101 Intersurface continuity of B-spline based solid modelsOne of the issues of concern in any boundary representation model is the smoothness at the abutment edges of the model surface patches. This thesis looks at the maintenance of this smoothness (continuity) between connected B-spline surfaces in a multi-surface model. This process also necessitates ad...computer graphics; computer aided design1988-08

105 Look ahead in Parallel Discrete Event SimulationEmpirical performance evaluations of parallel, discrete event simulation algorithms using deadlock avoidance and deadlock detection and recovery techniques developed by Chandy and Misra have been performed using the BBN Butterfly multiprocessor. Experiments using synthetic workloads reveal that the ...1988-08
106 The Many Faces of IntrospectionIn psychology, introspection is a common term meaning an examination of one's own thought process and sensory experience. Similarly, introspection in computer systems enables a computer to examine its own computational behavior. A computer that ""understands"" its own behavior, an introspective comp...1992-04
107 Matte volumes for selective data visualizationThe matte volumes system uses a volume renderer, surface renderer, and slice viewer for the exploration and visualization of three-dimensional scalar field data. The size and complexity of the volume data pose an interesting challenge to the ideal of providing the scientist with a system which autom...matte volumes; three-dimensional scalar field data; computers; matte volumes system1995-08
108 Modeling the Motion of Human Muscle Systems with Computer GraphicsThe Sarcomere system uses computer graphics to model human muscle systems. Each muscle is modeled as a collection of discrete, movable elements that we call muxels. The advantages of this model include fast integer-based processing and user specified variable resolution. The Sarcomere system process...sarcomere; muxel; muscle system1990-08
109 Modelling complex objects with generalized sweepsRecently, constructive solid geometry (CSG) techniques have been generalized to include set operations on certain sculptured surface solid models.
