Tom R. Bi-graphs at GVU talk

Tom Rodden  (professor Rodden to you ) was giving a good talk about formalisms about space at an impromptu volcano refugees talk at GVU ( Georgia Tech Atlanta )

Particularly Bi-graphs by Robin Milner. These are very formal mathematical models which there where using to reason about space.

He also mentioned Proxemics as a social model of space.

I do have a problem with this very simplistic notion of space which is it assumes we know what 'a' space is. For example is it doesn't take the physical aspects of space for example how would you model half hights dividers.


interesting.
