May 13, 2005: Sorry, we lost our standalone websensor, but looking
for replacements....
cosc243:please update your hardware report by specific information about
all mentioned processors. For example, following the parallax link you can
find out that the javelin is based on UBICOM
SX48AC, then you can follow
the UBICOM link to find out about this processor. Similarly for other
processors. Plus one page due Monday.
cosc383: in addition to the "three oscillators applet" due April 4,
implement as a java application (not applet!)or c/c++ programm:
20 iterations for x(0) = 0.1, x(n+1)- R(1 - x(n))*x(n), p. 8, eq. 1.6.,
run for four different parameters R=1.5, 2.9, 3.3, 4.
List your codes with numerical output. Post and bring hardcopy to class.
Due on or before Friday 11am.
cosc281: correct and redraw your crossword backtracking tree.
Do not show the nodes that do not have any continuation. For example
the level one choice is the hoses, level two first two choices (hoses,
laser) do not have any continuation and should not be displayed.
Due this Friday in class.
(for DP,MA) The IR worked for me, the problem was probably the
reverse polarity. A new code is posted under cosc243. Did you succeed with
the serial cable?
COSC243 and users: http://10.12.31.141/index.html is down,
please use http://jewel.morgan.edu/~jsmid/readfile2.php
for now. This link is available off campus as well:

K.Devlin: The Millenium Problems: The
Seven Greatest Unsolved mathematical
Puzzles of Our Time.
Basic Books, 2002.
p.105.....Of all the Millenium problems, the P versus NP puzzle is the one
most
likely to be solved by an "unknown amature"-
someone largely untrained in mathematics, possibly someone very young,
who is unknown to the mathematical community.

Mohave, Hiking LV
Against All Enemies: Inside America's War on Terror
Richard Clarke
Free Press, 2004
From the publisher: Most disturbing of all are Clarke's revelations about
the Bush
administration's lack of interest in al Qaeda prior to September 11.
From the moment the Bush team took office and decided to retain
Clarke in his post as the counterterrorism czar, Clarke tried
to persuade them to take al Qaeda as seriously as had Bill Clinton.

with the name and course number
on it. Programs should be annotated (name, calling sequence,

..Stop it right now...The fish is talking...But is he saying anything? No, not really.
No class Tuesday, Wednesday, November 11, 12, 2003.
Project 332: Write an applet that implements activity for cellular automaton rule 45
for fifteen cells
in a ring topology. A similar assignment by hand was due yesterday (Mon Nov 10, 2003).
Project 345: Use UDPclient/server and implement the first mini database on the client
(due this Friday). Implement the second mini database on the server (deadline TBD).
Projects 383
Calculate 2 generations for the difference diffusion equation
(dt=1, dx=1, j=1,..10, two generations, i.e. n =1,2)), due this Friday,
Predator-pray is optional for extra credit.
The next step: Write an applet that implements the difference equation
activity as a one-dimensional array.
Projects 357:
HotPotato routing step: write an applet that implements the nodes, the links
and one packet (a circle or a square) that hops along a fixed path from
the source node to the destination node
where it stops (due this Friday).
Next step: add the Math.random() random generator and hop the packet randomly
into available links (deadline TBD).
Free of penalty points before the deadline: Drop me a line if you get stuck.
