The SIS (SmoothIT Information Service) entity has been introduced by FP7 project SmoothIT, to support Economic Traffic Management (ETM) for overlays. It is employed by ETM mechanisms in order to convey information between the overlay application and the underlay network. In this paper we present two different ways of cooperation between the SIS entities of different ISPs, in the case that these...

Dynamics of electron-trapping materials (ETMs) is investigated. Based on experimental observations, evolution of the ETM's luminescence is mathematically modeled by a nonlinear differential equation. This improved model can predict dynamics of ETM under blue light and near-infrared (NIR) exposures during charging, discharging, simultaneous illumination, and in the equilibrium state. The equilib...

A C++ language-based software tool for retrieving land surface temperature (LST) from the data of Landsat TM/ ETM+ band6 is developed. It has two main functional modules: (1) Three methods to compute the ground emissivity based on land use/cover classification image, NDVI image and the ratio values of vegetation and bare ground and (2) Converting digital numbers (DNs) from TM/ETM+ band6 to LST....

In Beijing, some crop field is similar to urbanized area in spectral space of ETM+ image, and this is an obstacle to extract urbanized area of Beijing from ETM+ image. Furthermore, classical texture such as variance can not improve the seperability of such two landcovers. This article proposed a skewness based framework to extract the profile of urbanized area, while skewness was seldom applied...

-This is the second paper of the series on atmospheric correction of ETM+ land surface imagery. In the first paper, a new algorithm that corrects heterogeneous aerosol scattering and surface adjacency effects was presented. In this study, our objectives are to 1) evaluate the accuracy of this new atmospheric correction algorithm using ground radiometric measurements; 2) apply this algorithm to ...

Flocculation has an important impact on particle trapping in estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM) through associated increases in particle settling velocity. To quantify the importance of the flocculation processes, a size-resolved flocculation model is implemented into an ocean circulation model to simulate fine-grained particle trapping in an ETM. The model resolves the particle size from robust...
