This document discusses and outlines the model of computing to be developed by Project Athena. The computing model concentrates on academic needs and does not attempt to encompass research and administrative computing. The description focuses on features that are important to developers and users of applications. Software to be developed by project staff is identified and a discussion of cohere...

The models referred to in the main text, simulate the coupling of mechanical and molecular forces in the early stages of the development of mammalian embryo. The assumptions made in describing single cell mechanics follow the postulates introduced in [1, 2]. As in [1, 2], we describe the cell as an incompressible ellipsoid whose elastic response is characterized by three orthogonal springs plac...

The core idea of the lens model consists in ascribing the individual organism the critical ability to recognize a heterogeneous and intricate selection in the ecology on both the input and output side, by establishing new foci, or simply by ignoring some aspects. In the center of attention within this model is the selection of vital distal issues on the basis of cues, as handled by the “central...

Aggregated (S; s)models purport to provide a structural, microfounded and statistically robust explanation of aggregate investment ‡uctuations. In this paper I analyse these claims, present several empirical puzzles arising from the model and discuss how the model might be extended to account for these puzzles.
