Abstract:
Information Quality (IQ) has been always a growing concern for most organizations, since they depend on information for managing their daily tasks, delivering their services to their costumers, making important decisions, etc., and relying on low-quality information may negatively influence their overall performance, or even disasters in the case of critical systems (e.g., air traffic management systems, healthcare systems, etc.).

Abstract:
The advent of biodegradable polymers constituted an important development tool for the realization of modern systems that can be used in biomedicine. Biodegradable polymers are essential when it is necessary to have easily workable materials with suitable properties to obtain an excellent biological response, for this reason they found applications in a wide range of tissue engineering and drug delivery systems. The main limitation of biopolymers is however in the properties of the materials themselves, sometimes too poor compared to the application field in which they need to be used to provi

Abstract:
Today 5G and other wireless standards are being developed for the future of our society. The different use-cases of future wireless services are going to be ever-more demanding, whether it is vehicular communication or low-powered sensor networks. High-rate, ultra-reliable and low-power are future requirements that will also affect the coding schemes being used. A relatively recent coding scheme, called polar codes, has the potential to fulfill all of these requirements if the coding scheme applied is well-designed. In this thesis we will be focusing on practical algorithms for implementation

2012 - 2013<br>The research work addresses mainly issues related to the adoption of models, methodologies and knowledge management tools that implement a pervasive use of the latest technologies in the area of Semantic Web for the improvement of business processes and Enterprise 2.0 applications. The first phase of the research has focused on the study and analysis of the state of the art and the problems of Knowledge Discovery database, paying more attention to the data mining systems. The most innovative approaches which were investigated for the "Enterprise Knowledge Engineering" are liste

Abstract:
The industrial manufacturing of today is achieved through the use of programmable logic controllers (PLC). The way PLCs are programmed remains largely unchanged since their conception 40 years ago, but complexity and software size have increased, and requirements have becomemore elaborate. Model-driven engineering (MDE) practices, formal verification and automated testing could help manage these challenges. This study seeks to improve development practices in the context of a company that delivers automation projects. Through design science methodology the state of the field is investigated an

Hoy en día el logro de las competencias del perfil de egreso es una evidencia muy importante que muestra la calidad de los programas universitarios. Sin embargo, las universidades deben esperar a que sus estudiantes terminen o lleguen al final de sus estudios para poder medir exactamente el logro de éstas, lo cual trae problemas que cuando algunos no alcancen los niveles esperados ya no haya el tiempo suficiente para poder tomar acciones correctivas. En ese sentido, en la literatura, existen varias investigaciones relacionadas con el perfil de egreso y otras que se centraron en la predicción d

Abstract:
As the usage of both BIM (Building Information Modelling) and 3D-GIS (Three-Dimensional Geographic Information Systems) has increased within the field of urban development and construction, so has the interest in connecting these two tools.  One possibility of integration is the potential of visualising BIM models together with other spatial data in 3D. Another is to be able to perform spatial 3D analyses on the models. Both of these can be achieved through use of GIS software. This study explores how integration of BIM and GIS could look. The goal was to perform typical GIS analyses in 3D on

Abstract:
Music Information Retrieval (MIR) is the interdisciplinary discipline of extracting information from music, and it is the topic of our research. The MIR system faces a significant issue in dealing with various genres of music. Music retrieval aims at helping end-users search and finds a desired piece of music from an extensive database. In other words, Music Information retrieval tries to make music information more accessible to listeners, musicians, and data scientists. The challenges and research problems that an audio recognition system faces in everyday use might come in a variety of form

Abstract:
This thesis explore the possibility to automate a process for configuration of secondary substations monitoring and control. By using a network information system (NIS), information of secondary substations can be extracted, such as feeder naming, primary equipment type, rating and model. From this information an automated process of configuring the secondary substation is possible, which open up the possibility to cost-efficiently digitalise the distribution grid. In the project, the standard IEC 61850 for configuration of communications of intelligent electrical devices was used to automate

Abstract:
The management of data, information and knowledge through the project life cycle of buildings and civil infrastructure projects is becoming increasingly complex. In an attempt to drive efficiencies and address this complexity, the United Kingdom (UK) Government has mandated that Building Information Modelling (BIM) methods must be adopted in all public sector construction projects from 2016. Emerging from the US Department of Defence, BIM is an approach to the co-ordination of design and production data using object-oriented principles as described in ISO 29481-1:2010.

Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) provides a neutral and open schema for interoperability. Model View Definitions (MVD) provide a common subset for specifying the exchanges using IFC, but are expensive to build, test and maintain. A semantic analysis of IFC data schema illustrates the complexities of embedding semantics in model views. A software engineering methodol

Abstract:
The market of IOT devices continues to grow at a rapid speed as well as constrained wireless sensor networks. Today, the main network paradigm is host centric where a users have to specify which host they want to receive their data from. Information-centric networking is a new paradigm for the future internet, which is based on named data instead of named hosts. With ICN, a user needs to send a request for a perticular data in order to retrieve it. When sent, any participant in the network, router or server, containing the data will respond to the request. In order to achieve low latency betwe
