This will allow us to capture information (temperature, relative humidity, etc.) in real time of the area in which the sensor will be located. Moreover, it will allow taking integral proportional control actions to guarantee efficient use of the energy resource. Once data is available, it will be sent to an access point (AP) that collects information from at least one wireless sensor (SI) to redirect it to a management and control center (MCC). This is intended to provide assisted living within a smart home, maximizing user comfort. RSI are directly related to deployment, topology, and energy consumption. The hardware and software will be implemented using graph theory.","PeriodicalId":148844,"journal":{"name":"2021 Second International Conference on Information Systems and Software Technologies (ICI2ST)","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122724405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are companies in Ecuador devoted to providing consulting services for management of processes; to that end they use methodologies, techniques, and good practices, in order to provide optimal services to meet the expectations of their customers. However, this not always occurs.The objective of this work is to present a proposal of a model to guide the quality in the design of processes, which allows expert companies to perform a design following good practices and to evaluate the quality from syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic perspectives.","PeriodicalId":148844,"journal":{"name":"2021 Second International Conference on Information Systems and Software Technologies (ICI2ST)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131706725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective: Establishing an overview of the topic through a classification scheme of publications and structure the field of interest. Method: We conducted a Systematic Mapping Study, including articles published until 2019, that report at least one study of empirical strategies in SE. Results: 80 initial sets of studies were selected and analyzed, identifying: i) empirical strategy type used and ii) Software Engineering hypotheses types used. Also, 20 papers of the set of studies for mapping were selected and analyzed, identifying 17 empirical strategies and 11 main characteristics to address the empirical research inception in SE. Conclusions: We corroborate that the selection of an empirical strategy in Software Engineering research depends on the nature and scope of the research and on the resources that the researcher has at that moment, in addition to the degree of scientific and methodological knowledge that he has to carry out an empirical study. It is necessary to continue studying in-depth the behavior and nature of the empirical strategies in Software Engineering research that allows strengthening the scientific taxonomy in SE, besides walking towards the automation of the experimental process.","PeriodicalId":148844,"journal":{"name":"2021 Second International Conference on Information Systems and Software Technologies (ICI2ST)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115668113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article shows a case study where, through a training program in ER, tools such as LEGO® Robotics and WeDo 2.0 are introduced to teachers of the Ministry of Education of Ecuador (online workshop). Mainly, our research reveals 1) the method for the implementation of a 5-module virtual workshop; and 2) an experimental study which validates that there are significant changes in the teachers’ knowledge regarding ER after participating in the workshop. Finally, the shortcomings of the ER use, lessons learned and main key points are underlined.","PeriodicalId":148844,"journal":{"name":"2021 Second International Conference on Information Systems and Software Technologies (ICI2ST)","volume":"102 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120871938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We call this ASR system as the Spanish Políglota. The pronunciation dictionary for the language model is obtained by applying grapheme to phoneme conversion. It was developed via Festival Speech Synthesis Scheme scripts and the SPPAS Spanish lexicon. The possible audio queries are restricted by a BNF grammar we designed for this project. A triphone acoustic model was generated from a set of 1621 words audio recordings. This acoustic model is based on a N-gram model that estimates its probabilities based on the maximum likelihood estimation MLE. We evaluated the prediction of individual words, as well as of synthetic phrases. We generated 1577 synthetic phrases concatenating the words of our audio set. The performance was also measured over a new set of audio recordings from a different speaker. Evaluation of isolated word recognition achieved 77.91% of correct predictions. Nevertheless, the performance dropped when evaluating the synthetic phrases as well as the second speaker’s speech. We consider it is an initial step towards the development of a fully functional automatic speech recognition system.","PeriodicalId":148844,"journal":{"name":"2021 Second International Conference on Information Systems and Software Technologies (ICI2ST)","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126240435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At this stage, the person may need help with activities of daily living. Many products and several lines of research based on the Internet of Things (IoT) have been opened to improve or preserve the physical and cognitive condition of the elderly, which leads to the prolongation of their independence. Regarding selecting these devices, methods are needed to guide the solution architect so that, based on physical, medical, technical, and economic specifications and additional considerations related to the needs and possibilities of the person or their environment, they select the more suitable IoT solution. In this context, this study proposes a methodology for the selection and acquisition of IoT devices that intervene in environments to improve the quality of life of the elderly, based on the previously identified requirements that IoT devices must meet and the restrictions of the environment. The proposed methodology is based on the multi-criteria decision-making technique called the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP).
