CSG 96: Set-theoretic solid modelling — Techniques and Applications

Proceedings of the CSG 96 conference held in Winchester in April 1996. Twenty-two papers contribute to the advancement of a central solid modelling technology. The authors represent major research groups and well-known companies world-wide.
