Environment-Aware Coverage Optimization for Space-Ground Integrated Maritime Communications

Integrated Traffic and Communications Modeling Environment for ATMIS

The aims of this MOU were to create an integrated environment for modeling traffic flow, sensor data, and the communications infrastructure for ATMIS. The research plan was to build separate tools for measuring the communications requirements of ATMIS traffic, modeling a mobile radio communications environment, and communications network design, and then to integrate them in an object-oriented ...

Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) Technology for Space Communications Applications

Highly-reliable Integrated Circuits for Ground and Space Applications

This paper deal with highly-reliable integrated circuits for ground and space applications especially strong against soft errors. In the terrestrial region, neutrons and alpha particles are main sources to cause soft errors. They flip contents of storage cells such as SRAMs and flip flops on a semiconductor chip. Soft errors must be considered for semiconductor chips for security, automotive, a...

Towards an Integrated Development Environment for Context-Aware User Interfaces

The emergence of mobile computing devices brings along the fact that users interact with computers in various environments. The user interface of a mobile system can be affected by environmental context. Several approaches succeed in providing architectures and frameworks to support the building and reuse of software components considering context information. Taking into account context inform...

Integrated Visual Information for Maritime Surveillance

Surveillance systems for the maritime domain are becoming more and more important. However, available technology still provides only a limited support to this kind of applications. In this book chapter, we describe a framework for intelligent surveillance in the maritime domain, designed for fusing information from heterogeneous sources. Electro-optical cameras are used as main sensors, in orde...
