1 ATHENA, A HYPERTENSION DECISIONSUPPORT SYSTEM The EON architecture, developed at Stanford Medical Informatics, consists of a set of general components that work together to provide decisionsupport to physicians for guideline-based medical therapy [1]. A clinical application based on the EON architecture is ATHENA (Assessment and Treatment of Hypertension: Evidence-Based Automation), a project...

Synthetic biology is the engineering of cellular networks. It combines principles of engineering and the knowledge of biological networks to program the behavior of cells. Computational modeling techniques in conjunction with molecular biology techniques have been successful in constructing biological devices such as switches, oscillators, and gates. The ambition of synthetic biology is to cons...

This document gives an overview and specification of Version 5 of the protocol for the Kerberos network authentication system. Version 4, described elsewhere [1,2], is presently in production use at MIT’s Project Athena, and at other Internet sites. Overview Project Athena, Athena, Athena MUSE, Discuss, Hesiod, Kerberos, Moira, and Zephyr are trademarks of the Massachusetts Institute of Technol...

Athena has mixed apples and oranges in her article on NA. She has not given definite conclusions, rather left many loose ends at the end, making with unsupported statements. NA is rare. I feel it is probably Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) initiated in gut by common enemies of neonate, namely, hypoxia, hypothermia, acidosis and sepsis. This is supported by the fact that occult co...

This paper presents work by many developers of the Athena Computing Environment, done over many years. We aim to show how the various components of the Athena system interact with reference to an individual workstation and its particular needs. We describe Hesiod, Kerberos, the locker system, electronic mail, and the software release process for workstation software, and show how they all inter...
