Introduction. The aim of this research is to analyse the thinking of teachers-in-training for compulsory secondary education, in order to facilitate the work of education and guidance at secondary schools. Method. The participants were 265 students in the CAP program…

Using COTS software promises faster time-to-market, which can yield substantial advantages over competitors with regards to earlier placement of a new product on a market. At the same time, component-based software introduces risks, such as unknown quality properties of the…

This study investigates an approach of knowledge discovery and data mining in insufficient databases. An application of Computational Taxonomy analysis demonstrates that the approach is effective in such a data mining process. The approach is characterized by the use of…

Previous work in software product lines showed an increment of up to 10 times in productivity and product quality [SEI Prod_Line]; because of this, the software product line approach is critical for the success of a development project including a…

En la superficie de vehículos, tales como aviones, automóviles y trenes, las cavidades abiertas son una importante fuente de ruido generado aerodinámicamente, de aumento de la resistencia y de peligrosas fluctuaciones de presión. Diversos métodos han sido probados para suprimir…

The application of ANNs (Artifi cial Neural Networks) has been studied by many researchers in modelling rainfall runoff processes. However, the work so far has been focused on the rainfall data from traditional raingauges. Weather radar is a modern technology…

El crecimiento continuo de la Internet ha permitido a las personas, alrededor de todo mundo, realizar transacciones en línea, buscar información o navegar usando el explorador de la Web. A medida que más gente se siente cómoda usando los exploradores…

The genetic algorithms have seen applied in knowledge discovery and specially for discovering association rules. In this paper, we explore the use of di erent rule quality measures in the tness function in a genetic algorithm for discovering association rules.…

Manipulating and retrieving multimedia data has received increasing attention with the advent of cloud storage facilities. The ability of querying by similarity over large data collections is mandatory to improve storage and user interfaces. But, all of them are expensive…
