A new speckle reduction algorithm based on lattice filters for SAR imaging is presented. In the new method, the subband decomposition of the speckled image is performed using lattice filters. The noisy image is decomposed into subband images using high-pass and low-pass filters having lattice structure, then a threshold value is estimated according to noise variance in each subband and soft-thresholding is applied on the subband images. The despeckled image is obtained from the thresholded subband images using the inverse lattice filter. The proposed speckle reduction method is applied to RADARSAT/SAR images. The performance of the proposed method has also been compared with median filtering, and discrete and stationary wavelet transform based speckle reduction methods. Results show that the proposed method may be used efficiently for speckle noise reduction in SAR images.

Component-based development has become a recognized technique for building large scale distributed applications. Although the maturity of this technique, there appears to be quite a significant gap between (a) component systems that are rich in advanced features (e.g., component nesting, software connectors, versioning, dynamic architectures), but which have typically only poor or even no runtime support, and (b) component systems with a solid runtime support, but which typically possess only a limited set of the advanced features. In our opinion, this is mainly due to the difficulties that arise when trying to give proper semantics to the features and reify them in development tools and an runtime platform. In this paper, we describe the implementation of the runtime environment for the SOFA 2.0 component model. In particular, we focus on the runtime support of the advanced features mentioned above. The described issues and the solution are not specific only to SOFA 2.0, but they are general and applicable to any other component system aiming at addressing such features.

In this paper the development of Web GIS based decision support system for flood events is presented. To improve flood prediction we developed the decision support system for flood prediction and monitoring that integrates hydrological modelling and CARIS GIS. We present the methodology for data integration, floodplain delineation, and online map interfaces. Our Web-based GIS model can dynamically display observed and predicted flood extents for decision makers and the general public. The users can access Web-based GIS that models current flood events and displays satellite imagery and digital elevation model integrated with flood plain area. The system can show how the flooding prediction based on the output from hydrological modeling for the next 48 hours along the lower Saint John River Valley.

Several research efforts suggest that collaborative participatory simulations improve teaching and learning, increasing motivation inside the classroom. Currently, it has been mainly applied with students of primary and secondary educational levels, leaving higher level students aside. This paper presents a framework for implementing Participatory Simulations, where social interactions and motivational effects are the main facilitators. An instance of this framework was implemented for business school undergraduate students. Its implementation is simple, lightweight, fully based on pen-based, and designed to work with handhelds over an ad-hoc wireless network.

An attempt to connect finite automata theory with multi-agent systems is presented. The purpose is to obtain an accurate way to plan and control the robot activities within a multi-robot system. The proposed model is an adapted Moore machine, which is to be used with a contract net protocol agent coordination procedure. The considered architecture was tested in an educational flexible manufacturing system with two industrial robots.

Dynamic Parameter Identification is a useful tool for developing and evaluating robot control strategies. However, a multi degree of freedom robot arm has many parameters, and the process of determining them is challenging. Much research has been done in this area and experimental methods have been applied on several robot arms. To our knowledge, there is currently no set of inertial parameters, either by modelling or by estimation, available for the CRS A460/A465 arm, a popular laboratory table top robot. In this paper we review and compare a number of methods for dynamic parameter identification and for generating trajectories suitable for estimating the identifiable dynamic parameters of a given robot. We then present a step by step process for dynamic parameter identification of a serial manipulator, and demonstrate this process by experimentally identifying the dynamic parameters of the CRS A460 robot.
