The identification of particular molecular interactions therefore has been a crucial first step in many cellular studies. Traditionally, biochemical techniques have proven to be an effective indicator of interactions between two proteins of interest. These techniques are almost always limited to in vitro studies, however. More recently, technological advances in fluorescence microscopy and fluo...

A development environment for interactive systems devoted to generate formal languages is described. Our system is organized around three cooperative modules. The rst is a generator of general context-free parsers, following diierent parsing schemes among several available. The second is a generic incremental parsing facility that can be used to make the overall parsing process eecient in the c...

Web service providers rely on the Web Service Description Language (WSDL) as the way to communicate information about an available service to a service requestor. This description or meta-data of the service is used by a service requestor to inspect the available interfaces and to access the service. In this paper, we argue that publishing a WSDL with a functional description of a service alone...

When using electronic services, people are often asked to provide personal information. This raises many privacy issues. To gain the trust of the user, service providers can use privacy policy languages such as P3P to declare the purpose and usage of this personal information. User agents can compare these policies to privacy preferences of a user and warn the user if his privacy is threatened....

Interactive autonomousand directable characters require certain architectural support such as a motor system which moves the character based on decisions made by the behavior system. While previous work has focused on these higher-level systems, we focus on the infrastructure provided by the graphics system. We describe how a graphics system designed with synthetic characters in mind can be beh...
