The past decade has witnessed the increasing demands on data-driven business intelligence that led to the proliferation of data-intensive applications. A managed object-oriented programming language such as Java is often the developer's choice for implementing such applications, due to its quick development cycle and rich community resource.

Proceedings of the 2017 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2016
Digital keypads have proliferated on common appliances, from microwaves and refrigerators to printers and remote controls. For blind people, such interfaces are inaccessible. We conducted a formative study with 6 blind people which demonstrated a need for custom designs for tactile labels without dependence on sighted assistance.

Forms exemplifying the emergence of a new cultural attitude considered to reflect modern technological man are being generated in many disciplines. The efforts of disciplines embracing the new attitude provide opportunities to grasp the nature of this reorientation of man's position within his world, and further facilitate the adaptation of this ...

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Forensic Engineering, 2009
Building facades serve mainly to protect occupants and contents from the elements. Failure of the building envelope (i.e. walls, roof and windows) to function as intended usually has a significant impact on the serviceability of the building. Roofs and windows periodically fail and are replaced; however, the building facade is expected to endure the ...

Compressed Facade Displacement Maps
IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, 2009We describe an approach to render massive urban models. To prevent a memory transfer bottleneck we propose to render the models from a compressed representation directly. Our solution is based on rendering crude building outlines as polygons and generating details by ray-tracing displacement maps in the fragment shader. We demonstrate how to compress a

A comprehensive review of solar facades. Opaque solar facades
Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2012Abstract In antiquity, people already knew the principles of solar architecture, designing their houses to the south to take advantage of the sun in all seasons. Today, solar architecture is undergoing a true revolution because of the development, among other things, of special facades involved in the processes of heating, ventilation, thermal ...

Disney World: The Power of Facade/The Facade of Power
2020The domestication of fantasy in visual consumption is inseparable from centralized structures of economic power. Just as the earlier power of the state illuminated public space – the streets – by artificial lamplight, so the economic power of CBS, Sony, and the Disney Company illuminates private space at home by electronic images. While Walt Disney won
