Presentamos una estrategia para acelerar la simulación y visualización de mezclado advectivo--difusivo de un contaminante dentro de una cavidad cuadrada con condiciones de frontera dependientes del tiempo. No se requieren paredes móviles para mezclar el fluido sino la convección natural…

We can make very sensitive machines and may arrange for them to distinguish themselves from other objects. The programs that are designed toward specific goals, such as the identification of external objects, can also be imagined as action programs relating…

The concept of “approximate” searching has applications in a vast number of fields. Some examples are non-traditional databases (e. g. storing images, fingerprints or audio clips, where the concept of exact search is of no use and we search instead…

Knowledge-intensive processes are widely used to recover from errors, handle exceptional cases and complaints, and to improve or adapt a process itself. In this context, evolved Business-Process Reengineering (BPR) techniques are changing to give some answers to this reality. In…

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…

This document describes a research and development project - Semantic Web and Cooperative Problem Solving for Online Communities of Practice. The aim of the project is to build a system supporting Cooperative Problem Solving within the framework of online Communities…

This paper describes an approach to On Line Analytical Processing (OLAP), expresed in the declarative programming paradigm.
We define a collection of functions that capture some of the functionality currently provided by multidimensional database product. This is done by defining…

Ontologies serve as a mean to establish a conceptually concise basis for communicating knowledge for many purposes. Within the information integration area, ontologies are useful to solve heterogeneity problems. They provide a set of knowledge terms, including the vocabulary, the…

La obtención de conocimiento a partir de la información existente es un proceso no trivial que consiste en identificar patrones válidos, novedosos, potencialmente útiles y comprensibles a partir de los datos disponibles. La Minería de Datos es el área de…

Data integration is the process of unifying data sharing some common semantics but are originated from unrelated sources. In our work we consider these sources are autonomous, heterogeneous and they are physically distributed. These three characteristics make the integration task…
