The genetic algorithms have seen applied in knowledge discovery and specially for discovering association rules. In this paper, we explore the use of di erent rule quality measures in the tness function in a genetic algorithm for discovering association rules.…

This paper presents a data structure based on Sparse Spatial Selection (SSS) for similarity searching. An algorithm that tries periodically to adjust pivots to the use of database index is presented. This index is dynamic. In this way, it is…

Faunistic data of 64 species of Phygadeuontini from Bulgaria are reported. Of them, 27 species are new records for Bulgarian fauna. Zoogeographical considerations about all listed species are given., En el presente artículo se ofrecen nuevos datos faunísticos sobre 64…

In this position paper, the main steps to measure and evaluate quantitatively the quality of sites are shown. Besides, some specific models, criteria and procedures to apply in these activities are discussed by quoting case studies already performed (e.g., in…

With the growing complexity of window based software and the use of object-oriented, the development of software is getting more complex than ever. Based on that, this article intends to present a methodology for software documentation and to analyze our…

Software engineering has entered a new era, the Internet and its associated technologies require a different conceptual framework for building and understanding software solutions.
Users ask to develop applications more rapidly, and software engineers need to ensamble systems from preexisting…

It is commonly said that a pattern has four essential parts: a statement of the context where the pattern is useful, the problem that the pattern addresses, the forces that play in forming a solution, and the solution that resolves…

Numerical Taxonomy aims to group in clusters, using so-called structure analysis of operational taxonomic units (OTUs or taxons or taxa) through numerical methods.
These clusters constitute families. Structural analysis, based on their phenotypic characteristics, exhibits the relationships, in terms of…

The paper presents a case study illustrating a collaborative problem solving process in Virtual Communities of Practice. The process relies on the existence of an underlying shared knowledge base – a repository of resources, and is carried out collaboratively by…

At present the business processes have temporary requirements within their specifications. Logistics, e-commerce, are examples of these, among others. The time involved in business processes is important regarding the interaction of the actors. The sound of the technology involved in…
