Point-based geometric models are gaining popularity in both the computer graphics and CAD fields. A related design/modelling problem is the focus of the reported research: drawing...
When creating applications that should be available on multiple computing platforms, designers have to cope with different design tools and user interface toolkits. Incompatibilit...
In this paper, we present a new model for concurrency control that supports cooperation of design tools and designers in a design environment. We capture characteristic access and...
Emerging "systems-on-a-chip" will require a design environment that allows distributed access to libraries, models and design tools. In this paper we present a framework...
The increasing complexity and geographical separation of design data, tools and teams has created a need for a collaborative and distributed design environment. In this paper we p...
The Database Tuning Advisor (DTA) that is part of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is an automated physical database design tool that significantly advances the state-of-the-art in sever...
With the advent of the Tablet PC and stylus-based PDAs, sketching-based user interfaces for design tools have become popular. However, a major challenge with such interfaces is th...
Prototyping is the pivotal activity that structures innovation, collaboration, and creativity in design. Prototypes embody design hypotheses and enable designers to test them. Fra...
VLSI engineers have traditionally used a variety of CAD analysis tools (e.g. SPICE) to deal with variability. As we go into deep sub micron issues, the analysis is becoming harder...
