This is a brief overview of the Taxis project, concerned with the development of languages, tools and methodologies for the design of interactive information systems (ISS) such as reservations, inventory control and credit card verification. We describe the major novel ideas explored in this project, the tools and techniques supporting them, and their source in significant ideas of Artificial I...

Phenotypic analysis of the daf-11 and daf-21 mutants of Caenorhabditis elegans suggests that they have defects in components shared by processes analogous to vertebrate taste and olfaction. daf-11 and daf-21 mutations were previously shown to cause inappropriate response to the dauer-inducing pheromone. By mutational analysis and by disabling specific chemosensory sensilla with a laser, we show...

Floating Car Data (FCD) has been analyzed for various purposes in past years. However, limited research about the behaviors of taking long-distance taxi rides has been made available. In this paper, we used data from over 12,000 taxis during a six-month period in Shanghai to analyze the spatiotemporal patterns of long-distance taxi trips. We investigated these spatiotemporal patterns by compari...

The relationship between transportation and tourism has not been fully explored in tourist research. effects of services at destinations, particularly with service encounter failures, on tourists' perceptions the destinations their behavioral intentions have considered. We examine taxis, a main form transportation, assess how tourists evaluate failures. Our sample 308 residents Hong Kong partic...
