Atmospheric Modeling, Data Assimilation and Predictability
, 2003
"... Numerical weather prediction (NWP) now provides major guidance in our daily weather forecast. The accuracy of NWP models has improved steadily since the first successful experiment made by Charney, Fj!rtoft and von Neuman (1950). During the past 50 years, a large number of technical papers and repor ..."

and reports have been devoted to NWP, but the number of textbooks dealing with the subject has been very small, the latest being the 1980 book by Haltiner & Williams, which was dedicated to descriptions of the atmospheric dynamics and numerical methods for atmospheric modeling. However, in the intervening
Context-Aware Computing Applications
, 1995
"... This paper describes systems that examine and react to an individual's changing context. Such systems can promote and mediate people's mleractlOns with devices, computers, and other people, and they can help navigate unfamiliar places. We bel1eve that a lunded amount of information coveTIn ..."

TIng a per'son's proximale environment is most important for this form of com-puting since the interesting part of the world around us is what we can see, hear, and touch. In this paper we define context-aware computing, and describe four cal-egones of conteL·t-aware applications: proximate
Formalising trust as a computational concept
, 1994
"... Trust is a judgement of unquestionable utility — as humans we use it every day of our lives. However, trust has suffered from an imperfect understanding, a plethora of definitions, and informal use in the literature and in everyday life. It is common to say “I trust you, ” but what does that mean? T ..."

exploration of the possibilities of future work in the area. Summary 1. Overview This thesis presents an overview of trust as a social phenomenon and discusses it formally. It argues that trust is: • A means for understanding and adapting to the complexity of the environment. • A means of providing added
PVM: A Framework for Parallel Distributed Computing
- Concurrency: Practice and Experience
, 1990
"... The PVM system is a programming environment for the development and execution of large concurrent or parallel applications that consist of many interacting, but relatively independent, components. It is intended to operate on a collection of heterogeneous computing elements interconnected by one or ..."

Quicktime VR - an image-based approach to virtual environment navigation.
- In SIGGRAPH 95 Conference Proceedings,
, 1995
"... ABSTRACT Traditionally, virtual reality systems use 3D computer graphics to model and render virtual environments in real-time. This approach usually requires laborious modeling and expensive special purpose rendering hardware. The rendering quality and scene complexity are often limited because of ..."

Coda: A Highly Available File System for a Distributed Workstation Environment
- IN IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTERS
, 1990
"... Coda is a file system for a large-scale distributed computing environment composed of Unix workstations. It provides resiliency to server and network failures through the use of two distinct but complementary mechanisms. One mechanism, server replication,stores copies of a file at multiple servers ..."

The SWISS-MODEL Workspace: A web-based environment for protein structure homology modelling
- BIOINFORMATICS
, 2005
"... Motivation: Homology models of proteins are of great interest for planning and analyzing biological experiments when no experimental three-dimensional structures are available. Building homology models requires specialized programs and up-to-date sequence and structural databases. Integrating all re ..."
