We identify a new type of refinement that we call interaction refinement that is of great value in designing distributed systems. An interaction refinement step is one in which a system designer decides to implement a given ‘high-level’ interaction as a particular sequence of ‘low-level’ interactions. For example a particular high-level interaction may be specified as ‘identify-client’ involvin...

We describe two use-case applications to illustrate the capabilities of the first XSLT 2.0 processor designed to run within web browsers. The first is a technical documentation application, which permits browsing and searching in a intuitive way. We then present a multi-player chess game application; using the same XSLT 2.0 processor as the first application, it is in fact very different in pur...

A honeypot is a security device that is designed to lure malicious activity to itself. Capturing such malicious activity allows for studying it to understand the operations and motivation of attackers, and subsequently helps to better secure computers and networks. A honeypot does not have any production value. ”It’s a security resource whose value lies in being probed, attacked, or compromised...

Research data services have become a key feature of academic libraries. In this paper, we provide an internal assessment consulting reach and effectiveness for our Data Services provided by the University Libraries at Virginia Tech using client records from 2016 to 2020. Through assessment, explore how service growth across has evolved with time. We also look more closely these aspects one coll...

Factors, which induced positive nurse-client interactions and barriers to positive nurse-client interactions from the perspective of nurses at Holy Family Hospital, were explored. In all, twelve State Registered Nurses participated in semi-structured interviews. Factors which induced positive nurse-client interaction included availability of adequate time, showing empathy, giving prompt care, c...

Molecular chaperones are essential in aiding client proteins to fold into their native structure and in maintaining cellular protein homeostasis. However, mechanistic aspects of chaperone function are still not well understood at the atomic level. We use nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to elucidate the mechanism underlying client recognition by the adenosine triphosphate-independent cha...

With the advances in multimedia databases and the popularization of the Internet, it is now possible to access large multimedia data repositories distributed throughout the world. One of the challenging problems in such an access is how the information in the respective databases can be summarized to enable an intelligent selection of relevant database sites based on visual queries. This paper ...
