During recent years, new software engineering paradigms like component-based software engineering and COTS-based development have emerged. Both paradigms are concerned with reuse and customisation of existing components. The use of COTS software has become more and more important in state-of-the-art…

When stakeholders are geographically distributed communication presents new challenges for software engineering community. In order to improve communication between stakeholders, we have previously proposed to apply learning style models to characterise the way people interact. In this work we enhance…

Nowadays, an increasing number of companies are using process improvement models as a mean to improve the quality of their processes and therefore the quality of their products and services. Although various improvement frameworks exist that provide organizations with aids…

Several surveys have indicated that many data warehouses fail to meet business objectives or are outright failures. One reason for this is that requirement engineering is typically overlooked in real projects. This paper addresses data warehouse design from a business…

El proyecto actual expone el diseño y la implementación de un prototipo de estación meteorológica remota, para el Observatorio Astronómico de Quito (O.A.Q.), con la finalidad de obtener información meteorológica del medio ambiente. De esta manera, esta dependencia de la…

Since academic year 2003/2004 a series of modifications has been introduced in physics subjects of the Engineering degrees of the University of Alicante in order to achieve a continuous evaluation. The importance of continuous evaluation increases the students’ success, in…

Tema 8: Pantallas de visualización de datos. Actividad voluntaria nº 5.

El presente proyecto desarrolla un prototipo contador de personas, utilizando sensores piroeléctricos y ultrasónicos; que permiten determinar cuando una persona pasa por un punto fijo y a la vez, con la ayuda de un software específico, permite determinar la dirección…

This work describes two media converter prototypes for transmitting 10Mb/s & 100Mb/s Ethernet data over large core (1mm) Step-Index Polymer Optical Fiber (SI-POF). In terms of reach, both prototypes greatly outperform previously published results and current commercial media converters based…

Software tools processing partially common set of data should share an understanding of what these data mean. Since ontologies have been used to express formally a shared understanding of information, we argue that they can be used to improve integration…
