Crowdsourcing, the art of involving several individuals in the decentralized execution of business activities, is being positioned as the replacement of outsourcing, as it allows organization to reach a capable workforce ...
Current software community players like academy and industry have been changing the traditional paradigms of software engineering towards context-awareness and distributed computing. Nowadays, service-oriented computing ...
Improvements in circuit manufacturing have allowed, along the years, increasingly complex designs. This has been enabled by the miniaturization that circuit components have undergone. But, in recent years, ...
Pathfinding for autonomous agents and robots has been traditionally driven by finding optimal paths. Where typically optimality means finding the shortest path between two points in a given environment. However, optimality ...
(English) The recent technological advances in high-throughput sequencing have yielded vast amounts of large-scale biological omics data that describe different aspects of cellular functioning. These omics data are typically ...
Nowadays, most of the approaches supporting self-adaptive systems (SASs) rely on static feedback control loops, for managing their adaptation process. One of the most popular feedback loops is the MAPE-K loop. In this loop, ...
In this thesis we study feature subset selection and feature weighting algorithms. Our aim is to make their output more stable and more useful when used to train a classifier. We begin by defining the concept of stability ...
(English) The study of the colonic volume has strong relevance in gastroenterology and contributes to the diagnosis and research of lowseverity diseases such as constipation, diarrhea, or Irritable Bowel Syndrome. In the ...
Automata are a widely used formalism in computer science as a concise representation for sets. They are interesting from a theoretical and practical point of view. This work is focused on automata that are executed on ...
Nowadays, the human textual data constitutes a great proportion of the shared information resources such as World Wide Web (WWW). Social networks, news and learning resources as well as Knowledge Bases (KBs) are just the ...
With regard to the growth in the amount of social, environmental, and biomedical information available digitally, there is a growing need for Question Answering (QA) systems that can empower users to master this new wealth ...
Over the last few decades, data analysis has swiftly evolved from being a task addressed mainly within the remit of multivariate statistics, to an endevour in which data heterogeneity, complexity and even sheer size, driven ...
In this thesis, we present a set of studies whose results have allowed us to analyze how to improve the realism, navigation, and behaviour of the avatars in an immersive virtual reality environment. In our simulations, ...
