The graph layouts used for complex network studies have been mainly developed to improve visualization. If we interpret the layouts in metric spaces such as Euclidean ones, however, the embedded spatial information can be a valuable cue for various purposes. In this work, we focus on encoding useful navigational information to geometric coordinates of vertices of spatial graphs, which is a reve...

Singapore’s public housing policies are widely known for their success in providing over 80% of the residential population, with most owning homes. Extensive schemes generally offer a set fixed layouts; yet, at microscale an individual dwelling, alterations to units can be made by rearranging floor plans reflect usage patterns household, thus adding diversity configuration. The aim this paper i...

The performance of both serial and parallel implementations of matrix multiplication is highly sensitive to memory system behavior. False sharing and cache con icts cause traditional columnmajor or row-major array layouts to incur high variability in memory system performance as matrix size varies. This paper investigates the use of recursive array layouts to improve performance and reduce vari...

Data warehouses are large-scale databases that are usually managed by means of diagram-based conceptual models. However, the complexity of those models often imposes significant design challenges. In particular, this article studies their different underlying graph layouts. The working hypothesis is that graph layouts influence diagram readability, with the latter being significant for facilita...

Many traditional and new musical instruments make use of an isomorphic note layout across a uniform planar tessellation. Recently, a number of hexagonal isomorphic keyboards have become available commercially. Each such keyboard or interface uses a single specific layout for notes, with specific justifications as to why this or that layout is better. This paper is an exploration of all possible...
