{"product_id":"9781489992611","title":"Process Grammar: The Basis of Morphology","description":"\u003cp\u003eLeyton's Process Grammar has been applied by scientists and engineers in many disciplines including medical diagnosis, geology, computer-aided design, meteorology, biological anatomy, neuroscience, chemical engineering, etc. This book demonstrates the following:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Process Grammar invents several entirely new concepts in biological morphology and manufacturing design, and shows that these concepts are fundamentally important. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Process Grammar has process-inference rules that give, to morphological transitions, powerful new \u003ci\u003ecausal explanations\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRemarkably, the book gives a profound \u003ci\u003eunification\u003c\/i\u003e of \u003ci\u003ebiological morphology\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003evehicle design\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book invents over 30 new CAD operations that realize fundamentally important functions of a product. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA crucial fact is that the Process Grammar is an example of the laws in Leyton's Generative Theory of Shape which give the ability to recover the \u003ci\u003edesign intents \u003c\/i\u003efor which the shape features of a CAD model were created. The book demonstrates that the Process Grammar recovers important design intents in biological morphology and manufacturing design. In large-scale manufacturing systems, the recovery of design intents is important for solving the interoperability problem and product lifecycle management. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is one of a series of books in Springer that elaborates Leyton's Generative Theory of Shape. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47038418813168,"sku":"9781489992611","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781489992611_p0.jpg?v=1763655107","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781489992611","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
