The family of iterative methods for static and natural vibration analysis, based on preconditioned conjugate gradient (PCG) method with aggregation multilevel preconditioning, is considered. Both: the element-by-element procedure for assembling of stiffness matrix and sparse direct solver for it factoring and fast forward − backward substitutions ensure the high stability of methods against ill...

My talk will focus on building a biolexicon by leveraging existing bio-resources, combining them within a common, standardized lexical, terminological, conceptual representation framework and employing advanced NL technologies to discover new terms, concepts, relations and linguistic lexical information from text. In particular I will discuss term normalisation techniques, named entity recognit...

Many generative methods in arts and science are available. This paper presents a review of various generative methods oriented to the building of virtual objects useful in virtual reality applications. Grammars, automata, and evolutionary strategies are some classes of generative methods. The paper is dedicated both to Alan Turing and John von Neumann.

This paper describes a methodology the authors found very useful in the development of open systems for objectoriented languages, user-interface builders and hypermedia. We promote the idea of "open designs" as being a key factor for success and discuss software engineering techniques useful in implementing such designs.

Optimal controllers can enhance buildings’ energy efficiency by taking forecast and uncertainties into account (e.g., weather occupancy). This practice results in savings making better use of systems within the buildings. Even though benefits advanced optimal have been demonstrated several research studies some demonstration cases, adoption these techniques built environment remains somewhat li...
