Complex control tasks may be solved by dividing them into a more specific and more easily handled subtasks hierarchy. Several authors have demonstrated that the incremental layered evolution paradigm allows obtaining controllers capable of solving this type of tasks.

Flow Accelerated Corrosion (FAC) is the most prevalent material degradation mechanism for low carbon steel in steam-water flow systems. The band of uncertainty in predictions of wear rate due to FAC spans one to two orders of magnitude. Such a…

Currently, people involved in protection against disaster situations must
make the decisions about preparing and executing evacuation plans for potential
causes of disaster. Hence, it would be desirable to develop a system capable
of obtaining and analyzing evacuation plans…

The FAA is developing the Local Area Augmentation System (LAAS) to replace ground-based navigation aids as the primary means of aircraft precision approaches. Stringent requirements on the integrity of the system have caused significant delays and raised questions about the…

"En zonas semiáridas del centro de México la sobreexplotación de pastizales ha ocasionado severa reducción de su productividad. Su fisonomía se caracteriza por espacios abiertos con presencia de costras biológicas del suelo. Aunque este tipo de paisaje es representativo de…

"En el Altiplano Potosino, la especie vegetal utilizada para la producción de mezcal es Agave salmiana. La industria mezcalera, que carece de sistemas de explotación basados en el conocimiento biológico de la especie que utiliza como materia prima, puede causar…

In the present paper I describe the conceptual level of representation of a database, currently in development, which aims at fulfilling the Functional-Lexematic model. I will concentrate on the semantic component, as it is central for the theory of Functional…
