This book gathers a set of practical developments that support and complement the basic concepts acquired in the theoretical study of the Cortex-M3 microcontroller from ARM. It consists of a series of guided initiation p...

Provisioning Systems were developed to reduce the effort required to install the several components included in the hardware and software stack of High Performance Computing (HPC) clusters. These systems are designed 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 ...

Electronic voting systems are increasingly used in electoral processes ranging from specialized stand alone machines, up to complete paperless and remote voting system. Votes secrecy and confidence are necessary in any e...

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 ...

Intelligent computing systems comprising microprocessor cores, memory and reconfigurable user-programmable logic represent a promising technology which is well-suited for applications such as digital signal and image pro...

Programming embedded devices has been historically a difficult task, involving the learning of the features of a specific device such as the assembly language of a processor. This led to the use of Java in embedded syste...

Self-optimization is a promising approach to cope with the increasing complexity of today’s automation networks. The high complexity is mainly caused by a rising amount of network nodes and increasing real-time require...

In collaborative self-organizing computing systems a complex task is performed by relatively simple autonomous agents that act without centralized control. Disruption of a task can be caused by agents that produce harmfu...

An extension of previous developments of electronic voting and e-government systems carried out at the School of Computer Science of the UNLP is presented, where a digital fingerprint recognition feature is added to the ...

The paper begins by discussing the conception and birth of IFIP TC8 in Amsterdam in 1975 and 1976, describing the roles of the main players (such as IFIP and IFIP ADP). The background in terms of the IFIP organization an...

La disponibilidad de dispositivos de Lógica Programable de alta densidad de integración permite buscar soluciones integradas en un dispositivo SOPC (System On a Programmable Chip). Un tema de creciente interés son lo...

The growing number of control models based on combinations of neural networks, fuzzy systems and evolutionary algorithms shows that they represent a flexible and powerful approach. However, most of these models assume th...

In [1] a form of representation of logic circuits by chains of integer numbers is presented. That type of representation is easy to simulate and to export to FPGA hardware in such a way that, by adding a genetic algorith...

Despite the advances in wireless, energy-constrained ad hoc networks, there are still many challenges given the limited capabilities of the current hardware. Therefore, our aim is to develop a lightweight, yet powerful o...

“Ciudades inalámbricas” es un producto desarrollado para brindar servicios de acceso a Internet con gran flexibilidad y adaptabilidad, logrando cubrir grandes distancias a través de una mínima infraestructura. Se...

Nowadays, motor vehicle safety has gained a widespread interest. Technological breakthroughs have allowed more efficient system implementations as regards life protection elements for both passengers and pedestrians. Amo...

Hidden Markov Models are used in different kinds of sequence recognition problems. Specially, Hidden Markov Models are suited for speech/speaker recognition systems. Due to the complexity of the algorithms involved, gene...

In systems where agents are required to interact with a partially known and dynamic world, sensors can be used to obtain further knowledge about the environment. However, sensors may be unreliable, that is, they may deli...

Este artigo apresenta um sistema de hardware e software para extrair medidas de pés da população brasileira. Sabe-se que os pés são diferentes, dependendo de diversos fatores como sexo, idade, raça, etc. Atualment...

La incorporación de microcontroladores empotrados dentro de diseños complejos basados en lógica programable ha resultado ser una alternativa de uso habitual cuando, junto con una tarea de elevada performance, es neces...

It is a fact that gaming technology is a state-of-the-art tool for military training, not only in low level simulations, e.g. flight training simulations, but also for strategic and tactical training. It is also a fact t...

"There is abundant literature on positioning systems based on WiFi signals. Most of the systems with off-the-shelf hardware use RSSI measurements. In this paper, we try to determine the highest achievable accuracy of su...
