Acoustic signals constitute a source of information that can be used to measure the spatial
and temporal distributions of vocal organisms in ecosystems. Measuring and tracking those …

Background: There are too many design options for software effort estimators. How can we
best explore them all? Aim: We seek aspects on general principles of effort estimation that …

Advances in technology have enabled new approaches for sensing the environment and
collecting data about the world. Once collected, sensor readings can be assembled into data …

Increasingly, high-assurance software systems apply self-reconfiguration in order to satisfy
changing functional and non-functional requirements. Most self-reconfiguration approaches …

Ecoacoustics analysis is becoming an important way to quantify ecological aspects of the
landscape. This chapter focuses on the analysis of periodic and long‐duration acoustic …

El objetivo general de esta tesis es el desarrollo de una técnica adaptativa para la
extracción de conocimiento en grandes bases de datos. En el análisis de enormes …

This paper addresses the design and use of distributed pipelines for automated processing
of sensor data streams. In particular, we focus on the detection and extraction of meaningful …

O crescimento do tamanho e da complexidade dos sistemas computacionais atuais, dado o
grande inter-relacionamento dos diversos elementos de software e hardware que os …

Overlay networks are becoming widely used for delivering content, since they provide
effective and reliable services that are not otherwise available. However, overlay …

In this work, we address the problem of making decisions based on data streams, ie,
choosing an action when a new value is recorded. For instance, actions can be trading …
