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 ot…

In this position paper, the main steps to measure and evaluate quantitatively the quality of sites are shown. Besides, some specific models, criteria and procedures to apply in these activities are discussed by quoting case studies already performed (e.g., in…

With the growing complexity of window based software and the use of object-oriented, the development of software is getting more complex than ever. Based on that, this article intends to present a methodology for software documentation and to analyze our…

In this work, a conceptual framework and the associated strategies for metrics and model validation are analyzed regarding website measurement and evaluation. Particularly, we have conducted three case studies in different Web domains in order to evaluate and compare the…

It is commonly said that a pattern has four essential parts: a statement of the context where the pattern is useful, the problem that the pattern addresses, the forces that play in forming a solution, and the solution that resolves…

Se presentan los datos de recolecta de cuatro nuevos registros de arañas para el estado de Guanajuato: Argiope argentata (Fabricius 1775), Castianeira dorsata (Banks 1898), C. plorans (O.P.Cambridge 1898) y Selenops gracilis Muma 1953. Adicionalmente, se proporcionan algunos datos de…

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.…
