Puppet is a configuration management system used by hundreds of organizations to manage thousands of machines. It is designed to automate tasks such as application configuration, service orchestration, VM provisioning, and more. The heart of Puppet is a declarative domain-specific language that specifies a collection of resources (packages, user accounts, files, etc.), their desired state (e.g....

Puppet is a popular declarative framework for specifying and managing complex system configurations. The Puppet framework includes a domain-specific language with several advanced features inspired by object-oriented programming, including user-defined resource types, ‘classes’ with a form of inheritance, and dependency management. Like most real-world languages, the language has evolved in an ...

In 1965 Angelman described three children whose clinical features were sufficiently similar to warrant the constitution of a new syndrome-so-called 'Puppet Children'. It was immediately apparent to us that two patients whom we had studied for several years conformed to his description. Moreover, they show certain unusual EEG features which, we suggest, constitute another aspect of the syndrome....

CoPuppet is a framework for the development of performances of virtual puppetry. In particular, it defines a class of interactive systems in which to realize collaborative performances involving several puppeteers. Users are able to control puppets’ body parts and interact with the puppets by producing gestures which are captured by video devices and translated into control parameters for the p...

This paper describes the generation of expressive gestures on a robotic puppet controlled using behaviorbased method. Recent findings on biological motion mechanisms provide an inspiring model for controlling high dimensional robot with motor primitives. The modular features of primitives make them the building blocks for constructing complex behaviors. The inborn similarity between gesture and...

We have built an embodied puppet interface to explore the control and cognitive relations players establish with their virtual avatars. We are particularly interested in how these relations could be extended and what lasting effects occur. Here we report the results of a study that revealed that altering the mapping between the embodied puppet and virtual avatar led to changes in the way people...

Using Punch and Judy as a story domain, we describe an interactive puppet show, where the flow and content of the story can be influenced by the actions of the audience. As the puppet show is acted out, the audience reacts to events by cheering or booing the characters. This changes the emotional state of each agent, potentially causing them to change their actions, altering the course of the n...
