Representing and Reasoning About Three-Dimensional Space

摘要

This Special Issue will survey the range of approaches to representing and reasoning about three-dimensional (3-D) space. We seek practice-based contributions in spatial design domains such as architecture, urban planning, and mechanical design; theoretical contributions, for example, from cognitive modeling; and technical approaches to the representation of space from computer-aided design (CAD)/manufacturing, computer-aided architectural design, and computer-aided engineering. Our intent is to provide common ground across this variety of disciplines and focus the discussion on specific factors that support a wide variety of design and engineering problem domains, so that representations and approaches can be usefully compared.
