	CSTB Project: Frontiers at the Interface between Computing and Biology: Prospectus
		Computer science and biology are evolving as fields in ways that draw attention to their areas of intersection.
		Within biological computation, there is increasing recognition that biological systems function in ways that appear "computational": DNA molecules have been assessed as parallel, finite state machines to apply to combinatorial search problems, and alterations have been made to cells to achieve computation.
		Because "computing and biology" is not monolithic, it will be important to explore several sets of topics, both to build understanding of the diversity of the arena and to explore possibilities for cross-cutting themes and issues.

	The autonomic computing edge: Keeping in touch with touchpoints (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The previous installment of The autonomic computing edge was the first in a series that focuses on the autonomic computing architecture.
		This is one of the key values of autonomic computing: a single manageability interface, rather than the numerous sorts of manageability interfaces that exist today to manage various types of resources.
		The effector interface enables an autonomic manager to manage the touchpoint, and it also supports two interaction styles: perform-operation is used to control the behavior of the touchpoint (for example, to alter state data values or send commands); solicit-response enables the touchpoint to "call out" to its manager.

	RPIWebHomepage - Multi Interface Computing
		A user interface is the portion of an application that is concerned with managing the terminal, i.e., the collection of input and output devices through which a person interacts with an application.
		For example, there are character-cell interfaces, such as CURSES and Emacs Lisp, for managing character-cell terminals.
		For an application to be considered portable, it must be possible to compile the sources code on more than one platform (with perhaps very minor changes), then to run the object modules on their respective platforms to obtain equivalent results.

	IBM Research: DreamSpace: natural interaction
		Computers (information/communication systems in general) can be designed and built to allow humans to interact in natural ways, using the common skills of speaking, gesturing, glancing, moving around, reaching out.
		Making computers more natural to use ("natural computing") requires a new kind of "natural interface" -- one that allows humans to communicate the way they naturally communicate with each other: speaking, gesturing, moving around, etc. The DreamSpace (and its predecessor, the Visualization Space) uses a particular kind of natural interface.
		Deviceless natural interfaces are useful (and fun) for a wide range of systems: embedded into your car; embedded into a desktop or workbench; embedded into your kitchen or living room; or embedded into the tabletop at your favorite cafe or diner.

	Macsimum News - Apple files patent for an audio interface for the iPod
		In some embodiments, the computing device is a hand-held device that may have a scaled-down computer architecture that facilitates the device’s portability.
		The relatively powerful computing resources of a host computer system create audio files based upon text strings that are then transferred to a smaller computing platform, such as a hand-held device.
		The method includes at least receiving a selection of a user interface control on a hand-held device, selecting an audio file associated with the selected user interface control, and playing the selected audio file such that an audio prompt is audiblized (i.e., aurally presented) for the user.

	ZAM Project UNICORE Plus
		Computational research and engineering used in combination with established methods of analysis and observation makes investigation of natural phenomena and technical problems possible beyond the reach of the traditional methods alone.
		Indeed, for macro-scale phenomena such as astrophysics and planetary weather, which cannot be controlled or reproduced in the laboratory, computational research may offer the only possibility for controlled experimentation.
		On the other hand, interfaces to supercomputing resources over the network tend to be both complicated and vendor specific.

	Application binary interface - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computer software, an application binary interface (ABI) describes the low-level interface between an application program and the operating system, between an application and its libraries, or between component parts of the application.
		An ABI differs from an application programming interface (API) in that an API defines the interface between source code and libraries, so that the same source code will compile on any system supporting that API, whereas an ABI allows compiled object code to function without changes on any system using a compatible ABI.
		A complete ABI, such as the Intel Binary Compatibility Standard (iBCS), allows a program from one operating system supporting that ABI to run without modifications on any other such system.

		The obvious benefit to speech recognition is that it frees your hands from having to operate the computer: Imagine yourself elbow-deep in blueberries only to realize that you don't remember the required proportions called for in the pie recipe on your computer.
		The oldest element in nearly all computing interfaces is the part that's used more than all the others: the display.
		It's telling that, when asked to imagine their ideal interface, many interface design experts humbly decline to talk about their area of research, instead falling back on abstract descriptions of knowledge-sharing devices and intelligent assistants.
