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…

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…

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…

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…

Ensuring the correctness of a given software component has become a crucial aspect in Software Engineering and the Model Checking technique provides a fully automated way to achieve this goal. In particular, the usage of Model Checking in formal languages…

Electronic Government applications aim to deliver efficient, seamless, customer-focused services to the public using various distribution channels. One of challenges in building such applications is the requirement to rely upon preexisting, often heterogeneous government applications. In order to enable communication…

The software architecture role in agile methodologies is not sufficiently documented or formalized by means of a process consistent with the philosophy. The current work’s contributions are: 1) Defining guidelines to implement architecture practices in an agile way and so…

Data base management evolved during the sixties and seventies. The evolution period was protracted. Many driving forces impacted the evolution and it is the aim of this paper to analyze these driving forces (some technical and some political) and to…
