Context-free tree grammars, originally introduced by Rounds [Math. Systems Theory 4(3) (1970) 257-287], are powerful grammar devices for the definition of tree languages. The properties of the class of context-free tree languages have been studied for more than three decades now. Particularly important here is the work by Engelfriet and Schmidt [J. Comput. System Sci. 15(3) (1977) 328-353, 16(1) (1978) 67-99]. In the present paper, we consider a subclass of the class of context-free tree languages, namely the class of linear context-free tree languages. A context-free tree grammar is linear, if no rule permits the copying of subtrees. For this class of linear context-free tree languages we show that the grammar derivation mode, which is very important for the general class of context-free tree languages, is immaterial. The main result we present is the closure of the class of linear context-free tree languages under linear frontier-to-root tree transduction mappings. Two further results are the closure of this class under linear root-to-frontier tree transduction mappings and under intersection with regular tree languages. The results of the first part of the paper are applied to the formalisation of optimality theory. Optimality theory (OT), introduced by Prince and Smolensky [Tech. Report 1993], is a linguistic framework in which the mapping of one level of linguistic representation to another is based on rules and filters. The rules generate candidate expressions in the target representation, which are subsequently checked against the filters, so that only those candidates remain that survive this filtering process. A proposal to formalise the description of OT using formal language theory and in particular automata theory was presented by Karttumen [Proceedings of internationalworkshop on Finite-State Methods in Natural Language Processing, 1998, pp. 1-12] and Frank and Satta [Comput. Linguistics 24 (1998) 307-315]. The main result of these papers is that if th

During design space exploration, alternative CPUs are evaluated for an envisaged SoC, thereby requiring fast CPU models and efficient code generation tools. Candidate CPUs may be general-purpose processors, DSPs, micro-controllers or ASIPs. The ASIP is a particularly challenging alternative: since instruction-set architecture (ISA) tailoring is allowed, an ASIP cannot rely on pre-existent code generation tools. Each target ISA requires a new tool chain. Therefore, an automatically retargetable tool chain is mandatory. This paper focuses on a couple of tools from such a chain: pre-processor and assembler. It proposes robust and efficient techniques allowing retargetability through automatic tool generation from a given target ISA, which is formally described by architecture description language (ADL) constructs. Tool robustness results from formal techniques based on context-free grammars. Tool efficiency evidence is provided by experiments targeting three CPUs: MIPS, PowerPC 405 and PIC 16F84.

Ygdrasil is a programming framework for creating networked, multi-user virtual worlds, especially interactive artistic worlds. It provides a shared scene graph, a plug-in system for adding new behaviors, and a high-level script interface for composing these worlds. We describe the architecture of Ygdrasil, and its use in creating two applications that were demonstrated at the iGrid 2002 workshop. (C) 2003 Elsevier science B.V. All rights reserved.

We consider energy minimization problems related to image labeling, partitioning, and grouping, which typically show up at mid-level stages of computer vision systems. A common feature of these problems is their intrinsic combinatorial complexity from an optimization point-of-view. Rather than trying to compute the global minimum - a goal we consider as elusive in these cases - we wish to design optimization approaches which exhibit two relevant properties: First, in each application a solution with guaranteed degree of suboptimality can be computed. Secondly, the computations are based on clearly defined algorithms which do not comprise any (hidden) tuning parameters. In this paper, we focus on the second property and introduce a novel and general optimization technique to the field of computer vision which amounts to compute a suboptimal solution by just solving a convex optimization problem. As representative examples, we consider two binary quadratic energy functionals related to image labeling and perceptual grouping. Both problems can be considered as instances of a general quadratic functional in binary variables, which is embedded into a higher-dimensional space such that suboptimal solutions can be computed as minima of linear functionals over cones in that space (semi-definite programs). Extensive numerical results reveal that, on the average, suboptimal solutions can be computed which yield a gap below 5% with respect to the global optimum in case where this is known.
