The European Laboratory for Particle Physics uses a new documental system created by a UGR researcher

The growing digitalization of traditional libraries and the increase of scientific production, like in the fields of High Energies Physics, have leaded to consider the manual indexing systems to be obsolete, as they are unviable in practice. By way of example: every week, more than one thousand new papers reach the database of the European… Seguir Leyendo The European Laboratory for Particle Physics uses a new documental system created by a UGR researcher

A UGR project allows to obtain academic information from a computer on the phone

Persons with visual disability do not only have to deal with architectural barriers. How could the blind community gain access at any time to the information of an institution or company without moving from home and through a simple phone call? The research group GEDES, of the department of Computer Languages and Systems of the… Seguir Leyendo A UGR project allows to obtain academic information from a computer on the phone

The UGR edits a book on astronomy, cartography and geodesy applied to Topography and Photogrammetry

Books on Topography and Photogrammetry do not usually analyse astronomic, cartographic and geodesic questions, essential to understand the meaning and applications of such subjects. According to the author, Mario Ruiz Morales, professor of the department of Graphic Expression in Architecture and Engineering of the Universidad de Granada, such premises justify the publication of this book… Seguir Leyendo The UGR edits a book on astronomy, cartography and geodesy applied to Topography and Photogrammetry

Researchers of the UGR apply last generation wireless technology to control irrigation systems and industrial processes

In some months, cable communication will be a thing of the past. The development of a new high-speed technology, long-range (more than 50 kilometres) and much cheaper than UMTS, will change the communication systems existing up to now. WIMAX, which will replace WIFI, has been created for offices or small places; it will also replace… Seguir Leyendo Researchers of the UGR apply last generation wireless technology to control irrigation systems and industrial processes

Researchers of the UGR develop an intelligent system to help to extinguish forest fires

SIADEX is an intelligent system capable of generating, in an autonomous way, extinction plans for forest fires on the ground from the available data (where did the fire started, environment, resources available, etc.). This system gathers a series of computer programs, among which two stand out: BACAREX, a knowledge base where the experience of the… Seguir Leyendo Researchers of the UGR develop an intelligent system to help to extinguish forest fires
