Said Nursi (1877-1960) was an advocate of a form of Islam strongly
committed to non-violence and constructive engagement with the West
and Christianity. He has six million followers - the Nursi
community - primarily in Turkey. Yet many in the USA and Europe are
not familiar with his important work; this book seeks to rectify
that gap. In Globalization, Ethics and Islam, Jewish, Christian and
Islamic scholars reflect upon the achievement of Said Nursi and
apply his thought to the complex issues of non-violence, dialogue
and globalization.

Currently, there are four Global Navigation Satellite Systems
(GNSS) either being developed or in existence-GPS, GLONASS,
Compass, and Galileo. Additionally, there are several Regional
Navigation Satellite Systems (RNSS) planned or in existence, as
well as numerous augmentation systems (which require a GNSS for
operation). It can be anticipated that there will be interest in
developing additional independent regional navigation satellite
systems to cover areas of interest to particular countries or
regions, who want to have their own system. In this paper, a
genetic algorithm is used in an e ort to determine near-optimal
RNSS constellations. First, a cost function is setup, which
involves a weighted combination of dilution of precision (DOP)
values and percentage availability for any number of receiver
locations on the ground (which themselves can be weighted). E
ectively, using this approach it is easy to quantify the quality of
coverage, in terms of measurement geometry, over a speci c region
of the earth. Next, a genetic algorithm is used in order to attempt
to converge to the lowest-cost constellation possible.
