Algorithms and methodologies for interconnect reliability analysis of integrated circuits
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 ...
A framework for navigation of autonomous characters in complex virtual environments
In order to create autonomous characters it is necessary to solve the problem of moving agents between two locations, at both the global and local navigation levels. Global navigation has two main components: the path ...
Definition and use of software requirement patterns in requirements engineering
The final quality of software products and services depends on the requirements stated in the Software Requirements Specifications (SRSs). However, some problems like ambiguity, incompleteness and inconsistency have been ...
Gathering empirical evidence and building a business case for software reference architectures in industry
Background: Software reference architectures are becoming widely adopted by organizations that need to support the design and maintenance of software applications of a shared domain. For organizations that plan to adopt ...
Tree automata with constraints and tree homomorphisms
Automata are a widely used formalism in computer science as a concise representation for sets. They are interesting from a theoretical and practical point of view. This work is focused on automata that are executed on ...
Artifact-centric business process models in UML : specification and reasoning
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 ...
Robust interactive simulation of deformable solids with detailed geometry using corotational FEM
This thesis focuses on the interactive simulation of highly detailed deformable solids modelled with the Corotational Finite Element Method. Starting from continuum mechanics we derive the discrete equations of motion and ...
On some interactive mesh deformations
Techniques devoted to deform 3D models are an important research field in Computer Graphics. They can be used in differentstages: the modelling phase, the animation process and also during some special simulations. ...
Automatic program analysis using Max-SMT
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 ...
Monitoring the quality of service to support the service based system lifecycle
Service Oriented Computing (SOC) has been established in the last recent years as a successful paradigm in Software Engineering. The systems built under this paradigm, known as Service Based System (SBS), are composed of ...
Contributions to the interactive visualization of medical volume models in mobile devices
With current medical imaging improvements, specialists are being able to obtain correct information of anatomical structures of the human organism. By using different image visualization techniques, experts can obtain ...
Conformance checking and diagnosis in process mining
In the last decades, the capability of information systems to generate and record overwhelming amounts of event data has experimented an exponential growth in several domains, and in particular in industrial scenarios. ...
Simulation, animation and rendering of crowds in real-time
Nowadays crowd simulation is becoming more important in computer applications such as building evacuation planning, training, videogames, etc., presenting hundreds or thousands of agents navigating in virtual environments. ...
Variants of unification considering compression and context variables
Term unification is a basic operation in several areas of computer science, specially in those related to logic. Generally speaking, it consists on solving equations over expressions called terms. Depending on the kind of ...
Structural and computational aspects of simple and influence games
Simple games are a fundamental class of cooperative games. They have a huge relevance in several areas of computer science, social sciences and discrete applied mathematics. The algorithmic and computational complexity ...
Dissemination and visualisation of biological data
