Abstract: A method for generating architectural design requirements for a building structure is disclosed. A schematic drawing file of the building structure is loaded. The building type for the building structure is designated. A topology mask identifying the functional zones demarcated by the schematic drawing is created over the schematic drawing. Architectural design standards that are specific to the building type designated are applied to each of the identified functional zones to generate the architectural design requirements for the building structure. The architectural design standards being stored in a relational database.

Abstract: A method for recognizing handwritten Arabic character strings is disclosed. The handwritten Arabic character string is extracted. The handwritten Arabic character string is converted into a representative character string graph. Common embedded isomorphic graphs of the representative character string graph are extracted. A character string match is identified from each of the respective common embedded isomorphic graphs extracted using a data structure associated with each of the respective common embedded isomorphic graphs and a set of geometric measurements unique to the handwritten Arabic character string.

Abstract: A method for recognizing a character string on a static document is disclosed. The character string is extracted from the static document. The character string is converted into a representative character string graph. The common embedded isomorphic graphs are extracted from the representative character string graph. Each of the common embedded isomorphic graphs extracted are converted into digital ink files. The character string associated with each of the digital ink files are identified using a dynamic recognition system.
