Jonathan Corney is a lecturer and Theodore Lim is a research assistant in the mechanical engineering department at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland. They are coauthors of 3D Modeling with ACIS Kernal and Toolkit.

"The ACIS 3D Geometric Modeler" is a collection of software components that provide programmers with commercially supported libraries of code for representing and manipulating shapes. Because of its open, object-oriented, design the system can be easily integrated with other software and forms the geometric core of many well-known CAD systems. It is also widely used in universities around the world for both teaching and research. The book is packed with information and examples that will help new and experienced users to produce applications which fully exploit the functionality available. In addition to providing code for numerous examples (in C++ or Scheme), it also provides background theory and information which helps users gain an appreciation of the system's internal workings.
