The main purpose of this book is to present the contents of an introductory course in databases. In this regard, one can find a number of material validity and recognized different scopes. This work is developed under the guidelines that…

When stakeholders are geographically distributed communication presents new challenges for software engineering community. In order to improve communication between stakeholders, we have previously proposed to apply learning style models to characterise the way people interact. In this work we enhance…

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…

El presente proyecto desarrolla un prototipo contador de personas, utilizando sensores piroeléctricos y ultrasónicos; que permiten determinar cuando una persona pasa por un punto fijo y a la vez, con la ayuda de un software específico, permite determinar la dirección…

Este artículo propone que para una eficaz gestión de los recursos hídricos es también necesario incluir variables sociológicas que ayuden a comprender y explicar la concepción y comportamiento social en torno al agua. Con esta intención se presenta una metodología…

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…

Hybrid dynamic spatial approximation trees are recently proposed data structures for searching in metric spaces, based on combining the concepts of spatial approximation and pivot based algorithms. These data structures are hybrid schemes, with the full features of dynamic spatial…

In C++, Generative Programming (GP) techniques are being used to generate highly customized and optimized products automatically manufactured at compile-time; to provide these functionalities increasing compiling power is required.
This work presents an improved compilation model for C++ by adding…

Nowadays, an increasing number of companies are using process improvement models as a mean to improve the quality of their processes and therefore the quality of their products and services. Although various improvement frameworks exist that provide organizations with aids…
