Lung cancer has a high prevalence and mortality due to its late diagnosis and limited treatment, so it is essential to find biomarkers that allow a faster diagnosis and improve the survival of these patients. In this sense, ...

Gait recognition allows identifying people at a distance based on the way they walk (i.e. gait) in a non-invasive approach. Most of the approaches published in the last decades are dominated by the use of silhouettes or ...

In this paper, a new family of formats to deal with real number for applications requiring round to nearest is proposed. They are based on shifting the set of exactly represented numbers which are used in conventional ...

Emerging embedded applications lack of a specific standard when they require floating-point arithmetic. In this situation they use the IEEE-754 standard or ad hoc variations of it. However, this standard was not designed ...

The aim of the iMath project is to develop a recommender system where a student is recommended a next question or literature in a learning platform MathE. This paper describes the systems developed based on collaborative ...

The use of e-learning systems has a long tradition, where students can study online helped by a system. In this context, the use of recommender systems is relatively new. In our research project, we investigated various ...

Networked telerobots transmit data from its sensors to the remote controller. To provide guarantees on the time requirements of these systems it is mandatory to keep the transmission time delays below a given threshold, ...

In the last few years, the heterogeneous architectures have become dominant in each part of the computing industry: from heterogeneous GPU accelerators joining multi-core CPUs within the same chip, to Systems on Chip that ...

Traditional comparisons between metagenomes are often performed using reference databases as intermediary templates from which to obtain distance metrics. However, in order to fully exploit the potential of the information ...

Con la aparición de los chips multiprocesador, la industria del hardware ha pasado la responsabilidad sobre la eficiencia de las aplicaciones a la comunidad de desarrolladores de software. La gran mayoría de programadores ...
