Many works has been made to improve the users browsing on Web sites notably with the adaptation techniques which allow to guide the users according to their profile in order to direct them to the most interesting pages. Considerable improvements has been made in this domain but it is very difficult to judge the impact of the implementation of such techniques on a site. In this paper, we are goi...

XSLT and XQuery are the languages developed by the W3C for transforming and querying XML data. XSLT and XQuery have the same expressive power and can be indeed translated into each other. In this paper, we show how to translate XSLT stylesheets into equivalent XQuery expressions. We especially investigate how to simulate the match test of XSLT templates by two different approaches which use rev...

The building of prototypes is an important part of the product design and development process. This paper examines factors in prototyping, including part count and time spent on design and fabrication activity, and their correlations with design outcome. The research questions asked: Do simpler prototypes mean a more successful design? Does more prototyping lead to better designs? Does the amou...

Prototyping future Internet technologies is an important but complicated task. To ease this process, we have developed the Future Internet Toolbox (FIT). In this paper, we demonstrate how it facilitates prototyping in practice by presenting three scenarios that have been implemented using FIT.

Since the Internet uses destination-based packet forwarding, malicious attacks have been launched using spoofed source addresses. In an effort to enhance the Internet with IP source address validation, we prototyped an implementation of the IPv6 Source Address Validation Architecture (SAVA) and conducted the evaluation on an IPv6 test-bed. This paper reports our prototype implementation and the...

In this paper we propose a prototype size selection method for a set of sample graphs. Our first contribution is to show how approximate set coding can be extended from the vector to graph domain. With this framework to hand we show how prototype selection can be posed as optimizing the mutual information between two partitioned sets of sample graphs. We show how the resulting method can be use...

This paper presents an approach for analysing and prototyping urban road network routes based on multiple criteria, such as spatial quality, transportation cost and aesthetics, in order to evaluate the quality of people’s use of road networks. A prototype is developed to analyse routes and accessibility in road layouts from a number of design and user related perspectives. A case study is used ...

The analysis of cardiac dynamics – especially of the left ventricle – is a means for evaluating the healthiness of the heart. In case that a malfunction has been detected and afterwards has been treated, the question arises whether the treatment was successful or not. On a longer time scale, it is of clinical interest to compare the results of follow-up studies with those of former examinations...

AxialGen is a research prototype for automatically generating the axial map, which consists of the least number of the longest visibility lines (or axial lines) for representing individual linearly stretched parts of open space of an urban environment. Open space is the space between closed spaces such as buildings and street blocks. This paper aims to provide an accessible guide to software Ax...
