The GENESIS simulation platform was one of the first broad-scale modeling systems in computational biology to encourage modelers to develop and share model features and components. Supported by a large developer community, it participated in innovative simulator technologies such as benchmarking, parallelization, and declarative model specification and was the first neural simulator to define b...

Game artificial intelligence (AI) controls the decision-making process of computercontrolled opponents in computer games. Adaptive game AI (i.e., game AI that can automatically adapt the behaviour of the computer players to changes in the environment) can increase the entertainment value of computer games. Successful adaptive game AI is invariably based on the game’s domain knowledge. We show t...

UNLABELLED There is a large amount of tools for interactive display of phylogenetic trees. However, there is a shortage of tools for the automation of tree rendering. Scripting phylogenetic graphics would enable the saving of graphical analyses involving numerous and complex tree handling operations and would allow the automation of repetitive tasks. ScripTree is a tool intended to fill this ga...

We introduce the design of Mondrian, a functional scripting language for glueing together components on the .NET platform. Mondrian is monadic statement centric with pure expressions and nonstrict evaluation and explores the melding of the OO and the purely lazy functional paradigms.
