This line of research, although left aside in recent years, has been the basis for the writing of two Ph.D. Theses, as well as a remarkable set of publications. For the development of this line, I have benefited from the contributions of other ECSEN colleagues (especially Prof. A. Casimiro Herruzo and Dr. Roberto Voces) and Prof. Óscar Alfranca, from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia. Excluding those related to sustainability, already introduced , the most interesting publications are selected below:
