Less Data Same Information for Event-Based Sensors: A Bioinspired Filtering and Data Reduction Algorithm

2018

Sensors provide data which need to be processed after acquisition to remove noise and extract relevant information. When the sensor is a network node and acquired data are to be transmitted to other nodes (e.g., through Ethernet), the amount of generated data from multiple nodes can overload the communication channel. The reduction of generated data implies the possibility of lower hardware requirements and less power consumption for the hardware devices. This work proposes a filtering algorithm (LDSI&mdash

Model transformation language MOLA

2005

The paper describes a new graphical model transformation language MOLA. The basic idea of MOLA is to merge traditional structured programming as a control structure with pattern-based transformation rules. The key language element is a graphical loop concept. The main goal of MOLA is to describe model transformations in a natural and easy readable way.

Athletes as ‘Cultural Architects’: A Qualitative Analysis of Elite Coaches` Perceptions of Highly Influential Soccer Players

2019

The main purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of highly influential players\ud in elite soccer. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten elite coaches to determine\ud their perceptions of the characteristics, emergence and impact of highly influential players.\ud The interview guide was anchored in coaching literature and leadership theory, and after\ud exploring the interview data in this frame, we decided to label these athletes as cultural\ud architects. The results of the analysis revealed three general dimensions of cultural architects\ud in elite teams: a) Personal characteristics, which include elements related to their\ud achievements on the soccer pitc…

Biometric Features for Mobile Agents Ownership

2005

Multi-Agent System (MAS) architectures can be used for e-Business application due their flexibility, scalability and interoperability. Agent ownership implies that a specific person or organization (the owner) is responsible for the agent's actions. Agents, whose ownership was certainly fixed, could operate on behalf of their owner to make transactions, to buy or sell products. Security requirements in the agent ownership setting process are the identification of the owner and the protection of the identification information carried by an agent. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of using biometrics in mobile agent systems for owner authentication. Biometric features can be used …

Consequences of applying new technologies to sources of law (overview)

2020

Technological change has a very significant impact on the functioning of a lawyer. It is not only an advocate, judge, adviser or notary public with a law, but also specialized software in which the law is incorporated. The quality of this software, safety but also the certainty of its correctness is very important for legal certainty and functioning of lawyers. Modern law is not only the text of legal acts or contracts but also IT codes in which the law is incorporated (for example, smart contract). The law is controlled by the courts. The question arises as to who will control the codes in which the law is written. In the EU, only a few countries have recognised this problem when creating …

Influencia algorítmica e inmutabilidad de los Smart Contacts: ¿cómo impactan estas tecnologías en la asimetría contractual?

2022

En el presente trabajo nos proponenos analizar el impacto de dos tecnologías de la Cuarta Revolución Industrial en el Derecho de los Contratos, con un marcado enfoque en los sujetos vulnerables del contrato. La primera de ellas es la “inteligencia artificial” que tiene un rol preponderante al momento de la formación, celebración y análisis del contrato. Aquí nos preguntamos cómo impactan los algoritmos en la toma de decisiones, para lo cual, haremos un paso por las neurociencias. La segunda tecnología a abordar, es la denominada blockchain que se emplea en los Smart Contracts (contratos inteligentes). El eje del análisis radicará en una de sus más destacadas características: la inmutabilida…

Comparison between two different cardiovascular models during a hemorrhagic shock scenario

2020

Hemorrhagic shock is a form of hypovolemic shock determined by rapid and large loss of intravascular blood volume and represents the first cause of death in the world, whether on the battlefield or in civilian traumatology. For this, the ability to prevent hemorrhagic shock remains one of the greatest challenges in the medical and engineering fields. The use of mathematical models of the cardiocirculatory system has improved the capacity, on one hand, to predict the risk of hemorrhagic shock and, on the other, to determine efficient treatment strategies. In this paper, a comparison between two mathematical models that simulate several hemorrhagic scenarios is presented. The models considere…

Convergence Analysis of Distributed Set-Valued Information Systems

2016

This paper focuses on the convergence of information in distributed systems of agents communicating over a network. The information on which the convergence is sought is not rep- resented by real numbers, as often in the literature, rather by sets. The dynamics of the evolution of information across the net- work is accordingly described by set-valued iterative maps. While the study of convergence of set-valued iterative maps is highly complex in general, this paper focuses on Boolean maps, which are comprised of arbitrary combinations of unions, intersections, and complements of sets. For these important class of systems, we provide tools to study both global and local convergence. A distr…
