Conceptual Designs of Kinetic Facade Systems

Determination of Facade Attributes for Facade Reconstruction

In the last years more and more applications make use of 3d building models. Automatic reconstruction is essential for the acquisition and updating of the huge amount of data. For many applications it is useful to be able to transform the object representation automatically in order to generalize the geometry. For this task a structurally rich description of the object is needed. We presented a...

Augmenting Conceptual Software Designs With Their Rationales

E orts are being put in making available generic, and thus reusable, conceptual software designs for the bene t of knowledge system development. These generic conceptual designs de ne the boundaries of (alternative) solutions to a class of design problems (e.g. design of diagnostic or schedule applications). They allow the design problem to be approached as a con guration task. To increase thei...

Building a Comprehensive Conceptual Framework for Power Systems Resilience Metrics

Recently, the frequency and severity of natural and man-made disasters (extreme events), which have a high-impact low-frequency (HILF) property, are increased. These disasters can lead to extensive outages, damages, and costs in electric power systems. A power system must be built with “resilience” against disasters, which means its ability to withstand disasters efficiently while ensuring the ...

GEM: Requirement-Driven Generation of ETL and Multidimensional Conceptual Designs

At the early stages of a data warehouse design project, the main objective is to collect the business requirements and needs, and translate them into an appropriate conceptual, multidimensional design. Typically, this task is performed manually, through a series of interviews involving two different parties: the business analysts and technical designers. Producing an appropriate conceptual desi...
