Creating seating plans: a practical application

This paper examines the interesting problem of designing seating plans for large events such as weddings and gala dinners where, amongst other things, the aim is to construct solutions where guests are sat on the same tables as friends and family but, perhaps more importantly, are kept away from those they dislike. This problem is seen to be NP-complete from a number of different perspectives. ...

One Practical Algorithm of Creating Teaching Ontologies

The paper presents one practical approach aimed at developing teaching ontologies. The underlying research framework is pursuing a methodology that will scaffold the process of knowledge structuring and ontology design. Moreover, special stress should be placed on visual design as a powerful learning mind tool. For more comprehensible understanding the process of developing a practical ontology...

Creating by Reusing Learning Design Solutions

The widespread adoption of IMS Learning Design (LD) specification supporting actual educational practice largely depends on the fulfillment of an important requirement: teachers should be able to create their own Units of Learning (UoLs). Many of the proposed design processes for creating UoLs are based on the reuse of complete or non-complete learning designs at different levels of granularity...

A practical approach to creating environment maps using digital images

Conventional panoramic stereo camera heads have a horizontal displacement structure. When a camera head is used in generating a spatial panorama, it may encounter occlusion inconsistency in the overlap region of two adjacent viewing angles; that is, occlusion may occur from one viewing angle, but not from an adjacent angle. Also, computing spatial panorama may become unnecessarily complex. This...
