in recent years, synthetic aperture radar (sar) images have played an important role in the detection and monitoring of ground targets because of their advantages such as independence from climatic conditions and sensitivity to the target geometry. the complexity of sar imaging sensors, especially in the conversion process from raw data to image, has made it difficult to interpret the behavior ...

Adaptive networks include a set of nodes with adaptation and learning abilities for modeling various types of self-organized and complex activities encountered in the real world. This paper presents the effect of heterogeneously distributed incremental LMS algorithm with ideal links on the quality of unknown parameter estimation. In heterogeneous adaptive networks, a fraction of the nodes, defi...

reliability analysis of rock slope stability has received considerable attention in the literature. it has been used as an effective tool to evaluate uncertainty so prevalent in variables. in this research the application of the jointly distributed random variables method for probabilistic analysis and reliability assessment of rock slope stability with plane sliding is investigated. in a recen...

In distributed simulation various simulation programs, or else components of a given simulation program, interact as elements of a simulation-oriented distributed computation. The High Level Architecture (HLA) is a standardization effort that provides a general framework for promoting interoperability and reusability in the simulation field. When applied to distributed simulation HLA shows some...

As new technologies become available we need to identify their potential for application. In some cases new technologies are developed in response to specific needs (demand led), in others the technologies are developed and suitable applications are then sought (technology led). In this talk, the potential for applying distributed simulation is discussed. Three modes of simulation practice are ...
