Web engineering software development is facing continuous changes in technology implementation. This involves analysts, developers and designers to provide extra effort in the design and maintenance of Web applications in order to adapt them to changes in requirements and implementation…

Recently, existing design methodologies targeting traditional Web applications have been extended for Rich Internet Application modeling support. These extended methodologies currently cover the traditionally well-established design concerns, i.e. data and navigation design, and provide additional focus on user interaction and…

Este artículo se propone sintetizar las principales ideas de las ponencias presentadas en la Mesa de Trabajo “Los problemas de las Gimnasias” que se desarrolló en el marco del 9° Congreso Argentino y 4° Latinoamericano de Educación Física y Ciencias…

Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho é entender como a influência estrangeira permeia os programas de pós-graduação em administração nas universidades públicas brasileiras. De natureza exploratória, utilizou a Constant Comparative Method (Grounded Theory) e metodologia qualitativa para realizar e analisar uma…

MACSimJX provides the means for advanced modelling and development of multiagent driven control systems. This is achieved by drawing together two modelling tools used extensively in their respective communities. These are Simulink, a tool used for control systems development and…

The ability of building robust semantic space representations of environments is crucial for the development of truly autonomous robots. This task, inherently connected with cognition, is traditionally achieved by training the robot with a supervised learning phase. We argue that…

Web design methodologies should be able to provide a requirements analysis stage to consider the large and heterogeneous audience of Web applications. In this stage, non-functional requirements (NFRs) should be addressed in order to improve the quality of the Web…

Background: Intra-urban inequalities in mortality have been infrequently analysed in European contexts. The aim of the present study was to analyse patterns of cancer mortality and their relationship with socioeconomic deprivation in small areas in 11 Spanish cities. Methods: It…

In the last few years, several studies have emphasized the use of ontologies as an alternative to organization of the information.
The notion of ontology has become popular in fields such as intelligent information integration, information retrieval on the Internet,…

In this text a look at the research is presented as to the importance of the edaphic-environmental knowledge and monitoring of the soil-water management and natural resources conservtion practices, seeking to the water recharge. Furthermore, this chapter contains preliminary results…
