Decision-makers in the fields of urban and regional planning in Germany face new challenges. High rates of urban sprawl need to be reduced by increased inner-urban development while settlements have to adapt to climate change and contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions at the same time. In this study, we analyze conflicts in the management of urban areas and develop integrated s...

On-line Analytical Processing (OLAP) has become a very useful tool in decision support systems built on data warehouses. ROLAP (Relational OLAP) and MOLAP (Mul-tidimensional OLAP) are two popular approaches for building OLAP systems. These two approaches have very diierent performance characteristics: MOLAP has good query performance but bad space eeciency, while ROLAP can be built on mature RD...

We present in this paper some of the properties of hierarchical Gaussian networks HGβ , an interesting hierarchical-type structure built up with dense Midimews. We also provide the optimal routing algorithm for these structures. Such networks may be considered in the design of efective and optimized interconnection networks.

The creation of surfaces from overlapping images taken from different vantages is a hard and important problem in computer vision. Recent developments fall primarily into two categories: the use of dense matching to produce point clouds from which surfaces are built, and the construction of surfaces from images directly. This paper presents a new method for surface reconstruction falling in the...

abstract decadal changes in land use/land cover for balachaur watershed in nawanshahar district, punjab, india were studied using black and white aerial photographs for march 1984 on approximately 1:20,000 scale and multidate geocoded false colour composites (fcc) of irs-1d liss-iii on 1:50,000 scale for march 2002, september 2002, and may 2003 and interpreted visually to prepare land use/land ...
