An interactive application, Modelface, was presented for Modeller software based on windows platform. The application is able to run all steps of homology modeling including pdb to fasta generation, running clustal, model building and loop refinement. Other modules of modeler including energy calculation, energy minimization and the ability to make single point mutations in the PDB structures a...

UML is the main modeling language used in model-driven development (MDD). In many cases, UMLbased modeling systems need to be extended by plug-ins to support different modeling approaches. This paper proposes a conceptual framework for model-driven development of plug-ins, which enables reuse of UML modeling capabilities for defining executable plug-in models. This approach suggests that UML-ba...

The execution of process models is usually presented through a graphical user interface, especially when users’ input is required. Existing mechanisms, such as Electronic Institutions (EIs), provide means to easily specify and automatically execute process models. However, every time the specification is modified, the graphical user interface (GUI) needed during the execution stage should be ma...

This paper explores a concept of sketch-based informal user interface for graphic computing, which can be characterized by two properties: strokebased input and perceptual processing of strokes. A sketch-based graphics input prototype system designed for creative brainstorming in conceptual design is introduced. Two core technologies for implementing such a system, adaptive sketch recognition a...

We introduce a framework for classifying user interface design representations, and argue that multiple representations are must be used in the design process, and that modelling languages must support the transition between them. We present languages for modelling domain, task and dialog and show how they provide increased support for design, through flexibility and integration. Design pattern...

The Lumiere Project centers on harnessing probability and utility to provide assistance to computer software users. We review work on Bayesian user models that can be em­ ployed to infer a user's needs by consider­ ing a user's background, actions, and queries. Several problems were tackled in Lumiere research, including ( 1) the construction of Bayesian models for reasoning about the time-vary...

Mobile computing offers the possibility of dramatically expanding the versatility of computers, by bringing them off the desktop and into new and unique contexts. However, this newfound versatility poses difficult challenges for user-interface designers. We propose three modelbased techniques that will aid UI designers who are working in the domain of mobile computing. These techniques will all...

A previous article[1] discussed the use of the CDK framework as a cheminformatics backend to statistical software, allowing for easy access to chemical information for modeling purposes. However, access to statistical functionality from within the CDK framework is a very useful feature. Ideally, the CDK should be agnostic in terms of which backend provides the statistical functionality. This re...
