Our research project intends to build knowledge about HPC problems to be able to help local researchers. In the general case, researchers who consult us do not own the sources to the parallel programs they run. In order to advise…

During the second semester of 1997 the project "Utilización de pronósticos climáticos para actividades agrícolas en Tlaxcala" was instrumented with the purpose of aiding decision making in agricultural activities in the estate of Tlaxcala, México. The main objective of the…

Data mining is at the core of the knowledge discovery process. However, an initial preprocessing step is crucial for assuring reliable results within this process. Preprocessing of data is a time-consuming and non-trivial task since data quality issues should be…

This dissertation presents a model of the knowledge a person has about the spatial structure of a large-scale environment: the "cognitive map". The functions of the cognitive map are to assimilate new information about the environment, to represent the current…

A re-design process implies dealing with complex interactions between stakeholders, especially if we are talking about a personalization re-engineered process, which can be applied to an existing web application. In this context, knowledge becomes a main factor of influence, but…

This report investigates some techinques appropriate to representing the knowledge necessary for understanding a class of electronic machines -- radio receivers. A computational performance model - WATSON - is presented. WATSONs task is to isolate failures in radio receivers whose…

This thesis is focused on temporal information processing, which is a task framed in the field of natural language processing. The aim of this task is to obtain the temporal location and ordering of the events expressed in text or…

The rapid advancement in Information and Communication Technology is driving a revolutionary change in the way organizations do business. The fast growing capabilities of both generating and collecting data has generated an imperative need for new techniques and tools that can…

In these days most robotic systems tend to be complex to maintain and reuse because existing frameworks are based mainly on code-driven approaches. This means the software development process is reduced to the implementation of systems using specific programming languages.…

This study attempts to conceptualise the right to forget/be forgotten along with building a theoretical foundation of this individual’s right and validating the social importance of establishing the right, which is characterised as a nearly fundamental human right to protect…
