The objective of this paper is to utilize the SIPOC, flowchart and IDEF0 modeling techniques combined to elaborate the conceptual model of a simulation project. It is intended to identify the contribution of these techniques ...

High performance computing systems usually have a high usage cost, even with the use of shared systems, such as grids and clouds. To reduce such costs it is necessary to optimize system's utilization through performance ...

Local Coherence is a very important aspect in multidocument summarization, since good summaries not only condense the most relevant information, but also present it in a well-organized structure. One of the most investigated ...

The Harris-Todaro model of the rural-urban migration process is revisited under an agent-based approach. The migration of the workers is interpreted as a process of social learning by imitation, formalized by a computational ...

Enterprise modeling is a tool that can be used for simple objectives, such as understanding how a part of the enterprise works, to more complex objectives, such as information flow for the computerized systems, or knowledge ...

Recently a Minimal and an Ultraminimal Technicolor models were proposed where the presence of TC fermions in other representations than the fundamental one led to viable models without conflict with the known value for the ...

Dosage and frequency of treatment schedules are important for successful chemotherapy. However, in this work we argue that cell-kill response and tumoral growth should not be seen as separate and therefore are essential ...

The aim of this work was to fit an empirical model for estimating the Colored Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM) absorption coefficient (a(CDOM)) at 412 nm [a(CDOM)(412)] and 443 nm [a(CDOM)(443)], in Itumbiara reservoir ...
