The combination of current computer interfaces and the Web has and widely distributed map displays. While the computer has increased inter Web has increased their distribution, other types of computer interfaces with m screen, computer-driven displays are becoming increasingly common for a va make these displays interactive, new computer interfaces are required and s creating public web map dis...

A central problem in grounded language acquisition is learning the correspondences between a rich world state and a stream of text which references that world state. To deal with the high degree of ambiguity present in this setting, we present a generative model that simultaneously segments the text into utterances and maps each utterance to a meaning representation grounded in the world state....

Internet portals are gateways to the World Wide Web, which offer an amalgamation of services, like search engines, online shopping information, email, news, weather reports, stock quotes, community forums, maps, travel information, etc. Furthermore, with the arrival of the Mobile Web, they are also frequently used in Ambient Intelligence scenarios. This paper will discuss basic design considera...

In this paper, we will discuss a map synthesis system which handles static information (geographic objects) as well as dynamic information (traffic conditions, weather, etc.). In addition to geographic thesauruses used in the previous systems, we will use co-existence relationships to improve the quality of maps generation. The system is considered to be general purpose (not restricted to car n...

In this paper we describe a set of techniques we found suitable for building multi-modal search applications for automotive environments. As these applications often search across different topical domains, such as maps, weather or Wikipedia, we discuss the problem of switching focus between different domains. Also, we propose techniques useful for minimizing the response time of the search sys...

Controlling dengue virus transmission mainly involves integrated vector management. Risk maps at appropriate scales can provide valuable information for assessing entomological risk levels. Here, results from a spatio-temporal model of dwellings potentially harboring Aedes aegypti larvae from 2009 to 2011 in Tartane (Martinique, French Antilles) using high spatial resolution remote-sensing envi...

the goal of this research is the determining of planting date and providing agricultural calendar for corn in kermanshah province using climatic elements of temperature and rain fall. so, at first, long term  climatic statistics are collected from 2001 to 2011  and then  considered to temperature and rain fall parameters like  absolute maximum and minimum  in region during growth period, planti...

road accident severity may be influenced by a number of various systematic causal factors. the weather and road accidents have a close relationship with each other and a number of methods have been proposed for measuring the risk of a road accident with rainy, foggy, and snowy weather and high winds. recent studies indicate that road collision rates increase during precipitation. the weather wa...

background and objectives: food security has been most important concern of the mankind on the earth. on the other hand, agricultural productions have always been face by risk probability in the case of weather and changes in international markets, however this risk probability never undeleted completely, but could be minimized that by pre-harvesting yield estimation. in this study, different m...
