Joshua A. Lewis, Max J. Egenhofer. Oriented Regions for Linearly Conceptualized Features. Geographic Information Science, Lecture Notes in Computer Science Volume 8728, 2014, pp 333-348. Abstract: The typical phenomena in geographic space are 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional in nature, yet people often conceptualize some of them as 1-dimensional entities embedded in a 2-dimensional space—rivers have widths and depths, and […]

Mark Royer, Sudarshan S. Chawathe, Andrei V. Kurbatov, Paul A. Mayewski. A Java library for dynamically loading and executing remote Octave functions. Borns Symposium, April 2014. Abstract: We describe a technique for loading and executing Octave functions remotely from a Java application. There are many scientific re-sampling techniques developed for Octave, and new functions are constantly being […]

George Markowsky, In Praise of Small Data, International Workshop on Big Data Analytics for Predictive Organization and Big Transformations Stanford, CA, USA, May 27, 2014 (in press) Abstract: Big Data tools can give “explanations” of complex and elaborate data sets. There is the danger that we might be content with the explanations that these tools produce. It is […]

J. L. Fastook and J. W. Head. Concentric crater fill: Rates of glacial accumulation, infilling and deglaciation in the amazonian and noachian of mars. Lunar and Planetary Science XXXXV, #1227, 2014. Introduction: Concentric Crater Fill (CCF) [1-6] is one of many features on Mars that are thought to either contain ice, or to have been formed by […]

J. L. Fastook and J. W. Head. Late noachian icy highlands: Patterns of ice accumulation and flow. Lunar and Planetary Science XXXXV, #1115, 2014. Introduction: The record of non-polar ice deposits throughout the Amazonian suggest a cold and dry climate not significantly different from the present climate observed on Mars [1], where latitudinal movement of ice is […]
