.... To verify the consistency of our model we used an automatic type checker and theorem prover Z EVES [11] To validate our model, we checked the theorems inferred from it against published works on COM, and also submitted them in a natural language form to the designers of the standard [26], who accepted the implications that we derived. We first model the basic concepts underlying the interface negotiation and aggregation mechanisms: components, interfaces, interface types and identifiers. Then we state axioms formalizing the QueryInterface and aggregation rules. 4.1. Interfaces ....

....model is that it provides a method to partition j to the r arms according to Eq. 5.22) while also providing a meaningful characterization of the internal forces and moments in the object. The general idea is to replace the object with an actuated linkage which can resist the same internal forces [Williams, 1994]. Consider a multi arm system with r robots grasping the same object. A virtual linkage is a mechanism connecting the r end effectors with actuated prismatic and spherical joints to characterize the object s internal forces and moments. Since forces applied by the robots act to produce stress ....

....its results. While the vendors of various capture systems are continually improving all of the varieties of systems, the experience of users in practice is still dominated by the limitations of particular devices. Motion capture for animation has a long, fascinating, but poorly documented history [WC]. The earliest motion capture systems used mechanical armatures to measure joint angles. Early examples used goniometric harnesses designed for medical analysis to drive analog computers. More recently, the use of mechanical technology has primarily been used to create puppets. Systems designed to ....

....challenges of dealing with large numbers of state constraints in system representation. In this regard, our work is related to ongoing work at NASA on immobots, and in particular on developing a model based executive to complement work on model based mode identification and transition management (Pell Williams 1997). Summary and Discussion In this paper we introduced the notion of integrating generic procedures with a traditional model based representation of system behaviour. This integration enables us to program model based systems, and to exploit both nondeter minism in our programming language and ....

....yet first class data objects. There are three main causes for this. Most of the systems in currently in use, such as Pandora and the Lancaster MNI [Blair93] use multimedia peripherals that work beside the main machine rather than as part of it. Secondly, even in systems like the J Video project [Berc93] that do take the video through the processor there is no operating system assistance, so the main concern of the application is the real time aspects of the data. Finally the movement of the continuous data tends to cause the network subsystem to become the system bottleneck. Despite their ....

....to HTTP, perhaps because the development of HTTP caching has been somewhat haphazard. The first published suggestion for delta encoding appears to have been by Williams et al. in a paper about HTTP cache removal policies [18] but these authors did not elaborate on their design until later [17]. The possibility of compressing HTTP messages seems to have an longer history, going back at least to the early drafts of the HTTP 1.0 specification. However, until recently, it appears that nobody had attempted to quantify the potential benefits of loss free compression, although the GloMop ....

....into problems. For example, Let s say the user zooms way in to paint a scene at a fine scale, then pulls out to paint an atmospheric wash at a coarse scale, and finally zooms back in to touch up fine scale details. How should the system implement this A straightforward approach, used by Williams[26], is to immediately apply the coarse scale operations to the finer level pixels. But this is computationally prohibitive for highly scaled scenes, since the number of fine scale pixels affected grows exponentially with the difference between coarse and fine scale. Clearly a pyramid of some kind is ....
