TL;DR: A programming system called LISP (for LISt Processor) developed for the IBM 704 computer by the Artificial Intelligence group at M.I.T. was designed to facilitate experiments with a proposed system called the Advice Taker, whereby a machine could be instructed to handle declarative as well as imperative sentences and could exhibit "common sense" in carrying out its instructions.
Abstract: A programming system called LISP (for LISt Processor) has been developed for the IBM 704 computer by the Artificial Intelligence group at M.I.T. The system was designed to facilitate experiments with a proposed system called the Advice Taker, whereby a machine could be instructed to handle declarative as well as imperative sentences and could exhibit “common sense” in carrying out its instructions. The original proposal [1] for the Advice Taker was made in November 1958. The main requirement was a programming system for manipulating expressions representing formalized declarative and imperative sentences so that the Advice Taker system could make deductions. In the course of its development the LISP system went through several stages of simplification and eventually came to be based on a scheme for representing the partial recursive functions of a certain class of symbolic expressions. This representation is independent of the IBM 704 computer, or of any other electronic computer, and it now seems expedient to expound the system by starting with the class of expressions called S-expressions and the functions called S-functions.

TL;DR: The LISP language is designed primarily for symbolic data processing used for symbolic calculations in differential and integral calculus, electrical circuit theory, mathematical logic, game playing, and other fields of artificial intelligence.
Abstract: The LISP language is designed primarily for symbolic data processing used for symbolic calculations in differential and integral calculus, electrical circuit theory, mathematical logic, game playing, and other fields of artificial intelligence.The manual describes LISP, a formal mathematical language. LISP differs from most programming languages in three important ways. The first way is in the nature of the data. In the LISP language, all data are in the form of symbolic expressions usually referred to as S-expressions, of indefinite length, and which have a branching tree-type of structure, so that significant subexpressions can be readily isolated. In the LISP system, the bulk of the available memory is used for storing S-expressions in the form of list structures. The second distinction is that the LISP language is the source language itself which specifies in what way the S-expressions are to be processed. Third, LISP can interpret and execute programs written in the form of S-expressions. Thus, like machine language, and unlike most other high level languages, it can be used to generate programs for further executions.

17 Jul 1995TL;DR: In this paper, the format and content can be separated and uploaded to a server by a publisher, where the format used by publishers remains reasonably constant over time, contrasted with the content which changes on a regular basis.
Abstract: A multimedia publishing system where the format and content can be separated and uploaded to a server by a publisher. Usually, the format used by publishers remains reasonably constant over time, contrasted with the content which changes on a regular basis. As content changes on a regular basis, the publisher uploads only the new content to the server. When clients or customers access the server's content, the server downloads the format and content to the user's computer. Subsequent downloads of content transmits only the content since the format is cached on the customer's computer after the first download. If the publisher desires to change the format at a subsequent time, the next download of content by the customer downloads both the new layout format and the new content. This publication scheme minimizes the transmission of data in bandwidth limited environments.

TL;DR: This paper proposes a method to modify the CSMA/CA protocol such that station priorities can be supported, and results show that DCF is able to carry the prioritized traffic with the proposed scheme.
Abstract: IEEE 802.11 is a standard for wireless LANs. The basic access method in its MAC layer protocol is the distributed coordination function (DCF) for the ad hoc networks. It is based on the mechanism of carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA). DCF is used to support asynchronous data transmission. However, frames in DCF do not have priorities, making it unsuitable for real-time applications. With a little bad luck, a station might have to wait arbitrarily long to send a frame. In this paper, we propose a method to modify the CSMA/CA protocol such that station priorities can be supported. The method is simple, efficient and easy to implement in comparison to point coordination function (PCF), another access method in IEEE 802.11 based on access points (base stations). Simulations are conducted to analyze the proposed scheme. The results show that DCF is able to carry the prioritized traffic with the proposed scheme. key words: wireless LAN, CSMA/CA, multimedia applications,

TL;DR: Sehwa can find the minimum-cost design, the highest performance design, and other designs between these two in the design space and executes within minutes, for problems of practical size, on a VAX 11/750.
Abstract: A set of techniques for the synthesis of pipelined data paths is described, and Sehwa, a program that performs such synthesis, is presented. The task includes the generation of data paths from a data-flow graph along with a clocking scheme that overlaps execution of multiple tasks. Some design examples are given. Sehwa can find the minimum-cost design, the highest performance design, and other designs between these two in the design space. Sehwa is written in Franz Lisp and executes within minutes, for problems of practical size, on a VAX 11/750. >
