Autodesk Inventor was introduced in 1999 as an ambitious 3D parametric modeler based not on the familiar AutoCAD programming architecture but instead on a separate foundation that would provide the room needed to grow into the fully featured modeler it is now, a decade later. Inventor 2011 continues the development of Inventor with...

Maximizing the performance of Unix systems is a challenge that requires a specialized understanding of operating system behavior, knowledge of the design and tuning capabilities of the applications that run on the system, and an intimate acquaintance with system and application performance measuring tools that assist in...

Computer graphics systems are capable of generating stunningly realistic images of objects that have never physically existed. In order for computers to create these accurately detailed images, digital models of appearance must include robust data to give viewers a credible visual impression of the depicted materials. In particular, digital...

Numerical analysis is the branch of mathematics that is used to find approximations to difficult problems such as finding the roots of non-linear equations, integration involving complex expressions and solving differential equations for which analytical solutions do not exist. It is applied to a wide variety of disciplines such as...

The area of aggregation operations is one of the most promising off-springs of fuzzy sets theory. Before Zadeh introduced fuzzy set connectives in 1965, there was a wide gap between logic and decision sciences. On the one hand, multiplevalued logics proposed many-valued extensions of the conjunctions and disjunctions for which the...
