While large displays, such as tabletops and walls, are being developed to technically support collaborative work, the design of interfaces that support face-to-face collaboration is still a challenge [Scott et al. 2003]. We present Interface Currents-flexible containers which provide controllable, automated movement of interface items-in order to support the creative flow during collaborative tasks and to enable intuitive organizing and sharing of digital information around large horizontal displays.

One of the main features of Event driven Process Chains (EPCs) is the non-local semantics of the OR-join and the XOR-join connectors. Simulating this non-local semantics faithfully and efficiently is still a challenging problem. A year ago, we have shown that the semantics of moderately sized EPCs can be calculated in reasonable time by using techniques from symbolic model checking. For larger EPCs, however, this method still takes too long for practical use. In this paper, we introduce and discuss a new technique for calculating the semantics of EPCs: We combine an explicitly forward construction of the transition system with a backward marking algorithm for checking the non-local constraints. Though this method does not always provide a result, it works for most practical examples and, in most cases, it is much faster than the symbolic algorithm. Basically, the computation time is linear in the size of the resulting transition system. The algorithm works for large EPCs as long as the resulting transition systems are small (where transition systems with millions of states and transitions are still considered to be small), which is true for many practical EPCs.

The tutorial presents state-of-the-art visualization techniques inspired by traditional technical and medical illustrations. Such techniques exploit the perception of the human visual system and provide effective visual abstractions to make the visualization clearly understandable. Visual emphasis and abstraction has been used for expressive presentation from prehistoric paintings to nowadays scientific and medical illustrations. Many of the expressive techniques used in art are adopted in computergraphics, and are denoted as illustrative or non-photorealistic rendering. Different stroke techniques, or brush properties express a particular level of abstraction. Feature emphasis or feature suppression is achieved by combining different abstraction levels in illustrative rendering. Challenges in visualization research are very large data visualization as well as multi-dimensional data visualization. To effectively convey the most important visual information there is a significant need for visual abstraction. For less relevant information the dedicated image space is reduced to enhance more prominent features. The discussed techniques in the context of scientific visualization are based on iso-surfaces and volume rendering. Apart from visual abstraction, i.e., illustrative representation, the visibility of prominent features can be achieved by illustrative visualization techniques such as cut-away views or ghosted views. The structures that occlude the most prominent information are suppressed in order to clearly see more interesting parts. A different smart way to provide information on the data is using exploded views or other types of deformation. Furthermore intuitive feature classification via 3D painting and manipulation with the classified data including label placement is presented. Discussed non-photorealistic and illustrative techniques from visualization and graphics are shown from the perspective as tools for illustrators from medicine, botany, archeology

In this paper, we propose a feature-preserving mesh denoising algorithm which is effective, simple and easy to implement. The proposed method is a two-stage procedure with a bilateral surface normal filtering followed by integration of the normals for least squares error (LSE) vertex position updates. It is well-known that normal variations offer more intuitive geometric meaning than vertex position variations. A smooth surface can be described as one having smoothly varying normals whereas features such as edges and corners appear as discontinuities in the normals. Thus we cast feature-preserving mesh denoising as a robust surface normal estimation using bilateral filtering. Our definition of "intensity difference" used in the influence weighting function of the bilateral filter robustly prevents features such as sharp edges and corners from being washed out. We will demonstrate this capability by comparing the results from smoothing CAD-like models with other smoothing algorithms.

We prove two small results on the reconstruction of binary matrices from their absorbed projections: (1) If the absorption constant is the positive root of x2 + x - 1 = 0, then every row is uniquely determined by its left and right projections. (2) If the absorption constant is the root of x 4 - x3 - x2 - x + 1 - 0 with 0
