The book deals with the topic of Operating Systems from and intuitive perspective and then delves into more technical concepts, which makes it appropriate for a first introductory course on the matter.

The use of evolutionary and swarm intelligence algorithms, has become a very popular option to solve complex real-world optimization problems. However, in their original versions, these algorithms lack a mechanism to handle the constraints of the problem i.e. they were…

The work carried out in the thesis describes efficient virtual environments management. One of the main contributions is a middleware scheduling optimization based on Grid environments. Being the overall goal to get an optimal resource selection plus a coordinate task…

The present thesis describes a Requirements Engineering strategy, called SDRES (Scenario Driven Requirements Engineering Strategy), which proposes to face topics rarely treated in real practice, such as continuous changes in requirements, software defects originated during requirements production, the organisational context…

In 21st century, convergences of technologies and services in heterogeneous environment have contributed multi-traffic. This scenario will affect computer network on learning system in higher educational Institutes. Implementation of various services can produce different types of content and quality. Higher…

For centuries, experimentation has been at the center of all successful scientific studies. Experimental explorations can offer new perceptions, weed out unproductive approaches and validate theories and practices. Computer Science (CS), as a discipline, has a poor record when it…

In this Ph. D thesis, the main significant contributions are: formulation of a new non-linear membership function using fuzzy approach to capture and describe vagueness in the technological coefficients of constraints in the industrial production planning problems [1-3]. This non-linear…

In order to measure the performance of a parallel machine, a set of application kernels as benchmarks have often been used. However, it is not always possible to characterize the performance using only benchmarks, given the fact that each one…

El Ensayo sobre la Revolución del Río de la Plata desde el 25 de mayo de 1809, publicado por su autor, Bernardo de Monteagudo, en el periódico Mártir, o libre el 25 de mayo de 1812, representa uno de los…

Professor Arnold Kaufmann did propose
at least two types of indexes for estimating fuzziness in
finite standard fuzzy sets. First one has an analogue
formulation to that stated by Claude Shannon for
measuring uncertainty in a given system. Shannon
formulation…
