The problem of building virtual models from sensor data increases in importance as powerful graphics rendering hardware becomes widespread. Model building stands at the interface between computer vision and computer graphics, and researchers from both areas have made contributions. We believe that only by a systematic review of the remaining open research question can further progress be made. ...

Less than four years after publication of ISO 14001, thousands of organizations worldwide have adopted the standard. In this article, researchers working with the National Database on Environmental Management Systems (NDEMS) review some preliminary data on organizations’ experiences with EMS adoption and implementation.

I am frustrated and disappointed at the number of weakly validated software engineering research results. I have found none that specifically address my research problems and only a few examples that generally apply. In particular, I have looked for accepted research techniques that can be used with relatively few data points and research methods that address variability issues across organizat...

rooster`s eye has been used a lot in shahnameh and other contexts. poets and authors, following their ancestors, have talked about it as a symbol of beautification, purity, and redness however rooster`s eye doesn’t have any of these features, nor are these features important enough to be noticed by poets. researchers have mentioned some opinions to match these features with rooster`s eye, and...
