During the past decade, requirements within the US defence community for simulation-based tools to support acquisition, planning, (team) training, and analysis, have resulted in a standard for distributed simulation known as DIS (Distributed Interactive Simulation). The potential advantages of distributed simulation technologies are evident: increased flexibility, building on existing software ...

The Protein Information Resource (PIR) has been maintaining a database of curated protein sequence alignments since 1991. The collection includes superfamily, family and homology domain alignments. CLUSTAL V/W is used to generate multiple sequence alignments and ALNED, an interactive alignment editor, is used to check and correct them. The database has helped in classifying sequences, in defini...

In this paper an incremental method and an interactive tool to improve the performance of word alignment are presented. The most important factor in our proposal is to put a human in the alignment loop. This is achieved by using interactive word alignment, i.e., a word alignment system and a human that are collaborating in order to make word alignment as efficient and accurate as possible. The ...

Maintaining coherence between the independent views of multiple participants at distributed locations is essential in an Embedded Simulation environment. Currently, the Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) protocol maintains coherence by broadcasting the entity state streams from each simulation station. In this dissertation, a novel alternative to DIS that replaces the transmitting sources...

This paper takes a look at narrative forms as of yet unexplored in the field of digital interactive storytelling, and proposes methods for how they can be used in engaging ways for the user. Although the various Digital Interactive Storytelling (DIS) prototypes available produce several different story genres, they stem from the same classic narrative form. With this paper, we aim to introduce ...

In llatllral language processing, many methods have been proposed to solve the ambiguity l)roblems. In this paper, we propose a lechnique to COlnbille a method of interactive disamlfiguation and automatic one tbr anlbiguous words. The characteristic of our method is that the accuracy of the interactive dis-alnbiguation is considered. The method solves the two following l)roblems when combining ...

Our web site (http://ekhidna.biocenter.helsinki.fi/dali_server) runs the Dali program for protein structure comparison. The web site consists of three parts: (i) the Dali server compares newly solved structures against structures in the Protein Data Bank (PDB), (ii) the Dali database allows browsing precomputed structural neighbourhoods and (iii) the pairwise comparison generates suboptimal ali...
