  abstract     = {{<jats:p>We present a theoretical framework and practical method for the automatic construction of simple, all-quadrilateral patch layouts on manifold surfaces. The resulting layouts are coarse, surface-embedded cell complexes well adapted to the geometric structure, hence they are ideally suited as domains and base complexes for surface parameterization, spline fitting, or subdivision surfaces and can be used to generate quad meshes with a high-level patch structure that are advantageous in many application scenarios. Our approach is based on the careful construction of the layout graph's combinatorial dual. In contrast to the primal this dual perspective provides direct control over the globally interdependent structural constraints inherent to quad layouts. The dual layout is built from curvature-guided, crossing loops on the surface. A novel method to construct these efficiently in a geometry- and structure-aware manner constitutes the core of our approach.</jats:p>}},

  abstract     = {{<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>In mechanical engineering and architecture, structural elements with low material consumption and high load‐bearing capabilities are essential for light‐weight and even self‐supporting constructions. This paper deals with so called point‐folding elements – non‐planar, pyramidal panels, usually formed from thin metal sheets, which exploit the increased structural capabilities emerging from folds or creases. Given a triangulated free‐form surface, a corresponding point‐folding structure is a collection of pyramidal elements basing on the triangles. User‐specified or material‐induced geometric constraints often imply that each individual folding element has a different shape, leading to immense fabrication costs. We present a rationalization method for such structures which respects the prescribed aesthetic and production constraints and finds a minimal set of molds for the production process, leading to drastically reduced costs. For each base triangle we compute and parametrize the range of feasible folding elements that satisfy the given constraints within the allowed tolerances. Then we pose the rationalization task as a geometric intersection problem, which we solve so as to maximize the re‐use of mold dies. Major challenges arise from the high precision requirements and the non‐trivial parametrization of the search space. We evaluate our method on a number of practical examples where we achieve rationalization gains of more than 90%.</jats:p>}},

  abstract     = {{In dieser Arbeit stellen wir ein flexibles System zur Entwicklung und Evaluation von 3-D-Renderingalgorithmen vor, das die Visualisierung komplexer virtueller Szenen auf einem breiten Spektrum an Geräten erlaubt. Die Aufbereitung und Echtzeitdarstellung solcher virtueller Szenen, wie sie beispielsweise aus detaillierten CAD-Daten erzeugt werden, stellt in vielerlei Hinsicht eine algorithmische und technische Herausforderung dar. Die 3-D-Szenendaten können nach dem Dateiimport aus einem Austauschformat in eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Datenstrukturen überführt werden. Es muss ein geeignetes Renderingverfahren ausgewählt und eingestellt werden, welches sowohl die Eigenschaften der Szene (Zahl der Polygone, Grad der Verdeckung etc.) als auch die Fähigkeiten der Hardware berücksichtigt. Auf der einen Seite stellt die Darstellung auf mobilen Endgeräten wie Smartphones besonders hohe Anforderungen aufgrund der Speicherbeschränkung und der geringen Leistungsfähigkeit der Grafikhardware. Auf der anderen Seite stehen bei Großprojektionssystemen, wie beispielsweise dem HD-Visualisierungscenter des Heinz Nixdorf Instituts, die hohe Bildqualität bei stereoskopischer Darstellung und die Unterstützung von Trackingsystemen im Vordergrund.

Der Fokus des von uns entwickelten Systems PADrend liegt in der Bereitstellung einer flexiblen und leicht erweiterbaren Grundlage für die Entwicklung und Evaluation von 3-D-Renderingalgorithmen und räumlichen Datenstrukturen im Bereich der Forschung und der universitären Ausbildung. Durch den modularen Aufbau und die große Bandbreite an unterstützten Systemen wird gewährleistet, dass eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Entwicklungen und Anwendungen auf PADrend aufsetzen können. In diesem Artikel geben wir einen Überblick über den Aufbau und die Fähigkeiten des Systems. Des Weiteren geben wir ein Beispiel für ein Anwendungsszenario, in dem PADrend eingesetzt wird: die Visualisierung von architektonischen Modellen auf einem Multiprojektionssystem.}},

  abstract     = {{The challenging scientific field of self-reconfiguring modular robotics (i.e., decentrally controlled 'super-robots' based on autonomous, interacting robot modules with variable morphologies) calls for novel paradigms of designing robot controllers. One option is the approach of evolutionary robotics. In this approach, the challenge is to achieve high evaluation numbers with the available resources which may even affect the feasibility of this approach. Simulations are usually applied at least in a preliminary stage of research to support controller design. However, even simulations are computationally expensive which gets even more burdensome once comprehensive studies and comparisons between different controller designs and approaches have to be done. Hence, a benchmark with low computational cost is needed that still contains the typical challenges of decentral control, is comparable, and easily manageable. We propose such a benchmark and report an empirical study of its characteristics including the transition from the single-robot setting to the multi-robot setting, typical local optima, and properties of adaptive walks through the fitness landscape.}},

They are rather descriptive labels or tests. In order to get towards recipes of generating emergence we need to know systemic characteristics that help during the design phase of artificial life systems and worlds. In this paper, we develop and discuss five hypotheses that are not meant to be irrevocable but rather thought-provoking. We introduce two modeling approaches for Langton's ant to clarify these hypotheses. Then we discuss general properties of systems, such as (ir-)reversibility, dependence on initial states, computation, discreetness, and undecidable properties of system states.}},
