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 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…

Clustering of short texts is an important research area because of its applicability in information retrieval and text mining. To this end was proposed CLUDIPSO, a discrete Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm to cluster short texts. Initial results showed that CLUDIPSO…

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…

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…

The general objective of this thesis is the development of an adaptive technique for extracting knowledge in large databases. Nowadays, technology allows storing huge volumes of information. For this reason, the availability of techniques that allow, as a first stage,…

When there is a need to understand the data stored in a database, one of the main requirements is being able to extract knowledge in the form of rules. Classification strategies allow extracting rules almost naturally. In this paper, the…

This document describes a research and development project - Semantic Web and Cooperative Problem Solving for Online Communities of Practice. The aim of the project is to build a system supporting Cooperative Problem Solving within the framework of online Communities…
