We propose to automate much of the data collection and tuning necessary for recreational modeling by utilizing Global Positioning System (GPS) data. As GPS technology becomes more ubiquitous and affordable, increasing numbers of outdoor enthusiasts are utilizing the technology for navigation and trip logging. GPS data collected by recreators can be used to both generate travel networks and to d...

The goal of this paper is to enable readers to better “design” successful transitions that move Science and Technology or Research and Development (S&T/R&D) technologies and systems into operational capabilities for users. Transitions from S&T/R&D into acquisition and operations are challenging and critical to providing capabilities to end users. Two historical examples, the Global Positioning ...

The ionosphere is the major contributor of errors in Global Positioning System (GPS), especially during the 11-year sunspot cycle. The incoming 11-year sunspot cycle is expected to peak in 2013. The ionosphere condition is distinctly severe during ionospheric disturbances caused by high solar activity, which raises the question of how will this affect the ionosphere in the equatorial region, es...

Global Positioning System (GPS)-equipped probe vehicles have been one of the principal techniques in detection of traffic flow. In order to guide the application of the different methods using data from GPS probe vehicles, this paper compares two of the most popular methods using the GPS data to estimate traffic statethe method of tracking probe vehicles, and the one of fitting the model with t...

We demonstrate a one-dimensional optical lattice clock with a spin-polarized fermionic isotope designed to realize a collision-shift-free atomic clock with neutral atom ensembles. To reduce systematic uncertainties, we developed both Zeeman shift and vector light-shift cancellation techniques. By introducing both an H-maser and a Global Positioning System (GPS) carrier phase link, the absolute ...

We present interference analysis from Non-communication device which is used in many applications such as factory, home and hospital into Global Positioning System (GPS) Service. GPS service is used to detect location for car driving and safety of life. Nowadays, non-communication devices are increased rapidly. Therefore, in case that noncommunication device and GPS receiver are operated in clo...

Efficient Consumer Response (ECR) has recently emerged as a grocery industry strategy giving emphasis to the application of modern management methods, co-operative practices and available technologies in order to achieve a responsive, consumer-driven replenishment system. Under this strategy, information technology (IT) and information systems (IS) in general seem to play a key role, through th...

Flocking is a striking example of collective behaviour that is found in insect swarms, fish schools and mammal herds. A major factor in the evolution of flocking behaviour is thought to be predation, whereby larger and/or more cohesive groups are better at detecting predators (as, for example, in the 'many eyes theory'), and diluting the effects of predators (as in the 'selfish-herd theory') th...

This paper presents the issues confronting a large Australian university in revising its curriculum in order to effectively respond to the changing demands of the technical environment and an increasing need to produce graduates who are team players. The paper first defines the outcomes of an IS education at this university and then moves on to defining an IS curriculum for 2005 (the target yea...
