Computer Aided Molecular Modeling Of Membrane Metalloprotease

Molecular modeling is a set of computational techniques for construction of 3D structure of a protein especially membrane bound proteins whose structures can not be elucidated using experimental techniques. These techniques has been applied in the study of membrane metalloproteases for comparing wild and mutated enzymes, docking inhibitors in the catalytic site and examination of binding pocket...

Revisiting Workflow Modeling with Statecharts

In this paper, we model business workflows using Harel’s statecharts. We demonstrate that mapping to statecharts allows one to systematically identify potential workflow problems. Moreover, it also allows one to investigate specific properties inherent in actual business workflows. Our research focuses on three desirable properties of active database systems --non-termination, non-confluence, a...

Modelsaz: An Object-Oriented Computer-Aided Modeling Environment

Modeling and simulation of processing plants are widely used in industry. Construction of a mathematical model for a plant is a time-consuming and error-prone task. In light of extensive advancements in computer science (both hardware and software), computers are becoming a necessary instrument in industrial activities. Many software tools for modeling, simulation and optimization of proces...

Revisiting the Astonishing Growth of Human-Computer Interaction Research

Computer - based modeling environments

This paper gives the author's views on the kind of computer-based modeling environment needed to properly support management science/operations research work, and on the design challenges that need to be met in order to bring such modeling environments into being. It is a written version of the main ideas of two addresses: a plenary at
