The TRANSFAC database on transcription factors, their binding sites, nucleotide distribution matrices and regulated genes as well as the complementing database TRANSCompel on composite elements have been further enhanced on various levels. A new web interface with different search options

-level functional partitioning. These partitions are mapped into information process-ing modules. The modules are assigned to nodes of the distributed information systems. A central role is assigned to modules that mediate between the users ' workstations and data re-sources. Mediators contain

Click is a new software architecture for building flexible and configurable routers. A Click router is assembled from packet processing modules called elements. Individual elements implement simple router functions like packet classification, queueing, scheduling, and interfacing with network

Abstract: We have developed a toolbox and graphic user interface, EEGLAB, running under the cross-platform MATLAB environment (The Mathworks, Inc.) for processing collections of single-trial and/or averaged EEG data of any number of channels. Available functions include EEG data, channel and event

of CNS is highly flexible, allowing for extension to other structure determination methods, such as electron microscopy and solid state NMR spectroscopy. CNS has a hierarchical structure: a high-level hypertext markup language (HTML) user interface, task-oriented user input files, module files, a

This paper describes the abstract interface principl~: and shows how it can be applied in the design ol device interface modules. The purpose of this principle is to reduce maintenance costs for embedded real-time software by facilitating the adaptation of the software to altered hardware

aring in that grammar. Problem-oriented languages are also used to describe computations over trees, storage of entities and their properties, and production of output text. At first glance, the use of a variety of languages simply makes Eli harder to learn. The payoff, however, is significant. For example, most of the interesting tasks of any language processor involve computations over trees. A description of such a computation in a programming language embodies relationships among values at various nodes in the tree, a traversal algorithm, and the necessary intermediate storage. If an attribute grammar is used for the description, however, only the relationships among values need be described - the traversal algorithm and intermediate storage requirements can be deduced from those relationships [7]. Experience shows that hand-coded tree computations have a larger investment in the traversal algorithm and intermediate storage management than in the computation of the relationships.

. The instrumentation is controlled by the Performance Consultant module, that automatically directs the placement of instrumentation. The Performance Consultant has a well-defined notion of performance bottlenecks and program structure, so that it can associate bottlenecks with specific causes and specific parts of a

WinBUGS is a fully extensible modular framework for constructing and analysing Bayesian full probability models. Models may be specified either textually via the BUGS language or pictorially using a graphical interface called DoodleBUGS. WinBUGS processes the model specification and constructs

specification makes it easy for the successive developers to exploit or modify the software or hardware design. Such merit is particularly useful for aviation and military applications in which reliability and maintainability are very important aspects for judging the success of a project. Interface Modules (IM
