The editors of Cell Biology Education requested a perspective on the math that biologists should know. As it happens, Science magazine just provided such perspective, superbly, when it published on Feburary 4 a number of thoughtful articles on math and biology. One, by Bialek and Botstein (2004), describes what would amount to comprehensive curriculum reforms to better integrate mathematics int...

This study focuses on the differences between stubborn sets and other partial order methods. First a major problem with step graphs is pointed out with an example. Then the deadlock-preserving stubborn set method is compared to the deadlock-preserving ample set and persistent set methods. Next, conditions are discussed whose purpose is to ensure that the reduced state space preserves the orderi...

A multimodal dialogue system which answers user questions in natural speech presents one of the main achievements of contemporary interaction-based AI technology. To allow for an intuitive, multimodal, task-based dialogue, the following must be employed: more than explicit models of the discourse of the interaction, the available information material, the domain of interest, the task, and/or mo...
