LANDFORM – GIS based generation of topographic attributes for landform classification in Australia

This paper presents LANDFORM, a customized GIS application for semi-automated landform classification based on the definitions of SPEIGHT (1990). A set of commands for GeoMedia was developed for an easy step-by-step generation of topographic attributes for the classification of landform elements. Using the new commands topographic attributes like curvature or elevation percentile were derived f...

Information Technology and Business Alignments among Different Divisions: A Comparative Analysis of Japan and South Korea

This paper empirically investigates whether information technology (IT) strategies, business strategies, and divisions are aligned to meet overall business goals for Korean Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), based on structure based Strategic Alignment Model, and make comparison with those of Japanese SMEs. Using 2,869 valid responses of Korean Human Capital Corporate Panel survey, a re...

Complexity in natural landform patterns

Patterns in nature, such as meandering rivers and sand dunes, display complex behavior seemingly at odds with their simplicity of form. Existing approaches to modeling natural landform patterns, reductionism and universality, are incompatible with the nonlinear, open nature of natural systems. An alternative modeling methodology based on the tendency of natural systems to self-organize in tempo...
