We describe the design, implementation and deployment of the multi-level agent-based system architecture developed for the SEWASIE project. The aim of the system is to help the user in querying heterogeneous data sources which are integrated by means of ontologies.…

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…

El objetivo de este trabajo fue el de analizar el contenido de cafeína y ácido 5-cafeoilquínico (5-cqa) en bebidas tales como chimarrão, tererê y maté té. La determinación de estos compuestos se realizó por HPLC. Las bebidas a base de…

Vertical partitioning, in which attributes of a relation are
assigned to partitions, is aimed at improving database
performance. We extend previous research that is based on
a single relation to multi-relation database environment,
by including referential integrity constraints, access time

This paper is an attempt to define how a
specific data structure might be used to
store, in a persistent manner, temporal
information during a computer simulation.
In particular, it considers the sort of
temporal information generated during a
discrete…

Similarity search is a fundamental operation for applications that deal with unstructured data sources. In this paper we propose a new pivot-based method for similarity search, called Sparse Spatial Selection (SSS).
The main characteristic of this method is that it…

The metric spaces model formalizes the similarity search concept in nontraditional databases. The goal is to build an index designed to save distance computations when answering similarity queries later. A large class of algorithms to build the index are based…

Se realizó el estudio termoanalítico del atenolol puro y de comprimidos comerciales utilizando técnicas de termogravimetría (TG) y calorimetría diferencial de barrido (DSC). El método no isotérmico fue empleado para determinar los datos cinéticos del proceso de descomposición. Para evaluar…

In situ hybridization (ISH) method allows to reveal specific genes expression, identify specific cell types and detect areas or tissues, displaying differential gene expression. This work describes a standardized procedure of digital image processing that allows detailed analyses of ISH…

En este artículo revisamos algunos resultados de experimentos realizados
con técnicas de Active Learning para establecer las bases del diseño de un sistema
de anotación de corpus. A partir de los datos experimentales diseñamos un sistema
modular que posibilita un…
