The use of cognitive maps in support of solving practical problems of analysis of ill-structured situations and large-scale systems in economics, medicine, ecology, education and military-political sphere is growing. The problem of visual perception and understanding of cognitive maps is proven to be extremely urgent and practically important. The set of visualization methods that provide better perception...
La lechería es muy importante para la economía uruguaya, por esta razón, interesa realizar investigaciones en esta área. Este trabajo comprendió la incorporación de tecnologías en sistemas lecheros para realizar estimaciones de disponibilidad de forraje. Particularmente, se estimó la disponibilidad de forraje en un potrero mediante el procesamiento de imágenes georeferenciadas de las pasturas, las...
Computer Science students usually carry practical activities for the identification of software requirements and for understanding the organization business rules. Within this context, during the last two years we have conducted a project with software industry and Computer Science students, using comic strips to support the software requirements specification. We created a method of scenario simulation...
IT job market seems to be an interesting alternative for those who are deaf or hearing impaired (DHI). All accessible (interface+content+learning objects) online courses have the reach and the means to, potentially, impact the status quo. All lab offers such courses to both DHI and non-DHI communities. Still, DHI graduates legs behind non-DHI in debugging-related tasks when the industry-standard Eclipse...
One of the needs in the problem of data centralization of companies is that they handle various applications (software) for each process they perform (HR Accounting Inventories etc.) This leads to not be able to unify the information. With our idea it begins to raise a technological solution to centralize and migrate information from the databases of various applications regardless of the engine they...
Nowadays reports from the CMMI Institute show that the implementation of software process improvement (SPI) is used in order to establish continuous process improvement to increase the quality of software products through the CMMI-DEV model and the SCAMPI appraisal method. In this context this method of evaluation allows to validate establish and identify opportunities for process improvement to obtain...
The authoring tools are software applications, for the construction of educational resources that incorporate the possibility of including multimedia elements, that allow to carry and use the resources created in various environments or devices types. Edutools is an authoring tool conceived for the creation of Learning Objects (OA) in HTML format (Hyper Text Markup Language), moreover the tool provides...
Specifications for a software system are usually verified using test cases in the testing phase. As is code coverage, specification coverage is expected to help comprehend how many specifications to be implemented are tested. In this study, we apply a visualization process for specification coverage to a web application development project in industry. This process provides two views for visualization...
In this paper, we propose a computational modeling method to investigate head-eye coordination in face-to-face behavior. The method looks into probability density of individuals' head orientation during looking at others' face. We conducted experiment under two different scenarios in human-human interaction. Under each scenario, individuals' head orientation could be fitted with one Gaussian distribution...
This article describes SECav, an educational software developed in the context of a research project, with the aim of supporting the teaching and learning processes of a Numerical Calculus course that is taught for several courses of the Exact and Natural Sciences Faculty of the UNLPam University. SECav focuses on the numerical resolution of nonlinear equations, polynomial interpolation and approximation,...
In software development, there are many situations in which developers need to understand given source code changes in detail. Until now, a variety of techniques have been proposed to support understanding source code changes. Tree-based differencing techniques are expected to have better understandability than text-based ones, which are widely used nowadays (e.g., diff in Unix). In this paper, we...
In this paper we present some preliminary results and conclusions about the experience of using a tool designed and developed as a support for the teaching of relational algebra. Through the tool you can design queries in relational algebra, check their operation and performance, step by step, visually. The experiences were applied to an introductory course of databases in the Engineering in Software...
Tangible User Interfaces (TUI) have garnered significant interest in the past years as a potential solution to embed smarter technologies for education. The intrinsic ability of this technology to engage and intrigue students in active learning pedagogies has recently been successfully proven across all ages using various techniques. Predominantly amongst the effective technologies, has been the development...
We present a virtual system for strengthening of lower limbs focused on children with cerebral palsy, in the implementation we use sensors that allow to obtain the angular velocity and rotation of direction of the bicycle, for the design of the virtual environment we use the Labview software, in which two scenarios of different difficulty are created to visualize in virtual form the trajectory that...
We present a mobile application for the vowels learning of in children with SD, the methodology of the application design and the description of utilization are explained. The application was used by 4 children for one month (5 sessions per week), the results show that the application is an aid to primary teachers in teaching vowels in children with DS.
This article presents the design of a telecommunications network that allows the monitoring of mud, earth, rock and debris flows produced by slope overflows in the main arterial roads of the city of Cuenca, Province of Azuay. This network is integrated in a system of monitoring of the SIS ECU 911 of the City of Cuenca. The system has been conceived as a set of devices such as wireless modules and...
In this paper we do staircase detection with a stereo vision based algorithm through NAO robot, using one of this cameras. Robot programming was implemented in Python language using ROS software. The detection algorithm is divided in two parts: line detection and depth perception. In line detection process we use Hough transform and vanishing point criteria for line segmentation. Respecting depth...
This paper discusses the challenges related to the insertion of Virtual and Augmented Reality in the teaching and learning processes, considering their multidisciplinary aspect, the adherence to Web 3.0 and a scenario of possible gains and results with such an insertion. There will be pointed out the features that made VR and AR solutions with a potential big impact, despite not properly explored...
This article presents the results of an investigation that aims to analyze the differences between programming languages required by companies in the Costa Rican labor market versus current programming languages offered by the academy. It also shows the main factors to consider new graduates in this specific area of information and communication technologies to be hired. The study finds that there...
This article aims to improve the math learning process of the students in rural schools. For this purpose, a “Math-fraction” computer animation application was developed to use on the web and mobile technologies. The tool was designed using a visual approach to reinforce student's learning process acquired in classes. The tool was tested and validated by three usability user experts, thirty four students...
