  • Digital Fabrication in Architecture, Engineering and Construction

    by Luca Caneparo ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    Digital technologies are changing the relationship between design and construction: with computer models, CAD/CAM, and prototyping, designers can gain direct control of building and construction processes. The ability to digitally model designs, and thus to use those models directly in the context of production, creates a synthesis between design and construction in keeping with the tradition of ...

  • Simulating Social Complexity

    A Handbook

    Edited by Bruce Edmonds, Ruth Meyer ...
    Series series Computer Science (R0)
    This volume examines all aspects of using agent or individual-based simulation. This approach represents systems as individual elements having their own set of differing states and internal processes. The interactions between elements in the simulation represent interactions in the target systems. What makes this "social" is that it can represent an observed society.Social systems include all ...
