Automatic Sampling of Geographic objects

Many processes are based on the analysis of geographic objects. However, some processes allow to take only into account a limited number of objects. This limitation can come from the implication of an expert in the process (e.g. (Mustière, 2005)) or from the computation complexity of the process (e.g. (Taillandier et al., 2008)). In this context, it becomes important to be able to select a rele...

Improving Interoperability of 3D Geographic Features via Geographic Managed Objects

This paper presents a method to improve the interoperability of 3D geospatial features from the perspective of data representation, with an emphasis on the interoperability of advanced functions associated with 3D models, such as thematic functions, interaction capabilities, and dynamics. The central concept of the proposed method is to express geospatial features in the form of managed objects...

Is the Future of Health-care Technology or Goal Driven?

To the Editor: Health-care redesign seems to be a buzzword in the USA. However, the President Trump recently objected to some parts of Obamacare. No one doubts the importance of the initiatives of “shooting for the moon” and precision medicine in cancer treatment. All-round health care has had a major beneficial impact through state‐of‐the‐art technology, such as big data, internet medical care...
