Multiple-criteria or multiple-attribute group decision-making is a sub-field of operations research that seek to find a common and representative solution given the preferences elicited by a pre-defined group, over a set ...
(English) Continuous enhancement in hardware technologies enables scientific computing to advance incessantly and reach further aims. Since the start of the global race for exascale high-performance computing (HPC), ...
Electromagnetic vibration energy harvesting is a relatively modern technology that has received relevant attention in the last decade from the research community and industry as a potential complement or alternative to the ...
The thesis describes the application of the relaxation labelling algorithm to NLP disambiguation. Language is modelled through context constraint inspired on Constraint Grammars. The constraints enable the use of a real ...
This Thesis contributes with new algorithms for line drawing interpretation. A line drawing is a 2D diagram of vertices and straight edges aiming to depict a polyhedral 3D scene. Given one such drawing we usually want ...
La tesi de la recerca és que el procés de renovació de l'espai públic a Barcelona, iniciat amb la recuperació dels Ajuntaments democràtics el 1979 i que roman obert en l'actualitat, ha conduït a la consolidació d'una cultura ...
Cutting-edge methods in the computational analysis of structures have been developed over the last decades. Such modern tools are helpful to assess the safety of existing buildings. Two main finite element (FE) modeling ...
In terms of sustainability, traffic is currently a significant challenge for urban areas, where the pollution, congestion and accidents are negative externalities which have strongly impacted the health and economy of ...
Evaluation is the systematic determination of the merit, worth and significance of a programme, initiative or intervention. As a young discipline, its empirical study is still limited, especially in Francophone Africa. ...
The modern world is software-intensive. National infrastructures, smartphones and computers, health-care systems, e-commerce... everything is run by software. Therefore, developing high-quality software solutions is essential ...
En la actualidad se están realizando diversos esfuerzos para realizar la visión fu-turista de las redes de telecomunicación autogestionadas. La gestión basada en políticas ha sido reconocida como una herramienta potencial ...
(English) One of the major problems to design and implement control and supervision systems for real-world processes lies in the need to stablish an ad-hoc solution for each process, i.e., environmental systems in this ...
(English) The present thesis focuses on developing, implementing, and evaluating a comprehensive community and impact-based early warning system (EWS) framework to support the protection actions of authorities and citizens ...
The number of public universities worldwide has been increased substantially in the last decades. In Europe, such growth has been accompanied of several regulatory changes in regard of different aspects such as: the Bologna ...
There is a growing concern about the combined effect of climate change and groundwater overexploitation on the availability of water resources in the Upper Guadiana basin (UppGb) in central Spain. General Circulation Models ...
This thesis explores the potential of models based on the discrete element method (DEM) to study dynamic probing of granular materials, considering realistic particle-scale properties. The virtual calibration chamber ...
Modern service-oriented applications demand the ability to adapt to changing conditions and unexpected situations while maintaining a required QoS. Existing self-adaptation approaches seem inadequate to address this challenge ...
Aquesta memòria s'ha escrit amb l'ànim d'exposar els punts de vista i els resultats nous que l'autor ha pogut obtenir. No s'hi troba, per tant, una descripció detallada de tots els temes que conformen la teoria dels operadors ...
This thesis focuses on the development of an analytical model for the generation and propagation parts of a global model of ground induced vibrations to be used in preliminary assessment studies for the case of at-grade ...
La evaluación de la respuesta dinámica o sísmica de estructuras complejas a menudo requiere de la integración en el dominio del tiempo de la ecuación de equilibro dinámico de la estructura, en el marco de un análisis no ...
