The growth in data availability and in the number of users from non-spatial disciplines has increased the concern with spatial data management and spatial data quality. This reality contextualizes the need and importance of data quality management throughout the spatial data cycle related to data editing and sharing in the context of knowledge netw...
Conference Paper
The importance, necessity and complexity associated with water resources planning and management can be facilitated by the design and implementation of information systems based on spatial databases. In this context, this paper presents a case study of a browser-based geoviewer, built on open source software, which provides the access and visualiza...
Conference Paper
The spatial databases produced, published and shared within the scope of the exponential increase of users and applications of spatial data promotes data quality assessment and management procedures and tools. The development of geographic information systems and spatial data infrastructures reveals the growing attention and challenges of spatial d...
Conference Paper
The COBIT - Control Objectives for Information and related Technology corresponds to a structure that embraces all the activities related to the “informatics” for the Information Technology (IT) governance, while the ITIL - Information Technology Infrastructure Library helps in the definition of the processes associated to the IT services which com...

We review the integration between the genetic and evolutionary techniques with artificial neural networks. A Lamarckian model is proposed based on genetic algorithms and artificial neural networks. The genetic algorithm evolves the population while the artificial neural network performs the learning process. The direct encoding scheme was used. Thi...
