We analyse the axioms of Euclidean geometry according to standard object-oriented software development methodology. We find a perfect match: the main undefined concepts of the axioms translate to object classes. The result is a suite of C++…
The recent rise of cryo-EM and X-ray high-throughput techniques is providing a wealth of new structures trapped in different conformations. Understanding how proteins transition between different conformers, and how they relate to each…
The development of an IT strategy and ensuring that it is the best possible one for business is a key problem many organizations face. This problem is that of linking business architecture to IT architecture in general and application…

We develop and analyze a new algorithm to find the connected components of a compact set $I$ from a Lie group $G$ endowed with a left-invariant Riemannian distance. For a given $\delta>0$, the algorithm finds the largest cover of $I$ such…
We introduce a new category of higher-dimensional automata in which the morphisms are functional homotopy simulations, i.e. functional simulations up to concurrency of independent events. For this, we use unfoldings of higher-dimensional…
In numerous applications the mathematical model consists of different processes coupled across a lower dimensional manifold. Due to the multiscale coupling, finite element discretization of such models presents a challenge. Assuming that…
This paper presents a preliminary conceptual investigation into an environment representation that has constant space complexity with respect to the camera image space. This type of representation allows the planning algorithms of a mobile…
Relatedness is a quantification of how much two human activities are similar in terms of the inputs and contexts needed for their development. Under the idea that it is easier to move between related activities than towards unrelated ones,…
Parameterized complexity theory has lead to a wide range of algorithmic breakthroughs within the last decades, but the practicability of these methods for real-world problems is still not well understood. We investigate the practicability…
