A Java Based Human Computer Interface For A Uav Decision Support Tool Using Conformal Mapping, Randy A. Flood
A Java Based Human Computer Interface For A Uav Decision Support Tool Using Conformal Mapping, Randy A. Flood
Theses and Dissertations
This paper describes the development of the Human Computer Interface (HCI) for a Decision Support System for routing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). This problem is a multi-vehicle routing problem with time-windows. Because of the unique nature of UAVs, a tool is needed to support dynamic re-routing. We solve the problem in two ways. First, we create a UAV Decision Support Tool (UAV DST) that uses a set of Java software objects to display maps and convert between latitude-longitude coordinates and x-y coordinates. Secondly, this library provides the ability for the user to dynamically reoptimize large UAV routing problems through a …

A Structured Approach To Software Tool Integration, Penelope A. Noe
Theses and Dissertations
As the trend towards commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software continues, civilian companies and government agencies alike are battling with the challenge of making multiple software packages and applications work together. Many of these companies and agencies have attempted to integrate the software tools to form a coherent system that satisfies their goals, often without the use of a step by step approach guiding the effort. Many researchers in the field of software tool integration have determined the areas that need to be addressed when tools are integrated. Some researchers have developed and expanded upon a theoretical model for integration. This model …
