Andre van Delden and Reinhard Moratz. “Crossing the Boundary: Two Benchmarks for Qualitative Spatial Reasoning bridging Relative Directions and Mereotopology”, Spatial Cognition, 2014 (in press) Abstract: A well known problem of classical Qualitative Spatial Reasoning relying on composition tables is the strict division of different spatial aspects. For example, when dealing with relative directional relations, mereotopological […]

Beard, K. (201).Visualization of Uncertainty. In D. Richardson (Ed). International Encyclopedia of Geography: People, the Earth, Environment, and Technology. Wiley- AAG. Abstract: Uncertainty is endemic to our world and the data collected and assembled in databases to represent the world. Because uncertainty is usually not explicitly represented, it is often not considered and assessed as a […]

Published: Jan 1, 2013 Author(s): Gagne, David, Rode, Sonia, Turner, Roy M. Abstract: Many tasks requiring multiple autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are simple, with static goals, of short duration, and require few AUVs, often of the same type. Simple coordination mechanisms that assign roles to AUVs before the mission are sufficient for these multi-AUV systems. However, for tasks that […]

Strout, A.B., and Turner, R.M. A game engine-based simulator forautonomous underwater vehicles, in Proceedings of the 18th International Symposium on Untethered Submersible Technology (UUST 2013), Portsmouth, NH, August 2013. Abstract: The ideal development platform for autonomous underwater vehicle control software is an actual physical vehicle. However, limited availability of AUVs and the high costs associated with purchasing and […]
