The shift towards global networking brings with it many opportunities and challenges. In this paper, we discuss key technologies in achieving global semantic interoperability among heterogeneous information systems, including both traditional and web data sources. In particular, we focus on…

Most of the search engines available over the Web are based on mathematical approaches | classical techniques in the Information Retrieval area. Thereby, they are suitable for the retrieval of documents containing some or all the terms of a query,…

We address the problem of integrating objects from a source taxonomy into a master taxonomy. This problem is not only pervasive on the nowadays web, but also important to the emerging semantic web. A straightforward approach to automating this process…

Understanding the biological signals encoded in a genome is a key challenge of computational biology. These signals are encoded in the four-nucleotide alphabet of DNA and are responsible for all molecular processes in the cell. In particular, the genome contains…

La transcription, la maturation d’ARN, et le remodelage de la chromatine sont tous des processus centraux dans l'interprétation de l'information contenue dans l’ADN. Bien que beaucoup de complexes de protéines formant la machinerie cellulaire de transcription aient été étudiés, plusieurs…

Satellite and wireless networks operate over time varying channels that depend on attenuation conditions, power allocation decisions, and inter-channel interference. In order to reliably integrate these systems into a high speed data network and meet the increasing demand for high…

Desde el Laboratorio Pericial Informático del Poder Judicial del Neuquén se impulsan actividades de I+D orientadas a la gestión del conocimiento aplicada al peritaje informático.
Se pretende generar un cuerpo de conocimientos que sea útil para la formación de profesionales…

Ésta tesis es un análisis sobre la problemática en cuanto a la protección de Conocimientos Tradicionales se refiere y que tanta falta hace regularlos, es decir, es una propuesta de normar el uso de los Conocimientos Tradicionales tomando en cuenta…

Ensuring environmental sustainability is the aim of the seventh Millennium Development Goal (MDG7). United Nations data shows insufficient progress, especially in developing countries. In order to generate new information about this progress and the main barriers that hinder it, we…

This article gives an overview and selected findings from a study funded by the Mental Health Foundation in 2007, which
was collaboratively carried out by researchers at Anglia Ruskin University and two freelance researchers. The research
team included members with…
