Generally, phenomena of spontaneous pattern formation are random and repetitive,
whereas elaborate devices are the deterministic product of human design. Yet, biological …

We represent chord collections by simplicial complexes. A temporal organization of the
chords corresponds to a path in the complex. A set of n-note chords equivalent up to …

In this ground-breaking book, the first to provide an overview of the theory and practice of
experimental architecture, Rachel Armstrong explores how interdisciplinary, design-led …

Labeled graphs are particularly well adapted to represent objects in the context of topology-
based geometric modeling. Thus, graph transformation theory is used to implement …

In this paper, we consider Global Graph Transformations where all occurrences of a set of
predefined local rules are applied altogether synchronously so that each part of the original …

The development of spatial representations of musical objects allows for a reformulation of
algorithmic problems arising in musical theory, fosters novel classifications and provides …

The first part of our paper presents a composite programmable graph grammar model for the
self-adaptive two dimensional hp Finite Element Method algorithms (2D hp-FEM) with mixed …

The paper presents a system of Composite Graph Grammars (CGGs) modelling adaptive
two dimensional hp Finite Element Method (hp-FEM) algorithms with rectangular finite …

The paper presents the hypergraph grammar for modelling the hp-adaptive finite element
method algorithm with rectangular elements. The finite element mesh is represented by a …

In this thesis, we present a formalization of geometric modeling operations as rules from the
theory of graph transformation. First, we investigate the construction of a dedicated rule …
