This work describes a two stages prediction method for wildland fire growth prediction. Proposed method takes advantege of genetic algorithms in order to develope a high performance and scalable application.

Se presenta una guía para resolver y estudiar modelos de expectativas racionales dinámicas lineales (LDRE). Luego de codificar el modelo, se aplica una function simple para log-linealizarlo; simular los efectos de series exógenas de shocks; calcular condiciones de momentos muestrales…

This paper provides evidence on the incidence of poverty among the elderly in Latin America and the Caribbean, based on household survey microdata from 20 countries. The situation of older people is characterized in terms of income, employment, education, health…

Our interest is to define evolutionary algorithms to solve Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP), which indlude benefits of taditional resolution methods of CSPs as well as inherent characteristics of these kind of problems. In this paper we propose a criterion to…

Images compression is a widely studied topic. Conventional situations offer variable compression ratios depending on the image in question and, in general, do not yield good results for images that are rich in tones. This work is an application of…

This book makes a clear presentation of the traditional topics included in a course of undergraduate parallel programming. As explained by the authors, it was developed from their own experience in classrooms, introducing their students to parallel programming. It can…

This book is an applied introduction to the problems and solutions of modern computer vision. It offers a collection of selected, well-tested methods (theory and algorithms), aiming to balance difficulty and applicability. It can be considered a starting point to…

Mobile agent systems have received important attention in the last years as a new programming paradigm for widely distributed and heterogeneous systems. In this article, a multi-paradigm approach for the development of intelligent mobile agents is presented. It integrates both…

In this work a compiler from fork specifications into logic programs is presented. The technique implemented by the compiler consists of transforming a set of fork equations (with some restrictions) into normal logic programs in such a way that the…

In a general context we introduce image processing with 1-dimensional wavelets and show the diferences with nonseparable 2-dimensional wavelets having quincunx decimation, in the first place, and with balanced nonseparable 2-dimensional multiwavelets, in the second place. All of them are…
