Remote sensing data is collected and analyzed to enhance understanding of the terrestrial surface– in composition, in form or in function. One approach to accomplishing this is by designing the analysis process as an iterated composite of several analyst-directed modules. This paper proposes such a modular design for the data analysis. The proposed methodology was applied in a project to obtain...

Modular distributed modeling is introduced as a novel Internet-based architecture enabling cooperative engineering design, distributed black-box modeling of engineered artifacts, and open, competitive e-commerce. The motivation for modular distributed modeling is that today’s engineering and manufacturing communities have been fundamentally altered by two factors: (a) the development of non-cap...

The modular ecosystem modeling approach was used to create a flexible landscape model structure that is easy to modify and extend for particular case studies and applications. The Library of Hydro Ecological Modules (LHEM; http://iee.umces.edu/LHEM) includes modules that describe hydrologic processes, nutrient cycling, vegetation growth, decomposition, etc., both locally and spatially. LHEM is ...

This paper introduces an approach for object-oriented modeling of modular-hierarchical systems that supports inheritance and polymorphic operations. The key ideas of the approach are motivated by requirements that arise from modeling and simulation of variable structure systems. A novel deenition of modular-hierarchical systems with discrete structural changes is given before the modeling appro...

In this paper, we discuss the existence and uniqueness of xed points for Banach and Kannancontractions dened on modular spaces endowed with a graph. We do not impose the Δ2-conditionor the Fatou property on the modular spaces to give generalizations of some recent results. Thegiven results play as a modular version of metric xed point results.

let $g$ be a connected graph of order $3$ or more and $c:e(g)rightarrowmathbb{z}_k$‎ ‎($kge 2$) a $k$-edge coloring of $g$ where adjacent edges may be colored the same‎. ‎the color sum $s(v)$ of a vertex $v$ of $g$ is the sum in $mathbb{z}_k$ of the colors of the edges incident with $v.$ the $k$-edge coloring $c$ is a modular $k$-edge coloring of $g$ if $s(u)ne s(v)$ in $mathbb{z}_k$ for all pa...
