We describe the design, implementation and deployment of the multi-level agent-based system architecture developed for the SEWASIE project. The aim of the system is to help the user in querying heterogeneous data sources...

The main objective of this paper centers on reviewing the evolution of Decision Support System´s (DSS) architectures, particularly as they apply to natural resources. Today it is difficult to conceive the existence of a...

Quality models for software architecture are taxonomies of quality attributes, commonly used to specify and evaluate nonfunctionalrequirements. Most quality models offer a two-level approach, distinguishing externally ob...

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...

This paper presents a proposal for an architecture that integrates knowledge discovery systems (automatic acquisition) and knowledge based systems (experts systems). This work formulates considerations over the viability...

This book presents the authors' updated view on the most relevant topics of distributed systems. This second edition shares most of the contents with the previous one in terms of contents/chapters, but many of the chapte...

The architecture and learning procedure underlying ANFIS (adaptive-network-based fuzzy inference system) is presented, which is a fuzzy inference system implemented in the framework of adaptive networks. By using a hybri...

The rapidly expanding technology of cellular communications, wireless local area network (LAN), wireless data networks and satellite gives mobile users the ability of accessing information anywhere and anytime. Data broa...

Water Resources Information Systems (WRIS) present different types of problems during the data storage and analysis phases, related with the complex nature of the environmental data spacio-temporal phenomena. There are m...

Vision based applications are present anywhere. A special market is industry, allowing to improve product quality and to reduce manufacturing costs. The vision systems applied to industries are known as machine vision sy...

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 ...

Networking together hundreds or thousands of cheap microsensor nodes allows users to accurately monitor a remote environment by intelligently combining the data from the individual nodes. These networks require robust wi...

Object-oriented software development has proven effective for systems development, but the creation of reusable and changeable software architectures is still a challenging task. Design patterns capture the expertise for...

In the first paragraph of the Introduction of the book the authors say "The definition of computer architecture has generated many discussions since the emergence of what could be considered the first computer in 1943, t...

A visual attention system, inspired by the behavior and the neuronal architecture of the early primate visual system, is presented. Multiscale image features are combined into a single topographical saliency map. A dynam...

We have developed a near-real-time computer system that can locate and track a subject's head, and then recognize the person by comparing characteristics of the face to those of known individuals. The computational appro...

This article presents a proposal of a multithreaded core for an OSI/ISO management agents including its modeling, simulation and performance evaluation. The proposed model i s compared against another one (unthreaded cor...

Mobile agent systems have received important attention in the last years as a new programming paradigm for widely distributed and heterogeneous systems. In this article, a multi-paradigm approach for the development of i...

An attempt has been made in this paper to access the control layer of the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) network base station (BS), using throughput optimization. We focus on the effect of packet transmissions on th...

We introduce an extremely computation-efficient CNN architecture named ShuffleNet, which is designed specially for mobile devices with very limited computing power (e.g., 10-150 MFLOPs). The new architecture utilizes two...

"In the last years, progress has been made attempting to replace a unique, complex and expensive vehicle equipped with several sensors such as LIDAR, RGB cameras, thermal sensor, etc. with a group of small vehicles, each...

"There is an increasing interest in replacing a unique, complex, and expensive vehicle equipped with several sensors with a group of small vehicles, each of them carrying fewer sensors. There are several advantages in th...

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...

An attentional mechanism has lately been used to improve neural machine translation (NMT) by selectively focusing on parts of the source sentence during translation. However, there has been little work exploring useful a...
