Cohen, Elaine | Error bounded variable distance offset operator for free from curves and surfaces | Most offset approximation algorithms for freeform curves and surfaces may be classified into two main groups. The first approximates the curve using simple primitives such as piecewise arcs and lines and then calculates the (exact) offset operator to this approximation. The second offsets the contro... | Error bounded; Freeform curves | 1991 |

Lindstrom, Gary E. | ETYMA: a framework for modular systems | Modularity, i.e. support for the flexible construction, adaptation, and combination of units of software, is an important goal in many systems. In most cases, however, systems achieve only a few aspects of modularity. The problem can be traced to the inflexibility, or the limited view of modularity ... | ETYMA; Modularity; Modular systems | 1994 |

Henderson, Thomas C. | Evolutionary teleomorphology | The physical layout of organs and neural structures in biological systems is important to their functioning, and is the result of evolutionary selection forces. We believe this is true even at the individual neuron level, and should be accounted for in any bio-based approach. In particular, when tr... | Evolutionary teleomorphology; Bio-based approach; Physical layout problem; PLP; Neurons; Nodes | 1995 |
