Improvisational Builder: Improvisation as Conversation

To participate in musical improvisations, an interacting system must both generate appropriate musical materials and express those materials appropriately in collaboration with other performers. We have used results from the study of conversation and discourse to identify the major components for a theory of improvisation—listening, composing, and realizing. Our goal is a framework based on a m...

Tuberculosis in Canada: 2002 pre-release.

VILLIN2 Emerges as a Master Builder in Rice.

The architecture of a plant determines its ability to capture solar energy and thus has a striking effect on yield. Plant architecture is the product of coordinated patterns of cell division, expansion, and differentiation. Whereas the molecular mechanisms governing cell division are well established, those regulating cell expansion and differentiation are not. Studies indicate that the cytoske...

IBGP Confederation Provisioning

This paper proposes an optimization method for the design of large scale confederation based BGP networks. We propose a graph based model and an associated metric to evaluate the reliability of large scale autonomous systems. We propose and validate an effective methodology to find the optimal design for a given physical topology. According to our experiments, we consider that replacing the tra...

Interface Builder

Implementation of a graphical user interface for a nontrivial application tends to be tedious and error prone. A simple, visual GUI builder was implemented to explore issues with the current state of graphical application development. Various implementation issues are discussed in relation to enabling a GUI builder tool to be easily extensible to prevent discouraging stagnation of GUI controls....
