The Comparing Modeling Approaches (CMA) workshop proposed in 2011 a set of criteria that allows modellers to understand, analyze, classify and compare various modelling approaches. Based on feedback gained from applying the criteria, the criteria and questionnaire document were revised and extended multiple times. In this paper, we suggest a change to the criteria that is aimed at improving the...

This paper deals with a Speed Limit Assistant (SLA) performing the fusion of a Geographic Information System (GIS) and a vision system. The present strategy is based on multi-level data fusion using Evidence Theory. In a first step, the GIS reliability is estimated through GIS criteria related to the positioning, the localization and the digital map resolution. Contextual criteria also extracte...

Let s ∈ R and p ≥ 1; the Sobolev space Lp,s(Rd) is the space of tempered distributions f such that (Id−∆)s/2 f ∈ Lp, where (Id−∆)s/2 is the Fourier multiplier by (1 + |ξ|2)s/2. If s > d/p, then Lp,s is composed of continuous functions; more precisely, the Sobolev embeddings state that Lp,s↩Cs−d/p, see [24, Chapter 11]. In order to state in which sense this embedding is sharp, we need to recall ...

Today, one of the most fundamental issues within the field of industrial and nonindustrial activities is evaluate the costs performance of the units which are associated with industrial and nonindustrial activities. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a nonparametric method for evaluating performance. Fuzzy sets theory is a powerful tool for mentioning ambiguous situations. Traditional DEA model...

Nowadays a wide range of operational and research activities in different fields of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) consist of decision making problems. Decision making is the main element in the spatial analysis in geographic studies and skills related to the success of the planning process. This paper has been written in the field of GIS and decision making. This paper provides a survey ...

INTRODUCTION The main aim of medical education is to foster the development of clinical competence in students at all levels. Differences in experiences, methods of instruction and ambiguous forms of assessment are obstacles to attaining this goal. Dissatisfaction with the conventional methods of clinical assessment on the part of teachers and students led assessors to search for appropriate al...
