We describe the design, implementation and deployment of the multi-level agent-based system architecture developed for the SEWASIE project. The aim of the system is to help the user in querying heterogeneous data sources which are integrated by means of ontologies.…

Most information in science, engineering and business has been recorded in form of text. This information can be found online in the World-Wide-Web. One of the major tools to support information access are the search engines which usually use information…

A Federated System is a collection of independent, cooperative, possibly heterogeneous and autonomous computer systems (usually database systems) which allows sharing all or some of its data. A Service-Oriented Architecture is an application architecture whose functionalities are defined as independent…

Since huge amounts of spatial data can be easily collected from various applications, ranging from remote sensing technology to geographical information system, the extraction and comprehension of spatial knowledge is a more and more important task. Many excellent studies on…

Rinovirus y Enterovirus (polio, coxsackie, echovirus) son los dos tipos de picornavirus responsables del alto número de infecciones virales en humanos como el resfrío (o la gripe). Datos de Relación Estructura Actividad sobre antivirales indica que los heterociclos nitrogenados están…

El objetivo de este trabajo fue el de analizar el contenido de cafeína y ácido 5-cafeoilquínico (5-cqa) en bebidas tales como chimarrão, tererê y maté té. La determinación de estos compuestos se realizó por HPLC. Las bebidas a base de…

Vertical partitioning, in which attributes of a relation are
assigned to partitions, is aimed at improving database
performance. We extend previous research that is based on
a single relation to multi-relation database environment,
by including referential integrity constraints, access time

Este informe describe los resultados de un estudio in vitro en el que fueron evaluados comprimidos de nevirapina (200 mg) de diferentes laboratorios brasileros. El producto roiginal fue la refencia, en comparación con cinco productos similares (A, B, C, D…

This paper is an attempt to define how a
specific data structure might be used to
store, in a persistent manner, temporal
information during a computer simulation.
In particular, it considers the sort of
temporal information generated during a
discrete…

Similarity search is a fundamental operation for applications that deal with unstructured data sources. In this paper we propose a new pivot-based method for similarity search, called Sparse Spatial Selection (SSS).
The main characteristic of this method is that it…
