(English) In the last two decades, the use of web Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) has grown exponentially, providing both consumers (software developers) and providers (companies and institutions that expose their ...
An optimal performance of a Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) system means, the CBR system must be efficient both in time and in size, and must be optimally competent. The efficiency in time is closely related to an efficient and ...
Sports analytics is an emerging field focused on the application of advanced data analysis for assessing the performance of professional athletes and teams. In soccer, the integration of data analysis is in its initial ...
(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 ...
The thesis starts by giving an introduction to the game of Scrabble, then mentions state-of-the-art computer Scrabble programs and presents some characteristics of our developed Scrabble engine Heuri. Some brief notions ...
This thesis has addressed the design and development of an integrated system for real-time traffic forecasting based on machine learning methods. Although traffic prediction has been the driving motivation for the thesis ...
Molecular dynamics simulations are computer simulations of the physical movements of atoms and molecules, and the interactions between them. In the particular cases we focus on (pharmaceutical drug design and enzymatic ...
We propose a mathematical formalism called Algebraic Dependency Grammar with applications to formal linguistics and to formal language theory. Regarding formal linguistics we aim to address the problem of grammaticality ...
With the increase of chip component density and new manufacturability constraints imposed by modern technology nodes, the role of algorithms for electronic design automation is key to the successful implementation of ...
The phenomenal progress of computing devices has been largely made possible by the sustained efforts of semiconductor industry in innovating techniques for extremely large-scale integration. Indeed, gigantically integrated ...
Over the last few years, there has been a notorious growth in the field of digitization of 3D buildings and urban environments. The substantial improvement of both scanning hardware and reconstruction algorithms has led ...
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are cell membrane proteins with a key role in regulating the function of cells. This is the result of their ability to transmit extracellular signals, which makes them relevant for ...
The main contribution of this thesis is to deepen and generalize previous work done in the average-case analysis of partial match queries in several types of multidimensional search trees. In particular, our focus has been ...
Business processes are directly involved in the achievement of an organization's goals, and for this reason they should be performed in the best possible way. Modeling business processes can help to achieve this as, for ...
(English) Machine learning and, more specifically, deep learning applications have grown in number in recent years. These intelligent systems have shown remarkable performance across various domains, including sensitive ...
This thesis addresses the development of techniques to build fully-automatic tools for analyzing sequential programs written in imperative languages like C or C++. In order to do the reasoning about programs, the approach ...
In the era of digital transformation, an increasing number of organizations are start ing to think in terms of business processes. Processes are at the very heart of each business, and must be understood and carried out ...
As distributed systems grow in complexity, the interactions among individuals (agents, services) of such systems become increasingly more complex and therefore more difficult to constrain and monitor. We propose to view ...
(English) This thesis focuses on the discovery of causal relations and on the prediction of causal effects. Regarding causal discovery, this thesis introduces a novel and generic method to learn causal graphs by performing ...
(English) This thesis presents a systematic approach to validate the results of clustering methods on weighted networks, particularly for the cases where the existence of a community structure is unknown. Including edge ...
