Because of its independence of time of day and its all weather capability, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has become a key remote sensing technique in the last decades. In the past, spatial resolution of space borne SAR systems was rather coarse, so the exploitation of building signature and even the reconstruction of buildings in dense urban areas based on InSAR data was restricted to commerci...

Integrating dedicated applications with a wireless LAN and WAN infrastructure, the COSMOS system provides "Construction Site Mobile Operations Support". In this paper, we focus on the approach taken in COSMOS for bandwidth management across the bottleneck satellite WAN link, particularly for supporting video conferencing between company headquarters and construction sites. We discuss the IETF Q...

An integrated modeling and simulation tool called Componentbased System Modeler and Simulator (CoSMoS) is developed. It supports visual development of families of models that have well-defined logical specifications. The logical componentbased models persist in relational databases and may be automatically translated into specific target simulation and markup programming languages. The underlyi...

The ‘Cosmos’ model and its application is a dynamic event distribution system, which generates and organizes sonic entities evolving on multiple time scales. Inspired by the stochastic event generation models that were developed by Iannis Xenakis, the Cosmos model proposes additional important aspects such as the self-similarity in the structure and emergent behaviour in the resulting sonic evo...

CoSMoS is a defined approach for designing, building, and arguing fit for purpose, a scientifically rigorous simulation of a complex real world system. The ODD (Overview, Design concepts, Details) protocol is a standardised way of describing simulation models, defined to support reproducibility. This paper demonstrates that use of the CoSMoS approach to build a simulation supports the presentat...

Big Bang is the widely accepted model of the beginning of our cosmos some 13.7 billion years ago from a single point source into its present-day expansion which is continuing at an unexplained accelerating rate. All known physical processes in our universe are governed by the laws of thermodynamics, except for the moment of creation which defies the conservation of energy even though the cosmos...

We present Spitzer 70 and 160 μm observations of the COSMOS Spitzer survey (S-COSMOS). The data processing techniques are discussed for the publicly released products consisting of images and source catalogs. We present accurate 70 and 160 μm source counts of the COSMOS field and find reasonable agreement with measurements in other fields and with model predictions. The previously reported coun...

The use of COSMO-SkyMed data in the SAR interferometric techniques opens up new possibilities both for the monitoring of the surface deformation phenomena and the 3D measurements of the territory thanks to their height resolution. GEOCART engineering company has developed an own software called “SLIDE” [1,2,3] (Sar Land Interferometry Data Exploitation) to process ERS SAR data in order to produ...
