Nowadays, it is widely accepted that many of modern lifestyle habits such as diet and exercise, together with genetics, play an important role in the development of many diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, ...
Service Oriented Computing (SOC) has been established in the last recent years as a successful paradigm in Software Engineering. The systems built under this paradigm, known as Service Based System (SBS), are composed of ...
Malignant tumours of the brain represent one of the most difficult to treat types of cancer due to the sensitive organ they affect. Clinical management of the pathology becomes even more intricate as the tumour mass increases ...
In an attempt to understand how Internet-like network and social networks behave, different models have been proposed and studied throughout history to capture their most essential aspects and properties. Network Creation ...
(English) High-throughput omics technologies produce large-scale heterogeneous data that provide complementary views of the underlying complexity of the studied organism. To exploit these new data to answer biomedical ...
With the growth of the Internet, computational systems have become more and more complex, often including complicate interconnected networks of autonomous components. The need to bring some organisational structure into ...
We are facing a global climate crisis that is demanding a change in the status quo of how we produce, distribute and consume energy. In the last decades, this is being redefined through Smart Grids(SG), an intelligent ...
Techniques devoted to deform 3D models are an important research field in Computer Graphics. They can be used in differentstages: the modelling phase, the animation process and also during some special simulations. ...
This manuscript explores automatic programming of sound synthesis algorithms within the context of the performative artistic practice known as live coding. Writing source code in an improvised way to create music or visuals ...
Background: Open source software (OSS) and software ecosystems (SECOs) are two consolidated research areas in software engineering. The adoption of OSS by firms, governments, researchers and practitioners has been increasing ...
This thesis concerns the specific field of visualization of medical models using commodity and mobile devices. Mechanisms for medical imaging acquisition such as MRI, CT, and micro-CT scanners are continuously evolving, ...
During the last years, we have witnessed significant improvements in digital terrain modeling, mainly through photogrammetric techniques based on satellite and aerial photography, as well as laser scanning. These techniques ...
By using Reinforcement Learning (RL), an autonomous agent interacting with the environment can learn how to take adequate actions for every situation in order to optimally achieve its own goal. RL provides a general ...
(English) This thesis presents the Tychonis framework, a solution to the limitations faced by existing software packages used in space missions to identify geometric events. The framework is designed to integrate with ...
This thesis focuses on the interactive simulation of highly detailed deformable solids modelled with the Corotational Finite Element Method. Starting from continuum mechanics we derive the discrete equations of motion and ...
Nowadays crowd simulation is becoming more important in computer applications such as building evacuation planning, training, videogames, etc., presenting hundreds or thousands of agents navigating in virtual environments. ...
This thesis concerns the proof complexity of algebraic and semialgebraic proof systems Polynomial Calculus, Sums-of-Squares and Sherali-Adams. The most studied complexity measure for these systems is the degree of ...
Supported by technological development and its impact on everyday activities, e-Learning and b-Learning (Blended Learning) have experienced rapid growth mainly in higher education and training. Its inherent ability to break ...
(English) In line with the current trend of exploiting corporative data, software companies, especially those using Agile and Rapid software development, are challenged to improve the quality of their products, their ...
Graphs are one of the most used abstractions in many knowledge fields because of the easy and flexibility by which graphs can represent relationships between objects. The pervasiveness of graphs in many disciplines means ...
