WebWatcher: A Tour Guide for the World Wide Web
We explore the notion of a tour guide software agent for assisting users browsing the World Wide Web. This paper describes a simple but operational tour guide, called WebWatcher, which has given over 5000 tours to people browsing CMU’s School of Computer Science Web pages.

Active And Supportive Computer-Mediated Resources For Student-To-Student Conversation
We provide quantitative data that suggests that seventh grade students who used PIE learned some of the basic principles of probability. Two cases studies are that illustrate how communication supported by computer-mediated representations contributed to this success.

Mulitmodal User Interfaces in the Open Agent Architecture
The design and development of the Open Agent Architecture (OAA) system has focused on providing access to agentbased applications through an intelligent, cooperative, distributed, and multimodal agent-based user interfaces. The current multimodal interface supports a mix of spoken language, handwriting and gesture, and is adaptable to the user’s preferences, resources and environment.

Development and validation of a method to extract and quantitate paromomycin and gentamicin from an Aquaphillic® cream formulation
Butanol and dilute sulfuric acid were used to extract paromomycin and gentamicin from Aquaphilic®-based formulated creams. The extraction procedure was validated over different antibiotic concentration ranges for linearity, precision, accuracy, limited specificity, sensitivity and solution stability.

On the determination of epipoles using cross-ratios
We study the problem of computing the position of the epipoles in a pair of uncalibrated images. The approach, which is based on the invariance of the cross-ratio by the epipolar transformation

Role Of Technology In Student-Scientist Partnerships: Perspective From The National Science Foundation
Abstract A variety of student-scientist partnerships (SSPs) have evolved over the years in the K-12 classroom, providing students, teachers, and scientists with activities and experiences not available from any other source. Characteristically these activities are inquiry-based or design-oriented and aligned with Benchmarks (American Association for the Advancement of Science, 1993), (National Research Council of the National Academy…

A chemical assessment and HPLC assay validation of bulk paromomycin sulfate
This paper describes the compositional analyses of four paromomycin sulfate samples and features a validated HPLC assay method that relies on the fluorescence detection of isoindole derivatives of paromomycin, formed by post-column reaction with o-phthalaldehyde and 2-mercaptoethanol.

Many Robots Make Short Work
Abstract Indoor mobile robots are becoming reliable enough in navigation tasks to consider working with teams of robots. Using SRI International’s open-agent architecture (OAA) and SAPHIRA robot-control system, we configured three physical robots and a set of software agents on the internet to plan and act in coordination. Users communicate with the robots using a…
