"That which is characterized by extension in all direction, boundlessness, and indefinite divisibility; that in which all physical things are ordered and related at one time; the subject of determinations of position and direction. According to this, space-is boundless, but not infinite, in extent, and a ray of light traveling a sufficiently long time, estimated by Einstein as 500 billion years...

This paper presents a new approach to the software architecture of a high-fidelity multidisciplinary design framework that facilitates the reuse of existing components, the addition of new ones, and the scripting of MDO procedures. As a first step towards this goal, we implement the necessary components of a high-fidelity aero-structural design environment for complete aircraft configurations, ...

This paper proposes a POS aided LiDAR strip adjustment method. Firstly, aero-triangulation of the simultaneously obtained aerial images is conducted with a few photogrammetry-specific ground control points. Secondly, LiDAR intensity images are generated from the reflectance signals of laser foot points, and conjugate points are automatically matched between the LiDAR intensity image and the aer...

The recent developments in telecommunications and the spreading of the Internet culture, have made closer the possibility of having communicational resources as the once envisioned by science fiction, not too far ago. The use of video in telecommunication is already a real possibility not only for corporations and the aero-spatial industry, but also for any person with not necessarily very soph...

ICT plays a critical role in many organisations of today. It is important in well-tried systems development methods as well as in recently improved object-oriented methods to support development of information and communication technology in many different organisations. The methods provide prescribed and formal ways to perform the development. This paper reports the results from two different ...

A new kind of multivariable adaptive fuzzy decoupling controller is present for Aero-engine, which consists of multivariable fuzzy decoupling control and fuzzy model reference learning control. A fuzzy inverse model is used to produce and adjust fuzzy rules online. The simulation results show that this controller is effective.
