The concepts of the experimental design system that are discussed are feature modeling and geometrical constraints. The main technique for creating the user environment is Virtual Reality. Feature modeling forms the basis for managing the design data. To start with, data storage is implemented in a Relational Data Base Management System. Along with this a (traditional) interface is developed fo...

Religious place attachment is an affective bond that develops between people and their religious settings. The published literature shows that although religion has a significant impact on the public ‘place attachment’, the architectural features and attributes of the places could still play an influencing role in strengthening this attachment. However, the role of architectural characteristics...

Distributed object oriented software is gaining interest. Nevertheless, developing distributed systems is inherently more difficult than creating single-machine applications. Middleware solutions and distributed object frameworks are intended to help developers in building distributed software. Deciding on which distributed technology to deploy, however, is not straightforward. In this paper, w...

Retrieve the structure of model and the motion of camera is a classical and hot topic in computer vision and photogrammetry. A lot of automatic or semiautomatic techniques have been developed to optimize the retrieving processing from accuracy, stability and reality perspectives. These techniques are variant from data source, feature selection for matching, feature clustering and 3D model repre...

To program a processor, you need to have some model of how it behaves. But providing accurate functional models of processors is challenging. Traditionally, the behavior of a processor is specified by documentation that describes its Instruction Set Architecture, or ISA. This documentation is usually long, making it laborious to produce, and it is often riddled with errors, typos, and inconsist...

Supporting architectural design by means of computers requires the development of formal representations of design information. The paper reviews the way information is dealt with in design and describes this as the dynamic nature of design. This leads to the notion that an information model should evolve along with the development of a design.

Consideration of services in the Intelligent Network and telecommunications leads to the definition of ANISE (Architectural Notions In Service Engineering). This is a rigorous language for defining services systematically using a hierarchy of constituent features. The basic telephone call is used as an illustrative example, supplemented by a number of variations that show how ANISE can easily c...

Abstract Digital architecture, as a proceeding architectural style, has caused fundamental evolutions in architectural design and building appearance via applying complex geometries and topologies. Computers and digital tools have truly altered the design process and architectural conception facilitating production of new eye catching forms. Avant-garde architectural forms have emerged from the...
