The design challenge for large-scale multiprocessors is (1) to minimize communication overhead, (2) allow communication to overlap computation, and (3) coordinate the two without sacrificing processor cost/performance. We show that existing message passing multiprocessors have unnecessarily high

The concept of an agent has become important in both Artificial Intelligence (AI) and mainstream computer science. Our aim in this paper is to point the reader at what we perceive to be the most important theoretical and practical issues associated with the design and construction of intelligent

mobile robot implementation suggests that the development of software using these learning tools, can be an order of magnitude faster than conventional computer programming.

Taranaki (WITT) is gearing up to receive large intakes of foreign students into computer education. To gain skills and strategies to meet the challenge of assisting these nonEnglish speaking background (NESB) students, a teacher development `ourse "ESL in the Mainstrea' "

into mainstream operating systems. The National Security Agency (NSA) worked with Secure Computing Corporation (SCC) to develop a flexible MAC architecture called Flask to overcome the limitations of traditional MAC. The NSA has implemented this architecture in the Linux operating system, producing a Security

comfortable discussing and comparing the megahertz ratings of their computers. In a similar way, many people became familiar with the word “digital ” when companies introduced CD players in the 1980s.

specific computing movement, or a unique discourse and voice in the information technology revolution with rich theoretical heritage. Despite its academic success LAP has not become a significant part of understanding mainstream computing problems and/or how to address them. Very few textbooks draw upon

Algorithm visualization (AV) technology graphically illustrates how algorithms work. Despite the intuitive appeal of the technology, it has failed to catch on in mainstream computer science education. Some have attributed this failure to the mixed results of experimental studies designed
