Program refactoring, feature-based and aspect-oriented software synthesis, and model-driven development are disjoint research areas. However, they are all architectural metaprogramming technologies as they treat programs as values and use functions (a.k.a. transformations) to map programs to other programs. In this paper, I explore their underlying connections by reviewing recent advances in ea...

This article illustrates the opportunities and the challenges in an emerging multidisciplinary research area in study of human brain interactions with architectural design: Computational Architectural Neuroscience. We propose to apply main-stream methods from computational neuroscience to transform the commonly static formulation of the interior design evaluation problem into a dynamical system...
