This paper will demonstrate how new technologies in cartographic environment integrate acquisition, management and representation techniques for georefencing data processing. Moreover, there is an ever-growing demand for a more “representative” and “world widespread” digital cartography. More representative means the capabilities in describing physical phenomena but also social, economic and cu...

The objective of this paper is to develop and implement a Cellular Automata (CA) algorithm to simulate urban growth process. Indianapolis city, Indiana is selected as a case study to simulate its urban growth over the last three decades. Urban growth simulation for an artificial city is carried out first. It evaluates a number of urban sprawl parameters including the size and shape of neighborh...

[1] In this study, we evaluate the intensity of the CentralPacific (CP) and Eastern-Pacific (EP) types of El NiñoSouthern Oscillation (ENSO) simulated in the pre-industrial, historical, and the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 4.5 experiments of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5). Compared to the CMIP3 models, the pre-industrial simulations of the CMIP5 models ...

In this paper we present a simulation based approach to predict the expected probability distribution that describes the size of a software project in a given period in the future. Since the simulation strongly depends on historical information, we propose the collection of such data from version control systems, which are well-known and widely used in the industry. We discuss the information c...

The Battle of 73 Easting was recreated using VT MÄK’s VR-Forces constructive combat model. The battle was carefully recreated by representing the specific starting locations, formations, routes, combat entities, and weapons present in the battle. The model’s weapon and entity parameters were modified from within the simulation tool’s user interface. The method employed was similar to the retroa...
