Images and computer graphics play an increasingly important role in the design and manufacture of medical prostheses and implants. Images provide guidance on optimal design in terms of location, preparation and the overall shape and configuration of subcomponents. Direct manipulation of a graphical representation provides a natural design environment. RaPiD is a CAD-like knowledge-based assista...

Rigorous modelling techniques and specialised analysis methods support enterprise architects when embarking on enterprise architecture management (EAM). Yet, while customised modelling solutions provide scalability, adaptability and flexibility they are often in conflict with generic or reusable visualisations. We present an approach to augment customised modelling with the techniques of model ...
