Recommendations (4)

R329 Process & Organization Evaluation, Monitoring & Impact Priority: High

Continue the investigation both in general scope and in detail, using case studies to deepen and validate the broad exploratory findings of the thesis.

Scope:: Macro
Time Horizon:: Long
Evidence Strength:: Indicative
Feasibility:: Medium

R330 Methodological Artifact, System & Service Design Priority: High

Explore more deeply the potential of dynamic-geometry programs, especially regarding pencils of conics and the study of each conic type.

Scope:: Macro
Time Horizon:: Long
Evidence Strength:: Indicative
Feasibility:: High

R331 Methodological Theoretical & Conceptual Priority: High

Deepen, through graphical methodology, the exploration of the surfaces studied in the thesis and further investigate conics defined by five conditions and the intersection of conics.

Scope:: Macro
Time Horizon:: Long
Evidence Strength:: Exploratory
Feasibility:: Medium

R332 Artifact, System & Service Design Process & Organization Priority: Medium-High

Investigate whether the more generalized use of conic sections as auxiliary lines can simplify and accelerate computational-graphics procedures, extending their role from manual graphical reasoning into digital workflows.
