We establish a connection between on-line learning theory and search engine construction based on membership, query, target concept and ranking assumptions. With applications of Winnow and virtual-variable methods, we show the bound on the number queries needed to identify any collection of documents represented by a disjunction of a set of attributes. We also describe the design and implementation of a prototype search engine based on the theory we developed.

DaVIME (Data Visualization, Indexing and Mining Engine) is a software architecture that does data visualization, indexing and mining in an integraged environment. It serves user's various types of information requests by invoking different components of DaVIME, many of which work in parallel such as search, indexing and categorization.

Meng, X., "EMUNET: Design and Implementation -- A Debugging Aid for Distributed Programs in TCP/IP Based Network", Technical Report CS-96-12, May 22, 1996

Debugging a distributed programs is very challenging, due to its non-determinism of execution. The EMUNET library makes this task easier by emulating the network functions in a single program. Programmers have the control of how and when delivering the inter-process communications message. After debug is finished, the program can link to the actual network library to work in real environment.

The Document Explorer system is used to create a visual browsing environment for WWW documents based on semantic content, rather than on link structure such as used in other WWW browsing and visualization tools.

Fox, R. and Ochoa, G., "Mechanical Diagnosis Using Classification: A Brake Diagnostic System", Technical Report CS-95-10, Jul. 1995

This paper presents a system to perform automated mechanical diagnosis of a car's brake system by using the Generic Tasks of Hierarchical Classification and Routine Recognition. A malfunction hierarchy is traversed in an attempt to establish the most likely malfunction hypotheses provided a description of the car's current condition as input.

In this paper, automated debugging of syntax errors in Turbo Pascal programs is considered. The debugging process is compared to diagnosis. Inference types are discussed along with the knowledge of Pascal that is required to perform these inferences. Two prototype automated debugging systems are introduced and demonstrated by an example.
