Protein folding in cells is regulated by networks of chaperones, including the heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) system, which consists of the Hsp40 cochaperone and a nucleotide exchange factor. Hsp40 mediates complex formation between Hsp70 and client proteins prior to interaction with Hsp90. We used mass spectrometry (MS) to monitor assemblies formed between eukaryotic Hsp90/Hsp70/Hsp40, Hop, p23...

This diploma thesis presents a generic approach to complex Physical Mobile Interaction that is based on the exploitation of Semantic Web Services. In this context, a framework is introduced that uses the flexibility and expressiveness of Semantic Web Service descriptions for the automatic and dynamic generation of adaptable user interfaces that support and facilitate Physical Mobile Interaction...

We present a method to secure the complete path between a server and the local human user at a network node. This is useful for scenarios like internet banking, electronic signatures, or online voting. Protection of input authenticity and output integrity and authenticity is accomplished by a combination of traditional and novel technologies, e.g., SSL, ActiveX, and DirectX. Our approach does n...

Contemporary ways of doing business are heavily dependent on the e-Commerce/ e-Business paradigm. The highest priority of an e-Commerce Web site’s management is to assure pertinent Quality-of-Service (QoS) levels of their Web services continually, in order to keep the potential e-Customers satisfied. Otherwise, it faces an immense possibility of losing both e-Customers and revenues, along with ...

In order for agent technology to fulfill its promise, it must be integrated with other existing technologies. In this paper we address one of the problems occurring in a real-world agent integration project— interaction between agents and non-agents. The proposed solution is designed to provide non-agents (clients in particular) access to the agent services, without restricting the agents.

Over the past decades the field of education has witnessed the introduction of Internet, a new and revolutionary technology that seems to radically alter the way humans teach and learn. Offering thin client solution for Orang Asli provides opportunities for the team to undertake human-computer interaction related studies. Thin client is an effective and efficient ways to provide least computer ...

Providing useful and usable visual interaction for web-based applications is a challenge without requiring client-side support such as Java applets. We describe Cliki, which provides web-based lightweight support for visual systems. Cliki makes minimal assumptions about the client used to view the web pages, meaning applications that use it are highly accessible.

We propose a standard level of support for nomadic computing in which a mobile client can move into unfamiliar environments and obtain services for which it has no corresponding client RPC stub. We call this activity service discovery and motivate its importance for mobile computing. This paper describes the general components of service discovery and points out where traditional paradigms of d...

This paper presents the client-servlet-coprocess interaction model, a new form of the client-server model. The client-servlet-coprocess model uses an HTTP Java servlet to specialize a servlet-enabled Web server to provide on-line client sessions with an interactive program run as a coprocess for the servlet. This model is designed for experimenting online with prototypical implementations of th...

Client synthesis for complex Web services is a critical and still open topic as it will enable more flexibility in the deployment of such services. In previous works, our team has developed a theoretical framework based on process algebra that has led to algorithms and tools for the client interaction. Here, we show how to generalise our approach for aspect oriented Web services.
