Hexadecimal Grid Graph Representation of Multilayer Rectangular Dissections

Multilayer rectangular dissections have been considered such as models of multi page books in spreadsheets, 3D floor plans and stratum maps in terrain surfaces. In this paper, we deal with a representation of the multilayer rectangular dissections that are effective for ruled line oriented operations and introduce hexadecimal grids corresponding to multilayer rectangular dissections. And we sho...

Satisfying Ranged Sets of Design Requirements Using Design Capability Indices as Metrics

In this paper we propose the use of design capability indices for use in robust design. These indices allow the design requirements to vary within a certain range. Design capability indices are based on process capability indices from statistical process control and provide an alternate approach to the use of Taguchi’s signal-to-noise ratio which is often used for robust design. Successful impl...

Phase Transitions in Random Dyadic Tilings and Rectangular Dissections

We study rectangular dissections of an n × n lattice region into rectangles of area n, where n = 2 for an even integer k. We show that there is a natural edgeflipping Markov chain that connects the state space. A similar edge-flipping chain is also known to connect the state space when restricted to dyadic tilings, where each rectangle is required to have the form R = [s2, (s + 1)2]×[t2, (t+1)2...

Satisfying application user requirements: A next-generation tool environment for parallel systems

While productive use of parallel systems for business applications is quickly growing, their usage for scientific applications is far below expectations. The main reason is that programming of parallel systems is still far too complex. Starting from an analysis of the user requirements, it is the purpose of this paper to explain our strategy towards next-generation parallel programming environm...
