  • Reflexive Interpreters 1 the Problem of Control
    Reset reproduction of a Ph.D. thesis proposal submitted June 8, 1978 to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department. Reset in LaTeX by Jon Doyle, December 1995. c 1978, 1995 Jon Doyle. All rights reserved.. Current address: MIT Laboratory for Computer Science. Available via http://www.medg.lcs.mit.edu/doyle Reflexive Interpreters Jon Doyle [email protected] Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Artificial Intelligence Laboratory Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139, U.S.A. Abstract The goal of achieving powerful problem solving capabilities leads to the “advice taker” form of program and the associated problem of control. This proposal outlines an approach to this problem based on the construction of problem solvers with advanced self-knowledge and introspection capabilities. 1 The Problem of Control Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control, These three alone lead life to sovereign power. Alfred, Lord Tennyson, OEnone Know prudent cautious self-control is wisdom’s root. Robert Burns, A Bard’s Epitath The woman that deliberates is lost. Joseph Addison, Cato A major goal of Artificial Intelligence is to construct an “advice taker”,1 a program which can be told new knowledge and advised about how that knowledge may be useful. Many of the approaches towards this goal have proposed constructing additive formalisms for trans- mitting knowledge to the problem solver.2 In spite of considerable work along these lines, formalisms for advising problem solvers about the uses and properties of knowledge are rela- tively undeveloped. As a consequence, the nondeterminism resulting from the uncontrolled application of many independent pieces of knowledge leads to great inefficiencies.

  • Jeffrey Heim, Marcel Hernandez, Maria Nunez,& Matthias Katerna Morris Worm on November 2, 1988, Robert Tappan Morris Releas
    Jeffrey Heim, Marcel Hernandez, Maria Nunez,& Matthias Katerna Morris Worm On November 2, 1988, Robert Tappan Morris released a worm into the internet. The experimental worm was the first of its kind. It replicated itself and programmed itself, so it ended up spreading much faster than Morris expected. It self-programmed and self-replicated at an exponential rate in a manner that had never been seen before. Morris knew this worm was not necessarily ethical, for he released it out of MIT instead of his own Cornell University. In due course, many computers across the United States had crashed because of Morris. Once he discovered how much damage the worm had been causing, he reached out to a friend at Harvard looking for a solution to stop it. They attempted in sending an anonymous message to the network with directions that could kill the worm, but the message came through too late since they system was clogged. Many significant computers at colleges, businesses and the military became infected. The cost to fix each computer ranged from $200 to over $53,000. The worm exploited vulnerabilities in computer systems and in the UNIX email software. Within 24 hours of releasing the worm, thousands of people were aware something was unusual. Eventually, it would infect ten percent of all computers using the internet. The Morris Worm was the largest malware case ever to reach this percentage. However, the percentage was so high due to the fact that the number of computers was much less than today. The computers it impacted included significant systems, such as Stanford’s, Berkley’s and NASA’s.

  • A Century of Mathematics in America, Peter Duren Et Ai., (Eds.), Vol
    Garrett Birkhoff has had a lifelong connection with Harvard mathematics. He was an infant when his father, the famous mathematician G. D. Birkhoff, joined the Harvard faculty. He has had a long academic career at Harvard: A.B. in 1932, Society of Fellows in 1933-1936, and a faculty appointmentfrom 1936 until his retirement in 1981. His research has ranged widely through alge­ bra, lattice theory, hydrodynamics, differential equations, scientific computing, and history of mathematics. Among his many publications are books on lattice theory and hydrodynamics, and the pioneering textbook A Survey of Modern Algebra, written jointly with S. Mac Lane. He has served as president ofSIAM and is a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Mathematics at Harvard, 1836-1944 GARRETT BIRKHOFF O. OUTLINE As my contribution to the history of mathematics in America, I decided to write a connected account of mathematical activity at Harvard from 1836 (Harvard's bicentennial) to the present day. During that time, many mathe­ maticians at Harvard have tried to respond constructively to the challenges and opportunities confronting them in a rapidly changing world. This essay reviews what might be called the indigenous period, lasting through World War II, during which most members of the Harvard mathe­ matical faculty had also studied there. Indeed, as will be explained in §§ 1-3 below, mathematical activity at Harvard was dominated by Benjamin Peirce and his students in the first half of this period. Then, from 1890 until around 1920, while our country was becoming a great power economically, basic mathematical research of high quality, mostly in traditional areas of analysis and theoretical celestial mechanics, was carried on by several faculty members.

  • A Critique of Abelson and Sussman Why Calculating Is Better Than
    A critique of Abelson and Sussman - or - Why calculating is better than scheming Philip Wadler Programming Research Group 11 Keble Road Oxford, OX1 3QD Abelson and Sussman is taught [Abelson and Sussman 1985a, b]. Instead of emphasizing a particular programming language, they emphasize standard engineering techniques as they apply to programming. Still, their textbook is intimately tied to the Scheme dialect of Lisp. I believe that the same approach used in their text, if applied to a language such as KRC or Miranda, would result in an even better introduction to programming as an engineering discipline. My belief has strengthened as my experience in teaching with Scheme and with KRC has increased. - This paper contrasts teaching in Scheme to teaching in KRC and Miranda, particularly with reference to Abelson and Sussman's text. Scheme is a "~dly-scoped dialect of Lisp [Steele and Sussman 19781; languages in a similar style are T [Rees and Adams 19821 and Common Lisp [Steele 19821. KRC is a functional language in an equational style [Turner 19811; its successor is Miranda [Turner 1985k languages in a similar style are SASL [Turner 1976, Richards 19841 LML [Augustsson 19841, and Orwell [Wadler 1984bl. (Only readers who know that KRC stands for "Kent Recursive Calculator" will have understood the title of this There are four language features absent in Scheme and present in KRC/Miranda that are important: 1. Pattern-matching. 2. A syntax close to traditional mathematical notation. 3. A static type discipline and user-defined types. 4. Lazy evaluation. KRC and SASL do not have a type discipline, so point 3 applies only to Miranda, Philip Wadhr Why Calculating is Better than Scheming 2 b LML,and Orwell.

  • The Evolution of Lisp
    1 The Evolution of Lisp Guy L. Steele Jr. Richard P. Gabriel Thinking Machines Corporation Lucid, Inc. 245 First Street 707 Laurel Street Cambridge, Massachusetts 02142 Menlo Park, California 94025 Phone: (617) 234-2860 Phone: (415) 329-8400 FAX: (617) 243-4444 FAX: (415) 329-8480 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Lisp is the world’s greatest programming language—or so its proponents think. The structure of Lisp makes it easy to extend the language or even to implement entirely new dialects without starting from scratch. Overall, the evolution of Lisp has been guided more by institutional rivalry, one-upsmanship, and the glee born of technical cleverness that is characteristic of the “hacker culture” than by sober assessments of technical requirements. Nevertheless this process has eventually produced both an industrial- strength programming language, messy but powerful, and a technically pure dialect, small but powerful, that is suitable for use by programming-language theoreticians. We pick up where McCarthy’s paper in the first HOPL conference left off. We trace the development chronologically from the era of the PDP-6, through the heyday of Interlisp and MacLisp, past the ascension and decline of special purpose Lisp machines, to the present era of standardization activities. We then examine the technical evolution of a few representative language features, including both some notable successes and some notable failures, that illuminate design issues that distinguish Lisp from other programming languages. We also discuss the use of Lisp as a laboratory for designing other programming languages. We conclude with some reflections on the forces that have driven the evolution of Lisp.

  • The History of the Abel Prize and the Honorary Abel Prize the History of the Abel Prize
    The History of the Abel Prize and the Honorary Abel Prize The History of the Abel Prize Arild Stubhaug On the bicentennial of Niels Henrik Abel’s birth in 2002, the Norwegian Govern- ment decided to establish a memorial fund of NOK 200 million. The chief purpose of the fund was to lay the financial groundwork for an annual international prize of NOK 6 million to one or more mathematicians for outstanding scientific work. The prize was awarded for the first time in 2003. That is the history in brief of the Abel Prize as we know it today. Behind this government decision to commemorate and honor the country’s great mathematician, however, lies a more than hundred year old wish and a short and intense period of activity. Volumes of Abel’s collected works were published in 1839 and 1881. The first was edited by Bernt Michael Holmboe (Abel’s teacher), the second by Sophus Lie and Ludvig Sylow. Both editions were paid for with public funds and published to honor the famous scientist. The first time that there was a discussion in a broader context about honoring Niels Henrik Abel’s memory, was at the meeting of Scan- dinavian natural scientists in Norway’s capital in 1886. These meetings of natural scientists, which were held alternately in each of the Scandinavian capitals (with the exception of the very first meeting in 1839, which took place in Gothenburg, Swe- den), were the most important fora for Scandinavian natural scientists. The meeting in 1886 in Oslo (called Christiania at the time) was the 13th in the series.
