ADVANCED DESIGN RESEARCH
Master of Architecture Post-Professional Program
Master of Science in Architectural Studies Program

Professor Marcos Novak, Director
novak@vitruvius.ar.utexas.edu

====================================
====================================

SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE 
THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN

====================================
====================================


This program is for students who are interested in exploring the ways in 
which advances in science, technology, theory and criticism are 
extending the range of the possible in the conception, production, 
execution and inhabitation of architecture. Emphasis is on pure rather 
than applied research, but this is advanced primarily through empirical 
and production-oriented methods, that is, through the experimentation 
with, the simulation, production, and testing of works such as drawings, 
models, prototypes, environments, performances, computer programs, 
etc.,  as well as their documentation. The aim of the program in 
Advanced Design Research is to anticipate and encourage developments 
in architectural theory and practice, to advance the body of 
architectural knowledge, and to produce researchers, artists, and 
practitioners capable of facing the challenges of an information era.

Topics of study that students may pursue include: 

	Computation and Composition; 
	Music and Architecture; 
	Shape Grammars and Other Formal Systems; 
	Algorithmic Aesthetics; 
	Art, Architecture and Technology; 
	The Architecture of Cyberspace and Virtual Worlds; 
	Embodied Virtuality; 
	Intelligent Agents and Systems; 
	Multi-Media(ted) Spaces; 
	Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems in Design; 
	Architecture and Artificial Life (Generative Methods);
	Architecture and Complexity; 
	Advances in Architectural Visualization; 
	Implications of Advances in Science and Technology; 
	The Poetics of New Technologies.

====================================
Prerequisites:

Applicants are expected to have either a strong background in the arts 
and documented interest and ability in the sciences, or a strong 
background in the sciences and documented interest and ability in the

Dear Who it may concern...

	Is there any trials or researches in simulation area using Fuzzy
	concept? If it is, how can we use fuzzy concept in every step
	of simulation? (data collection, validation of input data,
	experimentation, validation of output data, etc.)

	I want to know some trials on simulation using FUZZY conception.
	Only what I've read about simulation using FUZZY is the fields FUZZY
	LOGIC in implementing Knowledge Based Simulation.
	What other steps in simulation can we use Fuzzy conception?
	(i.e using FUZZY in data collection step,verification step...)
	Is there any paper concering that?

	Please let me know all various trials using Fuzzy in simulation area.
	I'll appreciate any kind of help.

Thanks in advance...

Subject: generating vectors of truncated multivariated normal


Could anyone out there give me some reference on how to generate random
vectors with distribution of multivariate normal truncated on hyperplane
in R^n ? I am interested in methods other than rejection technique.

Thanks.

Hi Everybody,

I am looking for references to "real world" applications for real-time systems 
with hard deadlines. 

Basically I need the description of workloads, and any reference to
papers that describe control applications and give some notion about how
they partitioned their programs will help.

Areas using hard real time systems include robotics, aviation, engine control, 
nuclear reactor control, chemical mixing units, satellite control,...... 

I posted this request a while back, but got only 1 response with a reference 
and lots of responses with:
              "I am interested in the responses you get"

I will appreciate any responses and will be happy to share them. Just
send a note.

Thanks 
	Axel

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The only real things I got so far are:
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A paper by P.Shaffer (IEEE Control Systems June 1990)
"A Multiprocessor Implementation of Real-Time Control for a Turbojet Engine",
gives the computation graph for the control program of a supersonic turbofan
with afterburner is given. This is a 64 vertex graph, and for each the 64 
procedures the max duration is indicated.
