What conditions must be met, what has to be in place, for a work of art to be visible? In this volume, leading scholars working at the intersection of archaeology and the history of art compare modern ways of seeing with ancient, art-historical approaches.
This research targeted complex abstract concepts in Computer Science and focused on bringing about the visualisation of such concepts using virtual world technologies. The research proposed the use of virtual world elements to support the understanding and learning of six comput…
In the field of wireless network security there exist many scenarios that require the network administrator to carefully consider the best course of action, to be taken against an unauthorized user. In these cases it is important to have real time information, such as the locati…
Jeddah public health resources are struggling to meet the demand of the large populations. The city is suffering from insufficient public health resources along with other health problem, like high rates of some disease, which resulted in an amount of dissatisfaction among some …
The thesis addresses the problem of capturing and tracking multi-user interpretations of 3D spatial datasets. These interpretations are completed after the end of the visualization pipeline to identify and extract features of interest, and are subjective to human intuition and k…
My dissertation examines how literature prompts us to visualize complex, multisensory and multidimensional images that push the boundaries of our cognitive capacities. Rather than considering descriptive power in literature in terms of perceptual mimesis, I argue that the imagin…
Static friction, a force fundamental to nearly every mechanical system from micro-machines to basketball shoes to tectonic plates, is in fact anything but static. In contrast to the simplified version taught in high-school, static friction is actually extremely dynamic, complex,…
Data-driven simulations represent a promising approach to understanding and predicting complex dynamic processes in the presence of shifting demands of urban systems. Newly proposed continuous ensemble frameworks like DataStorm, execute the models in coupled continuous simulatio…
This dissertation examines the strategies used by early Americans to collect and display data on a variety of natural phenomena. I argue that these data displays allowed Americans to enter debates and dialogues about what kind of place the North American continent was and would …
As Carlos Ginsburg pointed out, “What is much harder to reject in principle (but also as much harder and more laborious to achieve) is an analytical reconstruction of the intricate web of minute relations that underlies the production of any work of art, however simple”, my proj…
This textbook, suitable for an early undergraduate up to a graduate course, provides an overview of many basic principles and techniques needed for modern data analysis. In particular, this book was designed and written as preparation for students planning to take rigorous Machi…
