Visual map features like streets, rail tracks, or rivers do not provide enough space to visualize multiple attributes on them. Related approaches to solve space issues distort the map with lenses, apply distortion techniques to the map geometry, or employ three dimensional visualizations. All these techniques come at the cost of distortion or overlapping of relevant map features or they even pr...

although typically small in terms of their spatial footprint, landslide hazards are relativelyfrequent in northern iran. we assess landslide susceptibility for the nearly 20.000 km2 large study area of the urmia lake basin which is dominated by agricultural land use but includes the major settlements areas of the east azerbaijan province, iran. landslide factors are established in form of gis d...

Purpose – To explore the current literature base of critical success factors (CSFs) of ERP implementations, prepare a compilation, and identify any gaps that might exist. Design/methodology/approach – Hundreds of journals were searched using key terms identified in a preliminary literature review. Successive rounds of article abstract reviews resulted in 45 articles being selected for the compi...

It is vital to understand what kind of processes for learning that Geovisual Analytics creates, as certain activities and conditions are produced when employing Geovisual Anlytic tools in education. To understand learning processes created by Geovisual Analytics, first requires an understanding of the interactions between the technology, the workplace where the learning takes place, and learner...

This paper wishes to introduce new concepts to be applied for future Internet generations. These concepts are based on the introduction of some intelligence in a policy-based networking environment. We first describe a policy-based networking environment and some new protocols allowing an easy control of the QoS and the mobility. Then, we describe the I3 platform able to support some intelligen...

Since recent work shows that there exists long-term correlation in traac of both local and wide area networks, not only in traditional data traac but also in newly emerging video traac, it is likely that future Internet may have to support traac that has long-term correlation. It is therefore important to understand impact of traac correlation on network performance. This paper presents a solid...

In recent years, with global sustainable economic development, poverty is still one of the most pressing issues facing in the world. Many poor families have to face in their daily lives the complex and difficult economic decisions, and often the poor and the rich in these intertemporal preferences are different. Studies show that poverty will impact intertemporal choice through two intermediary...

This paper identifies a new factor, the age of the housing stock, that affects where highand low-income neighborhoods are located in U.S. cities. High-income households, driven by a high demand for housing services, will tend to locate in areas of the city where the housing stock is relatively young. Because cities develop and redevelop from the center outward over time, the location of these n...

Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) projects and their crowdsourced data have been the focus of a number of scientific analyses and investigations in recent years. Oftentimes the results show that the collaboratively collected geodata of one of the most popular VGI projects, OpenStreetMap (OSM), provides good coverage in urban areas when considering particular completeness factors. However...
