A Procedural is a cross genre type of literature , film , or television program involving a sequence of technical detail. A documentary film may be written in a procedural style to heighten narrative interest. Types Television Fiction In television, procedural specifically refers to a genre of programs in which a problem is introduced, investigated and solved all within the same episode . These shows tend to be hour long Dramatic programming dramas , and are often though not always police or crime related. The general formula for a police procedural involves the commission or discovery of a crime at the beginning of the episode, the ensuing investigation, and the arrest or conviction of a perpetrator at the end of the episode. The best known examples of this genre are the Law & Order franchise Law & Order and CSI Crime Scene Investigation CSI franchises. House TV series House is an example of a non crime related procedural.

Multiple issues unreferenced December 2009 orphan December 2009 In computer graphics , a procedural surface is a representation of a surface as a mathematical implicit equation , rather than an explicit representation. An explicit representation, for example, describes a line as the straight segment going through two given points. A procedural surface is one which is defined as a procedure. For example, in CAD Computer aided manufacturing Milling machine milling applications, an offset surface is a procedural representation because it is defined as the surface which is a fixed distance from another surface. Another well known procedural edge on a 3D body is the silhouette edge . This edge is defined as the collection of points on a surface whose outwards surface normal is perpendicular to the view vector . Another example of a procedural surface is a Metaballs Blob as illustrated in movies like The Abyss in the scene where the creature made up of water reaches out and touches the character. The surface is defined as a surface which exists when two or more Control point mathematics control point s are oriented in such a way as to make the contribution potential exceed a certain threshold. Such procedural surfaces require far more processing to calculate, and for this reason are often used in pre rendered rather than real time applications. This approach is commonly used by structural chemist s and was defined by Johannes Diderik van der Waals van der Waals when defining a region of space where the electric charge equipotential surface had a definite value.

Procedural modeling is an umbrella term for a number of techniques in computer graphics to create 3D models and texture mapping textures from sets of rules. L System s, fractal s, and Generative Modelling Language generative modeling are procedural modeling techniques since they apply algorithm s for producing scenes. The set of rules may either be embedded into the algorithm, configurable by parameters, or the set of rules is separate from the evaluation engine. The output is called procedural content, which can be used in computer games, films, be uploaded to the internet, or the user may edit the content manually. Procedural models often exhibit database amplification, meaning that large scenes can be generated from a much smaller amount of rules. If the employed algorithm produces the same output every time, the output need not be stored. Often, it suffices to start the algorithm with the same random seed to achieve this. Although all modeling techniques on a computer require algorithms to manage and store data at some point, procedural modeling focuses on creating a model from a rule set, rather than editing the model via user input. Procedural modeling is often applied when it would be too cumbersome to create a 3D model using generic 3D modeler s, or when more specialized tools are required. This is often the case for plants, architecture or landscapes.

This type of democracy is characterized by voters choosing to elect representatives in free elections. Procedural democracy assumes that the electoral process is at the core of the authority placed in elected officials and ensures that all procedures of elections are duly complied with or at least appear so . It could be described as a republic i.e., people voting for representatives wherein only the basic structures and institutions are in place. Commonly, the previously elected representatives use electoral procedures to maintain themselves in power against the common wish of the people to some varying extent , thus thwarting the establishment of a full fledged democracy. Procedural democracy is quite different from substantive democracy , which is manifested by equal participation of all groups in society in the political process.

In artificial intelligence , a procedural reasoning system PRS is a framework for constructing real time reasoning systems that can perform complex tasks in dynamic environments. It is based on the notion of a rational agent or intelligent agent using the belief desire intention software model . A user application is predominately defined, and provided to a PRS system is a set of knowledge areas . Each knowledge area is a piece of procedural knowledge that specifies how to do something, e.g., how to navigate down a corridor, or how to plan a path in contrast with robotic architectures where the computer programmer programmer just provides a model of what the states of the world are and how the agent s primitive actions affect them . Such a program, together with a PRS interpreter computing interpreter , is used to control the agent.
