Intelligent Scene Modelling Information Systems: The Case of Declarative Design Support -- Declarative Modeling in Computer Graphics -- Understanding Scenes -- Intelligent Personalization in a Scene Modeling Environment -- Web-Based Collaborative System for Scene Modelling -- Aesthetic – Aided Intelligent 3D Scene Synthesis -- Network Security Surveillance Aid Using Intelligent Visualization for Knowledge Extraction and Decision Making.

This book is dedicated to intelligent scene modeling information systems, that is information systems using Artificial Intelligence techniques to design scenes. Declarative scene modeling techniques are presented, as well as their implementation in an intelligent information system. In order to improve efficiency of declarative modeling based scene modeling information systems, various techniques are proposed in the book: coupling of a declarative modeler with a classical geometric modeler. Use of machine-learning Artificial Intelligent techniques, allowing the system to learn the user preferences; introduction of high level concepts, especially the concept of "style" in architectural design; introduction of collaborative declarative modeling techniques.
