CS 251 Assignments & Programming Project
Fall 2008
All assignments are due by Monday at 5.00pm, and the programming
project is due by Thursday December 11 at midnight. Each submission
should be sent in plain ASCII text to the Teaching Assistant (hye@uvm.edu)
by e-mail, followed by a hardcopy on the following day to the
Instructor. A penalty of 10% each day will apply to late
submissions.
For each submission, please make sure that it compiles and works,
before you submit the source code by e-mail. If a program does not
compile, you will get 0% for the assignment. It is always a good idea
to include some example tests in your submission.
Plagiarism. The assignments and programming project are
supposed to be individual efforts, not group projects. While you may
discuss the problems and algorithm design with each other, the
programming and reports must be done by yourself. Any type of
plagiarism will not be tolerated.
Questions. If your program does not work, and you have
questions to ask, please bring your questions to the Instructor's
office at an office hour with your program, or make an appointment to
see the Teaching Assistant
(hye@uvm.edu). The Instructor's timetable is given at http://www.cs.uvm.edu/~xwu/WWW/timetable.shtml. Please
do not send your program to the Instructor or the Teaching
Assistant by e-mail for corrections, because they are not supposed to
correct your assignment before your submission.
Assignment 1: Prolog I (Due September 29)
See the assignment specification.
Assignment 2: Prolog II (Due October 13)
-
Flight details are stored in the following form:
flight(Origin, Destination, Dep_time, Arr_time, Week_day, Airline,
Flight_num, NFlying_days, Price, Distance)
- Write a program that plans trips with information for the
following types of questions:
- Is it possible to fly from one city (say Burlington VT) to
another city (say Tokyo) using the same Airline?
- What would be the quickest trip if one were to use any
combination of airlines? You should display a list of flight numbers
and the duration in terms of number of days and number of hours.
- Notes:
- A long trip might require taking several flights in a row.
- You can assume that the Dep_time and Arr_time are represented by
integer values where 0 means midnight, 1 means 1:00 AM, 2 means 2:00
AM, and 23 means 11:00 PM.
Please note that good programming styles (as mentioned in the Prolog
notes) should be followed.
Assignment 3: Knowledge-Based Systems using CLIPS (Due November 10)
