The rich, complementary data provided by Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellite constellations host considerable potential to transform Earth observation (EO) applications. However, a substantial amount of effort infrastructure is still required for the generation analysis-ready (ARD) from low-level products European Space Agency (ESA). Here, flexible Python framework able generate range consisten...

The revision of beliefs is an important general purpose functionality that an agent must exhibit. The agent usually needs to perform this task in cooperation with other agents, because access to knowledge and the knowledge itself are distributed in nature. In this work, we propose a new approach for performing belief revision in a society of logic-based agents, by means of a (distributed) genet...

Methods for the halftoning of images on multi-level printing devices such as multi-level inkjet printers are presented. Due to the relatively large size of single droplets, halftoning algorithms are still needed. However, since halftoning occurs between the basic levels attainable by printing one, two or several droplets at the same position, artefacts are less visible than in equal resolution ...

We analyze situations in which a group of agents (and possibly a designer) have to reach a decision that will affect all the agents. Examples of such scenarios include the selection of a candidate, the location of a nuclear reactor or the siting of a major sports event. To address the problem of reaching a decision, we propose a one-stage multi-bidding mechanism in which agents submit bids to d...

The communication cost plays a key role in the performance of many parallel algorithms. In the particular case of the one-sided Jacobi method for symmetric eigenvalue and eigenvector computation the communication cost of previously proposed algorithms is mainly determined by the particular ordering being used. In this paper we proposed two novel Jacobi orderings: the permuted-BR ordering and th...

the sensitivity analysis for multi-attribute decision making (madm) problems is important for two reasons: first, the decision matrix as the source of the results of a decision problem is inaccurate because it sorts the alternatives in each criterion inaccurately. second, the decision maker may change his opinions in a time period because of changes in the importance of the criteria and in the ...

the majority of patients with glioblastoma multiforme (gbm) suffer dismal outcomes. adopting a broader, multi-mechanistic, multi-agent approach targeting gbm using readily available and fairly benign agents in combination with standard therapy may improve outcomes. such agents include fluoxetine, fenofibrate, cimetidine, citrulline, valacyclovir, 1,3 1-6 beta glucan, and tadalafil, among others...
