Virtual surgical simulators face many computational challenges: they need to provide biophysical accuracy, realistic feed-backs and high-rate responses. Better biophysical accuracy and more realistic feed-backs (be they ...

Fast changing urban systems pose huge challenges for planners and governments. One major challenge is to provide optimized facilities systems fulfilling all the basic citizen needs such as food, education, security, and ...

We propose an analysis framework to investigate different flow quantities such as vorticity, &#955<sub>2</sub> or the acceleration magnitude along vortex merge graphs and within their regions of influence. The ...

A CAD-oriented system is proposed for the design of complex-shaped functional cloth, provided with a physics-based modelling core for simulation and virtual prototyping tasks. Textiles are physically modelled as particle ...

Colormap design is challenging because the encoding must match the requirements of data and analysis tasks as well as the perception of the target user. A number of well-known tools exist to support the design of colormaps. ...

Surgical procedures require a high degree of complexity and difficulty. Consequently, extensive preparation in the learning process of medical students is necessary in order to perform suturing tasks successfully. Some ...

Due to the increasing threat from malicious software (malware), monitoring of vulnerable systems is becoming increasingly important. The need to log and analyze activity encompasses networks, individual computers, as well ...

This paper presents a study which evaluates the use of a tree visualisation (icicle tree) to encode the hierarchical structure of source code. The tree visualisation was combined with a source code editor in order to ...

Brownian Dynamics simulations are frequently used to describe and study the motion and aggregation of colloidal particles, in the field of soft matter and material science. In this paper, we focus on the problem of ...

Web-based applications of interactive 3D computer graphics are showing a tendency to get more interconnected and visually complex. Virtual communities like Second Life demand realism not only in terms of realistic rendering, ...
