Virtual and remote laboratories have improved
learning and training in the academic community. They allow students to acquire methods, skills and experience related to real equipment in an intuitive and cost-effective way. The purpose of this paper is to present…

This paper describes a set of tools and Java classes that allow the Lucene text search engine to use morphological information to index and search; in particular, it describes the use of the linguistic resources developed for the Apertium open-source…

This paper presents a free Java software platform which enables users to easily create advanced robotic applications together with image processing. This novel tool is composed of two layers: 1) Easy Java
Simulations (EJS), an open-source tool which provides support…

This paper presents a laboratory session of an advanced programming course to introduce students to the technology involved with the Java programming language. In this special lab session the educational software tool VisualJVM is used, providing a graphical front-end to…

This paper proposes a novel approach on embedding automatic parallelization in compilers. Due to an increasing popularity of multi-processor and multi-core architectures, software must take advantage of the processing power they offer and increase the level of parallelism as much…

The next generations of both biological engineering and computer engineering demand that control be exerted at the molecular level. Creating, characterizing and controlling synthetic biological systems may provide us with the ability to build cells that are capable of a…

Microsoft's .NET Framework, and JAVA platforms, are based in a just-in-time compilation philosophy. Software developed using these technologies is executed in a hardware independent framework, which provides a full object-oriented
environment, and in some cases allows the interaction
of several…

This paper describes the new features included in the Robolab 2 System, which permits the students to
work with a simulation of and industrial robot and carry out operations with the real robot through teleoperation.
Among these features, the flexibility…

In this paper a methodology for accesing scientific data repositories on data grids is proposed. This methodology is based on ontology specification and knowledge representation. The concept of Knowledge Perspective is introduced, as the action of applying particular scientific conjectures…

In the manufacturing industry out-sourcing/integration is becoming an important business pattern (not a clear statement-integration still done in house-component design and manufacturing outsourced). An engineering system often consists of many subsystems supplied by different companies. Bridge between thoughts is weak.…
