Spectro-temporal reflectance surfaces: a new conceptual framework for the integration of remote-sensing data from multiple different sensors
2012
The conflict between spatial and temporal resolution of satellite systems, as well as the frequent presence of clouds in the images, has been a traditional limitation of remote sensing in the optical domain. Nevertheless, most of the conceptual tools and algorithms developed classically in remote sensing are based on the input of a series of cloud-free images from identical sensors. In this study, we propose a conceptual framework that is able to ingest data from several different sensors, make them homogeneous, eliminate clouds virtually, and make them usable in a flexible, efficient, and transparent way. The methodology is based on previous developments such as spatial ‘downscaling’, temp…
On marrying ontological and metamodeling technical spaces
2007
In software engineering, the use of models and metamodeling approaches (e.g., MDA with MOF/UML) for purposes such as software design or software validation is an established practice. Ontologies constitute domain models formalized using expressive logic languages for class definitions and rules. Hence, when seen from an abstract point of view, the two paradigms and their various technological spaces seem closely related. However, in the state-of-the-art research and practice the two technologies are just beginning to converge and the relationship between the two is still under exploration. In this paper, we give an outline of current ontology technologies, such as the Semantic Web standards…
Intelligent transport systems harmonisation assessment: use case of some Spanish intelligent transport systems services
2013
From the 1980s, new telematic technologies have meant a great evolution in several areas. In the transportation domain, their use has implied the development and implementation of several intelligent transport systems (ITS). However, these deployments were done in an isolated way. Traffic managers, public and private organisations, stakeholders and others have implemented ITS without much perspective, that is, without providing ITS as services for end users. In the last few years, several European Union (EU) funded projects have been dealing with the development of harmonised ITS services. For example, the EasyWay Project is involving most of the European countries (EU member states and oth…
Blockchain based Inter-domain Latency Aware Routing Proposal in Software Defined Network
2018
Border gateway protocol (BGP) version 4 is routing current Internet for more than 20 years. BGP is the only protocol that has proven its routing capability of such size network with continually growing nature. Although BGP is scalable and network layer reachability information it lacks quality of service metrics like latency. BGP routing decision algorithm uses as-path length between autonomous systems (AS) as main factor for most of its best-path calculations. Because of more affordable peering architectures as-path length is generally decreasing in worldwide internet network resulting in less efficient routes for real-time internet protocol traffic. This study proposes future internet arc…
Sources of life satisfaction judgments in Latvia
2010
AbstractResearch indicates that life satisfaction judgments may be influenced by many different factors, but there is no clear evidence how these judgments are constructed. The purpose of this study was to examine sources of life satisfaction judgments in Latvia. Respondents (N=605) aged 18 - 70 completed self report measures of life satisfaction (SWLS), satisfaction with life domains, stressful life events, positive and negative affects (PANAS). Regression analysis shows that model including satisfaction with different life domains, positive and negative affects and number of stressful life events measures explains 53% of the variance in the overall life satisfaction. Immediately after com…
Shakedown of elastic—plastic solids with frictionless unilateral contact boundary conditions
1997
Abstract Elastic perfectly plastic solids (or structures) in frictionless unilateral contact with a rigid obstacle and subjected to quasi-statically variable loads within a given domain are considered. In the hypothesis that the structure undergoes small displacements and complies with a d -stability requisite herein introduced, a Melantype shakedown theorem is presented. This theorem is conceptually similar to the classical one; namely, it requires that the unilateral-contact elastic stress response to the loads and to some initial plastic strains be plastically admissible everywhere in the body and for all load conditions. A method for evaluating the shakedown load boundary is also discus…
RDF-Based Web Information Integration System: A Travel System Use Case
2018
Enterprises are continually faced with the challenge of integrating heterogeneous systems with incompatible interfaces, data structures (Source structured relational databases, semi-structured sources, XML, or unstructured documents: texts), access mode and technologies. When companies adopt SOA (Service Oriented Architecture), that provides an alternative to traditional design of applications by allowing a designer to assemble and compose existing services that implement the functions of a given application domain, they realize that there is a significant risk that Web services only do not solve the problem of compatibility in the data. Our paper gives a solution to these issues by setting…
Joint Audit: Issues and Challenges for Researchers and Policy-Makers
2013
International audience; The publication of the European Commission Green Paper, ‘Audit Policy: Lessons from the Crisis’ in October 2010, has stirred up a lively debate on the role of joint audits. This literature review identifies and evaluates, for the benefit of future research and regulators, existing evidence about joint audits. We find limited empirical support to suggest that joint audits lead to increased audit quality, but some empirical support to suggest that joint audits lead to additional costs. Overall, this paper indicates that joint audit should be seen as a mechanism that is embedded in a broader institutional context and not be considered in isolation from other factors tha…
