BPPA was proposed so that project managers can systematically estimate the functional size of a business process automation project. Thus, this article presents the execution of a quasi-experiment realized with 58 graduate and postgraduate students, who measured the functional size of three business process models. The results of this experiment present the low reproducibility and accuracy of the technique as well as its limitations.","PeriodicalId":379986,"journal":{"name":"2018 XLIV Latin American Computer Conference (CLEI)","volume":"45 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":"122215335","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 Brazil, homicide is the third leading cause of death in the general population and the first in the 15-39 age group. In South America, Brazil has the third highest homicide mortality, behind Venezuela and Colombia. To measure the impacts of violence it is important to assess health systems and criminal justice, as well as other areas. In this paper, we analyze the spatial distribution of homicide mortality in the state of Goiás, Center-West of Brazil, since the homicide rate increased from 24.5 per 100,000 in 2002 to 42.6 per 100,000 in 2014 in this location. Moreover, this state had the fifth position of homicides in Brazil in 2014. We considered socio-demographic variables for the state, performed analysis about correlation and employed three clustering algorithms: K-means, Density-based and Hierarchical. The results indicate the homicide rates are higher in cities neighbors of large urban centers, although these cities have the best socioeconomic indicators.","PeriodicalId":379986,"journal":{"name":"2018 XLIV Latin American Computer Conference (CLEI)","volume":"64 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":"115249268","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}

Considering this scenario, the objectives of this work are to discuss the ocurrency of alerts in intravenous systems and to contribute to the reduction of the emission of false alerts in electromedical equipments, in particular in infusion pumps. To this purpose, the developed proposal, called BIRB, explores the use of Bayesian Networks to minimize the occurrence of false alerts when occurs a change in the flow rate caused by occlusions in infusion pumps. The occlusion is the procedure with the highest index of false alerts in this type of equipment. The achivied results with the BIRB proposal are promising, reaching 85% of accuracy, based on data from actual infusion pumps.","PeriodicalId":379986,"journal":{"name":"2018 XLIV Latin American Computer Conference (CLEI)","volume":"24 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":"126870711","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 particular, the proposal of interaction metaphors applied to 3D environments which aim at replicating real world concepts into the virtual environment, facilitates user's interaction. The utilization of gestural interaction metaphors within a 3D environment can turn the user experience more familiar and concrete, making the training curb smaller. However, in order to apply interaction metaphors it is necessary their classification and generalization, so that they can be widely deployed in different applications. This paper introduces the development of a generic and customizable solution for the mediation of user gestural interaction (selection, manipulation and navigation) with heterogeneous rendering engines for virtual reality environments. This solution, called Gesture3DFramework, allows the users context and gesture-metaphors configuration to be easily customized so that it can be adaptable to multiple 3D virtual environments. With Gesture3DFramework, the final user (and developer) will be provided with a higher level of abstraction when it comes to the development of interactive virtual reality applications, since once the configuration directives have been described, the system will adapt itself to the specific interaction routines of the applied rendering engine.","PeriodicalId":379986,"journal":{"name":"2018 XLIV Latin American Computer Conference (CLEI)","volume":"6 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":"128118238","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 Uruguay, computer courses are increasingly being integrated into curricular content, since learning to program seems to be part of the skills needed for today's people. However, programming in general is absent in mathematics teaching, contrary to the inherent relationship of both. In turn, according to 2015 data from the Educational Monitor of the National Administration of Public Education of Uruguay, Mathematics is the least approved subject of the basic secondary cycle. MateFun is a functional programming language, accessible from a web application, especially aimed to math functions learning. It is intended that through MateFun the learning of programming strengthens the appropriation of the concept of mathematical function, at the same through this project we seek to generate scientific evidence of the transfer or the contributions of programming learning to math. Preliminary data show that the adolescents who experimented with MateFun had similar learning to the control group in mathematical functions, but they also acquired basic knowledge of functional programming.","PeriodicalId":379986,"journal":{"name":"2018 XLIV Latin American Computer Conference (CLEI)","volume":"44 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132783099","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 paper presents the results of a survey pointing out main difficulties that elderly people face when using mobile devices and proposes strategies to overcome these barriers. The research was carried out by applying questionnaires in the form of customized applications. Based on the answers, some alternatives were proposed to try to circumvent the reported difficulties and to make the elderly acquire autonomy and use their devices safely, efficiently, without frustration regardless of their physical limitations. In order to evaluate and validate the proposals, a framework was developed to make it easier for application developers to create interfaces that incorporate the proposed estrategies.","PeriodicalId":379986,"journal":{"name":"2018 XLIV Latin American Computer Conference (CLEI)","volume":"29 2 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":"132337839","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}

To test the genetic algorithm, a substation virtual environment was used where the dimensions and distances are reliable for a real environment. In order to do so, the map division strategy and the creation of individuals with variable sizes were applied.
