Systems and methods for remotely viewing page layouts

Abstract: A system and methods for remotely viewing a dynamically generated page layout is described. The page layout can represent a reader ordering of pages defined as part of a print production job. Alternatively, the page layout can represent an arrangement of pages based on information defined as part of a print production job.

An Extension of the Web-Page Layout Optimization Method for Multimodal Browsing Sizes

Abstract: Recently, Web-page browsings at various terminals have become popular due to deployments of small mobile devices and large flat displays. To deal with this recent trend, we have proposed a Web-page layout optimization method for multimodal browsing sizes. It dynamically changes box locations and font sizes by switching CSS files for different browsing sizes, so that the main content can be accessed without the screen scroll operation even at a small size whereas the blank space is avoided at a large size. However, in this method, any box location must be specified by the absolute value in HTML/CSS files, which is not easy under a variety of browsing sizes. In this paper, we propose the extension of this method for flexible Web-page designs using the normal flow, the liquid layout, and the float property, where the browser automatically arranges the boxes. Using Ajax, the box location and the font size is switched to fit to the current browsing size by our method. The effectiveness of our proposal is verified through a usability test using sample Web-pages at small sizes.

Big data-based visualization realization method

Abstract: The invention provides a big data-based visualization realization method and relates to the technical field of WEB development. According to the method, page making and data binding are realized in a definition period, wherein the page making is finished by mainly adopting a dragging interactive mode, and the whole process mainly comprises page layout, chart selection and configuration of components such as a query box and the like; and for the data binding, data and chart binding is mainly finished. For a running period, secondary query and shared viewing of charts are mainly finished. The method powerfully supports managers to make business decisions, and core competitiveness is improved.

An Improved Differential Evolution with Local Search for Constrained Layout Optimization of Satellite Module

Abstract: This paper proposes an improved differential evolution algorithm (called by DEG hereinafter) to tackle a kind of combinatorial optimization problem, i.e., constrained component layout optimization of satellite module. DEG combined local search with standard DE by employing the Gauss mutation operator from genetic algorithm, aiming to make random micro-perturbations to the location of components for obtaining a better layout scheme. The experimental results showed that the proposed DEG outperformed the standard DE and Genetic algorithm on layout design of simplified satellite module.

Layout design problems: systematic approaches

Abstract: The complexity of the layout design problems known as the 'spatial allocation problems' gave rise to several approaches, which can be generally classified into two main streams. The first attempts to use the computer to generate solutions of the building layout, while in the second, computers are used only to evaluate manually generated solutions. In both classes the generation or evaluation of the layout are performed systematically. Computer algorithms for 'spatial allocation problems' first appeared more than twenty-five years ago (Koopmans, 1957). From 1957 to 1970 over thirty different programs were developed for generating the floor plan layout automatically, as is summarized in CAP-Computer Architecture Program, Vol. 2 (Stewart et al., 1970). It seems that any architect who entered the area of CAAD felt that it was his responsibility to find a solution to this prime architectural problem. Most of the programs were developed for batch processing, and were run on a mainframe without any sophisticated input/output devices. It is interesting to mention that, because of the lack of these sophisticated input/output devices, early researchers used the approach of automatic generation of optimal or quasioptimal layout solution under given constraints. Gradually, we find a recession and slowdown in the development of computer programs for generation of layout solutions. With the improvement of interactive input/output devices and user interfaces, the inclination today is to develop integrated systems in which the architectural solution is obtained manually by the architect and is introduced to the computer for the appraisal of the designer's layout solution (Maver, 1977). The manmachine integrative systems could work well, but it seems that in most of the integrated systems today, and in the commercial ones in particular, there is no route to any appraisal technique of the layout problem. Without any evaluation techniques in commercial integrated systems it seems that the geometrical database exists Just to create working drawings and sometimes also perspectives.
