The term Federated Databases refers to the data integration of distributed, autonomous and heterogeneous databases. However, a federation can also include information systems, not only databases. At integrating data, several issues must be addressed. Here, we focus on the problem…

Se comprobó el efecto antiulcerogénico del extracto crudo hidroalcólico (70%) de las hojas de Aster squamatus (ECH) frente a úlceras inducidas por etanol, indometacina y estrés
provocado por el frío. El ECH (500 y 1000mg/kg) redujo el índice de la…

The studies of Relational Data Base Management Systems and Databases constitute nowadays a main tren of investigation in large businesses and universities of the entire world. The creation of a data base engine keeps being a challenge since there are…

El objeto de este estudio fue el aislamiento y la caracterización de atranorina, uno de los principales constituyentes presentes en Cladina dendroides (des Abb.) y analizar su efecto antinociceptivo. La actividad antinociceptiva fue verificada por medio del ensayo en ratones…

The main objective of this paper centers on reviewing the evolution of Decision Support System´s (DSS) architectures, particularly as they apply to natural resources. Today it is difficult to conceive the existence of a rural planning automated system that doesn't…

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…

The Web has became an obiquitous resource for distributed computing making it relevant to investigate new ways of providing efficient access to services available at dedicated sites. Efficiency is an ever-increasing demand which can be only satisfied with the development…

Applying design patterns is considered a helpful technique for designing software systems.
Patterns description, however, results not sufficiently precise providing a weak understanding and making it difficult to be certain when a pattern is being used correctly. We have formally…

During recent years, new software engineering paradigms like component-based software engineering and COTS-based development have emerged. Both paradigms are concerned with reuse and customisation of existing components. The use of COTS software has become more and more important in state-of-the-art…

The development of languages allowing a proper handling of time is important in many areas of computer science because the capability to deal with the notions of change and time are essential to solve their problems.
In the development of…
