Predicting the evolution of software engineering technology is, at best, a dubious proposition; most typically, it is a frustrating exercise in disappointment and anxiety. It is not difficult to see why: the evolution of software technology is fast paced, and is determined by a dizzying array of factors, many of them outside the arena of software engineering, and most of them cannot be identifi...

T he emerging capability to observe and organize matter at the atomic level has captured the attention of government, the science and engineering communities, and the general public. Huge allocations of financial and personnel resources are now being poured into ventures of research, exploration, and development with the hope that nanoscience will provide the knowledge and skills required to ac...

Symmetry and regularity abound in architectural models, often as a result of economical, manufacturing, functional, or aesthetic considerations. We show how recent work on symmetry detection and structure discovery can be utilized to analyze architectural designs and real-world artifacts digitized using 3D scanning technology. This allows reverse engineering of procedural models that facilitate...
