This paper describes an augmented reality (AR) environment that allows multiple participants or multi-user to interact with 2D and 3D data. AR simply can provide a collaborative interactive AR environment for urban planning, where users can interact naturally and intuitively. In addition, the collaborative AR makes participants in urban planning to share simultaneously a real world and virtual ...

Collaborative governance has been introduced in the planning and implementation phases of river management, but has not yet reached the maintenance phase. In anticipation of this, this article explores how stakeholders shape collaborative initiatives aimed at maintaining multifunctional floodplains by analyzing their framing of collaboration objectives and membership structures. The case study ...

As more and more travelers wish to create their personalised trip itineraries, the provision of geographical information and services on travel websites is an unavoidable necessity. The evolution of geoportals, geocollaborative portals and web 2.0 present numerous opportunities and services for making the trip planning process less complex and time consuming, more efficient and more social and ...

This paper presents the rationale and design for a collaborative virtual environment that is being developed to aid shared assessment of urban planning proposals. The research aims to show how a collaborative virtual environment system can be constructed, applied and used in the context of urban planning. A navigable and interactive collaborative virtual environment is being created in which pl...

Navigation modules are capable of driving a robotic platform without direct human participation. However, for some specific contexts, it is preferable to give the control to a human driver. The human driver participation in the robotic control process when the navigation module is running raises the share control issue. This work presents a new approach for two agents collaborative planning usi...

Background & Aims of the Study : The effective clinical training is from essential and important parts of medical education. Survey theviewpoints of medical students in this area as the pivot of education can be an effective step in planning of clinical education program and effective and efficient evaluation of it. This study was conducted by the aim of determination of medical externs and int...

Contemporary and near-future military coalition environments present a number of challenges for military planning. Not only must military planners create plans against a backdrop of strict time constraints and uncertain information, they must also coordinate their planning efforts with other planning staff (often from different organizational, linguistic and cultural communities). This paper ex...

All-pairs shortest paths (APSP) can eliminate the need to search in a graph, providing optimal moves very fast. A major challenge is storing pre-computed APSP data efficiently. Recently, compression has successfully been employed to scale the use of APSP data to roadmaps and gridmaps of realistic sizes. We develop new techniques that improve the compression power of state-of-the-art methods by ...

We address the collaborative planning problem in teams of agents where partners have different objectives and norms. In this context, agreeing on the best course of action to adopt represents a significant challenge. Concurrent actions and causal plan-constraints may lead to conflicts of opinion on what to do. Moreover, individual norms can constrain agent behaviour. We propose an argumentation...
