A practical development of engineering simulation-assisted educational AR environments

Software engineering of distributed simulation environments

Michael Capps David Stotts University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Abstract With the increasing popularity of simulation and virtual environment software, it is necessary to provide software engineering techniques to simulation program designers. In this paper we lay out the requirements that any such techniques will have to meet, then suggest a formalism and an interconnection tool that wi...

Practical Algorithms for Incremental Software Development Environments

ion: Clients should be able to view the program (or any subset of it) with or without whitespace, and both viewsshould be equally efficient to produce. Flexibility: The representation should be independent of the language, the whitespace model, the number and types ofwhitespace categories, and the mechanisms by which they are specified and discovered during lexical anal-ysis. The im...

Development of virtual environments for Mechanical Engineering

We outline a procedure for implementing a virtual CNC lathe prototype using software for creating virtual environments. The prototype constructed focus on the lathe’s interlocking system (its functionality) and on its geometric model (its physical design). This project allowed us to identify the possibilities and limitations of applying current Virtual Reality technology for virtual prototyping...

Practical software design for engineering application development

This paper highlights some practical techniques for engineering design application development, which are critical to produce maintainable software design. The practices introduced in the paper are the result of long experience working with software development for engineering design applications. They have been recently employed and enhanced during the reconstruction of a well-known software f...
