- NASA needs astronauts - apply here
- Thought I'd take a detour from discussions about god to Space exploration, just because I'm enjoying staying mostly off-topic this week. It wasn't my intention that the talkbacks to my last post would take such a theological bent, but so what? The discussion was interesting, and...

- Robotic telesurgery by remote surgeons
- In a few years, telesurgery performed by multi-armed robots remotely controlled by real surgeons located hundreds or thousands of kilometers away will become commonplace. Today, Canadian doctors from the Centre for Minimal Access Surgery CMAS are developing the technology for NASA. Their goal is to build a portable robotic unit...

- Polar robots to explore the Arctic
- It's now almost certain that the world's ice shelves are melting. And while satellites provide lots of data about their evolution, ground-based weather stations could be even more useful. But if scientists can no longer stay on fragile and volatile ice sheets, what can they do? They can use specially...

- A Formal Object-Oriented Analysis for Software Reliability: Design for Verification
- This paper presents the OOA design step in a methodology which integrates automata-based model checking into a commercially supported OO software development process. The paper defines and illustrates a set of design rules for OOA models with executable semantics, which lead to automata models with tractable state spaces. The design...
