Desktop GeoVirtual Environments, particularly ones intended to facilitate geographic visualization, require the design of special interface methods for navigation and orientation. These methods, ideally, should support movement through the environment with little cognitive effort. For desktop (and immersive) GeoVEs developed thus far, interface methods have been borrowed from other virtual envi...

The recent release of European Ground Motion Service (EGMS) products implemented under the responsibility Copernicus Land Monitoring (CLMS) guarantees free and accessible Europe-wide ground motion data for deformation analysis at local regional scales. need value-adding services tools optimal dissemination radar from Sentinel-1 satellite mission urges scientific community to find efficient solu...

In this study, we use eye tracking to compare the impact of ads on viewing behavior on desktop computers and mobile phones. As in previous studies, we use a list-based search engine results pages (SERPs) to conduct our examination. Our preliminary results contradict banner blindness on SERPs both on desktop computers and mobile phones. Additionally, the preliminary results suggest that top ads ...

Hybrid Distributed Computing Infrastructures (DCIs) allow users to combine Grids, Desktop Grids, Clouds, etc. to obtain for their users even larger computing capabilities. In this paper, we present an experimental study of the SpeQuloS framework which aims at providing QoS to Desktop Grid by provisioning on-demand Cloud resources. We describe the experimental platform which relies on Grid5000 t...
