The University of Alberta Press Between 1902 and 1930, Dominion Land Surveyor Morrison Parsons Bridgland spent nearly every summer mapping the mountains of Alberta and British Columbia, climbing many of Canada’s Rocky Mountains for the first time. This unheralded alpinist perfected phototopographical techniques to compile a series of mountaintop photographs to create accurate topographical maps...

Sensor data classi cation is very dependent on which features represent primitives. We consider line segments extracted from laser points as primitives, and focus on their collective classi cation into door or wall objects, so as to build semantic maps. Because features may have non-trivial characteristics, and sensor primitives may be inter-related in complex ways, we represent features of spa...

The paper analyses traditional quality control methods for business processes and their efficiency in respect to semi-structured process. We update a classical methodology to handle semistructured processes: improve its execution and operational efficiency in a company. We propose Some new methods: under the Define step – a new method for describing business processes with the help of semantic ...

This article describes a spatial model for matching semantic values between two languages, French and English. Based on semantic similarity links, the model constructs a map that represents a word in the source language. Then the algorithm projects the map values onto a space in the target language. The new space abides by the semantic similarity links specific to the second language. Then the ...

An important issue in mobile computing systems is the administration of locationbased access control policies, particularly the mechanism for specification and enforcement of spatial constraints. Simplifying the administration of such policies requires a mechanism that supports both an intuitive and scalable spatial constraint specification and a flexible enforcement architecture. In this paper...

The semantic map methodology has been applied mainly to the analysis of the multifunctionality of grammatical morphemes—they allow one to deal with this problem without having to decide between monosemic and polysemic analyses. Similar issues arise when dealing with derivational morphemes and word formation patterns so that this methodology can be extended to their analysis. As a case study, ca...
