Roads are important objects for many applications of topographic data such as car navigation systems. They are often acquired manually and as this entails significant effort, automation is desirable. Deficits in automation, particularly linked to human interaction have led to the formation of this EuroSDR working group on the automated extraction, refinement, and update of road databases from imagery and other data. In the introductory ...

The study task was aimed to produce an overview of selected qualitative indicators with fragmentary data available through COST Action E30 phase one country reports (Jagér 2005). A preliminary set of first and second class of indicators to help the comparison and classification of non-timber forest products and services is suggested with some empirical testing in 14 respectively 17 European countries.

There are numerous methodical approaches to model, numerically analyses or/and simulate single systems’ behavior. However, modeling interdependencies between different systems (so called system-of-systems) and to describe their complex behav-ior, necessarily by simulation, is still an unresolved issue. The present report contains the results of a first-of-its-kind literature review of modeling and simulation techniques which has identified ...
