An important key to reconstructing a three-dimensional object depicted by a two-dimensional line drawing projection is face identification. Identification of edge circuits in a 2D projection corresponding to actual faces of a 3D object becomes complex when the projected object is in wireframe representation. This representation is commonly encountered in drawings made during the conceptual desi...

A proximity drawing of a graph is a straight-line drawing where adjacent vertices are represented by points that are deemed to be close according to some proximity measure. A rectangle of innuence drawing is a proximity drawing where the measure is based on the concept of rectangle of innuence. Given two points u and v, the rectangle of innuence of u and v is the axis-aligned rectangle having u...

The Problem: In the past few years our group has developed sketching systems for several design domains, including mechanical engineering and software. Each new domain required writing new shape recognizers. We are currently developing a generic sketching system where a new domain can be added simply by providing textual descriptions of the domain symbols in a shape description language [1]. Ea...

Cancer is currently drawing more and attention worldwide as the leading factor of death worldwide. However, few research directed towards mechanical properties cancer cells treated by targeted...

This paper is referred to the experiences run at Iuav since 2004 in the framework of the EU-FSE founded Courses of Collaborative Composition. In these courses we built up some work/game thought as meaning of a distance collaborative game. Rally around these games, we delivered specific knowledge and portions of technical knowledge referred to the issue of formal structure, shape grammar, and co...
