Hybrid dynamic spatial approximation trees are recently proposed data structures for searching in metric spaces, based on combining the concepts of spatial approximation and pivot based algorithms. These data structures are hybrid schemes, with the full features of dynamic spatial…

El uso activo de los sistemas de información proporciona acceso fácil y más rápido a los datos. Ayuda, además, a proporcionar servicios de mejor calidad a los usuarios en muchos campos. En este estudio, el papel de los sistemas de…

The main purpose of this book is to present the contents of an introductory course in databases. In this regard, one can find a number of material validity and recognized different scopes. This work is developed under the guidelines that…

This work describes two media converter prototypes for transmitting 10Mb/s & 100Mb/s Ethernet data over large core (1mm) Step-Index Polymer Optical Fiber (SI-POF). In terms of reach, both prototypes greatly outperform previously published results and current commercial media converters based…

When stakeholders are geographically distributed communication presents new challenges for software engineering community. In order to improve communication between stakeholders, we have previously proposed to apply learning style models to characterise the way people interact. In this work we enhance…

Applying design patterns is considered a helpful technique for designing software systems.
Patterns description, however, results not sufficiently precise providing a weak understanding and making it difficult to be certain when a pattern is being used correctly. We have formally…

Software tools processing partially common set of data should share an understanding of what these data mean. Since ontologies have been used to express formally a shared understanding of information, we argue that they can be used to improve integration…

El presente artículo describe un sistema de adquisición de datos para un medidor de deformación. Se presenta el análisis del diseño de la circuitería y la programación, los resultados obtenidos y finalmente algunas conclusiones.

The term “Federated Databases” refers to the data integration of distributed, autonomous and heterogeneous databases. However, a federation can also include information systems, not only databases. When integrating data, several issues must be addressed. Here, we focus on the problem…

Product-line architectures, i.e. a software architecture and component set shared by a family of products, represents a promising approach to achieving reuse of software. Several companies are initiating or have recently adopted a product-line architecture. However, little experience is available…
