Welcome to the DPCS@IN3-UOC site

Distributed, Parallel and Collaborative Systems (DPCS)

The DPCS group is focused on the development and optimization of distributed and parallel systems and algorithms at different scales (small groups, clusters, or Internet). In particular, we pay special attention to peer-to-peer, shared memory, message passing computing paradigms and HPC scientific applications. In addition, we are also interested in the design of collaborative systems and applications.

The IN3 Knowledge Community HAROSA has published a new Springer book: Simulation Methods for Reliability and Availability of Complex Systems

Complex systems and networks have become ubiquitous and are essential to today’s society. The design of reliable complex systems and the determination of their availability are therefore very important tasks for managers and engineers. These tasks, however, can be extremely difficult to achieve, due to the fact that current analytical methods are often too complicated, time-consuming, inefficient, or even inappropriate, when dealing with real-life systems and networks.

The IN3 Knowledge Community HAROSA has published a new Springer book: Computational Intelligence for Technology Enhanced Learning

E-Learning has become one of the most wide spread ways of distance teaching and learning. Technologies such as Web, Grid, and Mobile and Wireless networks are pushing teaching and learning communities to find new and intelligent ways of using these technologies to enhance teaching and learning activities. Indeed, these new technologies can play an important role in increasing the support to teachers and learners, to shorten the time to learning and teaching; yet, it is necessary to use intelligent techniques to take advantage of these new technologies to achieve the desired support to teachers and learners and enhance learners’ performance in distributed learning environments.
