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…

El crecimiento exponencial de la información subjetiva en el marco de la Web 2.0 ha creado la necesidad de producir herramientas de Procesamiento del Lenguaje Natural que sean capaces de analizar y procesar estos datos para aplicaciones concretas. Estas herramientas…

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…

Although researchers noted the importance of effective communication among stakeholders, it continues to be a challenge for requirements engineering. Communication can be considered as a management tool since communication allows organisation’s personnel to produce a cohesive enterprise view. In this…

Defining software requirements is a complex and difficult process, which often leads to costly project failures.
Requirements emerge from a collaborative and interactive negotiation process that involves heterogeneous stakeholders (people involved in an elicitation process such as users, analysts, developers,…

Certifying compilers use static information of a program to verify that it complies with certain security properties and to generate certified code. To do so, those compilers translate the source program into an annotated program written in some intermediate language.…

Effective document retrieval using domain knowledge and semantics is one of the major challenges in Information Retrieval. Over the last years, there has been a growing interest in ontologies as an artifact for human knowledge representation and a critical component…

The refinement technique allows us to capture the relationship between specification and implementation in software developments. The precise documentation of the refinement relations hip makes it possible the traceability of the requirements through the refinement steps.
Unfortunately, the standard modelling…

Many aspects of data processing are functional in nature and can take advantage of recent developments in the area of functional programming and calculi.
The work described in this paper is an attempt to contribute to this line of thought,…

Different types of middleware exist to facilitate the integration of software running on heterogeneous computing platforms. Message Oriented Middleware (MOM), for instance, enables the interaction between heterogeneous applications by exchanging packets of structured data (messages) through communication channels. The core…
