To this end, we propose a solution based on techniques that stem from automated retrieval of information about vulneratilities from the above sources, userdefined preferences regarding their technological environment and intelligent vulnerability tagging.

The proposed methodology is based on the sequencing of virus proteins and that, through the incorporation of mutations in silico, which are then computationally reconstructed using an enumerative feasibility algorithm validated by the Ramachandran diagram and structural alignment, in addition to the subsequent study of structural stability through classical molecular dynamics. From the resulting structure to the ACE2-RBD complex, the valid solution presented 97.06% of the residues in the most favorable region while the reference crystallographic structure presented 95.0%, a difference therefore very small and revealing the great consistency of the developed algorithm. Another important result was the low RMSD alignment between the best solution by the BP algorithm and the reference structure, where we obtained 0.483Å. Finally, the molecular dynamics indicated greater structural stability in the ACE2-RBD interaction with the P.1 strain, which could be a plausible explanation for convergent evolution that provides an increase in the interaction affinity with the ACE2 receptor.","PeriodicalId":6803,"journal":{"name":"2021 XLVII Latin American Computing Conference (CLEI)","volume":"6 1","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74377309","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}

Compliance requirements add specific control elements to process execution, e.g. domain and/or country regulations to be fulfilled, enforcing order of interaction messages or activities, or security checks on roles and permissions. As the amount of available data in organizations grows everyday, using execution data to detect compliance violations and its causes, can help organizations to take corrective actions for improving their processes and comply to applying rules. Compliance requirements violations can be detected at runtime to prevent further execution, or in a post mortem way using Process Mining to evaluate process execution data against the specified compliance requirements for the process. In this paper we present a BP compliance Requirements Model (BPCRM) defining generic compliance controls that can be used to specify specific compliance requirements over BPs, that are used as input to assess compliance violations with process mining. This model can be seen as a catalogue that includes a set of predefined compliance rules or patterns in one place, helping organizations to specify and evaluate the compliance of their processes.","PeriodicalId":6803,"journal":{"name":"2021 XLVII Latin American Computing Conference (CLEI)","volume":"19 1","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75352461","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}

Getting an approximation of the number of patients attending the department can assist in service resources planning and prevent overcrowding. In this manuscript we present the forecasting results for the admissions, inpatients and discharges series in ED by using different time aggregations (eight hours, twelve hours, one day and the service workers official shifts) and classical time series algorithms. Moreover, series forecasting is performed in two terms: long (four months ahead) and short (seven days ahead). The results show that time aggregations strongly influence the forecast quality, decreasing the effectiveness for one-day aggregations. In addition, best metrics are not obtained in the same aggregation, so there is no best aggregation for all cases. Therefore, it is essential to analyse the ED-related problem faced for the time aggregation selection.","PeriodicalId":6803,"journal":{"name":"2021 XLVII Latin American Computing Conference (CLEI)","volume":"37 1","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80914730","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}

Several countries took various measures to prevent the saturation of the health system, ranging from closure of restaurants and suspension of classes to nighttime traffic restrictions. In this paper, we explore the effect of mobility restriction measures on the infection incidence in countries that are in some way similar to Uruguay: they have between one and twelve million inhabitants, a reasonable testing effort and they had the epidemic under control at some point. For these countries, we study mobility indexes provided by Google, an index on governmental measures compiled by the University of Oxford, and the daily new cases per 100,000 inhabitants. First, we observed that the mobility reported by Google is directly related to government measures: the higher the level of restrictive measures, the lower the mobility index. Then, we analyze the influence of mobility reduction on the growth/decrease speed of the 7-day average of new cases per 100,000 inhabitants (P7) and show that high levels of mobility reduction lead to a decrease in the index. Finally, we related the required duration of mobility restrictions with the P7 maximum and also point out the risk of lifting the measures too early.","PeriodicalId":6803,"journal":{"name":"2021 XLVII Latin American Computing Conference (CLEI)","volume":"6 1","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78636159","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}

The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is one of the data models supported by graph databases, and SPARQL is the standard query language for RDF graphs. These databases are also known as RDF triplestores. Many triplestores are implemented over the relational data model, using tables to store graphs and translating SPARQL queries into SQL queries, and this approach can lead to unnecessary overheads. On the other hand, in the context of High- Performance Computing (HPC), implementations over hybrid hardware platforms using Numerical Linear Algebra (NLA) operations have become an effective and efficient computing strategy in the last decade. In particular, Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) have been adopted to perform general-purpose computations due to their high performance, reasonable prices, and an attractive relationship between computing capacity and energy consumption. In the context described above, this paper presents an initial study on the efficient implementation of a set of SPARQL queries in terms of NLA operations. Additionally, we evaluate the performance of implementing these operations on GPUs.","PeriodicalId":6803,"journal":{"name":"2021 XLVII Latin American Computing Conference (CLEI)","volume":"59 1","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80534155","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}
