The Need for Behavioral Theory in Evacuation Modeling

Author(s)
Erica D. Kuligowski, Steve M. Gwynne
This paper posits the need for comprehensive theories about human behavior in fire evacuations. These would be of value in and of themselves to improve training

Application Modes of Egress Simulation

Author(s)
Steve M. Gwynne, Erica D. Kuligowski
The evacuation process is influenced by historical events. These can reflect previous incidents, training, and the routine use of the structure. These need to

View subspaces for indexing and retrieval of 3D models

Author(s)
Helin Dutagaci, Afzal A. Godil, Bulent Sankur, Yucel Yemez
View-based indexing schemes for 3D object retrieval is gaining popularity since they provide good retrieval results. These schemes are coherent with the theory

The Semantics of Modules in Common Logic

Author(s)
Fabian M. Neuhaus
Common Logic (CL) is an ISO standard that specifies a family of knowledge representation languages. The function of modules within CL is to support local
