A commutative replicated data type (CRDT) is one where all concurrent operations
commute. The replicas of a CRDT converge automatically, without complex concurrency …

This paper introduces volume springs that provide the volume effect to a surface model
when it is deformed. The estimation of the properties of the model takes the real material …

Accurate and fast haptic simulations of deformable objects are desired in many applications
such as medical virtual reality. In the haptic interactions with a coarse model, the number of …

Environmental scanning and interpretation (ES&I) provides crucial information on which
strategic decision making is based. The paper introduces a model that discusses five …

Virtual surgery simulators are emerging as a training method for medical specialists and are
expected to provide a virtual environment that is realistic and responsive enough to be able …

We show how UML2. 0 together with PEPA nets can be used to model dynamic aspects of
mobile applications. UML2. 0 provides a new form of high-level description of interactions …

A fast and efficient deformation model is essential for realistic simulation of image morphing.
In order to create models that are fast to simulation, we use a mass-spring system, which is …

Medical images have been used increasingly for diagnosis, treatment planning, monitoring
disease processes, and other medical applications. A large variety of medical imaging …

In this paper we propose a new method for real-time modeling of soft objects, of which high
resolutions dynamically adapt to the regions of high deformation. In order to reduce the …

This paper discusses the possibility of employing a surface model to emulate volume
behaviour. This is inspired by a significant interest in employing the surface data due to its …
