This book presents the contents of an introduction course to Computer Science for engineering disciplines where the engineer makes use of the computer not only as an "office tool" but also as an integral part of his desi...

Modern computers present a big gap between peak performance and sustained performance. There are many reasons for this situation, but mainly involving an inefficient usage of computational resources. Nowadays the memory ...

Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) became a powerful tool for environments where an optimization is needed or where an adaptive behaviour of a system is necessary. Computer Systems have been evolving rapidly during the last ...

This paper develops the argument that information systems have not only existed for the last 50 years (as most accounts of ICT argue) or since the 1700 century (as some more accurate readings would propose), but they are...

Computer systems cannot improve organizational performance if they aren't used. Unfortunately, resistance to end-user systems by managers and professionals is a widespread problem. To better predict, explain, and increas...

The book of practices of the subject of Fundamentals of Telematics offers students the first approach to computer networks in the degrees of Telematics Engineering and Telecommunication Systems Engineering. For this, thi...

A Federated System is a collection of independent, cooperative, possibly heterogeneous and autonomous computer systems (usually database systems) which allows sharing all or some of its data. A Service-oriented Architect...

Cultural differences play a very important role in matching computer interfaces to the expectations of users from different national and cultural backgrounds. But to date, there has been little systematic research as to ...

Modern computers present a big gap between peak performance and sustained performance. There are many reasons for this situation, but mainly involving an inefficient usage of computational resources. Nowadays the memory ...

The technological advances in last decades have transformed the external resources of Vocational Counseling, Occupational Information and assessment of clients. Most computer systems follow a behaviorist-cognitive approa...

Features such as fast response, storage efficiency, fault tolerance and graceful degradation in face of scarce or spurious inputs make neural networks appropriate tools for Intelligent Computer Systems. A neural network ...

Reliable computer systems must handle malfunctioning components that give conflicting information to different parts of the system. This situation can be expressed abstractly in terms of a group of generals of the Byzant...

The rising complexity of distributed computer systems give reason to investigate self-organization mechanism to build systems that are self-managing in the sense of Autonomic and Organic Computing. In this paper we prop...

The paper provides a brief introduction into a relatively new discipline: artificial immune systems (AIS). These are computer systems exploiting the natural immune system (or NIS for brevity) metaphor: protect an organis...
