one of the complex documents in the real world is city maps. in these kinds of maps, text labels overlap by graphics with having a variety of fonts and styles in different orientations. usually, text and graphic colour is not predefined due to various map publishers. in most city maps, text and graphic lines form a single connected component. moreover, the common regions of text and graphic lin...

We are pleased to announce the sixth year of the Symposium on Simulation for Architecture and Urban Design (SimAUD) at the 2015 Spring Simulation Conference. Researchers in simulation, architecture, urban design, human-computer interaction, computer graphics, engineering, software development, education, and business who develop or use modeling, simulation, visualization, validation, or interac...

The Internet is often regarded as a revolutionary technology that in the long run will have immense consequences, both on our everyday life and on how business is conducted. Although still mainly used for content publishing, there are an increasing number of reported cases where it has enabled signi"cant business success. This paper attempts to provide evidence that Internet-enabled business in...

ISO-3D project aims to develop tools in order to analyse and represent business information from large collection of data. The designed tools are mainly representation tools using 3D graphics, sound and animation. In this paper, we will present two of the graphic representation tools which use also sound and animated picture. We will exp lain why and how we use sound and animation with graphica...

The authors describe integration of multiple technologies to enhance student learning. These technologies are used in business telecommunications, database, and introductory MIS courses by different instructors. Tablet PCs are used because of their ease of use and ability to rapidly generate digital graphics from ideas. They support creativity and idea generation in real time. Video streaming i...

Charts and tables are commonly used to visually analyze data. These graphics are simple and easy to understand, but charts show only highly aggregated data and present only a limited number of data values while tables often show too many data values. As a consequence, these graphics may either lose or obscure important information, so different techniques are required to monitor complex dataset...

One third of the workstation business is driven by industrial or scientific applications that heavily depend on the ability to interactively render 3D models whose complexity is increasing far more rapidly than the performance of the graphics subsystems. Simple scenes in 3D video-games may only need a few hundred textured polygons, but models used for mechanical CAD, scientific, geo-science, an...
