DCC 2010 Conference and Shape Grammar Workshop

On Sunday 11th of July I have attended a workshop dedicated to Shape Grammar Implementation: From Theory to Useable Software. This workshop was part of the DCC 2010 conference.  I was given a possibility to present our Shape Grammar Interpreter that we have been working on past few moths and finally get some feedback directly from the shape grammar community. In general our software was very well accepted and we have also raised an interest in our current line of research where we use shape grammars in generating 3D virtual worlds. We plan on contacting Scott Chase as he in undergoing similar research. Later, we have agreed with Iestyn Jowers from University of Leeds to join efforts and create a full version of the Shape Grammar Interpreter that will be able to process rectilinear shapes as well as curves. For this purpose we plan on hiring some master student that would be willing to devote himself in this project. All along, this conference was a great success and hopefully we will reach the general shape grammar interpreter soon.
