"What should be the sensing capabilities of agents in a Multi-Agent System be to solve a problem efficiently, quickly and economicly? This question often appears when trying to solve a problem using Multi-Agent Systems. ...

The thermodynamic functions Gibbs energy, enthalpy and entropy for the dissolution and mixing processes of triclosan (TS) in water are presented. These quantities were calculated by means of the van't Hoff and Gibbs equa...

Unstable market conditions caused by innovation and increasing intensity and diversity of competition have resulted in organizational capabilities rather than served markets becoming the primary basis upon which firms es...

The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of nature of polymers like HPMC, carbopol-934P and their content levels on the release profiles of water soluble drug, diclofenac potassium. For this purpose, di...

Water availability is one of the main limiting factors that control ecosystem functions and productivity in semiarid regions. Vegetation of these regions usually presents a patchy distribution where sparse plant cover is...

Esta publicación recoge la experiencia docente e investigativa de las ingenieras Carmen Inés Báez Pérez y Martha Isabel Suárez Zarabanda, investigadoras del grupo Giprocas, adscrito a la facultad de Ciencias e Ingen...

Innovation enables organizations to respond successfully to rapid changes in a business environment. This innovation capability largely relies on employees. Although workers are required to be innovative, their jobs freq...

"In this work, we present the combined effect of artificial neural networks (ANN) and experimental design as a suitable analytical tool for improving the performance of thermospray flame furnace atomic absorption spectro...

"Several works have addressed the issue of obtaining a six degree of freedom (6DOF) capable multirotor. However, the capability of keeping full control in the case of a total failure in one of the rotors has not yet been...

"This work presents a multi-unmanned aerial vehicle formation implementing a trajectory-following controller based on the clusterspace robot coordination method. The controller is augmented with a feed-forward input from...

A SEE (Satellite Energy Exchange) mission is designed to make extremely accurate measurements on fundamental gravitation by observing the orbital perturbation of unconstrained orbiting test bodies in a femto-g to atto-g ...

Vocational rehabilitation represents an important elementwithin the mental health care system. To ensure the successof rehabilitation, programs of varying degrees of complexityare needed in order to meet patients´ abili...

An Electronic Government Procurement (e-GP) project, as most of complex software systems development and implantation, requires sophisticated and strong managerial concepts and skills. So, an effective and consistent man...

Wireless sensor networks (sensornets) are wirelessly communicating smart gadgets with the capability of sensing the environment. With the immense applicability of sensornets, there is an increasing need of a general org...

The research in argumentation has produce systems with a human-like mechanism for commonsense reasoning. One form of repre- senting arguments is called Argumentation Schemes, in which are argu- ment forms that represent ...

In spite of years of research and development, formal structured estimation of time and effort required to develop a Management Information System (MIS) is still an open problem. Usual estimation techniques applied by no...

Interaction is an essential characteristic of Multi- Agent Systems (MASs). Agents that are part of a MAS usually interact by exchanging messages accord- ing to some conversation policy. Therefore, the ability to find oth...

Due to the huge amount of multi-source news that are available on the Web at any time, it is crucial to provide intelligent mechanisms to select and rank news reports. Over the last few years, a number of approaches base...

Nowadays, data intensive applications are in constant demand and there is need of computing environments with better intelligent capabilities than those present in today's Database Management Systems (DBMS). To build suc...

The development of languages allowing a proper handling of time is important in many areas of computer science because the capability to deal with the notions of change and time are essential to solve their problems. In...

In a multi-agent system, a group of individ- uals interact in a social context in order to boost their capabilities and enhance global per- formance. Each individual's action repertoire may be reduced, but it's social ca...

Throughout Argentina, like in many developing countries, several ru-ral areas with low population density are present. This distribution becomes an obstacle when seeking solutions to provide broadband services with an ef...

The aqueous solubility of drugs/drug candidates (Sw) is one of the crucial physicochemical parameters in drug discovery studies and any computational method to predict the solubility is highly in demand in the pharmaceut...

In order to accomplish collaborative product development in the area of engineering, a work platform is needed to support all-sided collaborative work by the different development partners at geographically different loc...
