The ability of CNNs to efficiently and accurately perform complex functions, such as object detection, has fostered their adoption in safety-related autonomous systems. These algorithms require high computational performance ...

Integrated access to a Federated Database System, requires a deep knowledge about the semantics of its component databases so that interdatabase semantic relationships can be detected. Unfortunately, very often there is a ...

Spark has been established as an attractive platform for big data analysis, since it manages to hide most of the complexities related to parallelism, fault tolerance and cluster setting from developers. However, this comes ...

The fast thermal and electromagnetic transients that occur in a superconducting magnet in case of a quench have the potential of generating large mechanical stresses both in the superconducting coils and in the magnet ...

(English) One of the major problems to design and implement control and supervision systems for real-world processes lies in the need to stablish an ad-hoc solution for each process, i.e., environmental systems in this ...

Wedge shaped blocks spillways are an innovative solution that allows spilling over the downstream shoulder of earth and rock-fill dams in a safe way. However, they have been barely used as main spillway due to the lack of ...

The number of public universities worldwide has been increased substantially in the last decades. In Europe, such growth has been accompanied of several regulatory changes in regard of different aspects such as: the Bologna ...

Scalability analysis provides information about the effectiveness of increasing the number of resources of a parallel system. Several methods have been proposed which use different approaches to provide this information. ...
