Remote sensing has proved its usefulness for the crisis mitigation through situation report and damage assessment. Visual analysis of satellite images is conducted by analysts, however automatic or decision aid method are desired. We propose a semi-automatic damage assessment method based on a pair of very high spatial resolution (VHR) images and some ancillary data. It is applied to two disast...

Security plays an major role in the ability to deploy and access trustworthy information from a wireless sensor network. Local monitoring schemes have proved to be effective mechanisms for security in Wireless sensor networks. Designing an efficient scheme integrated with good monitoring capability and also secure against various kinds of attacks is the need of the hour. Better performance is a...

in today's business environment in which coordination and adaptation with constant changes are the only ways of survival, real-time monitoring of activities and making the decisions accordingly are necessary. since performance measurement cannot be managed independent of business processes, business activity monitoring (bam) systems should monitor performance metrics based on business processes...

usually, in monitoring schemes the nominal value of the process parameter is assumed known. however, this assumption is violated owing to costly sampling and lack of data particularly in healthcare systems. on the other hand, applying a fixed control limit for the risk-adjusted bernoulli chart causes to a variable in-control average run length performance for patient populations with dissimilar...

In recent years, some researches have been done on simultaneous monitoring of multivariate process mean vector and covariance matrix. However, the effect of measurement error, which exists in many practical applications, on the performance of these control charts is not well studied. In this paper, the effect of measurement error with linearly increasing variance on the performance of ELR contr...
