DESCRIPTION:Many interesting phenomena occur in atomic structures that are
  poised in a region between rigid and flexible. In this talk\, we describe
  the modern theory of rigidity and show how it can be used to analyze netw
 orks of constraints. These results can be used as input to geometrical sim
 ulation\, where the various rigid parts of a system are moved\, while main
 taining all the constraints\; both equalities and inequalities. \nExamples
  of this approach are given from zeolites\, manganites and proteins (inclu
 ding folding an ancient protein).
