-chitecture) and with data structures and algorithms and operating systems and compiler design and artificial intelligence and so forth. All of these courses have a theoretical component‚ but they differ from our study in two basic ways. First‚ they deal only with computers that already exist; our

Adaptive Shape Contour Tracing Algorithm by Emad Attalla‚ Ph.D. ABSTRACT In this paper we are going to present a new shape contour tracing algorithm called ¡§Adaptive Contour Tracing Algorithm¡¨. The algorithm can trace open and closed discontinuous digital shapes and return an ordered set of boundary points that represent the contour of the shape. Unlike other algorithms that return boundary points that are part of the traced shape‚ our algorithm returns background points that are adjacent

Steps in Program Development Computer programming is an art. Many peoplebelieve that a programmer must be good at mathematics‚ have a memory for figures and technical information‚ and be prepared to spend many hours sitting at a computer‚ typing programs. However‚ given the right tools and steps to follow‚ anyone can write well designed programs. It is a task worth doing‚ as it is both stimulating and fullfilling. Programming can be defined as the development of a solution to and identified

In pattern recognition‚ the k-Nearest Neighbors algorithm (or k-NN for short) is a non-parametric method used for classification and regression. In both cases‚ the input consists of the k closest training examples in the feature space. The output depends on whether k-NN is used for classification or regression: • In k-NN classification‚ the output is a class membership. An object is classified by a majority vote of its neighbors‚ with the object being assigned to the class most common among its k

For many years‚ I have thought that algorithms and data structures are the keys to studying computer science‚ so I have used a lot of effort to learn algorithms and data structures. Having competed in various programming contests in high school and in university‚ such as ACM-ICPC‚ I have gained some valuable problem solving experience. This has aroused my interest in solving real world problems and doing research. I believe my research experience in probabilistic databases‚ my problem solving skills

cube‚ AND you are doing all of it with your eyes closed. It sounds impossible to do‚ but it is actually not that difficult. The ONLY thing you ever do when solving a Rubik’s cube blindfolded is move a certain piece to a certain spot‚ do a certain algorithm‚ and then move that piece back to its original spot. The only problem is‚ you do that about thirty times (sometimes even more) each time you solve the cube blindfolded‚ and you need to memorize all of thirty of them before you close your eyes. Before
