A feast of membrane protein structures in Madrid. Workshop: Pumps, channels and transporters: structure and function.

Determining the atomic-resolution structure of integral membrane proteins is an adventure for those with a strong stomach, but the results from the last 3 years formed a veritable feast of structures at the recent meeting in Madrid (February 12–14, 2001). Structure is an essential prerequisite to understanding how membrane proteins function and, in addition, how their functions can be modified ...

22nd European Workshop for Rheumatology Research, Leiden, The Netherlands, 28 February–3 March 2002

The European Workshop for Rheumatology Research met this year in Leiden, The Netherlands. The Workshop provided a platform to feast on new technologies and how they have taken research programmes forward. While there will be the inevitable delay during which mechanisms are devised for analysing the huge amount of information generated by these technologies, there is a lot already to look forwar...

Towards a Theory of Software Evolution - And its Practical Impact

After years of study of software evolution processes, most recently through the FEAST projects, it appears that now there is a sufficient body of knowledge that can serve as basis for the development of an axiomatic theory of software evolution. Such body is represented by, for example, patterns and behavioural invariants observed in attributes of industrially evolved systems. This paper discus...
