Next-generation interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) systems may provide the basis for establishing an earthquake-forecasting capability within a twenty-year time frame. Such systems would need to provide data with fine temporal resolution, so the system architecture would need to allow for wide-area coverage in order to minimize the effective interferometric repeat time. This paper...

Managing the infoglut in this information age requires more than the traditional and xed computing environment in order to keep up with fast changing technologie. Cellular and mobile communications ooer exibility in accessing and manipulating information without restricting users to speciic locations. While this technology is revolutionary in its approach to managing data, many issues remain to...

The shortening of product realization times and the increase of product complication require multidisciplinary experts to cooperate dynamically and closely in the whole product development lifecycle, behavior that has been previously unfamiliar. To further improve the design cooperation efficiency under this environment, this paper presents a novel cooperative design architecture using revoluti...

Istudy how a revolutionary vanguard might use violence to mobilize a mass public. The mechanism is informational—–the vanguard uses violence to manipulate population member’s beliefs about the level of antigovernment sentiment in society.
