Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Digital Design: A Critical Introduction
Book SynopsisDigital Design: A Critical Introduction provides a much-needed new perspective on designing with digital media. Linking ideas from media theory, generative design and creativity with examples from nature, art, architecture, industrial design, websites, animation and games, it addresses some fundamental questions about creative design with digital media. Featuring original material based on the authors' own research, the book argues that the recognition and understanding of the interplay of the two apparently opposing concepts of rules and contingency supports original thinking, creativity and innovation. Going beyond existing texts on the subject, Digital Design is an accessible primer whose innovative approach transcends the analysis of individual subfields - such as animation, games and website design - yet offers practical help within all of them.Trade ReviewEmphasising a maker's perspective on digital design - the nodes, networks, and the capacity for participation and evolution that digital media affords us - and maintaining a consistent conceptual position, this book makes the case for a generic approach to digital design. * Karen Cham, Kingston University, UK *As an artist myself I found the book very stimulating.

Springer London Ltd MATLAB® for Engineers Explained
Book SynopsisBased on the new 'guided-tour' concept that eliminates the start-up transient encountered in learning new programming languages, this beginner's introduction to MATLAB teaches a sufficient subset of the functionality and gives the reader practical experience on how to find more information. Recent developments in MATLAB to advance programming are described using realistic examples in order to prepare students for larger programming projects. In addition, a large number of exercises, tips, and solutions mean that the course can be followed with or without a computer. The development of MATLAB programming and its use in engineering courses makes this a valuable self-study guide for both engineering students and practicing engineers.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews: "The book consists of three parts: an initiation in matlab, more advanced programming in matlab, and some elaborated applications. … The text gives a bottom-up learning-by-example approach. … Thus the reader is forced to sit at the computer and do experiments, which is in my opinion the best and fastest way to learn matlab. The excellent help tool of matlab should do the rest. … The command summaries in the appendices make it … a substitute for the matlab manuals."

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Fundamental Algorithms for Computer Graphics: NATO Advanced Study Institute directed by J.E. Bresenham, R.A. Earnshaw, M.L.V. Pitteway
Book SynopsisAlgorithms provide the basic foundation for all computational processes. This volume presents algorithms at the foundational level and also at the various levels between this level and the user application. Some of these algorithms are classical and have become well established in the field. This material is therefore a rich source of information and is still relevant and up to date. The basic primitives of computer graphics have remained unchanged: lines, circles, conics, curves and characters. This volume contains reference material in all these areas. The higher levelsof contouring and surface drawing are also well covered. Developments in hardware architectures have continued since the first printing, but the basic principles of hardware/software trade-offs remain valid. This reprint is being published as a Study Edition to make the material more accessible to students and researchers in the field of computer graphics andits applications. The continuing popularity of the original book demonstrates the value and timeliness of its contents.Table of ContentsSection 1.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG CAM-Handbuch
Book SynopsisDieser Band ist das Ergebnis der mehrjährigen Tätigkeit eines von der Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI) angeregten Arbeitskreises. Das wirtschaftlich eminent wichtige und sich rapide entwickelnde Gebiet der rechnerunterstützten Systeme in der Fertigung zeigte einen großen Bedarf für ein solches Handbuch. Durch dieses Buch soll einerseits dem Experten ein Leitfaden und Nachschlagewerk in die Hand gegeben und andererseits das Management bei der Entscheidungsvorbereitung auf diesem Gebiet unterstützt werden. Es soll eine Hilfestellung sowohl bei der Beurteilung und Auswahl als auch bei der Entwicklung und Einführung solcher Systeme geben. Unter den vielen von Computer Aided Manufacturing beeinflußten Unternehmensbereichen ist besonders die Entwicklung aufzuführen, in der heute häufig schon mit CAD-Techniken gearbeitet wird. Der Bereich CAD wird eingehend in dem ebenfalls von der GI initiierten CAD-Handbuch behandelt und ist daher in dem vorliegenden CAM-Handbuch ausgespart. Das CAD- und das CAM-Handbuch sind somit als zwei sich ergänzende Werke zu betrachten. Der Leser, der sich intensiv mit CAM befaßt, sollte genügend Grundkenntnisse über CAD besitzen, um die Zusammenhänge zwischen diesen beiden Technologien zu verstehen.Table of Contents0 Einführung.- 0.1 Literatur zur Einführung.- 1 Das Unternehmen und sein Umfeld.- 1.1 Vorbemerkungen.- 1.2 Unternehmensziele.- 1.3 Einflüsse des Umfeldes auf die Unternehmensziele.- 1.4 Struktur eines Unternehmens der fertigenden Industrie.- 1.5 Informations-und Materialflüsse im Unternehmen.- 1.6 Unternehmensstrategie.- 1.7 Literatur zu Kapitel 1.- 2 Unternehmen und rechnerunterstützte Produktion.- 2.1 Vorbemerkungen.- 2.2 Begriffe der rechnerunterstützten Produktion.- 2.3 Problemfelder der rechnerunterstützten Produktion.- 2.4 Kosten der Rechnerunterstützung.- 2.5 Literatur zu Kapitel 2.- 3 Arbeitsplanung.- 3.1 Vorbemerkungen.- 3.2 Informationsfluß im Umfeld der Arbeitsplanung.- 3.3 Aufgaben der Arbeitsplanung.- 3.4 Informationsfluß innerhalb der Arbeitsplanung.- 3.5 DV-Unterstützung für die Arbeitsplanung.- 3.6 Wirtschaftlichkeit.- 3.7 Literatur zu Kapitel 3.- 4 NC-Werkzeugmaschinen, Industrieroboter, CNC-Koordinatenmeßgeräte.- 4.1 Vorbemerkungen.- 4.2 NC-Werkzeugmaschinen.- 4.3 Industrieroboter.- 4.4 CNC-Koordinatenmeßgeräte.- 4.5 Zusammenfassung.- 4.6 Literatur zu Kapitel 4.- 5 Fertigung.- 5.1 Vorbemerkungen.- 5.2 Beschreibung des Umfeldes.- 5.3 Informationsfluß in der Fertigung.- 5.4 Rechnerunterstützung bei der Informationsverarbeitung in der Fertigung.- 5.5 Maßnahmen zur Vorbereitung und zum Einsatz von rechnerunterstützten Systemen.- 5.6 Wirtschaftlichkeit von CAM-Systemen.- 5.7 Zusammenfassung.- 5.8 Literatur zu Kapitel 5.- 6 Qualitätssicherung.- 6.1 Vorbemerkungen.- 6.2 Ein idealisiertes Qualitätssicherungssystem.- 6.3 Objekte der Qualitätssicherung.- 6.4 Schnittstellen der rechnerunterstützten Qualitätssicherung.- 6.5 CAQ-Bausteine.- 6.6 Beitrag von CAQ zur Wirtschaftlichkeit von CAM.- 6.7 Literatur zu Kapitel 6.- 7 Integration.- 7.1 Vorbemerkungen.- 7.2 Technische Aspekte.- 7.3 Organisatorische Aspekte.- 7.4 Personelle Aspekte.- 7.5 Literatur zu Kapitel 7.- 8 Auswirkungen der Integration auf die Wirtschaftlichkeit von Investitionen in eine rechnergesteuerte Produktion.- 8.1 Vorbemerkungen.- 8.2 Wirtschaftlichkeitsrelevante Eigenschaften rechnerunterstützter Systeme in der Produktion.- 8.3 Wirkungsanalyse rechnerunterstützter Systeme in der Produktion.- 8.4 Probleme der Investitionsrechnung.- 8.5 Modifiziertes Verfahren der dynamischen Investitionsrechnung.- 8.6 Zusammenfassung.- 8.7 Literatur zu Kapitel 8.- Mitarbeiterliste.
