      Every day it is more common to hear around us about the publication of studies, surveys or statistical results about the well-being of people, workers, women in a given country. Indeed, as university professors, our work ...
    • A Top-down design of a parallel dictionary using skip lists 

      Gabarró Vallès, Joaquim; Martínez Parra, Conrado; Messeguer Peypoch, Xavier (1994-02)
      Research report
      Open Access
      We present a top down design of a parallel PRAM dictionary using skip lists. More precisely, we give algorithms to search, insert or delete k elements in a skip list of n elements, in parallel. The algorithms are simple ...
    • A Unified approach to concurrent and parallel algorithms on balanced data structures 

      Gabarró Vallès, Joaquim; Messeguer Peypoch, Xavier (1997-07)
      Research report
      Open Access
      Concurrent and parallel algorithms are different. However, in the case of dictionaries, both kinds of algorithms share many common points. We present a unified approach emphasizing these points. It is based on a careful ...
    • About log-on languages : preliminary version 

      Cases Muñoz, Rafael; Gabarró Vallès, Joaquim (1985)
      Research report
      Open Access
      We deal with on-line log-space Turing Machines with markers in the work tapes. In this type of machines we prove the existence of a language L satisfying L ϵ NSPACE_s (log⁡ n) , L ̅ ϵ NSPACE_s (log⁡ n) and L ϵ NSPACE_s ...
    • Adding meaning to Facebook microposts via a mash-up API and tracking its data provenance 

      Steiner, Thomas; Verborgh, Ruben; Gabarró Vallès, Joaquim; Van de Walle, Rik (IEEE Computer Society Publications, 2011)
      Conference lecture
      Open Access
      The social networking website Facebook offers to its users a feature called “status updates” (or just “status”), which allows users to create microposts directed to all their contacts, or a subset thereof. Readers can ...
    • An angel-daemon approach to assess the uncertainty in the power of a collectivity to act 

      Fragnito, Giulia; Gabarró Vallès, Joaquim; Serna Iglesias, María José (Springer, 2017)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      We propose the use of the angel-daemon framework to assess the Coleman's power of a collectivity to act under uncertainty in weighted voting games. In this framework uncertainty profiles describe the potential changes ...
    • An approach to correctness of data parallel algorithms 

      Gabarró Vallès, Joaquim; Gavaldà Mestre, Ricard (1991-05)
      Research report
      Open Access
      The design of data parallel algorithms for fine-grained SIMD machines is a fundamental domain in today computer science. High standards in the specification and resolution of problems have been achieved in the sequential ...
    • Analysing web-orchestrations under stress using uncertainty profiles 

      Gabarró Vallès, Joaquim; Serna Iglesias, María José; Stewart, Alan (Wiley Heyden, 2014-11-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      An orchestration is a multi-threaded computation that invokes a number of remote services. In practice, the responsiveness of a web-service fluctuates with demand; during surges in activity service responsiveness may be ...
    • Análisis de la evolución de un curso: productividad y desigualdad 

      Blesa Aguilera, Maria Josep; Duch Brown, Amalia; Gabarró Vallès, Joaquim; Petit Silvestre, Jordi; Serna Iglesias, María José (Universidad de Almería, 2016-07-05)
      Conference lecture
      Open Access
      Este trabajo analiza cuantitativamente las diferentes medidas adoptadas en la evaluación contínua del curso de Programación-1 de la Facultat d’Informàtica de Barcelona de la Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya desde 2010, ...
    • Axiomatic frameworks for developing BSP-style programs 

      Stewart, Alan; Clint, M.; Gabarró Vallès, Joaquim (1999-04)
      Research report
      Open Access
      In BSP a superstep comprises a collection of concurrently executed processes with initial and terminal synchronisations. Data transfer between processes is realised through asynchronous communications. BSP programs can ...
    • B-skip trees, a data structure between skip lists and B-trees 

      Gabarró Vallès, Joaquim; Messeguer Peypoch, Xavier (1994-12)
      Research report
      Open Access
      At a first look a skip-list is rather a collection of smartly connected linear linked list than a tree but they are, however, closely connected to trees. To prove it, we introduce random B-skip trees that inherit the ...
