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.

This work describes a novel way to select the best computer node out of a pool of available potentially heterogeneous computing nodes for the execution of computational tasks. This is a very basic and diffi cult problem of computer science…

The book is full of concepts and application models that can lead us to better understand how this paradigm shift application development of "Software Factory" can help SMEs. It shows how slowly is bypassing the traditional scheme based on the…

This paper focuses on prediction and prevention of seismic risk through a system for decision making.
Data Warehousing and OLAP operations are applied, together with, data mining tools like association rules, decision trees and clustering to predict aspects such as…

The Network Configuration Protocol (Netconf) is an IETF network management protocol using an RPCbased communication model. It was developed in the Netconf working group and published in December 2006 as RFC 4741 and later revised in June 2011 (RFC 6241).…

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…

In this work we present a discrete event model to design and implement a real time system simulator. This kind of software is useful to verify and evaluate algorithms and models, and to compute performance metrics. The discrete event model…

Multiple ontologies over shared domain has been produced in the geographic ontology-design field for GIS environments. In geneal, each GIS solution has its own data model or application ontology. Ontology model mapping could provide a common language from which several…

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…

Vision based applications are present anywhere. A special market is industry, allowing to improve product quality and to reduce manufacturing costs. The vision systems applied to industries are known as machine vision systems. These systems must meet time constraints to…
