Configuration Theorems on Bipartite Frameworks

Component Configuration Management for Frameworks

Object-oriented Design frameworks are increasingly recognized as better components than objects. In this paper, we briefly explain the framework concept, show a COM implementation, and discuss the accompanying configuration management issues.

Configuration Spaces of Linkages

This paper studies the configuration space of all possible positions of a linkage in R n. For example, it shows that for every compact algebraic set, there is a linkage whose configuration space is analytically isomorphic to a finite number of copies of the algebraic set. If flexible edges are allowed, any compact set given by polynomial equalities and inequalities is the configuration space of...

On Loop Spaces of Configuration Spaces

This article gives an analysis of topological and homological properties for loop spaces of configuration spaces. The main topological results are given by certain choices of product decompositions of these spaces, as well as “twistings” between the factors. The main homological results are given in terms of extensions of the “infinitesimal braid relations” or “universal YangBaxter Lie relations”.
