Abstract
In traditional channelized multiple access systems, such as TDMA and FDMA, each user is assigned a fixed amount of bandwidth during the whole connection time, and the teletraffic [...]
Abstract
There is a debate among policy analysts about whether fuel taxes alone are the most effective policy to reduce fuel use by motorists, or whether to also use mandatory standards [...]
Abstract
Mobility is a vital part of human life. Mobility needs can be met in a variety of ways: motorized and non-motorized individual traffic, local public transport using buses [...]
Abstract

Abstract
In view of the steadily growing car traffic and the limited capacity of our street networks, we are facing a situation where methods for better traffic management are becoming [...]
Abstract
In this paper, we present a new Integer Program (IP) for the Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) problem. The model we propose provides a complete representation of all the [...]
Abstract
Micro-simulations for transport planning are becoming increasingly important in traffic simulation, traffic analysis, and traffic forecasting. In the last decades the shift [...]

Abstract
Service-oriented computing is calling for novel computational models and languages with primitives for client-server interaction, orchestration and unexpected events handling. [...]
Abstract
Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are set to become part of everyday air traffic operations perhaps within the next few years; however there are significant challenges that need [...]
Abstract
This paper describes the development of a five degree of freedom towed underwater vehicle designed for condition monitoring of undersea pipelines. Its innovative design, with [...]
Abstract
High demand for researchers and scientists has led to an increase in skilled migration in recent years. The paper focuses on improving our understanding of the push and pull [...]
Abstract
Sublithospheric small-scale convection (SSC) is thought to be responsible for the flattening of the seafloor depth and surface heat flow observed in mature plates. Although [...]
Abstract
In this work, we present a finite element model to approximate the modified Boussinesq equations. The objective is to deal with the major problem associated with this system [...]
Abstract
This paper presents the thermal evaluation of an evacuated PVT collector designed to operate under concentrated radiation (15 suns). Finite volume 3D numerical computations [...]
Abstract
This research aims at developing new standardized typologies of semitransparent double skin façades formed by PV laminates in the outer skin. At present there are many [...]

Abstract
High sea states, waves breaking near shores andmoving ships, the interaction of extremewaveswith floating structures, green water on deck and sloshing (e.g. in liquid natural [...]
Abstract
Despite its long existence and international acceptance, network theory and analysis is a practically unknown approach in Documentation, both theoretically and methodologically [...]
Abstract
The animation of network visualizations poses technical and theoretical challenges. Rather stable patterns are required before the mental map enables a user to make inferences [...]
Abstract
The wide variety of bibliometric information resources offered for free by Thomson Scientific’s ScienceWatch. com are presented, and their major applications within scientific [...]
Abstract
We present the theoretical and methodological foundations for the development of a multi-agent SDI service model for specialized digital libraries, applying semantic web technologies [...]
Abstract
We discuss the popularity of Cuba’s MES (Ministry of Higher Education) centres, as well as their interconnectedness and visibility on the world wide web. The role of links [...]
