Software architects are challenged to design a framework for developers to write the software only once, but obtaining various implementations of the same application, each one developed with a different programming language. A unique roadmap and different extension-methods are relevant to add allies, to reduce the cost of maintenance and for ease the upgrading. A transpiler is a tool that allows the translation of a source code to other programming languages, so it could be used for this objective.ObjectivesTo make a comprehensive literature review of the studies on transpiler implementations and usages for transaction-oriented applications to clearly identify current works in this topic and guide future work.MethodA Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted. In total, of 550 collected papers, 170 primary studies were selected, reviewed, and analyzed.ResultsWe identified that the most common usages for transpilers are for translating sequential to parallel programming, GPU parallel execution optimizations and for compilation improvements.ConclusionThe transpilers have not been used previously for designing multi-platform transaction-oriented applications, opening this field for future research.","PeriodicalId":334574,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Third Ecuador Technical Chapters Meeting (ETCM)","volume":"82 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131318905","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}

In this paper, the feasibility of a funding mechanism that would make possible the construction of a hydroelectric project -Río Santiago- is proposed and properly assessed. The study entails a methodology to receive funds from foreign investors (one or more companies that use permanently high amounts of electricity) in exchange for constant energy supply and firm capacity over a specified period. Also, by exploiting relevant economic performance indexes and taking into account technical parameters, it is obtained the optimal option to be applied in a real need observed in the Ecuadorian Electrical System. The obtained results show generality in the application of this mechanism by representing an enhanced opportunity for large consumers of electricity in any regional electricity market and also for countries pursuing to develop their electrical generation projects.","PeriodicalId":334574,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Third Ecuador Technical Chapters Meeting (ETCM)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132385252","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}

As these devices become ubiquitous, its seamless and secure interaction becomes critical. Due to the fragmented landscape of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the difficulty of allowing a secure exchange of resources among objects, the provisioning and interoperability of smart objects is still an open problem in IoT. With this goal in mind, we developed the Ariotivity framework: an Augmented Reality enhancement for the Iotivity framework. This framework is a preliminary solution to provision and interact with smart objects by means of a mobile device. It allows users to reconfigure and control smart objects through an augmented reality application and a backend that uses open standards developed for the IoT industry. This article presents the design of our first prototype, describes its functionality and reports the ways in which it could be enhanced. Preliminary results show its feasibility and proof-of-concept through example devices, but further development is needed to be deployed in real environments.","PeriodicalId":334574,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Third Ecuador Technical Chapters Meeting (ETCM)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127200416","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}

Then, through a successive approach, it is applied an Feed-forward neural model with a learning process base on Adaline neuron with pocket in each pair of regions for finding the real root values with a reduced precision. Finally, several experiments were done consider CPU time, relative error, distance between the roots and polynomial degrees. The results show that the time complexity grows in a linear or logarithmic way. Also, the error does not increase in a higher rate than the degree of polynomial or the root distance.","PeriodicalId":334574,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Third Ecuador Technical Chapters Meeting (ETCM)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123670509","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 are interested in obtaining the complete dynamic model of the proposed rehabilitation system, in order to develop and evaluate adequate control strategies in future work. With this purpose, we present the kinematics formulation of the device and then, we derive the dynamics using two approaches, in order to validate the model; i.e. we obtain the motion equation using Lagrange approach and an algebraic method which simplifies the modeling.
