MAXON understands that making a transition into 3D graphics and animation can be a daunting
proposition for artists already pressed for time keeping up with the ever evolving progression of more
traditional graphics technology. With that in mind, they have crafted CINEMA 4D, a software that is
intuitive yet amazingly powerful. Using...
Current search paradigms for the Web, direct access through search engines and
navigational access via static taxonomies, have recently been strongly criticized.
A third paradigm, dynamic taxonomies or faceted search, is gaining acceptance to
the extent that it is now the de facto standard in product selection for e-commerce.
This new...
Written by four experienced Nokia Telecommunications software developers, this practical book focuses on object-based and component-based software development. The authors concentrate on the most important issues in real-life software development, such as the development process itself, software architecture, the development of user...
ORACLE 11G: SQL is not simply a study guide; it is written for individuals who have just a basic knowledge of databases and can be utilized in a course on this latest implementation of SQL from Oracle.
The past few decades have seen a proliferation of organizations that rely heavily on information
technology. These organizations...
The 10th International Conference on Intelligent Tutoring Systems, ITS 2010, continued
the bi-annual series of top-flight international conferences on the use of advanced
educational technologies that are adaptive to users or groups of users. These highly
interdisciplinary conferences bring together researchers in the learning sciences,...
With the increasing popularization of the Internet, together with the rapid
development of 3D scanning technologies and modeling tools, 3D model
databases have become more and more common in fields such as biology,
chemistry, archaeology and geography. People can distribute their own 3D works
over the Internet, search and download 3D...
MATLAB is a powerful language for technical computing. The name MATLAB
stands for MATrix LABoratory, because its basic data element is a matrix (array).
MATLAB can be used for math computations, modeling and simulations, data
analysis and processing, visualization and graphics, and algorithm development.
This book represents my 30 years continuing education courses for graduate and
master degree students at the Electronics and Telecommunications Faculty from
the Technical University of Cluj Napoca, Romania and partially my research activity
too. The presented topics are useful for engineers, M.Sc. and PhD students
who need basics in...
This volume was primarily intended to present selected papers from the workshop on Theory and Applications of Nested Relations and Complex Objects, held in Darmstadt, FRG, from April 6-8, 1987. Other papers were solicited in order to provide a picture of the field as general as possible. Research on nested relations and complex objects...
The book you’re holding in your hands is going to show you how to build your very own 3D Printer. It’s
not science fiction. It’s a device that will allow you to print out (in plastic) whatever you can imagine.
(Okay, that’s a bit of a stretch – there are size limitations when using this machine.)
Read the...
The 11th Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming took place on the
University of Oklahoma campus in Norman, Oklahoma, May 17-19, 2010. The
program included presentations of 26 papers submitted by researchers from six
nations and an invited talk by J. Strother Moore on machine reasoning so well
received that the question/answer...
The decade of the 80's saw the dramatic expansion of high performance
computer graphics into domains previously able only to
irt with the technology. Among the most dramatic has been the incorporation of real-time
interactive manipulation and display for human gures. Though actively pur-
sued by several research groups, the...
