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 \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-11-04\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461418146\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4614-1815-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 546\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49940139081868,"sku":"9781461418146","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461418146.jpg?v=1779053565","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781461418146","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
