Knowledge-intensive processes are widely used to recover from errors, handle exceptional cases and complaints, and to improve or adapt a process itself. In this context, evolved Business-Process Reengineering (BPR) techniques are changing to give some answers to this reality. In…

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…

Data integration is the process of unifying data sharing some common semantics but are originated from unrelated sources. In our work we consider these sources are autonomous, heterogeneous and they are physically distributed. These three characteristics make the integration task…

Time and change are notions that seems unavoidable in some areas of work and investigation, languages that can deal with these notions are necessary. At the same time, methods for a proper time handling are quite complex, mainly because problem’s…

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a language for visualizing, specifying, constructing, and documenting the artifacts of a software-intensive system. UML supports the most typical software modeling problems; however, due to the diversity of software development domains, there may be…

In omplete information is a problem in many aspe ts of a tual environments. Further- more, in many s enarios the knowledge is not represented in a risp way. It is ommon to nd fuzzy on epts or problems with…

Semantic Web is an extension of the current web in which data contained in the web documents are machine-understandable.
On the other hand, Web Services provide a new model of the web in which sites exchange dynamic information on demand.

The great advance of the communications and the importance gained by the mobile systems have increased the development of WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) applications, nevertheless at the present time do not exist methodologies specifically designed for the WAP applications development…

The structured techniques for systems analysis and design are still the most widely known. One of the alternatives of this technique is the JAD methodology (Joint Application Design). This methodology is an improvement with respect to the existing ones -…

Framework comprehension is a very limiting factor to take full advantage of the benefits that frameworks offer to increase quality and productivity in software development. In this paper, a reverse engineering approach to framework comprehension using the MetaExplorer tool is…
