BLUEPRINT FOR AN ADVENTURE

Federating Traders: An ODP Adventure

In this paper we propose a model of decentralized federation of traders. Each component trader manages its own set of federated traders. A federation contract is used to document the agreement between two federating traders. The importer's portion of the federation contract forms an import contract that states the service types available in the remote trader. The exporter's portion of the feder...

Blueprint for an Embedded Systems Programming Language

Embedded systems have become ubiquitous and are found in numerous application domains such as sensor networks, medical devices, and smart appliances. Software flaws in such systems can range from minor nuisances to critical security failures and malfunctions. Additionally, the computational power found in these devices has seen tremendous growth and will likely continue to advance. With increas...

An initial blueprint for myogenic differentiation.

We have combined genome-wide transcription factor binding and expression profiling to assemble a regulatory network controlling the myogenic differentiation program in mammalian cells. We identified a cadre of overlapping and distinct targets of the key myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs)--MyoD and myogenin--and Myocyte Enhancer Factor 2 (MEF2). We discovered that MRFs and MEF2 regulate a remark...
