A tutorial on metamodelling for grammar researchers (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Paige, R. F., Kolovos, D. S., & Polack, F. A. A tutorial on metamodelling for grammar researchers

A metamodel has been defined as: a model of a model; a definition of a language; a description of abstract syntax; and a description of a domain. Because of these varied definitions, it is difficult to explain why metamodels are constructed, what can... Read More about A tutorial on metamodelling for grammar researchers.

Iso-level tool path planning for free-form surfaces (2014)
Journal Article
Zou, Q., Zhang, J., Deng, B., & Zhao, J. (2014). Iso-level tool path planning for free-form surfaces. Computer aided design, 53, 117-125. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cad.2014.04.006

The aim of tool path planning is to maximize the efficiency against some given precision criteria. In practice, scallop height should be kept constant to avoid unnecessary cutting, while the tool path should be smooth enough to maintain a high feed r...
