This paper focuses on prediction and prevention of seismic risk through a system for decision making.
Data Warehousing and OLAP operations are applied, together with, data mining tools like association rules, decision trees and clustering to predict aspects such as…

In this work we present a discrete event model to design and implement a real time system simulator. This kind of software is useful to verify and evaluate algorithms and models, and to compute performance metrics. The discrete event model…

James Reinders (Chief Evangelist of Intel® Software at Intel) and Jim Jeffers (Principal Engineer at Intel)
have gathered in this book the working knowledge of the people involved to prototype and productize the Intel® Xeon Phi coprocessor. This include…

This paper presents a parallel architecture for a radial basis function (RBF) neural network used for pattern recognition. This architecture allows defining sub-networks which can be activated sequentially. It can be used as a fruitful classification mechanism in many application…

In the first paragraph of the Introduction of the book the authors say "The definition of computer architecture has generated many discussions since the emergence of what could be considered the first computer in 1943, the ENIAC". Later they add…

Statistical testing with Markov Chain Usage Models is an effective method to be used by programmers and testers during web sites development, to guarantee the software reliability. The JUMBL software works on this models; it supports model construction with the…

This book presents the authors' updated view on the most relevant topics of distributed systems. This second edition shares most of the contents with the previous one in terms of contents/chapters, but many of the chapters have been updated and…

In this paper, a trajectory tracking control for a nonholonomic mobile robot subjected to uncertainties and disturbances in the kinematic model is proposed. An adaptive variable structure controller based on the sliding mode theory is used, and applied to compensate…

Data compression offers an attractive approach to reducing communication cost by using available bandwidth effectively. It also secures data during transmission for its encoded form. In this paper an index based position oriented lossless text compression called PIPC ( Position…
