Mantra is compatible with widely used software for creating psychological experiments. In Experiments 1 and 2, we validated the spatial and temporal precisi...

Mantra is a shell for hybrid knowledge representation and hybrid inferences. It supports three diierent formalisms: logic, frames, and semantic networks. Mantra was developed in Common Lisp at Karl-sruhe by Bittencourt and Calmet. The OM project seeks to re-engineer Mantra through the use of design patterns, the OMT notation, and C++ as the implementation language. The logic module forms the he...

An understanding of certain network functions is critical for successful network management. Managers must have insight into network topology, protocol performance and fault detection/isolation. The ability to obtain such insight is even more critical when trying to support evolving technologies like multicast. With these technologies, the pace of change is high, modi cations to routing mechani...
