Using simulation to estimate evacuation times in large-size aircrafts: a case study with Simio
After an emergency landing, it is essential to quickly evacuate an aircraft. Typically, a maximum limit of time is set, which does not depend on the number of passengers on board, the hour (day/night), or the number of ...
Digital skills gaps: A pending subject for gender digital inclusion in the European Union
This article thoroughly analyses the Eurostat database on Digital Economy and Society to explore the evolution of the digital skills gaps by gender in the European Union between years 2007 and 2014. It finds that differences ...
Enriching Simheuristics with Petri net models: potential applications to logistics and supply chain management
Some classic and complex problems in Operations Research consist of simplified versions of real logistic and supply chain management applications. One common and successful, but approximated approach for coping with these ...
Analysis of co-authorship graphs of CORE-ranked software conferences
In most areas of Computer Science (CS), and in the software domain in particular, international conferences are as important as journals as a venue to disseminate research results. This has resulted in the creation of ...
A simheuristic approach for resource allocation in volunteer computing
The number of projects relying on volunteer computing and their complexity are growing fast. This distributed paradigm enables the gathering of idle resources (processing power and storage) to run large systems by providing ...

Modelling human network behaviour using simulation and optimization tools: the need for hybridization
The inclusion of stakeholder behaviour in Operations Research / Industrial Engineering (OR/IE) models has gained much attention in recent years. Behavioural and cognitive traits of people and groups have been integrated ...
k-Degree anonymity and edge selection: Improving data utility in large networks
The problem of anonymization in large networks and the utility of released data are considered in this paper. Although there are some anonymization methods for networks, most of them cannot be applied in large networks ...
They have gone, and now what? Understanding re-enrolment patterns in the Catalan public higher education system
Studies of student re-enrolment patterns in higher education constitute, along with traditional studies of persistence and dropout, a key element for improving the quality of higher education institutions. However, these ...
Using Augmented Reality and Internet of Things to improve accessibility of people with motor disabilities in the context of Smart Cities
Smart Cities need to be designed to allow the inclusion of all kinds of citizens. For instance, motor disabled people like wheelchair users may have problems to interact with the city. Internet of Things (IoT) technologies ...
La prosòdia com a identificador biomètric
La biometria té com a objectiu el reconeixement de persones mitjançant un o més identificadors biomètrics com la veu, la cara o les empremtes dactilars, entre d'altres. Gràcies a la bona acceptació social i el poc intrusisme ...

Constraint programming for type inference in flexible model-driven engineering
Domain experts typically have detailed knowledge of the concepts that are used in their domain; however they often lack the technical skills needed to translate that knowledge into model-driven engineering (MDE) idioms and ...
Older people and the use of ICTs to communicate with children and grandchildren
In this research we explore older people's incentives to use Internet services to communicate with their children and grandchildren, and the factors that make older individuals stop using (or even reject) Internet-mediated ...
An iterative biased-randomized heuristic for the fleet size and mix vehicle-routing problem with backhauls
This paper analyzes the fleet mixed vehicle-routing problem with backhauls, a rich and realistic variant of the popular vehicle-routing problem in which both delivery and pick-up customers are served from a central depot ...
Simple distributed scheduling with collision detection in TSCH networks
The IETF IPv6 over the time synchronized channel hopping mode of IEEE 802.15.4e (6TiSCH) working group standardizes a distributed mechanism for neighbor motes to agree on a schedule to communicate, driven by a scheduling ...
