Autistic individuals typically excel on spatial tests that measure abstract reasoning, such as the Block Design subtest on intelligence test batteries and the Raven's Progressive Matrices nonverbal test of intelligence. Such well-replicated findings suggest that abstract spatial processing is a relative and perhaps absolute strength of autistic individuals. However, previous studies have not sy...

Location intelligence is a set of tools and techniques to integrate a geographical dimension into BI platforms, aimed at enhancing their capability of better monitoring and interpreting business events. Though most commercial data warehouse tools have implemented spatial extensions to support GIS integration, the user experience with spatial data is still mostly limited to the visualization of ...

Urban Dynamics modeling needs to implement spatial organization emergence in order to describe the development of services evolution and their usage within spatial centers. In this paper, we propose an extension of the nest building algorithm with multi-center, multi-criteria and adaptive processes. We combine a decentralized approach based on emergent clustering mixed with spatial constraints ...

In this paper, we propose a swarm intelligence algorithm to deal with dynamical and spatial organization emergence. The goal is to model and simulate the developement of spatial centers using multi-criteria. We combine a decentralized approach based on emergent clustering mixed with spatial constraints or attractions. We propose an extension of the ant nest building algorithm with multi-center ...

Optimized spatial partitioning algorithms are the corner stone of many successful experimental designs and statistical methods. Of these algorithms, the Centroidal Voronoi Tessellation (CVT) is the most widely utilized. CVT based methods require global knowledge of spatial boundaries, do not readily allow for weighted regions, have challenging implementations, and are inefficiently extended to ...

One of the basic requirements of an intelligent agent is the ability to represent and reason about space. While there are a number of approaches for achieving this goal, the recent gains in efficiency of the Satisfiability approach have made it a popular choice. Modern propositional SAT solvers are efficient for a wide variety of problems. However, conversion to propositional SAT can sometimes ...

The embodiment approach suggests that processes in the body influence cognitive performance. Due to this in the present study, female patients with high body awareness-elite athletes and patients with Anorexia Nervosaas well as healthy controls performed a mental rotation task with different kinds of stimuli. Mental rotation is the ability to imagine objects from different perspectives. The res...

The issues with heterogeneous sources of business documents containing unstructured data such as e-mail, maps, reports, images, movies, spreadsheets, web contents, presentation, etc. show that it is unclear to identify which information belongs in the metadata and which to the data. The current spatial data integration techniques are generally by creating metadata and spatial data independently...
