Enhancing Brazilian Portuguese Textual Entailment Recognition with a Hybrid Approach

Previous work on textual entailment has not fully exploited aspects of deep linguistic relations, which have been shown as containing important information for entailment identification. In this study, we present a new method to compute semantic textual similarity between two sentences. Our proposal relies on the integration of a set of deep linguistic relations, lexical [...]

An Algorithm for Distance Calculation Between UML Sequence Diagrams

The measure of distance between UML diagrams is a crucial step to support the integration of UML sequence diagrams. This distance is used for measuring the difference between two sequences messages exchanged by objects. Even though UML sequence diagram is widely used, nothing has been done to support to find matches for short sequence of [...]

BRCode: An interpretive model-driven engineering approach for enterprise applications

Many model-driven engineering (MDE) approaches have been proposed in recent studies. They claim to improve software quality and productivity by raising the abstraction level at which developers work. However, they often fall short of what was expected in terms of productivity, profitability, and Return on Investment in real-world scenarios. This article proposes BRCode, which is [...]

A Hospital Bed Allocation Hybrid Model Based on Situation Awareness

Bed management is an important area of planning and control for hospitals, as it has the important role of maintaining the balance between patients from the emergency department, patients who have elective surgery or scheduled treatment, and patients who are discharged from the hospital, while maintaining high bed occupancy rates. Effective management of these resources [...]

No entanto, há uma grande necessidade de que essas imagens sejam analisadas por diferentes especialistas e discutidas de forma ampla na busca do melhor tratamento para cada patologia. Em ambientes clínicos transmitir essas imagens em tempo hábil é [...]

Toward analyzing mutual interference on infrared-enabled depth cameras

Camera setups with multiple devices are a key aspect of ambient monitoring applications. These types of setups can result in data corruption when applied to recent RGB-D camera models because of mutual interference of the infrared light emitters employed by such devices. Consequently, the behavior of such interference must be appropriately evaluated to provide data [...]
