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 this paper we show an algorithm for dynamic reconfiguration of distributed applications based on the mobile agent model. We also show that the proposed algorithm can be easily implemented in the IPL language, a language with several abstractions for…

This paper presents a parallel architecture for a radial basis function (RBF) neural network used for pattern recognition. This architecture allows defining sub-networks which can be activated sequentially. It can be used as a fruitful classification mechanism in many application…

In the first paragraph of the Introduction of the book the authors say "The definition of computer architecture has generated many discussions since the emergence of what could be considered the first computer in 1943, the ENIAC". Later they add…

Through this textbook (written in Spanish), the author introduces the GPU as a parallel computer that is able to solve general-propose problems. The book has a didactic approach, it includes the first steps to CUDA programming, some tips to take…

At present there are different TCP versions providing different performances. In this work the three of them: Reno, CUBIC and Vegas are considered. We simulate a WAN type network analyzing the throughput and performance of these TCP variants in order…

Based on the need to update the language and tools used to teach Procedural Programming during the first year of computer science careers, a cross descriptive research was conducted by assessing different programming languages.
The analysis involved a total of…

To support multimedia applications, it is desirable that an ad hoc network has a provision of Quality
of Service (QoS). However, the provision of QoS in an ad hoc network is a challenging task due to its
inherent…

Ce petit volume a pour object de représenter aussi complètement que possible la naissace et l'évolution de la notion aujourd'hui fondamentale de l'isotopie ainsi que l'exposé été tout d'abord reconnue chez les radioéléments, a pu étre étudiée dans des conditions…
