This virtual system can be used to determine (1) the optimal performance criteria for the vehicles and its application, (2) the advantages and disadvantages of collaborative application tasks between multiple UUVs, and (3) the optimal communication links between remote locations, The current DVECS is being tested between the University of Hawaii in Honolulu and the University of Tokyo in Tokyo as a joint, international research program. It also utilizes a virtual reality projection system, which immerses the user for optimal visualization,

This approach includes all the constraints in a biomolecule that are important at room temperature. A rigid region decomposition determines the rigid regions (both stressed and unstressed) and the flexible regions that separate them. Such a rigid region decomposition can be used as input to for a Monte Carlo dynamics in which the flexible regions are allowed to move, consistent with the constraints.

This approach uses constraint theory and includes all the constraints in a biomolecule that are important at room temperature. A rigid region decomposition determines the rigid regions (both stressed and unstressed) and the flexible regions that separate them. Enzymes usually have a rigid core for stability and flexible regions for functionality. The rigid region decomposition can be used as input to for a Monte Carlo dynamics in which the flexible regions are allowed to move, consistent with the constraints. Results are illustrated with the proteins HIV protease and barnase.

It is important to nd methods of extracting useful information from these ensembles of snapshots in order to document the motion as the system evolves. The most interesting information is contained in the correlated motions of individual constituents rather than in their absolute motion. We present a statistical method to identify hierarchies of correlated motions from a series of two or more snapshot congurations. This method
