This article describes strategies devised to improve the efficiency of two classical index data structures for parallel textual databases. The design and cost evaluation is effected on top of the bulk-synchronous model of parallel computing. This allows us to compare…

Los manuscritos del Parecer de Pedro de Valencia Sobre el pergamino y láminas de Granada, redactado a instancias del Inquisidor General, Bernardo de Sandoval y Rojas, llevan dos fechas distintas: el Ms 2316 de la BNM (ff. 1r-30r) está fechado…

Los sistemas de información geográfica (SIG) son una herramienta computarizada ampliamente utilizada para solucionar diversos problemas de la ingeniería que implican el uso de datos espaciales. La tecnología de los SIGs incrementa la capacidad para solucionar problemas, lo cual incluye…

This paper describes an efficient implementation of multiple-target multiple-view tracking in video-surveillance sequences. It takes advantage of the capabilities of multiple core Central Processing Units (CPUs) and of graphical processing units under the Compute Unifie Device Arquitecture (CUDA) framework. The…

Los almacenes de datos deben homogeneizar e integrar la información de las diversas áreas de una organización con el fin de extraer conocimiento relevante para la toma de decisiones. Su desarrollo no es tarea fácil, por lo cual se han…

Applying design patterns is considered a helpful technique for designing software systems.
Patterns description, however, results not sufficiently precise providing a weak understanding and making it difficult to be certain when a pattern is being used correctly. We have formally…

During recent years, new software engineering paradigms like component-based software engineering and COTS-based development have emerged. Both paradigms are concerned with reuse and customisation of existing components. The use of COTS software has become more and more important in state-of-the-art…

The development of languages allowing a proper handling of time is important in many areas of computer science because the capability to deal with the notions of change and time are essential to solve their problems.
In the development of…

Requirements capture user needs about a system [KG99]. They stand for those functional and nonfunctional attributes the system must posses to be considered correct. Requirements also dictate how the system should respond to user interaction. Therefore, they play a very…

We proposed her a technique, which can be employed within the methodology know as process reengineering. This technique was applied in a government environment, which included an Information System and Geographical Information System, developed with financial support from The World…
