The authors discuss the differences of envi~onmeats whexe dialogue translation and textual translation systems might be used. The differences are summarized as clear definition of information and active participations of speakers and hearers in dialogue t~anslation. A new approach to MT, interpretation based approach, is proposed to take the advantages of dialogue translation environments. The ...

Among these variables, soil moisture (SM) is one of the most requested ones [1]. This envi‐ ronmental variable is considered important to many ecological processes that occur on Earth's surface, from its relationship to climate events to its importance in terms of water availability for agricultural crops. In fact, it is considered an essential climate variable domain for the Global Earth Obser...

The university campus is an interesting application environment for the ubiquitous computing paradigm: a large number of users share a substantial amount of their information needs and much of this information is directly related to physical objects, places, and people that are situated in the campus environment. We motivate the need for material entry points into a virtual campus that increase...

The study involves segmentation of the image using the three segmentation modules of three software namely ERDAS Imagine, ENVI and eCognition to extract building features. The best parameters for segmenting buildings have been established. New method of evaluation has been presented for evaluating segmentation quality. The results of three segmentation modules are assessed using the proposed ev...

Is GIS a tool or a science? The question is clearly important in the day-to-day operations of geography departments. Departments need to know if GIS is a tool that should be taught at the undergraduate level, or a science and thus a legitimate research specialty of faculty and graduate students. We summarize the debate on this question that was conducted on GIS-L electronic listserver in late 1...

This paper presents a methodology to develop synchronization code based on the global invariant (GI) approach in the context of the Uniied Process in UML. This approach has the following advantages: (1) it is a formal approach that enables formal veriication of programs being developed, (2) the most important activity in the programming process lies at a high level; namely, speciication of GIs,...
