En este artículo se presentan datos experimentales de resistencia a flexión y a compresión de morteros de cemento Portland con adición y sustitución de breas de petróleo y de alquitrán de carbón, que son subproductos de la industria del carbón…

Time and change are notions that seems unavoidable in some areas of work and investigation, languages that can deal with these notions are necessary. At the same time, methods for a proper time handling are quite complex, mainly because problem’s…

Clustering of short texts is an important research area because of its applicability in information retrieval and text mining. To this end was proposed CLUDIPSO, a discrete Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm to cluster short texts. Initial results showed that CLUDIPSO…

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…

One of the main concerns is the nature of the missing values. Let’s consider extremes for simplicity. If missing at random we have not to care about. But if missing shows structures that covariate with substantive variables we have to…

The evaluation of metric of performance is useful in the evaluation of protocols, in the improvement of applications, in the content choice, among others. The obtaining of these metrics, it continues being a complex task because most of the time…

La información extraída de especimenes biológicos es inherentemente tridimensional. Los datos tridimensionales (3D) permiten un mejor entendimiento de las estructuras y los eventos biológicos, comparados con sus proyecciones bidimensionales (2D), aunque a veces son más difíciles de manejar. Esto explica…

Ontology mapping involves the task of finding similarities among overlapping sources by using ontologies. In a Federated System in which distributed, autonomous and heterogeneous information sources must be integrated, ontologies have emerged as tools to solve semantic heterogeneity problems. In…

The appearance and continuous growth of virtual communities on the web imposes the challenge of coping with the large amount of information and knowledge these communities produce. The Semantic Web with its set of standards and technologies provides the basic…

We present point slicing, a new slicing technique for imperative programs that gives an answer to the question Which sentences can be executed if sentence p is executed?, very common in program testing, debugging, and understanding tasks and, as far…
