Based on the need to update the language and tools used to teach Procedural Programming during the first year of computer science careers, a cross descriptive research was conducted by assessing different programming languages.
The analysis involved a total of…

Data sharing and especially enabling third parties to build new services using large amounts of shared data is clearly a trend for the future and a main driver for innovation. However, sharing data is a challenging and involved process today:…

The present thesis describes a Requirements Engineering strategy, called SDRES (Scenario Driven Requirements Engineering Strategy), which proposes to face topics rarely treated in real practice, such as continuous changes in requirements, software defects originated during requirements production, the organisational context…

La Universidad Nacional de La Plata tiene como objetivo prioritario la difusión de todo el conocimiento generado en la institución, a fin de devolver a la sociedad parte del esfuerzo invertido en la Universidad pública. Para alcanzar este objetivo se…

In 21st century, convergences of technologies and services in heterogeneous environment have contributed multi-traffic. This scenario will affect computer network on learning system in higher educational Institutes. Implementation of various services can produce different types of content and quality. Higher…

Professor Arnold Kaufmann did propose
at least two types of indexes for estimating fuzziness in
finite standard fuzzy sets. First one has an analogue
formulation to that stated by Claude Shannon for
measuring uncertainty in a given system. Shannon
formulation…

This paper addresses the problem of contour line extraction from scanned topographic maps in poor condition. A novel method is developed, using knowledge of cartography and graphics to extract contours by removing other layers which overlay the contours, and reconstructing…

This paper introduces the conceptual design of a new information technology integrating wireless telephony and Internet services to assist in locating lost or displaced people in a moment of crisis. This public safety service is based on a novel text…

Current performance prediction analytical models try to characterize the performance behavior of actual machines through a small set of parameters. Due to different factors, the predicted times suffer substantial deviations. A natural approach is to associate a different proportionality constant…

The performance of two selection mechanisms used in the most popular variant of differential evolution, known as DE/rand/1/bin, are compared in the solution of constrained numerical optimization problems. Four performance measures proposed in the specialized literature are used to analyze…
