Heterogeneous objects modelling and applications: invited papers on foundations and applications

Heterogeneous object modelling is a new and quickly developing research area.This book is one of the first attempts to systematically cover the most relevant themes and problems of this new and challenging subject area. It is a collection of invited papers and papers co-authored by the editors. Each chapter presents either new research results or a survey on the following topics: Formal models and abstractions of heterogeneous objects including geometric, topological, discrete and continuous models, operations forming special algebras andconversions between different model types. Data structures and algorithms forrepresenting, modifying and computing with heterogeneous objects. Computational techniques for the design, reconstruction, optimization, analysis and simulation of heterogeneous objects that incorporate information on shape, materialand physical behavior using a common framework.
