Previous work in software product lines showed an increment of up to 10 times in productivity and product quality [SEI Prod_Line]; because of this, the software product line approach is critical for the success of a development project including a…

This study investigates an approach of knowledge discovery and data mining in insufficient databases. An application of Computational Taxonomy analysis demonstrates that the approach is effective in such a data mining process. The approach is characterized by the use of…

Descoberta de Conhecimento em Bases de Dados" ("Knowledge Discovery in Databases", KDD) é um processo composto de várias fases iniciando com a coleta de dados para o problema e finalizando com a avaliação dos resultados finais. Este trabalho objetiva mostrar…

DLP is a basic java-based IDE specifically conceived for DeLP, that allows to compile DeLP programs and queries into JAM opcodes, execute those opcodes, and even witness the actual step by step construction of the dialectical tree that is built…

En esta comunicación se presenta un panorama de la robótica en las empresas integradas a diferentes niveles de producción. Si bien el proceso de robotización de las empresas es creciente, no se llega aún a valores deseados. Es por ello…

IP Networks, and particularly the Internet, were proposed to be a simple and robust support for heterogeneous communications. This implies that only basic controls have to be done by network elements. Connection management, along with transport, and more generally communication…

El desarrollo alcanzado en los últimos años por las Tecnologías de Información y Comunicaciones (TICs) ha creado condiciones materiales y técnicas necesarias para una nueva revolución en el campo educativo. Asociado a estos cambios, el aprendizaje electrónico a través de…

It is commonly acknowledged that we need to accept and handle uncertainty when reasoning with real world data. The most profoundly studied measure of uncertainty is the probability. However, the general feeling is that probability cannot express all types of…

Intelligent computing systems comprising microprocessor cores, memory and reconfigurable user-programmable logic represent a promising technology which is well-suited for applications such as digital signal and image processing, cryptography and encryption, etc. These applications employ frequently recursive algorithms which are particularly…
