چکیده

The knowledge of spatial arrangements of objects is an important component for the design of migratable user interfaces that target pervasive environments. Objects in these environments are often moving around individually, which leads to a highly dynamic and unpredictable environment. Due to its nature, spatial information cannot be described exhaustively, and uncertainty and imprecision need to be taken into account during both the design phase and at runtime. We present an approach to model dynamic spatial information, providing it with the ability to interpret to some extent uncertain and imprecise knowledge. We then integrate this type of spatial-awareness into ReWiRe, a framework for designing interactive pervasive environments, in order to improve its user-interface distribution techniques.

مدل‌سازی روابط توپولوژیک سه بعدی فازی در محیط GIS

Nowadays, geospatial information systems (GIS) are widely used to solve different spatial problems based on various types of fundamental data: spatial, temporal, attribute and topological relations. Topological relations are the most important part of GIS which distinguish it from the other kinds of information technologies. One of the important mechanisms for representing topological relations...

A decidable weakening of Compass Logic based on cone-shaped cardinal directions

We introduce a modal logic, called Cone Logic, whose formulas describe properties of points in the plane and spatial relationships between them. Points are labelled by proposition letters and spatial relations are induced by the four cone-shaped cardinal directions. Cone Logic can be seen as a weakening of Venema’s Compass Logic. We prove that, unlike Compass Logic and other projection-based sp...

The Analysis of Spatial Relationships in Village Houses Based on a Social Approach (Case Study: Village Koopar)

Different factors affect the formation of rural house spaces that are generally associated with environmental factors such as climate and geographical characteristics along with human factors such as cultural and social factors. One of the most important of them is the cultural-social factors that makes it possible to reach a spatial understanding and the concepts which are presented in the arc...

Long-term spatial and temporal variability of ambient carbon monoxide in Urmia, Iran

One of the pillars of epidemiologic research on the long-term health effects of air pollution is to estimate the chronic exposures over space and time. In this study, we aimed to measure the intra-urban ambient carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations within Urmia city in Iran, and to build a model within the geographic information system (GIS) to estimate the annual and seasonal means anywhere with...
