in this paper, landscape allocation using genetic algorithm (laga), a spatial multi-objective land use optimization software is introduced. the software helps in searching for optimal land use when multiple objectives such as suitability, area, cohesion and edge density indices are simultaneously involved. laga is a flexible and easy to use genetic algorithm-based software for optimizing the sp...

In a real life environment, spatial data is highly skewed. In general, there are two kinds of skews in spatial data. One is the placement skew and the other is the area skew. This paper introduces methods and the complexity of estimating the result sizes of the multi-way join for the area skewed spatial data. Especially, this paper describes the number and sort of the statistics which the optim...

This paper presents multi-font/multi-size Kannada numerals and vowels recognition based on spatial features. Directional spatial features viz stroke density, stroke length and the number of stokes in an image are employed as potential features to characterize the printed Kannada numerals and vowels. Based on these features 1100 numerals and 1400 vowels are classified with Multi-class Support Ve...

Urban Dynamics modeling needs to implement spatial organization emergence in order to describe the development of services evolution and their usage within spatial centers. In this paper, we propose an extension of the nest building algorithm with multi-center, multi-criteria and adaptive processes. We combine a decentralized approach based on emergent clustering mixed with spatial constraints ...

We develop a model of multi-candidate electoral competition in a multi-dimensional policy space with strategic voters. We show that when the distribution of voter ideal points is log-concave, there exist pure-strategy subgame perfect equilibria in weakly undominated strategies in which platforms are located in the minmax set. Analytical and numerical results suggest that the size of the minmax ...

In this paper we consider a problem of spatial allocation of agents "Technicians" with multi competences, for maintenance of distributed equipment requiring multi skills tasks. The objective is to ensure optimal partitioning of resource allocation taking into account the multi competences constraints and resources displacement. The approach to the problem is performed using the techniques of ce...
