Such problems are often encountered in engineering designs: drawing moving targets orbits, however either there is no analytical formula of the orbit equation, or the derivation of getting a track equation is cumbersome; designing size of an equipment requires solving a complex transcendental equation. In order to address these matters, here were cited three instances, plotting the trajectory o...

Graph drawing consists of producing good drawings of graphs, given the vertices and edges (see Figure 1). In general, a ‘good’ drawing exhibits some aesthetic criteria and/or satisfies some constraints in order to make the drawing pleasant and legible for human eyes. Examples of desirable aesthetic criteria described in the literature [1,2,3,4,5,6] are: • show few edges crossings, • show symmet...

Graphs are ubiquitous, finding applications in domains ranging from software engineering to computational biology. While graph theory and graph algorithms are some of the oldest, most studied fields in computer science, the problem of visualizing graphs is comparatively young. This problem, known as graph drawing, is that of transforming combinatorial graphs into geometric drawings for the purp...

In this paper we report on the investigation, description and analysis of communication and co-ordination practices in software engineering projects. We argue that existing models of the software process do not adequately address the situated, day-to-day practices in which software engineers collectively engage, yet it is through these practices that effective co-ordination is achieved. Drawing...

Identifying open problems in an engineering domain is a first step towards making new contributions. To identify problems one often examines existing solutions to recognize opportunities for advances. As the knowledge in a domain grows and multiplies, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep track of advances made, especially in relation to evolving needs. Drawing from goaloriented requirement...

In this paper, we propose a novel architecture to enable engineering content exchange in mobile computing environment by using a language which is extended from eXtensible Markup Language (XML). To solve the challenges that we are facing in mobile computing environment where network resource and computational resource are limited, we use a hierarchy content representation and on-demand progress...

Mr. Roach did his undergraduate civil engineering work under Prof. Hugh Miller, formerly of Clarkson College, now lecturer in civil engineering at Rice. When Mr. Roach graduated he went with the Public Service Commission of New York, and did surveying in connection with the new suburbs of New York City. On March 1, 1916, he accepted a position with the Turner Construction Company, engineers and...

There is a strong need in the United States to increase the number of students from underrepresented groups who pursue careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Drawing from sociocultural theory, we present approaches to establishing collaborations between computer engineering and mathematics/bilingual education faculty to address this need. We describe our work through the ...
