- - - - - - - 11th Annual Short Course on Solid Modeling University of Southern California Los Angeles, CA May 9-13, 1988 Principal Instructors: Prof. A. Requicha, Prof. H. Voelcker This is a course offered by the Programmable Automation Laboratory, Institute of Robotics and Intelligent Systems, of USC, in collaboration with the Cornell Programmable Automation group, Cornell Manufacturing Engineering and Productivity Program, of Cornell University. About half the course will be devoted to solid modeling fundamentals: tutorial seminars of pertinent topics from geometry, topology and mechanics; characterization of represenation schemes for nominal, perfect-form solids; fundamental algorithms based on set membership classification; and what is known about theories and algorithms for handling mechanical tolerancing and geometric constraints. About 40% of the course will address applications, with the remainder of the course concentrating on broad system issues, past and present architectures, and future research directions.
