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…

This work describes a two stages prediction method for wildland fire growth prediction. Proposed method takes advantege of genetic algorithms in order to develope a high performance and scalable application.

This paper focuses on prediction and prevention of seismic risk through a system for decision making.
Data Warehousing and OLAP operations are applied, together with, data mining tools like association rules, decision trees and clustering to predict aspects such as…

The Network Configuration Protocol (Netconf) is an IETF network management protocol using an RPCbased communication model. It was developed in the Netconf working group and published in December 2006 as RFC 4741 and later revised in June 2011 (RFC 6241).…

Through this textbook (written in Spanish), the author introduces the GPU as a parallel computer that is able to solve general-propose problems. The book has a didactic approach, it includes the first steps to CUDA programming, some tips to take…

Government Information Sharing (GIS) allows information exchange and integration between different government departments, agencies, as well as between public and private institutions. Sharing information enables enhanced efficiency -avoiding duplication of processes updating the same data; better quality of processes and…

With the advent of VoIP transport and videoconferencing/telepresence equipment at relative low costs, companies started to use a single provider for data, telephony and video, thus causing three types of transport –with different characteristics and requirements- to converge in a…

In the last decade, several argument-based formalisms have emerged, with application in many areas, such as legal reasoning, autonomous agents and multi-agent systems; many are based on Dung’s seminal work characterizing Abstract Argumentation Frameworks (AF).
Recent research in the area…

Today millions of computers are interconnected using the Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and can not switch to the new version, IPv6, simultaneously. For this reason the IETF has defined a number of mechanisms for transitioning to the new protocol…

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…
