While an exact definition of texture is somewhat elusive, texture can be qualitatively described as a distribution of color, albedo or local normal on a surface. In the literature...
We propose a novel structure, the data-sharing graph, for characterizing sharing patterns in large-scale data distribution systems. We analyze this structure in two such systems a...
Many conceptual modeling and system design methodologies provide tools to help system designers to model the real world. No guidelines exist, however, for determining the relation...
Logic and object-orientation (OO) are competing ways of looking at the world. Both view the world in terms of individuals. But logic focuses on the relationships between individual...
Many techniques exist for analyzing information domains in preparation for systems design. No systematic technique exists, however, for analyzing a system or domain in terms of it...
