Mobility in urban environments is constrained by a steadily growing traffic, while infrastructures usually cannot be expanded. Therefore, improving mobility and sustainability must go hand in hand with a better management of available resources, incorporating traffic control strategies that can be adapted to real conditions at any given time. One of the main obstacles is obtaining the necessary information...
Currently Differential Evolution (DE) is arguably the most powerful and widely used stochastic population-based real-parameter optimization algorithm. There have been variant DE-based algorithms in the literature since its introduction in 1995. This paper proposes a novel merit-based mutation strategy for DE (MDE); it is based on the performance of each individual in the past and current generations...
The best way to achieve emissions' reduction in the near and mid-term is increasing the demand-side energy efficiency — this is especially true in developing countries where the potential for demand reduction is significant and achievable at relatively lower cost. An ideal candidate for the implementation of demand-side energy efficiency measures is the building sector, since it contributes to a large...
Tissue classification is a necessary step to obtain the spatial distribution of a pathology or nosologic map and typically it is performed by the combination of different medical image modalities, including histopathological studies. In previous work, combination of different magnetic resonance (MR) modalities such as in vivo spectroscopy, relaxometry and diffusometry have been proposed to obtain...

Child pornography is an increasingly visible problem in society today. Methods currently employed to combat it may be considered primitive and inefficient, and legal and technical issues can exacerbate the problem significantly. We explore the area from social and technical perspectives, and call for viable solutions based upon distributed network infrastructure mechanisms. We also outline the use...
Recent voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) technology is attracting more and more attention and interest in the industry. VoIP applications such as IP telephony systems involve sending voice transmissions as data packets over private or public IP networks as well as reassembled and decoded on the receiving side. Security concerns are always the major barrier that prevents many businesses from employing...
