On the Problem of Finding the Geographic Data We Are Looking For
نویسنده
چکیده
Spatial data is one of the most critical elements underpinning decision making for many disciplines at the local, regional, and global levels. Consequently, the number and diversity of potential users of this kind of information have increased significantly over the last few years. Nowadays not only geographers, cartographers, and GIS scientists are interested in exploiting spatial data, but also governmental agencies, policy makers, ecologically oriented scientist, national defence agencies and even the general public are getting quickly into this new field. This has given rise to new demands for improved infrastructures that support discovery, access, and use of this information in the decision-making process. These infrastructures are given the name of “Spatial Data Infrastructures” [1].

Optimizing the Distribution of Dairy Products by Heuristic Algorithms and Geographic Information System: A Case Study of FARS PEGAH DAIRY COMPANY
The problem of the distribution of dairy products, which is classified as a combinatorial optimization problem, cannot be solved in polynomial time. In this paper, an algorithm based on Ant Colony Hybrid meta-heuristic system and Geographic Information System (GIS) was used to find a near-optimal solution to this problem. Using the former method, the nearest neighbor heuristic algorithm was use...
متن کاملFeasibility of detecting and localizing radioactive source using image processing and computational geometry algorithms
We consider the problem of finding the localization of radioactive source by using data from a digital camera. In other words, the camera could help us to detect the direction of radioactive rays radiation. Therefore, the outcome could be used to command a robot to move toward the true direction to achieve the source. The process of camera data is performed by using image processing and computa...

An appropriate solid waste disposal has been a major problem in municipal environment. The use of landfills is the most economical and environmentally acceptable method for the disposal of solid waste all over the world. The analysis of spatial data and consideration of regulation and accepted criteria are part of the important elements in the site selection. The aim of this paper is to show ho...
متن کاملCapacitated Single Allocation P-Hub Covering Problem in Multi-modal Network Using Tabu Search
The goals of hub location problems are finding the location of hub facilities and determining the allocation of non-hub nodes to these located hubs. In this work, we discuss the multi-modal single allocation capacitated p-hub covering problem over fully interconnected hub networks. Therefore, we provide a formulation to this end. The purpose of our model is to find the location of hubs and the ...
