This test is organized in several components (math, language, etc) and every career can give more relevance to a component than the others. Traditionally, in our university the Computing Engineering career has given a very high score to the math component but until now it did not have a theoretical support. We just thought Computing Science as a branch of Mathematics and therefore its importance. With this work - for the first time - it has been analyzed the correlation among the components of the state examination and the average grades obtained by students in their careers, by means of a genetic algorithm. We got to the big point that mathematics are not as important as we thought it was.","PeriodicalId":263586,"journal":{"name":"Latin American Computing Conference / Conferencia Latinoamericana En Informatica","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131764162","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}

Conflicting items must not be packed together in a same bin. This problem also arises as a subproblem in the bin packing problem and in supply chain scenarios. We propose a heuristic that generates iteratively a solution using a so called greedy randomized procedure. In order to avoid local optima solutions, a penalization memory list is used, and several packing strategies under a two-dimensional grid of points are considered. The heuristic solutions are compared with those ones computed by means of an integer programming model, also proposed in this work and solved with CPLEX solver. The heuristic got optimal solutions for 75% of the instances in a lower CPU time compared with that to solve the integer model.","PeriodicalId":263586,"journal":{"name":"Latin American Computing Conference / Conferencia Latinoamericana En Informatica","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133359293","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 is known as social technology appropriation which goes beyond digital inclusion; it is a social inclusion policy.

If we add the requirement of using open-source software to achieve this, the scenario becomes even more defiant. This article uses a practical example to expose different challenges that can arise when working with spatial data warehouses and spatial OLAP.

The major challenge is to minimize the power consumption by optimizing the operation of several loads without impact in the customer's comfort. For this purpose, the design of an Energy-Efficiency Management Model using Intelligent Systems is presented in this paper. Furthermore a comparative analysis is carried out to evaluate the power consumption performance of some Demand Side Management (DSM) techniques. In this case Direct Load Control, Load Priority and Scheduled Programming techniques using Fuzzy Logic and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are compared with the proposed approach. Experimental testing is performed with the consumption data base. The testing results show that energy savings can be achieved through control of the states of various loads.","PeriodicalId":263586,"journal":{"name":"Latin American Computing Conference / Conferencia Latinoamericana En Informatica","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127324992","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}
