From: "C. Connolly" <GEOMETER@cs.umass.EDU> 
Subject: Geometer 

 
The GE R&D center and (more recently) the vision group at UMass have 
been developing and using a solid modeler with some algebraic 
manipulation capabilities for various vision & automated reasoning 
experiments.  The system is called "Geometer", and some of its salient 
features are: 

  - Written in Common Lisp (runs on Symbolics, TI, Lucid, DEC) 
  - Reliable at planar modeling 
  - Capable of curved surface modeling 
  - contains machinery for polynomial & transcendental function 
    arithmetic, algebraic numbers, Grobner basis computation. 
  - contains machinery for various projections & transformations 

It is available via anonymous FTP from COINS.CS.UMASS.EDU, although some 
people have reported trouble with the connection.  The files are in the 
directories: 

      VIS$DISK:[GEOMETER]*.LISP 
      VIS$DISK:[GEOMETER.DOC]*.TEX 

If you do get a copy this way, please send a message to 
GEOMETER@COINS.CS.UMASS.EDU, just for verification purposes.  More 
information will probably be available at the next DARPA IU workshop.
