All line maps:

These were an invention of Stefan Czapski when he was a research fellow
working on the SERC project 1985-87 Space Syntax as an interactive design
tool, SERC/ collaborative with GMW Computers Ltd, Bill was PI and I was a
research fellow. They were implemented as a part of the RUCAPS CAD system,
along with a fewest axial line algorithm and a discrete convex space finding
algorithm, where of course we found that whilst these were findable for
places like Apt and Gassin Barcelona gave a real problem. This led to the
idea that all line maps and overlapping convex spaces were probably the more
fundamental objects, and certainly easier to define. I also coded both for
the Apple Mac in an application called Syntactica, and this was used in
early design work with Norman Foster on Kings Cross in 1987. This was the
forerunner for Sheep's wonderful Spacebox implementation (as a part of
1988-90  Second Generation Space Syntax funded by:  SERC GR/78494 & t2
Solutions Ltd,  Cooperative award with t2 Solutions Ltd.) They would be
described in the final report to the SERC on these projects, but I have no
idea where they are now. The following publications refer to them though:

Bill Hillier and Alan Penn, Dense Civilisations: the Shape of Cities in the
21st Century, Applied Energy 43(1992) 41-66

Alan Penn, Ruth Conroy, Nick Dalton, Laura Dekker, Chrion Mottram and
Alastair Turner, INTELLIGENT ARCHITECTURE new tools for the three
dimensional analysis of space and built form, PROCEEDINGS of the 1ST
INTERNATIONAL SPACE SYNTAX SYMPOSIUM, UCL, LONDON, APRIL 1997

Describe the all line map and the overlapping convex space, on the way to
other things.

Page 131 of Space is the Machine also describes these. 

Empirical use of the all line map in analysis of movement is given in:
 
Penn, A., Desyllas, J. & Vaughan, L.,The Space of Innovation: Interaction
and Communication in the Work Environment, Environment and Planning B:
Planning and Design, (1999), Vol. 26, 193-218, Pion, London.


Interface maps are described and I think ? get their first definition in The
Social Logic of Space, p104 Fig 41 

I guess the Kruger paper you are thinking of is: E&P B 1979 p67-88 An
Approach to Built Form Connectivity at an Urban Scale.
