A zoo-philological problem

WWW Access to a Philological Application

Our project enhances the accessibility of ancient manuscripts and provide new ways of working with them through a Web server. More precisely, we aim to produce a software tool allowing the historians, and more particularly codicologists and philologists, to read the manuscripts, write annotations, and navigate between the words of the transcription and the matching piece of image in the numeriz...

An O(nlogn) algorithm for the zoo-keeper's problem

The zoo-keeper's problem is to nd a shortest closed zoo-keeper's path starting at a point of the zoo and touching all cages. We present O(nlogn) algorithm for zoo-keeper's problem where n is the input size. The algorithm is based on a new data structure called the oodlight tree. We extend the approach to queries to nd a zoo-keeper's path with arbitrary nal point. We show that the zoo-keeper's q...

A Ubiquitous Zoo Guide

In this paper a novel visitor information system for zoos is described. Vistors going through the zoo hold PDAs close to RFID tags, which are attached to animal cages, and which thus identify the animals. Over WLAN, the PDAs send this ID to a Web server, which sends back a multimedia Web presentation for the respective animal. The novel idea is to additionally attach the Web server to a global ...
