This study describes the architecture and capabilities of an open source agent-based Java platform that permits the systematic study of interactions among hydrology, climate, and strategic human decision-making in a watershed over time. To demonstrate the platform’s use and capabilities, an application is presented in accordance with ODD protocol requirements that captures, in simplified form, ...

ImageSegmentation, Indexing Feature Extraction, Feature Generation. This paper indicate that polarization channel based feature grouping followed by a multi-classifier decision fusion framework performs markedly better than traditional SLDA and LDA based dimensionality reduction, followed by a single-classifier. Results illustrates the classification maps generated using the proposed MCDF frame...
