syntax tree exposing the structure of file. This tree is then analyzed by algorithms implemented in Java to create and populate tables in its schema. Often, information in a table is assembled from information scattered in different parts of the file. The system is illustrated in the context of a configuration file containing the following commands in Cisco’s IOS configuration language:

The development and use of product configurators has been highlighted as one of the more important IT enabled technologies to facilitate the realisation of mass customisation. However, the integration of these technologies into day to day business operations is complicated by the proliferation of configuration capabilities across a number of types of IT applications. This paper seeks to address...

We propose an abstract operational model of a highly adaptive distributed resource management architecture (DRMA) for network enabled operations in large-area surveillance. The architectural design of DRMA is described in terms of a distributed abstract state machine. As part of this work, we present the specification and design of a Dynamic Configuration Manager (DCM) that actively maintains t...

Abstract Constructing modular applications from existing parts is difficult if there are mismatches due to input or output semantic differences during module interconnection. In order to minimize the effort of building such applications, and also as a guideline for designing modular applications from scratch, we propose an architecture in which modules are able to interface with each other with...

Interactive configuration is the concept of assisting a user in selecting values for parameters that respect given constraints. It was originally inspired by the product configuration problem with the emergence of the mass-customisation paradigm in product manufacturing, but has also been applied to other tasks requiring user interaction, such as specifying services or setting up complex equipm...

This paper studies the configuration space of all possible positions of a linkage in R n. For example, it shows that for every compact algebraic set, there is a linkage whose configuration space is analytically isomorphic to a finite number of copies of the algebraic set. If flexible edges are allowed, any compact set given by polynomial equalities and inequalities is the configuration space of...

In this paper, a novel approach for creating configuration models is supplied by introducing a metaknowledge base that enables the construction of configuration models. The meta-knowledge base represents all knowledge bases that can be expressed with a given configuration language, in the case of this paper, with the Component Description Language CDL. The meta-knowledge base itself is again re...

The title seco-dammarane triterpenoid, C(27)H(42)O(4) (systematic name: 3-{(3S,3aR,5aR,6S,7S,9aR,9bR)-6,9a,9b-trimethyl-3-[(R)-2-methyl-5-oxotetra-hydro-furan-2-yl]-7-(prop-1-en-2-yl)dodeca-hydro-1H-cyclo-penta-[a]naphthalen-6-yl}propanoic acid), has been isolated for the first time from the seeds of Aglaia forbesii. The mol-ecule has three fused rings and all rings are in trans-fused. The two ...
