This paper presents a real-world, capacitated examination timetabling problem from Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP), Malaysia. The problem has constraints which have not been modelled before, these being the distance between examination rooms and splitting exams across several rooms. These constraints provide additional challenges in defining a suitable model and in developing a constructive he...

In constructive solid geometry (CSG), highly smooth and manageable blending operations are always desirable. In this paper, we propose two novel ways to blend implicitly defined geometric objects using smooth unit step functions. With the proposed techniques, not only is it direct to build an implicit blending operation with controllable blending range, but also the blending operation can be co...

The general framework of this paper is a reformulation of Hilbert’s program using the theory of locales, also known as formal or point-free topology [28, 12, 33]. Formal topology presents a topological space, not as a set of points, but as a logical theory which describes the lattice of open sets. Points are then infinite ideal objects, defined as particular filters of neighborhoods, while basi...

This review highlights the need in the Pakistani medical education system for teachers and students to be able to: define constructive feedback; provide constructive feedback; identify standards for constructive feedback; identify a suitable model for the provision of constructive feedback and evaluate the use of constructive feedback. For the purpose of literature review we had defined the key...

The rendering of an implicit surface requires many function evaluations of the underlying implicit function. The time efficiency of the rendering is dominated by the number of function evaluations times the efficiency of these evaluations. If the implicit surface is created by means of a CSG model the function evaluations can be made more efficient if the underlying function is a Lipschitz func...

We describe an eecient implementation of a parallel algorithmic skeleton which supports set membership classiication problems in Constructive Solid Geometry. A performance modelling methodology is developed, which realistically predicts the asymptotic performance of speciic CSG applications.
