Nowadays, data intensive applications are in constant demand and there is need of computing environments with better intelligent capabilities than those present in today's Database Management Systems (DBMS). To build such systems we need formalisms that can perform complicate inferences,…

Este trabajo investiga el problema de la deserción y graduación de los estudiantes universitarios. Se utilizan modelos de riesgo proporcional no paramétricos para estimar los efectos cualitativos y cuantitativos de factores personales y características socioeconómicas de los alumnos sobre las…

An Electronic Government Procurement (e-GP) project, as most of complex software systems development and implantation, requires sophisticated and strong managerial concepts and skills. So, an effective and consistent managerial framework is needed.
Traditional project management models, that propose a series…

This work presents a methodology with basic steps to follow before developing Interorganizational Information Systems (IOSs), which constitute the support for the execution of business processes (BPs) in new structural forms made up of various organizations, called Interorganizational Networks (IONs).…

Este trabajo discute la aplicación de diferentes técnicas para determinar las propiedades estacionales de datos trimestrales. En particular, enfocamos el test de Hylleberg et al. y los estadísticos propuestos por Canova y Hansen y los aplicamos a una serie microeconómica.…

Este trabajo documenta el impacto de las recientes crisis en Argentina sobre diferentes aspectos de la pobreza, con particular atención en la crisis económica de 2002. Discutimos la metodología de medición de pobreza en Argentina y utilizamos una regla simple…

Software tools processing partially common set of data should share an understanding of what these data mean. Since ontologies have been used to express formally a shared understanding of information, we argue that they can be used to improve integration…

A Federated System is a collection of independent, cooperative, possibly heterogeneous and autonomous computer systems (usually database systems) which allows sharing all or some of its data. A Service-oriented Architecture is an application architecture whose functionalities are defined as independent…

This paper presents a data structure based on Sparse Spatial Selection (SSS) for similarity searching. An algorithm that tries periodically to adjust pivots to the use of database index is presented. This index is dynamic. In this way, it is…

Although researchers noted the importance of effective communication among stakeholders, it continues to be a challenge for requirements engineering. Communication can be considered as a management tool since communication allows organisation’s personnel to produce a cohesive enterprise view. In this…
