First steps in metacomputing with Amica
The metacomputing system Amica is a new approach to support the development of coarse grained applications for distributed, dynamic, heterogeneous systems (e.g. computers linked to the Internet). It aims at location-transparent and convenient design of distributed applications and at easy integration of legacy systems. Applications are described in the form of application graphs based on a pred...
متن کاملAutonomous Robotic Meteorite Identification in Antarctica
This paper describes the development and implementation of a Bayes network based system for distinguishing terrestrial rocks from meteorites from onboard the mobile robotic rover Nomad. Equipped with a color camera and spectrometer, Nomad autonomously made the first robotic identification of a meteorite, in January 2000 at the Elephant Moraine, Antarctica. This paper discusses rock classificati...
متن کاملA remote, autonomous laboratory for Antarctica with hybrid power generation
The AASTINO (Automated Astrophysical Site Testing INternational Observatory) is a remote laboratory that has been operating at Dome C station on the Antarctic plateau since January 2003. It is designed to run throughout the Antarctic winter without intervention, and to collect data on the astronomical qualities of the site. A Stirling engine and a pair of solar panels power the observatory. Com...

متن کاملStudy of the Penetration Bias of ENVISAT Altimeter Observations over Antarctica in Comparison to ICESat Observations
The aim of this article is to characterize the penetration bias of the ENVIronmental SATellite (ENVISAT) radar altimeter over the Antarctic ice sheet through comparison with the more accurate measurements of the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) altimeter at crossover points. We studied the difference between ENVISAT and ICESat fluctuations over six years. We observed the same pa...
