Secure two-party and multiparty computation has long stood at the center of the foundations of theoretical cryptography. Recently, however, interest has grown regarding the efficiency of such protocols and their application in practice. As a result, there has been significant progress on this problem and it is possible to actually carry out secure computation for non-trivial tasks on reasonably...

The FeeCom (Front-End-Electronics Communication) chain consists of three layers: the FedClient which is part of the PVSS on the supervisory layer, the InterComLayer (ICL) on the control layer and the FeeServers with their ControlEngines (CE) connected to the Front-EndElectronics (FEE) on the field layer. The FED-API constitutes the upper part of the FeeCom chain (FedClient and the FedServer mod...

The OPUS pipeline processing environment at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) supports the automated conversion of gigabits of raw telemetry from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to useful science and engineering products each day. OPUS provides a flexible, fully concurrent, distributed control system in which a set of processes operate. The applications that form the HST data proce...

This thesis presents SoundStrand, a novel tangible interface for composing music. A new paradigm is also presented one that allows for music composition with limited degrees of freedom, and therefore is well suited for music creation through the use of tangible interfaces. SoundStrand is comprised of a set of building blocks that represent pre-composed musical segments. By sequentially connecti...

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...

Wedescribe the implementation ofMTServer Land, an open-source architecture formachine translation that is developed by the MT group at DFKI. A broker server collects and distributes translation requests to severalworker servers that create the actual translations. Users can access the system via a fast and easy-to-use web interface or use an XML-RPC-based API interface to integrate it into thei...

UNLABELLED Cytoscape Web is a web-based network visualization tool-modeled after Cytoscape-which is open source, interactive, customizable and easily integrated into web sites. Multiple file exchange formats can be used to load data into Cytoscape Web, including GraphML, XGMML and SIF. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION Cytoscape Web is implemented in Flex/ActionScript with a JavaScript API and ...

Mathematical Knowledge can be encoded by means of Open Mathematical Documents (OMDoc) to interface both Computer Algebra and Proof Assistant systems. In this paper, we show how a unique OMDoc structure can be used to dynamically generate, both a Graphical User Interface for a Computer Algebra system and a script for a Proof Assistant. So, the OMDoc format can be used for representing different ...

ABNER (A Biomedical Named Entity Recognizer) is an open source software tool for molecular biology text mining. At its core is a machine learning system using conditional random fields with a variety of orthographic and contextual features. The latest version is 1.5, which has an intuitive graphical interface and includes two modules for tagging entities (e.g. protein and cell line) trained on ...
