Numerical Taxonomy aims to group in clusters, using so-called structure analysis of operational taxonomic units (OTUs or taxons or taxa) through numerical methods.
These clusters constitute families. Structural analysis, based on their phenotypic characteristics, exhibits the relationships, in terms of…

The structured techniques for systems analysis and design are still the most widely known. One of the alternatives of this technique is the JAD methodology (Joint Application Design). This methodology is an improvement with respect to the existing ones -…

Este trabajo explora la división de atributos en grupos para poder
mejorar la desambiguación de acepciones (WSD) mediante la combinación de sistemas
entrenados en cada uno de estos grupos de atributos. Los resultados conseguidos
demuestran que sólo k-NN es capaz…

Most search methods in metric spaces assume that the topology of the object collection is reasonably regular. However, there exist nested metric spaces, where objects in the collection can be grouped into clusters or subspaces, in such a way that…

AWA es una arquitectura general para representar información
lingüística producida por procesadores lingüísticos. Nuestro objetivo es definir un
esquema de representación coherente y flexible que sea la base del intercambio de información entre herramientas lingüísticas de cualquier tipo. Los análisis…

This paper shows models of data description that incorporate uncertainty like models of data extension EER, IFO among others. These database modeling tools are compared with the pattern FuzzyEER proposed by us, which is an extension of the EER model…

The aim of this study is to understand the suffering of a patient with an illness, by using a secondary research method, that is, a qualitative meta-study. The primary data source of the meta-study includes “biographical reports”. This project is…

O objetivo da pesquisa foi identificar os fatores associados ao abandono do aleitamento materno (AM) e do aleitamento materno completo (AMC). Foram acompanhadas 248 mães que fizeram visita pós-parto. Os dados foram coletados mediante entrevista pessoal durante o primeiro mês…

The Standardization of a development process for systems of medium complexity, entirely supported by an integrated development environment, could mean a double contribution to the industry of systems development. On the one hand it would contribute to the reduction of…

The paper presents a case study illustrating a collaborative problem solving process in Virtual Communities of Practice. The process relies on the existence of an underlying shared knowledge base – a repository of resources, and is carried out collaboratively by…

There is a lot of information published on the Web that can be useful for decision-making.
The work reported in this paper focuses on how to extract and integrate this information in order to construct a Data Warehouse that makes…
