                      differences are used in order to calculate the interfacial
                      tension between domains with opposite magnetizations in
                      two-dimensional Ising lattices. Non-equilibrium processes
                      are driven by changing the boundary conditions for two
                      opposite sides of the lattice from periodic to antiperiodic
                      and vice versa. This mechanism, which promotes the
                      appearance and disappearance of the interface, is studied by
                      means of Monte Carlo simulations performed at different
                      rates and using different algorithms, thus allowing for
                      testing the applicability of non-equilibrium methods for
                      processes driven far from or close to equilibrium.
                      Interfaces in lattices with different widths and heights are
                      studied and the interface tension as a function of these
                      quantities is obtained. It is found that the estimates of
                      the interfacial tension from non-equilibrium procedures are
                      in good agreement with previous reports as well as with
                      exact results. The efficiency of the different procedures
                      used is analyzed and the dynamics of the interface under
                      these perturbations is briefly discussed. A method for
                      determining the efficiency of non-equilibrium methods as
                      regards thermodynamic perturbation is also presented. It is
                      found that for all cases studied, the Crooks non-equilibrium
                      method for estimating free energy differences is the most
                      efficient one.},
