• An Architecture for Software Engineering Gamification 

      Pedreira, Óscar; García, Félix; Piattini, Mario; Cortiñas, Alejandro; Cerdeira-Pena, Ana (Qinghua Daxue Xuebao Bianjibu,Tsinghua University, Editorial Board, 2020-05-07)
      [Abstract] Gamification has been applied in software engineering to improve quality and results by increasing people's motivation and engagement. A systematic mapping has identified research gaps in the field, one of them ...
    • Boosting Perturbation-Based Iterative Algorithms to Compute the Median String 

      Mirabal, Pedro; Abreu Salas, José Ignacio; Seco, Diego; Pedreira, Óscar; Chávez, Edgar (IEEE, 2021)
      [Abstract] The most competitive heuristics for calculating the median string are those that use perturbation-based iterative algorithms. Given the complexity of this problem, which under many formulations is NP-hard, the ...
    • Extending general compact querieable representations to GIS applications 

      Brisaboa, Nieves R.; Cerdeira-Pena, Ana; Bernardo, Guillermo de; Navarro, Gonzalo; Pedreira, Óscar (Elsevier, 2020-01)
      [Abstract]: The raster model is commonly used for the representation of images in many domains, and is especially useful in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to store information about continuous variables of the space ...
    • Local features: Enhancing variability modeling in software product lines 

      Castro, David de; Cortiñas, Alejandro; Rodríguez Luaces, Miguel; Pedreira, Óscar; Saavedra Places, Ángeles (Elsevier, 2024-07)
      [Abstract]: Context and motivation: Software Product Lines (SPL) enable the creation of software product families with shared core components using feature models to model variability. Choosing features from a feature model ...
    • Multilevel Modeling of Geographic Information Systems Based on International Standards 

      Alvarado, Suilen H.; Cortiñas, Alejandro; Rodríguez Luaces, Miguel; Pedreira, Óscar; Saavedra Places, Ángeles (SpringerLink, 2021)
      [Abstract] Even though different applications based on Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provide different features and functions, they all share a set of common concepts (e.g., spatial data types, operations, services), ...
