Social software have been triggering transformations that are changing the way people relate, use and are affected by technology. The opportunities and challenges brought by this kind of interactive systems require traditional methods of design and evaluation to be rethought and new concepts, such as human and technical values, be considered in computing systems. This paper presents a discussio...

Microsatellites are repeated small sequence motifs that are highly polymorphic and abundant in the genomes of eukaryotes. Often they are the molecular markers of choice. To aid the development of microsatellite markers we have developed a module that integrates a program for the detection of microsatellites (TROLL), with the sequence assembly and analysis software, the Staden Package. The modul...

In this paper, the developmental software environment for humanoids is introduced. This environment has following features. (1)A hardware concealment function which save the trouble with hardware improvements. (2)An incremental expansion function which supports a long-term development by many developers. (3)An centralised management of body information which enables to share softwares between d...
