Landslide Susceptibility In Tryon State Park, Oregon, Tracy E. Handrich Jun 2011

Landslide Susceptibility In Tryon State Park, Oregon, Tracy E. Handrich

LIDAR and topographic data were used to identify areas of high landslide susceptibility. An arctangent equation was used to calculate slope angle, design criteria of susceptibility and designate zones of high, moderate, and low risk.

Embedding Parallel Computation In A Stochastic Mesh Network: A Morphogenetic Approach, Max Orhai

Anthós

Many basic techniques in computer science have been founded on the assumption that physical computing resources are scarce but orderly, and that the cost of effective direct communication between physically distant parts of a computer system is affordable. In ubiquitous computing systems such as sensor networks, or in the design of nano-scale systems, these familiar assumptions may not hold.

What if we suppose instead that computing capacity is plentiful, but that only local communication is possible, and the exact structure of the communication network is not known in advance? This is the domain of spatial programming.

How can we program …
