AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a very promising technology for building interactive web applications. At the same time, AJAX significantly complicates the development of the client side of web applications. The paper demonstrates the possibility of utilizing the UniTESK test development technology for testing the client side functionality of AJAX web applications. Using UniTESK, test...

The purpose of this short article is to examine certain aspects of protein functionality with relation to some key organizing ideas. This is important from a computational viewpoint in order to take account of modelling both biological systems and knowledge of these systems. We look at some of the lexical dimensions of the function and how certain constructs can be related to underlying ideas. ...

The objective of this paper is to study, how well the new organizational forms called virtual organizations are functioning. The ultimate purpose is to develop a more coherent theoretical account of virtual organizations and their various forms, e.g. teams, companies and networks. The practical aim is to develop bases to analyse and model virtual organizations. In the first chapter, reasons for...

Data mining slowly evolves from simple discovery of frequent patterns and regularities in large data sets toward interactive, user-oriented, on-demand decision supporting. Since data to be mined is usually located in a database, there is a promising idea of integrating data mining methods into database management systems (DBMS). In this paper we present the results of developing our research pr...

Model-based GUI testing (MGT) is emerging as a promising approach for testing applications with a graphical user interface (GUI). Currently, test models in MGT approaches are close to the GUI implementation with limited ability to represent abstract actions. This paper introduces the Action-Event Framework (AEF), a MGT framework. This framework helps testers abstract away from low-level details...

Under the influence of a new medium, a genre may evolve into variants of the original genre or even into new genre. Genre, even through such evolution, are normally characterized by the tuple, , and little attention is paid to the functionality afforded by the new medium. The combination of the computer and the Internet, however, has resulted in the emergence of cybergenre, a new...

Diverse structural, functional and valuable polysaccharides are synthesized by bacteria of all taxa and secreted into the external environment. These polysaccharides are referred to as exopolysaccharides and they may either be homopolymeric or heteropolymeric in composition and of diverse high molecular weights (10 to 1000 kDa). The material properties of exopolysaccharides have revolutionized...

Rserve is a TCP/IP server which allows other programs to use facilities of R from various languages without the need to initialize R or link to R library. Every connection has a separate workspace and working directory. Clientside implementations are available for popular languages such as C/C++ and Java. Rserve supports remote connection, authentication and file transfer. This paper describes ...
