Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) are being widely used in the environmental sciences to
share, discover, visualize and retrieve geospatial data through Open Geospatial Consortium …

In this paper, we provide the theoretical foundation and an effective algorithm for localizing
topological attributes such as tunnels and voids. Unlike previous work that focused on 2 …

This paper suggests an algorithm for extracting the location of a building from satellite
imagery and using that information to modify the roof content. The materials are determined …

The OGC Web Processing Service (WPS) specification allows generating information by
processing distributed geospatial data made available through Spatial Data Infrastructures …

Understanding the complexity of earth-system processes is crucial to convey improved
information on the environment to decision-makers and the general public. Addressing this …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) provides an effective and noninvasive tool
for researchers to understand cerebral functions and correlate them with brain activities. In …

Recently a new Grid-based software platform was developed to allow remote sensing image
processing for preventing disasters like river floods and forest fires. While several innovative …

This paper presents a solution to analyze the performance of grid scheduling algorithms for
tasks with dependencies. Finding the optimal procedures for DAG scheduling in Grid …

In this paper, based on a thorough analysis of different policies for DAG scheduling, an
improved algorithm ICPDP (Improved Critical Path using Descendant Prediction) is …

This paper presents a solution for real-time satellite image processing. The focus is on the
