  • Decomposed process discovery and conformance checking 

    Carmona Vargas, Josep (Springer, 2018)
    Part of book or chapter of book
    Open Access
    Decomposed process discovery and decomposed conformance checking are the corresponding variants of the two monolithic fundamental problems in process mining (van der Aalst 2011): automated process discovery, which considers ...
  • Petri net analysis using boolean manipulation 

    Pastor Llorens, Enric; Roig Mansilla, Oriol; Cortadella, Jordi; Badia Sala, Rosa Maria (Springer, 1994)
    Part of book or chapter of book
    Open Access
    This paper presents a novel analysis approach for bounded Petri nets. The net behavior is modeled by boolean functions, thus reducing reasoning about Petri nets to boolean calculation. The state explosion problem is managed ...
  • A compositional method for the synthesis of asynchronous communication mechanisms 

    Costa Gorgônio, Kyller; Cortadella, Jordi; Xia, Fei (Springer, 2007-06-30)
    Part of book or chapter of book
    Open Access
    Asynchronous data communication mechanisms (ACMs) have been extensively studied as data connectors between independently timed concurrent processes. In previous work, an automatic ACM synthesis method based on the generation ...
  • Nature inspired meta-heuristics for grid scheduling: single and multi-objective optimization approaches 

    Abraham, Ajith; Liu, Hongbo; Grosan, Crina; Xhafa Xhafa, Fatos (Springer, 2008)
    Part of book or chapter of book
    Open Access
    In this chapter, we review a few important concepts from Grid computing related to scheduling problems and their resolution using heuristic and meta-heuristic approaches. Scheduling problems are at the heart of any Grid-like ...
  • Parallel algorithms for two processors precedence constraint scheduling 

    Serna Iglesias, María José (Springer, 2016-06-07)
    Part of book or chapter of book

    Part of book or chapter of book
    Open Access
    The first programming course (Programming-1, CS1) in the Informatics Engineering Degree of the Facultat d'Informàtica de Barcelona was completely redesigned in 2006 in order to reinforce the learn-by- doing methodology. ...
