Week of 17 August 2009 Download and install ESC/Java from KindSoftware. The tool is available in three forms. I recommend the Eclipse plugin. Go through the documentation and run ESC/Java on small examples. 2. Lab Exercise 1: Due 7 September 2009, Monday Write a Java program for bubblesort and use ESC/Java to analyse the partial correctness of your programs. Submit your work and give a demo to the TA assigned to you. 3. Lab Exercise 2: Due 19 October 2009, Monday Download and install SML/NJ. Implement the Ford-Fulkerson algorithm for finding the maximum flow in a network in ML. You can find the description if the algorithm on page 658 of CLRS (Cormen, Leiserson, Rivest and Stein: Introduction to Algorithms, Prentice Hall of India, 2007). Submit source code and sample runs to the appropriate TA. 4. Lab Exercise 3: Due 9 November, Monday Download and install SWI-Prolog if it is not already there on your machine. You will have to implement the CYK algorithm for context-free grammars in CNF in Prolog in this exercise (see Hopcroft, Motwani and Ullman, pages 312 - 315). Submit source code and sample runs to the appropriate TA. |
