Use of body knowledge and cloud computing tools to develop software projects based in innovation

A Body of Knowledge (BOK) is a term used to represent the complete set of concepts, terms, and activities that make up a professional domain. It encompasses the core teaching skills and research in a field or industry [13]. One of the main concerns of the software industry is to develop the talent of its human resources since the quality and innovation of its products and services depend of a great extent on the Knowledge, the ability, and the talent of technical engineers. In the educational area the used of BOK and Cloud Computing Tools are becoming the best way to provide solutions that meet the current need for greater collaboration between business, industry, education, and society; for this reason, the development of software products based in innovation is important for the professional life of a software engineering, since it leads to transform routine tasks into automated tasks; in the same way, it allows to manage processes focused on aligning services of Information Technology (IT) to the needs of companies with an emphasis on the benefits that the final customer added may perceive to the factor of I+D+I in order to create an innovative product. The current study focuses on the use of computer tools in the cloud in its phases: definition, planning, and control of software project based on the innovation as a tool for development and knowledge generation based in BOK. The tools of Computing in the Cloud analyzed were: Alfresco, Redbooth, DotProject, Dealines, and Redmine. The use of these tools permitted to obtain information to formulate a BOK in the context of projects.

Use of Standard and Model Based on BOK to Evaluate Professional and Occupational Profiles

Bodies of Knowledge (BOK), contain the relevant information for an area of knowledge, and it is necessary for the development of the science and application in the professional and occupational profiles and the possible incidence in the industry. This paper showed an evaluation of professional and occupational profiles based on standard Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK) and ontological model in order to obtain the necessary information to establish the relationship in these contexts.

Development of a Web Application for the Management of Reserves of Sports Scenarios.

Actually, jobs schedules and personal occupations limit the free time that each person has; which consequently restricts the activities that they can carry out throughout the day. In order to contribute to a decrease of sedentary lifestyle, and to offer a mechanism that allows the reservation of sports spaces in an easy and fast way, there was considered the development a web application that calculates the user’s location, a list of the nearest available stadiums; saving time and money. For this, it has been considered to structure the application under a client-server architecture, following the principles of a REST web service and methodology Scrum. After the development of the application, we concluded that the HTTP protocol provides a quickly mechanism for the exchange of information in a web environment; likewise, it was possible to determine that a client server model is suitable for a web environment that has to ensure availability, security and performance.

Improving Lifetime and Availability for Ad Hoc Networks to Emergency and Rescue Scenarios

A mobile ad hoc network is a temporary, self-configuring network composed of nodes that communicate through wireless interfaces that can change their geographic location randomly. It is ideal for emergency and rescue scenarios in which an immediate action is necessary and when it may be the first form of communication available. Therefore, it is necessary for the network to be active as long as possible. Additionally, the communication between network nodes must be efficient. The present research demonstrates, EBCHP, a proactive, hierarchical routing protocol in which, by using the association and support strategies of the main nodes, the performance of the mobile ad hoc network improves and its lifetime is extended compared with BCHP.

HUEQUITAS: Web Application for Location of Low Cost Restaurants

Over the years Internet accessibility has increased in a remarkable way and now, besides this, the use of devices such as smartphones, tablets and laptops allows people to access a large variety of applications, among which are those that enable users to locate places such as restaurants, hotels and parks, allowing quick access to that information. This document presents the development and implementation of a web application for the geolocation of low-cost restaurants, commonly called “huequitas”. Our application uses HTML5, CSS, PHP and JavaScript for the development of the web page and implements the Google Maps API to improve the search experience for locating all the “huequitas” in the sector. The application locates the current position of the user; and, based on the users position, shows the nearby “huequitas” along with the route to follow in order to reach each place. This application is characterized for using MySQL, an Open Source database and three layer architecture at the network level. The design of the application is specifically for a web platform, but being responsive it can be viewed from a smartphone or tablet.

E-Mail Client Multiplatform for the Transfer of Information Using the SMTP Java Protocol Without Access to a Browser.

At present, the use of emails has increased significantly. Today is one of the easiest and fastest forms of asynchronous communication, especially over long distances, in a convenient and secure way. This document details aspects of communication through Internet access, in order to show a simpler to traditional application, along with the SMTP protocol, an email transfer protocol, it consists of a client- server, which shows the sending of emails to different email addresses at the same time, application which was designed in Java programming language, this allows the client to be multiplatform, using the NetBeans ID, in addition to this, account with the use of different libraries including javax, where the results were to transmit information, with and without attachments, sending such information to 3 different mails at the same time, to interact between different mail servers, reliably, in addition to this provides a user-friendly interface, allowing effective communication.

Body of Knowledge on IoT Education.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has taken an important boom in different areas of knowledge, especially in education. The inclusion of new technologies has impacted the education sector and changed the ways of teaching. Thus, the curricula that are taught in the context of engineering and knowledge areas should be aligned to such change. In this paper, an information mapping was carried out as a scientific methodology to establish the base elements to create a book of knowledge (BOK). This information mapping is aligned with IoT for a standardized education.

Development of software prototypes through model game jam and basic vision artificial techniques

The artificial vision is a part of the artificial intelligence that pretends to simulate the human vision, is to say, from the acquisition, processing, analysis and interpretation of images through an intelligent system. This work presents the creation of prototypes under the game jam model as a software product. In this context, the objective of the present work was to apply basic artificial vision algorithms such as linear discriminant analysis (LDA), principal component analysis (PCA), Fisherface, Otsu, CamShift and color spaces such as RGB and HSV in order to be able to motion detection of objects, face recognition and pedestrian detection. As a result of applying this model in rapid prototyping, we found significant factors (such as: participatory design, light construction, product value approach, aesthetics and technology) in the implementation of innovative strategies in creating of prototypes focused on Software development.

Use of SQALE and tools for analysis and identification of code technical debt through static analysis

Technical Debt (TD), also known as technical debt design or technical debt code, analyze the consequence that could have a system once it has been designed architecturally, coding or implemented. TD refers to work to be performed rather than software design or coding is considered complete or correct. Static analysis is a technique to identify and analyze software characteristics from source code; through static analysis we can identify elements such as packages, classes, relationships, lines of code (LOCs), bugs, complexity, coding violations and others. In addition subsystems, components and their relationships supported by tools, algorithms, frameworks to analyze the code were identified. SQALE[1] is a quality and analysis model contains the internal properties expected from the code in the context of the evaluation, it has been used to perform many assessments of software source code, of various sizes in different application domains and programming language. SonarQube[2], Kiuwan[3] and PMD[4] are an open source platform to manage the source code quality, this cover seven axes of code quality among which stand: architecture and design, duplications, unit test, complexity, potential bugs, codifications rules, comments, among others; this platform work with over 20 programming languages. This paper, use as input the source code of the software applications written in different programming language for through static analysis identify metrics, characteristics, and technical debt with the aim to improve the quality when writing code, also supported in static analysis identify aspects such as correct apply of quality attributes, standards and best practices of programming that based in ISO 9126 and SQALE ensure the correct software development in terms of design and coding.
