AbstractDue to aspect-oriented mechanisms explosion, their concepts arrive to distributed systems tackling concepts as security, persistence, or synchronization, especially in middleware approaches. Regarding distributed databases, the research has been focused mainly on object-oriented databases. Based on the great impact of…

This paper outlines the development of a power quality monitoring system. The system is aimed at assessing power quality and detecting critical areas throughout at distribution system. Such system integrates a hardware system and a software processing tool developed in…

Knowledge-intensive processes are widely used to recover from errors, handle exceptional cases and complaints, and to improve or adapt a process itself. In this context, evolved Business-Process Reengineering (BPR) techniques are changing to give some answers to this reality. In…

When stakeholders are geographically distributed communication presents new challenges for software engineering community. In order to improve communication between stakeholders, we have previously proposed to apply learning style models to characterise the way people interact. In this work we enhance…

En este trabajo hemos estudiado algunas paráfrasis contenidas en un recurso lingüístico llamado badele.3000, una base de datos que agrupa los 3.600 sustantivos más frecuentes del español, así como más de 2.800 verbos de uso habitual. Su combinación restringida da…

In omplete information is a problem in many aspe ts of a tual environments. Further- more, in many s enarios the knowledge is not represented in a risp way. It is ommon to nd fuzzy on epts or problems with…

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…

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…

This article describes strategies devised to improve the efficiency of two classical index data structures for parallel textual databases. The design and cost evaluation is effected on top of the bulk-synchronous model of parallel computing. This allows us to compare…

Data integration is the process of unifying data sharing some common semantics but are originated from unrelated sources. In our work we consider these sources are autonomous, heterogeneous and they are physically distributed. These three characteristics make the integration task…
