Simplified forms of the particle swarm algorithm are very beneficial in contributing to understanding of what makes a PSO swarm function in the way that it does. One of these form...
For UFRGS's first participation in CLEF our goal was to compare the performance of heavier and lighter stemming strategies using the Portuguese data collections for monolingua...

In this paper, we describe our application of SPIN 1 to model an algorithm used to synchronize the clocks of modules that provide periodic real-time communication over a network. W...
Several caching techniques have been used to reduce the bandwidth consumption and to provide faster answers in P2P systems. In this paper, we address the problem of reducing unnec...
One of the main problems faced by university students is deciding the right learning path based on available information such as courses, schedules and professors. In this context,...
