There are many tools and techniques available to understand and analyze a system at the architectural level. Each of these may provide its own perspective of the key architectural elements of the system. We introduce the process of architectural synthesis to deal with the problem of integrating these different architectural perspectives. We emphasize the utility of the synthesis process in supp...

This research is focused on using a variety of forms of visualization combined with computer vision within mixed reality environments to understand more about architectural patterns and processes. Can we use this new space created by mixed reality to increase the capacity to process, analyze and transform architectural data? Do the web of relationships made possible between the physical, digita...

the intervention of urban design in irans architectural structures has been for many years a challenging issue for architects and urban designers over their professional realm. the preservation of architectural structures in iran has always resorted to extremes. this control and direction has sometimes resulted in exclusion of architecture position and has sometimes, once faced with lack of pro...

The increasing importance of sustainability in town planning and architectural design is strongly questioning the actual logic of built environment dispersion. The peripheral extension of cities is indeed leading to irrational uses of ground, growing environmental impacts and important infrastructural costs. Looked at from that point of view, the goal of the Ecoparc project is the regeneration ...

Whilst the number of 3D geo-spatial digital models of buildings with cultural heritage interest is burgeoning most lack semantic annotation that could be used to inform users of mobile and desktop applications about the architectural features and origins of the buildings. As part of an ongoing project this research describes methods (including template matching and SIFT) for enriching 3D models...

Executive Summary This paper discusses the requirements and challenges inherent in the design of a carrier-class network operating system (OS). Key facets of Juniper Networks ® JUNOS ® Software, Juniper's network operating system, are used to illustrate the evolution of OS design and underscore the relationship between functionality and architectural decisions. The challenge of designing a cont...
