This book constitutes revised selected papers from the refereed proceedings of the 17th Colombian Conference on Computing on Advances in Computing, CCC 2023, held in Medellin, Colombia, during August 10–11, 2023. The 22 full papers and 11 short papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 68 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: Industrial Applications - Industry 4.0 - Precision Agriculture, Artificial Intelligence, Distributed systems and large-scale computing, Computational Statistics, Digital Learning - E-learning, Software Engineering, Human Machine Interaction, Image processing and Computer Vision, Robotics in Industry 4.0 and Scientific Applications.
Modern factories are experiencing rapid digital transformation supported by emerging technologies, such as the Industrial Internet of things (IIOT), industrial big data and cloud technologies, deep learning and deep analytics, AI, intelligent robotics, cyber-physical systems and digital twins, complemented by visual computing (including new forms of artificial vision with machine learning, novel HMI, simulation, and visualization). This is evident in the global trend of Industry 4.0. The impact of these technologies is clear in the context of high-performance manufacturing. Important improvements can be achieved in productivity, systems reliability, quality verification, etc. Manufacturing p...
The Special Issue Machining—Recent Advances, Applications and Challenges is intended as a humble collection of some of the hottest topics in machining. The manufacturing industry is a varying and challenging environment where new advances emerge from one day to another. In recent years, new manufacturing procedures have retained increasing attention from the industrial and scientific community. However, machining still remains the key operation to achieve high productivity and precision for high-added value parts. Continuous research is performed, and new ideas are constantly considered. This Special Issue summarizes selected high-quality papers which were submitted, peer-reviewed, and rec...
This book includes papers presented at SOCO 2018, CISIS 2018 and ICEUTE 2018, all held in the beautiful and historic city of San Sebastian (Spain), in June 2018. Soft computing represents a collection or set of computational techniques in machine learning, computer science and some engineering disciplines, which investigate, simulate, and analyze highly complex issues and phenomena. After a rigorous peer-review process, the 13th SOCO 2018 International Program Committee selected 41 papers, with a special emphasis on optimization, modeling and control using soft computing techniques and soft computing applications in the field of industrial and environmental enterprises. The aim of the 11th C...
This book presents conventions, mathematical concepts, definitions and applications central to the geometric modeling of solids, shells and wires (engineering jargon) embedded in 3D space. Currently, software is available for geometric modeling of technical or natural scenarios. However, the models built frequently fail in supporting the subsequent engineering computing and simulations. Only after repeated iterations and re-design, the models permit engineering / science simulations. This book endows the reader with the basic mathematical concepts needed to ensure that the geometric models indeed stand the stages of physics simulation, manufacturing, etc., and rapidly applies the concepts on engineering and science geometric models.
Después de Perelman y Olbrechts-Tyteca, ¿era posible una nueva contribución sustancial a la retórica con beneficios para la teoría de la argumentación? Mas allá de la esperanza abierta e ingenua de que todo es posible, afortunadamente la respuesta a esta pregunta ya tiene nombre: Christopher Tindale. Sin exagerar, la obra de Tindale, que aun sigue creciendo, reúne las características intelectuales, académicas y profesionales que la convierten en esa contribución sustancial. Este libro, que recoge varios de los ensayos que Tindale ha publicado a lo largo de veinte años —de 1993 a 2013—, nos provee una selección de artículos que dan meridiana claridad sobre avances y preocupaciones teóricas que forman parte de su obra intelectual.
This book presents plane geometry following Hilbert's axiomatic system. It is inspired on R. Hartshome's fantastic book Geometry: Euclid and Beyond, and can be considered as a careful exposition of most of chapter II of that book. It must be remarked that non-euclidean geometries, i.e. geometries not satisfying the fifth postulate of Euclid, enter the scene, in a natural way, from the very beginning. The vast majority of plane geometry texts are only concerned with euclidean geometry, loosing the oportunity of not only teaching rigorous reasoning to freshmen, but at the same time exposing them to the mind expanding experience of contemplating the strange geometries conceived, in the first decades of the XIX century, by Gauss, Lobachevsky and Bolyai.
El libro que el lector tiene en sus manos recoge una juiciosa investigación que arroja luz sobre los vínculos, antes insospechados, que propiciaron las dinámicas comerciales alrededor de los productos pecuarios entre los territorios del Nuevo Reino de Granada y la Audiencia de Quito. La misma es fruto del doctorado en Historia que realizara el autor en El Colegio de México entre los años 2009 y 2014. Parafraseando a sus jurados, la notable originalidad de planteamientos y resultados que expone y la robusta investigación sobre la que se sustenta, hacen que este trabajo constituya una contribución original y rigurosa a la historiografía, y que su publicación sea un verdadero aporte al conocimiento actual en la historia colonial de América Latina.
