Special issue: Mathematical methods for CAD

In this special issue of Computer-Aided Design, mathematical and geometrical methods are presented for a set of problems in computer-aided design. In particular, the issue contains seven papers that deal with topics in the synthesis and analysis of surfaces and solids. The first three papers deal with topics in surface design. A basic problem in shape design is the fitting of smooth surfaces ov...

Special Issue on Human Work Interaction Design

IFIP 13.6 Human Work Interaction Design (HWID) is a working group, which aims to establish relationships between empirical work-domain studies and Human Computer Interaction (HCI) design. Our concern is to extend the long tradition of HCI to study the connections between interaction design and the work context, in the light of the fact that the world that we work in has become much more digital...

Special Issue on Human Detection and Recognition

W ITH A very security-conscious society, biomet-rics-based authentication and identification have become one of the key technologies for many important applications. It is generally believed that biometrics can provide the necessary accuracy and reliability for applications, such as access control. Biometrics research and technology continue to mature rapidly, driven by pressing industrial and ...

Special Issue on Modeling Human Activities

Understanding and modeling human activities is essential for designing and evaluating interactive systems. Models of tasks and activities help to make explicit the assumptions that not only influence the shaping of the system under design, but also guide the overall development process. Task modeling is one of the oldest techniques in Human-Computer Interaction (Diaper & Stanton, 2003). It is a...
