The methodologies for agile software development are fundamentally based on the collaboration with software users during the entire development process, the simplicity to adapt the product to changes in requirements, and on the incremental product delivery. Based on the Agile…

The Semantic Web is a vision of the current Web where resources have exact meaning assigned in terms of ontologies, thus enabling agents to reason about them. As inconsistencies cannot be treated by standard reasoning approaches, we use Defeasible Logic…

Interaction between user and computer is gradually going beyond the traditional mouse and keyboard. New ways of interaction are emerging, which use new and different means for data acquisition. Virtual or augmented reality, haptic, tangible or camerabased user interfaces are…

The resolution of optimization problems is of great interest nowadays and has encouraged the development of various information technology methods to attempt solving them. There are several problems related to Software Engineering that can be solved by using this approach.…

UAV (Unmanned Airborne Vehicle) high resolution digital image acquisition systems based on small format cameras provide a versatile alternative to the solution of environmental monitoring and remote sensing problems. Through digital image processing these small format optical and multi-spectral camera…

Fault tolerance has become an important issue for parallel applications in the last few years. The parallel systems' users want them to be reliable considering two main dimensions, availability and data consistency. Availability can be provided with solutions such as…

This paper presents a hybrid method to solve hard multiobjective problems. The proposed approach adopts an epsilon-constraint method which uses a Particle Swarm Optimizer to get points near of the true Pareto front. In this approach, only few points will…

The following research proposes a first approximation to the Dynamic Hypermedial Device modeling based on the analysis of interactions. In addition, the DEVS (Discrete EVents dynamic Systems) formalism is employed, which is particularly suitable for the modeling of discrete event…

In this paper, the signal propagation characteristics of urban environments are predicted by modeling important propagation parameters of the Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) network for macrocells. The MOPEM propagation model has been selected as a model of choice due…

This paper outlines and deals with the problem of fault detection, isolation and identification of the four-elements detector system attached to the Cairo Fourier diffractometer facility (CFDF) used for neutron time-of-flight (TOF) spectrum measurements. A feed forward neural network and…
