Multi-satellite imaging mission planning (MSIMP) has been difficult in various scenarios due to the complex constraints of multi-satellite imaging, wide area covered by target points, and difficulty achieving different requirements a short period time with limited satellite resources. In addressing this challenge, work investigates based on Unified Plan Model Improved Adaptive Differential Evol...

This paper presents an Ontology-Based multi-technology platform as part of an open energy management system which also comprises a wireless transducer network for control and monitoring. The platform allows the integration of several building automation protocols, eases the development and implementation of different kinds of services and allows sharing of the data of a building. The system has...

Leadership style as a key factor affects subordinates job satisfaction, which in turn is essential for success of each organization. These factors are pivotal for organizational effectiveness. The main purpose of this research was to examine the relationship between heads of departments‟ leadership styles and lecturers‟ job satisfaction at Malaysian Research Universities (RUs). It was conducted...

A new automated bench for irradiation, using a AmBe neutron source, has been installed in the neutronics hall at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM). In order to determine the neutron field features on the bench a neutron spectrometry, using the Bonner sphere spectrometer, campaign was carried out with the participation of four research teams. Each team used their own spectrometer with ...

The fact that pervasive systems are typically embedded and invisible makes it difficult for users to know when, where, and how these devices are collecting data. So privacy is a major issue for pervasive computing applications and several privacy models have been proposed for pervasive environments. In this paper we present a XML based User-centered Privacy Model (UPM) which provides content, i...

This paper presents an Ontology-Based multi-technology platform designed to avoid some issues of Building Automation Systems. The platform allows the integration of several building automation protocols, eases the development and implementation of different kinds of services and allows sharing information related to the infrastructure and facilities within a building. The system has been implem...
