This paper addresses the problem of contour line extraction from scanned topographic maps in poor condition. A novel method is developed, using knowledge of cartography and graphics to extract contours by removing other layers which overlay the contours, and reconstructing…

The performance of two selection mechanisms used in the most popular variant of differential evolution, known as DE/rand/1/bin, are compared in the solution of constrained numerical optimization problems. Four performance measures proposed in the specialized literature are used to analyze…

The very beginning of the research on Smart Adaptive Web Systems (SAWS). They are systems that adapt their response based on the context in which they are used. In AWS, three main sources of information have been identified are: user,…

There s some very important meaning in the study of realtime face recognition and tracking system for the video monitoring and artifical vision. The current method is still very susceptible to the illumination condition, non-real time and very common to…

An accurate procedure for evaluating the strong correlation and conflicting goals of coverage, capacity and Quality of Service (QoS) is required for efficient planning of 3G radio networks. In this paper, we explore and implement an agent-based simulation methodology which…

Presentation of a web collection platform designed to relate and unify information available on different standard web sources with a view to creating a userbrowseable thematic repository. The platform will be used at the Intellectual Creation Diffusion Service combined with…

A valid Calderbank-Shor-Steane (CSS) error correction code requires two classical linear codes for the preparation of the initial state (codewords). This code allow to correct for certain errors caused by an unwanted interaction which produces a degraded quantum state. However,…

Modern Real Time Operating Systems require reducing computational costs even though the microprocessors become more powerful each day. It is usual that Real Time Operating Systems for embedded systems have advance features to administrate the resources of the applications that…

Development of the efficient power aware protocol is the need of today s adhoc networks. Although developing battery efficient systems that have low cost and complexity, remains a crucial issue. In order to facilitate communication within a mobile adhoc network,…

El libro está orientado a las ténicas de diseño para mejorar la performance de sistemas de computación y especialmente hacia aquellas técnicas que involucren paralelismo.
