Strategic Directions in EECS:  

     Fear and loathing on the EECS undergraduate trail:
       the inside dope on the competition


The upcoming Wednesday seminar (EE298-42) this week will be
given by four panelists, with Prof. Jeff Bokor moderating.
It will be held on Wednesday, 9/14,
at noon in the 3rd floor Soda Hall auditorium (306).


J. Bokor, moderator
Panelists: Alan Downey (MIT '89), Steven Edwards (Caltech '92),
Mark Hatzilambrou (Stanford '88), and Arlindo Oliveira (Tech. Univ., 
Lisbon, '86)

Each of our panelists will give a short presentation on their
experiences as an undergraduate in other EECS departments.
Berkeley EECS undergrads are particularly encouraged to attend
and add their inputs in the ensuing discussion.

"Anatomy of IPUS: A View Inside an Architecture for 
Knowledge-Based Signal Processing"

Joseph M. Winograd
Knowledge-Based Signal Processing Laboratory
Dept. of Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering
Boston University


Abstract

Knowledge-based techniques can be applied within any signal processing
system which must make context-dependent decisions about signal processing 
actions.  Candidate tasks for knowledge-based processing range in scope 
from the small, such as determining which of several pitch-detection 
algorithms will give (or has given) the most reliable output, to the highly 
complex, as in the separation and identification of multiple sound sources 
in an acoustic scene.  Difficulties encountered in applying the classical 
dataflow model of signal processing systems to the design of knowledge-based 
systems have led to the development of alternative architectures, such as 
the AI-inspired IPUS (Integrated Processing and Understanding of Signals).
The IPUS architecture represents a radical departure from dataflow, offering
a global hierarchical blackboard in lieu of fixed data paths.  It also
incorporates a sophisticated control planner which performs both strategic
and opportunistic scheduling of processing actions according to modular and
hierarchical control schema.  This talk will describe the major components
of the IPUS architecture, focusing on their practical ramifications for the
incorporation of knowledge-based techniques into modern signal processing
system design.  An IPUS-based system for the analysis of radar clutter
will be demonstrated.
