As a contribution to consider software projects to be risk investments, it is important the full standardization of either the planning methodology (as a subset of project management methodology) and the effort estimation method. We think there is important and…

En los últimos años se ha elevado el número de personas que quieren aprender español como segunda lengua/lengua extranjera. Porello, es importante estudiar las dificultades que tienen que afrontar los estudiantes no nativos de español al momento de involucrarse en…

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…

Vertical partitioning, in which attributes of a relation are
assigned to partitions, is aimed at improving database
performance. We extend previous research that is based on
a single relation to multi-relation database environment,
by including referential integrity constraints, access time

This paper is an attempt to define how a
specific data structure might be used to
store, in a persistent manner, temporal
information during a computer simulation.
In particular, it considers the sort of
temporal information generated during a
discrete…

Este artículo reporta el trabajo de investigación realizado en base a datos extraídos de la Encuesta Anual realizada por la CESSI durante el año 2007 entre organizaciones dedicadas al desarrollo de Software en Argentina. Si bien la temática de mejora…

Similarity search is a fundamental operation for applications that deal with unstructured data sources. In this paper we propose a new pivot-based method for similarity search, called Sparse Spatial Selection (SSS).
The main characteristic of this method is that it…

The metric spaces model formalizes the similarity search concept in nontraditional databases. The goal is to build an index designed to save distance computations when answering similarity queries later. A large class of algorithms to build the index are based…

The Semantic Web attempts to reach a state in the future where everything on the Web will no longer be only machine-readable, but also machine-understandable. An ontology is an explicit specification of a conceptualization. A conceptualization is an abstract, simplified…
