Trajectory planning of robots is not only an important research field of robotics, but also an challenging combination of artificial intelligence and robotics. Trajectory planning is a key technology of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). It is also a prerequisite for autonomous navigation of UAV. Under the static environment distributing of obstacles, seeking a shortest path from the starting point to...
The fast technological development dictates the growing demand for knowledge and skills. Thus, it is necessary to offer learners a more flexible way of knowledge acquisition, in which they can plan their studies independently. The studies are adjusted individually to the needs of each learner, because not everybody has the opportunity to participate in traditional learning process. The authors offer...
The behavior of a system can be described by a set of operations — sometimes called activities or tasks. The process to specify these operation seems to be a real challenge in various situations, for example when designing automation systems or keeping track of the work at an emergency department. In practice, operation behavior specification is often quite inflexible because every possible execution...
In summer 2011 the US EPA's Climate Ready Estuaries program awarded funds to the Piscataqua Region Estuaries Partnership in coastal New Hampshire to further develop and use COAST (COastal Adaptation to Sea level rise Tool) for sea level rise adaptation planning. The New England Environmental Finance Center (EFC) worked with municipal staff, elected officials, and other stakeholders to select specific...
Products are the main carrier with which the enterprises and the consumers communicate with each other, the product style contains two kind of information from the enterprises and the consumers side. Product style map is an effective tool for product strategy planning. So word processing technology was firstly investigated including methods of new words identification, words semantic measurement,...
Universities throughout the world operate with large amounts of data, typically scattered across multiple, non-centralized information systems and applications. Support of administrative decision-making and knowledge discovery from such decentralized data flows requires a system designed with close eye on the specific needs of the academic and market domains. A model-based approach is needed to plan...
The importance of quality service in Higher Education Institutions (HEI) has increased in recent years. Educational institutions need to assess and enhance their activities, in order to provide a balance of educational capacity and educational supply, and to measure future capability as well as past performance. In this direction the design and adoption of a well-informed strategic management will...
Creativity is one of the major education reforms in the world nowadays. All advanced countries pay more attention on the inspiration of students¡¦ creative thinking ability. With the creative thinking ability, it is important to university students before entering the workplace. Thus, the study mainly proposed a learning model with mind mapping strategy embedded in mobile device for a business planning...
Along with the development of human society and high demand on environmental quality, the assessment of landscape impact has played an important role on the regional planning construction or exploitation project. However, there are still many problems in landscape impact assessment process, because it is difficult to determine the standards and rating scale, besides the evaluation method on landscape...
The planning and construction of campus entrance area is an important part of the integrated and harmonious development of campus and urban. Aiming at several problems in current constructing practice such as formalism, the design of Tianjin light industry technical college entrance area starts from the integrated planning of Haihe educational park, following the idea of “environmental sharing”, use...
For addressing the problem the society has higher and higher demands of government constitution and management of mid-and-long term macro-planning. The five-year planning MIS research on medium-small city based on GIS are established based on Visual Basic6.0 and components of GIS software-MapX, making the management of general planning realize digitization, data indicator become standardization, results...
New institutional economics is a new economic school which grows rapidly in the twentieth century. CiteSpaceII visualization technique was applied to make co-citation networks in terms of bibliographic data results of papers, retrieved from Web of Science between 1900 and 2009, on new institutional economics. Information visualization was employed to identify the whole scene of new institutional economics...
Consider the learning process being layered into events, activities and episodes in increasing order of scope. The act of learning at each layer is evolutionary in that at a time, the best suit among a diversity of options is selected by the learner (or the instructor). A list, a tree structure or even a flowchart can be used to depict the particular sequence of activities that are planned to occur...
Urban poverty in Iraq, which is rapidly increasing, the number of Iraqis living below the poverty line has increased since the US-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003 to one-fifth of the population. This study aimed at showing how GIS tools and geostatistical techniques can be useful to develop structured databases for resource use modeling, planning and management geared to address poverty reduction...
Advances in Internet connections speeds and computer hardware means that web content has grown richer and more interactive for users. One such area is Web3D which has seen the emergence of ISO standard technologies such as VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) and its XML-based (eXtensible Markup Language) successor X3D(eXtensible 3D). X3D, in particular, presents opportunities for further integration...
This research is concerned with a new method of optimizing the design of the supply center for public service considering the locations and service level based on Fuzzy-AHP and service level of service facility using VRP (vehicle routing problem) is one of the evident areas of important points in the design of public service facility. This research is concerned with the development of decision method...
