The development of a data warehouse (DW) system is based on a conceptual multidimensional model, which provides a high level of abstraction in accurately and expressively describing real-world situations. Once this model is designed, the corresponding logical representation must be…

Social knowledge is one of the key aspects of MAS in order to face complex problems in dynamical environments. However, it is usually incorporated without specific support on behalf of the platform and that does not let agents take all…

Computing is a broad discipline that crosses the boundaries between mathematics, science, and engineering. New computing disciplines emerge over time and knowledge changes rapidly in computing. Therefore, several reports that define and update guidelines for computing curricula have appeared over…

In this paper we introduce a probabilistic approach to support visual supervision and gesture recognition. Task knowledge is both of geometric and visual nature and it is encoded in parametric eigenspaces. Learning processes for compute modal subspaces (eigenspaces) are the…

Este artigo constitui-se da análise do planejamento e do ordenamento territorial do turismo e das políticas públicas adotadas no Brasil com o foco no litoral do Paraná, observando o processo de regionalização do turismo e concentrando o estudo em Guaratuba…

Short survey carried out at the beginning of the course in order to elicit information about the students' background, future prospects and knowledge of ICT.

Geographic knowledge discovery (GKD) is the process of extracting information and knowledge from massive georeferenced databases. Usually the process is accomplished by two different systems, the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the data mining engines. However, the development of those…

This article focuses on learning physical activities on the sea and focuses on windsurfing. We highlight the construction of knowledge by students from the University of Alicante, studying the course called “Learning sea sports” in the natural setting of the…

Este trabajo está relacionado con el área de la Recuperación de Información Geográfica (Geographical Information Retrieval, GIR). En él se ha diseñado, desarrollado y evaluado un sistema de recuperación de información geográfica, aplicando para ello diferentes técnicas de Procesamiento del…

Virtual and remote laboratories(VRLs) are e-learning resources which enhance the accessibility of experimental setups providing a distance teaching framework which meets the student's hands-on learning needs. In addition, online collaborative communication represents a practical and a constructivist method to transmit…
