As a tool for human spatial cognition and thinking, the map has been playing an important role. Maps are perhaps as fundamental to society as language and the written word. Economic and social development requires extensive and in-depth understanding of their own living environment, from the scope of the overall global to urban housing. This has brought unprecedented opportunities and challenge...

This article presents a case study describing how Saint Francis Care developed its strategy for using the Internet and e-commerce. Planning strategies are discussed, as are implementation plans and expected benefits.

In this paper, an approach is presented to automatically allocate a set of exploration tasks between a fleet of mobile robots. The approach combines a Road-Map technique and Markovian Decision Processes (MDPs). The addressed problem consists of exploring an area where a set of points of interest characterizes the main positions to be visited by the robots. This problem induces a long term horiz...

English. This paper presents the analysis of a mapping between two resources, IMAGACT and T-PAS, made through a rule-based algorithm which converts argument structures in thematic roles. Results are good in terms of Recall, while Precision values are low: an analysis of the causes is proposed. Italiano. Questo articolo presenta l’analisi di un mapping tra le risorse IMAGACT e T-PAS, realizzato ...

In this paper, we propose an extension of existing geographic information systems to support querying-by-sketch. It makes use of a particular class of queries, called qualitative spatial configuration queries, to match sketch-maps against spatial datasets. After analyzing several approaches, we identify the development of a dedicated qualitative layer as the most suitable solution. To face the ...
