Proceedings of the eighteenth Hawaii international conference on system sciences. Volume 1

This book presents papers given at a conference which considered supercomputers, multiprocessors, and artificial intelligence. Topics covered at the conference included computer architecture, data flow graphs, switched-memory multiprocessor systems, robot operating systems, computer vision, robot programming, cognitive robotics, parallel algorithms and architectures for image processing, the design of parallel production system machines, the granularity of parallel computation, distributed dataflow simulation systems, knowledge acquisition in a database-based expert system, and the feasibility of automatic natural language report generation.
