The recent continuous development of Cooperative ITS has resulted in several initiatives which focus on different parts of the Cooperative environment landscape. The FOTsis project focuses on the infrastructure side of the Cooperative environment and will deploy and test 7 services designed to maximise the benefits of the integration of the road operator and infrastructure-based information providers into the ITS environment. This integration can take place in any of the stages of data collection, processing and actuations of the services, but also support and trigger external tasks such as operations of the emergency response entities, etc. This paper describes the current status of the project and focuses on the specification of the supporting architecture to the services tested: references, a brief outline of the requirements’ definition, and the FOTsis architecture proposal, with some conclusions about the architecture tests conducted. The outlook on the project’s next steps is given in the last section of the paper.

The definition of technical specifications and the corresponding laboratory procedures are necessary steps in order to assure the quality of the devices prior to be installed in Solar Home Systems (SHS). To clarify and unify criteria a European project supported the development of the Universal Technical Standard for Solar Home Systems (UTSfSHS). Its principles were to generate simple and affordable technical requirements to be optimized in order to facilitate the implementation of tests with basic and simple laboratory tools even on the same SHS electrification program countries. These requirements cover the main aspects of this type of installations and its lighting chapter was developed based on the most used technology at that time: fluorescent tubes and CFLs. However, with the consolidation of the new LED solid state lighting devices, particular attention is being given to this matter and new procedures are required. In this work we develop a complete set of technical specifications and test procedures that have been designed within the frame of the UTSfSHS, based on an intense review of the scientific and technical publications related to LED lighting and their practical application. They apply to lamp reliability, performance and safety under normal, extreme and abnormal operating conditions as a simple but complete quality meter tool for any LED bulb.

El importante desarrollo tecnológico e industrial surgido especialmente durante la segunda mitad del siglo pasado ha eliminado las históricas limitaciones técnicas en el ámbito de los pro-­? yectos arquitectónicos, desembocando en la situación actual en la que cualquier planteamiento formal puede ser analizado desde un punto de vista estructural, concluyéndose por tanto que ha desaparecido la barrera del análisis en lo que al desarrollo de un proyecto arquitectónico se refiere. En la actualidad, al igual que a finales del siglo XIX, nos encontramos en un periodo de transi-­? ción, y también, como entonces, es la tecnología la que orienta el cambio. No la tecnología de los nuevos materiales (hormigón y acero) como sucedía tras la revolución industrial sino que es la nueva tecnología digital aplicada a los sistemas de diseño, cálculo y fabricación la que están siendo el motor de la actual transformación. Hoy no es tanto el paradigma mecanicista el que prevalece en muchos casos en la concepción de los edificios sino que, nuevos elementos como la tecnología digital integrada está cambiando la forma de diseñar y concebir el entorno cons-­? truido. Ante este contexto cabría plantearse las siguientes cuestiones: ¿Puede el diseño paramétrico y la tecnología CAD-­?CAM-­?CAE en conjunción con los programas actuales de análisis estructural basados en el Método de los Elementos Finitos hacer más sencilla la construcción de estructu-­? ras ligeras y eficientes hoy en día? ¿Puede la tecnología digital ayudar a ampliar el abanico for-­? mal a la hora de diseñar edificios y a la vez permitir el uso de sistemas estructurales racionales que optimicen el consumo de materiales bajo dichas circunstancias?

En la actualidad existe una gran expectación ante la introducción de nuevas herramientas y métodos para el desarrollo de productos software, que permitirán en un futuro próximo un planteamiento de ingeniería del proceso de producción software. Las nuevas metodologías que empiezan a esbozarse suponen un enfoque integral del problema abarcando todas las fases del esquema productivo. Sin embargo el grado de automatización conseguido en el proceso de construcción de sistemas es muy bajo y éste está centrado en las últimas fases del ciclo de vida del software, consiguiéndose así una reducción poco significativa de sus costes y, lo que es aún más importante, sin garantizar la calidad de los productos software obtenidos. Esta tesis define una metodología de desarrollo software estructurada que se puede automatizar, es decir una metodología CASE. La metodología que se presenta se ajusta al modelo de ciclo de desarrollo CASE, que consta de las fases de análisis, diseño y pruebas; siendo su ámbito de aplicación los sistemas de información. Se establecen inicialmente los principios básicos sobre los que la metodología CASE se asienta. Posteriormente, y puesto que la metodología se inicia con la fijación de los objetivos de la empresa que demanda un sistema informático, se emplean técnicas que sirvan de recogida y validación de la información, que proporcionan a la vez un lenguaje de comunicación fácil entre usuarios finales e informáticos. Además, estas mismas técnicas detallarán de una manera completa, consistente y sin ambigüedad todos los requisitos del sistema. Asimismo, se presentan un conjunto de técnicas y algoritmos para conseguir que desde la especificación de requisitos del sistema se logre una automatización tanto del diseño lógico del Modelo de Procesos como del Modelo de Datos, validados ambos conforme a la especificación de requisitos previa. Por último se definen unos procedimientos formales que indican el conjunto de actividades a realizar en el proceso de construcción y cómo llevarlas a cabo, consiguiendo de esta manera una integridad en las distintas etapas del proceso de desarrollo.---ABSTRACT---Nowdays there is a great expectation with regard to the introduction of new tools and methods for the software products development that, in the very near future will allow, an engineering approach in the software development process. New methodologies, just emerging, imply an integral approach to the problem, including all the productive scheme stages. However, the automatization degree obtained in the systems construction process is very low and focused on the last phases of the software lifecycle, which means that the costs reduction obtained is irrelevant and, which is more important, the quality of the software products is not guaranteed. This thesis defines an structured software development methodology that can be automated, that is a CASE methodology. Such a methodology is adapted to the CASE development cycle-model, which consists in analysis, design and testing phases, being the information systems its field of application. Firstly, we present the basic principies on which CASE methodology is based. Secondly, since the methodology starts from fixing the objectives of the company demanding the automatization system, we use some techniques that are useful for gathering and validating the information, being at the same time an easy communication language between end-users and developers. Indeed, these same techniques will detail completely, consistently and non ambiguously all the system requirements. Likewise, a set of techniques and algorithms are shown in order to obtain, from the system requirements specification, an automatization of the Process Model logical design, and of the Data Model logical design. Those two models are validated according to the previous requirement specification. Finally, we define several formal procedures that suggest which set of activities to be accomplished in the construction process, and how to carry them out, getting in this way integrity and completness for the different stages of the development process.

La fragmentación espacial de una ciudad, que será el principal enfoque de la presente Tesis, ocurre cuando una entidad pequeña se ve obligada a adecuar sus relaciones ante la inminente presencia de un entorno urbano de mayor peso que se aproxima y densifica. Este tipo de fragmentación se analizará tomando en cuenta tres factores (especulación, desorganización y falta de protección) que moldean el desarrollo de procesos urbanísticos modernos en las grandes metrópolis Latinoamericanas, particularmente en la Ciudad de México. La Ciudad de México tuvo un desarrollo altamente competitivo, que ha sido también el catalizador de un largo y sostenido crecimiento urbano. Con el pasar del tiempo, la capital ha sobrepasado las expectativas de los más visionarios. El estudio detallado del asentamiento de Tacubaya (el cual conforma una parte dinámica de la Ciudad de México), permitirá al lector evaluar el extravagante crecimiento que ocurre en la Ciudad de México y los asentamientos que lo rodean, en la primera mitad del siglo XX. Tacubaya, así como muchos de los pequeños poblados preexistentes que se ubicaban en las afueras de la gran urbe, fue alcanzado y engullido por la mancha urbana, sufriendo importantes cambios en su núcleo urbano. Sin embargo, partes de esta antigua centralidad han persistido junto con una parte de los elementos urbanos que la estructuraban; monumentos y riquezas históricas, los cuales han facilitado la reinvención de su centro urbano, sobreviviendo tanto a los abates del tiempo como a las oleadas de nuevos pobladores. El lugar que permanece es un centro urbano sumamente fragmentado, permeado por: una incesante superposición de tejidos y elementos estructuradores olvidados, poblaciones flotantes y de paso que desestabilizan las zonas residenciales, estratos sociales cada vez más apartados. Pensaríamos que las circunstancias que envuelven la demarcación la han dejado en caos, sin embargo, para la sorpresa de muchos, Tacubaya se sigue adaptando a pesar de todos los obstáculos. ABSTRACT In urbanism, the type of spatial fragmentation, that will be the main focus of this Thesis, occurs when a stronger and denser environment takes over a smaller entity, forcing it to adapt its functional relations. This type of fragmentation will be analyzed taking into account three specific factors (speculation, disorganization, and lack of protection) that mold the development of modern urbanistic processes in large Latin American cities, particularly in Mexico City. Mexico City had a highly competitive and bright development, which served as catalyst in a long and sustained urban growth. With the passing of time, the capital has outgrown the measures, previsions and administrative limits created by the government and its visionaries. The detailed study of the Tacubaya settlement (which conforms a vibrant part of Mexico City) will allow the reader to appreciate the exceptional and rare growth that occurs in Mexico City and in the settlements that surround it, in the first half of the 20th century. Tacubaya as well as many other small preexisting settlements located on the outskirts of the city, has been engulfed by the urban expansion suffering important changes in its urban core. Parts of the ancient centrality have persisted along with its structural urban elements, due mainly to monuments and other historical entities that have facilitated the reinvention of the downtown area, helping it survive not only the passing of time, but also the incrementing population. The city that now exists is fragmented beyond recognition. Tacubaya is permeated by an endless fabric overlay created by forgotten structural elements, floating populations that affect the residential zones, and a polarized society that diverges with every passing day. We may think that the circumstances that surround the city have left it in shambles; however, to the surprise of many, Tacubaya is still adapting in spite of all the obstacles.

The conception of IoT (Internet of Things) is accepted as the future tendency of Internet among academia and industry. It will enable people and things to be connected at anytime and anyplace, with anything and anyone. IoT has been proposed to be applied into many areas such as Healthcare, Transportation,Logistics, and Smart environment etc. However, this thesis emphasizes on the home healthcare area as it is the potential healthcare model to solve many problems such as the limited medical resources, the increasing demands for healthcare from elderly and chronic patients which the traditional model is not capable of. A remarkable change in IoT in semantic oriented vision is that vast sensors or devices are involved which could generate enormous data. Methods to manage the data including acquiring, interpreting, processing and storing data need to be implemented. Apart from this, other abilities that IoT is not capable of are concluded, namely, interoperation, context awareness and security & privacy. Context awareness is an emerging technology to manage and take advantage of context to enable any type of system to provide personalized services. The aim of this thesis is to explore ways to facilitate context awareness in IoT. In order to realize this objective, a preliminary research is carried out in this thesis. The most basic premise to realize context awareness is to collect, model, understand, reason and make use of context. A complete literature review for the existing context modelling and context reasoning techniques is conducted. The conclusion is that the ontology-based context modelling and ontology-based context reasoning are the most promising and efficient techniques to manage context. In order to fuse ontology into IoT, a specific ontology-based context awareness framework is proposed for IoT applications. In general, the framework is composed of eight components which are hardware, UI (User Interface), Context modelling, Context fusion, Context reasoning, Context repository, Security unit and Context dissemination. Moreover, on the basis of TOVE (Toronto Virtual Enterprise), a formal ontology developing methodology is proposed and illustrated which consists of four stages: Specification & Conceptualization, Competency Formulation, Implementation and Validation & Documentation. In addition, a home healthcare scenario is elaborated by listing its well-defined functionalities. Aiming at representing this specific scenario, the proposed ontology developing methodology is applied and the ontology-based model is developed in a free and open-source ontology editor called Protégé. Finally, the accuracy and completeness of the proposed ontology are validated to show that this proposed ontology is able to accurately represent the scenario of interest.

La reproducibilidad de estudios y resultados científicos es una meta a tener en cuenta por cualquier científico a la hora de publicar el producto de una investigación. El auge de la ciencia computacional, como una forma de llevar a cabo estudios empíricos haciendo uso de modelos matemáticos y simulaciones, ha derivado en una serie de nuevos retos con respecto a la reproducibilidad de dichos experimentos. La adopción de los flujos de trabajo como método para especificar el procedimiento científico de estos experimentos, así como las iniciativas orientadas a la conservación de los datos experimentales desarrolladas en las últimas décadas, han solucionado parcialmente este problema. Sin embargo, para afrontarlo de forma completa, la conservación y reproducibilidad del equipamiento computacional asociado a los flujos de trabajo científicos deben ser tenidas en cuenta. La amplia gama de recursos hardware y software necesarios para ejecutar un flujo de trabajo científico hace que sea necesario aportar una descripción completa detallando que recursos son necesarios y como estos deben de ser configurados. En esta tesis abordamos la reproducibilidad de los entornos de ejecución para flujos de trabajo científicos, mediante su documentación usando un modelo formal que puede ser usado para obtener un entorno equivalente. Para ello, se ha propuesto un conjunto de modelos para representar y relacionar los conceptos relevantes de dichos entornos, así como un conjunto de herramientas que hacen uso de dichos módulos para generar una descripción de la infraestructura, y un algoritmo capaz de generar una nueva especificación de entorno de ejecución a partir de dicha descripción, la cual puede ser usada para recrearlo usando técnicas de virtualización. Estas contribuciones han sido aplicadas a un conjunto representativo de experimentos científicos pertenecientes a diferentes dominios de la ciencia, exponiendo cada uno de ellos diferentes requisitos hardware y software. Los resultados obtenidos muestran la viabilidad de propuesta desarrollada, reproduciendo de forma satisfactoria los experimentos estudiados en diferentes entornos de virtualización. ABSTRACT Reproducibility of scientific studies and results is a goal that every scientist must pursuit when announcing research outcomes. The rise of computational science, as a way of conducting empirical studies by using mathematical models and simulations, have opened a new range of challenges in this context. The adoption of workflows as a way of detailing the scientific procedure of these experiments, along with the experimental data conservation initiatives that have been undertaken during last decades, have partially eased this problem. However, in order to fully address it, the conservation and reproducibility of the computational equipment related to them must be also considered. The wide range of software and hardware resources required to execute a scientific workflow implies that a comprehensive description detailing what those resources are and how they are arranged is necessary. In this thesis we address the issue of reproducibility of execution environments for scientific workflows, by documenting them in a formalized way, which can be later used to obtain and equivalent one. In order to do so, we propose a set of semantic models for representing and relating the relevant information of those environments, as well as a set of tools that uses these models for generating a description of the infrastructure, and an algorithmic process that consumes these descriptions for deriving a new execution environment specification, which can be enacted into a new equivalent one using virtualization solutions. We apply these three contributions to a set of representative scientific experiments, belonging to different scientific domains, and exposing different software and hardware requirements. The obtained results prove the feasibility of the proposed approach, by successfully reproducing the target experiments under different virtualization environments.

La presente tesis estudia los rosetones románicos de la ciudad de Zamora. La elección del tema tiene como objetivo profundizar en el conocimiento de estos elementos ya que la información existente sobre ellos es muy escasa. El análisis de estos rosetones se ha realizado desde una perspectiva globalizadora que abarca aspectos tales como los geográficos, morfológicos, funcionales, compositivos, constructivos, geométricos, ornamentales, otros. Así mismo, para el desarrollo de esta investigación se ha considerado necesario el estudio de temas históricos, estilísticos, simbólicos, religiosos, culturales, etc., que aportan el marco contextual que permiten su mejor entendimiento. El estudio de cada rosetón ha permitido implementar y desarrollar un método de trabajo analítico basado en el estudio particular de una serie de aspectos como los anteriormente mencionados, así como plantear una estrategia que permite la reconstitución gráfica de los rosetones, basándose en un sistema de módulos que facilitan trabajar de acuerdo a las proporciones de los elementos; hecho que permite acercarnos con gran exactitud a la representación del objeto real cuando se carece de medidas. El desarrollo de esta investigación ha llevado a establecer entre otras cosas que la definición de “ventana circular” que se le atribuye a los rosetones románicos no es acertada, puesto que la función que cumplen en el edificio religioso es más bien de carácter simbólico. ABSTRACT This thesis studies the Romanesque rose windows of the Zamora city. The choice of topic is intended to deepen the knowledge of these elements as the existing information about them is very scarce. The analysis of these rose windows was made from a global perspective covering aspects such as geographic, morphological, functional, compositional, construction, geometric, ornamental, other. Also, for the development of this research it was considered necessary to study historical, stylistic, symbolic, religious, cultural issues, etc., that provide the contextual framework that allow for better understanding. The study of each rose windows has allowed implement and develop a method of analytical work based on the particular study a number of issues such as those mentioned above, as well as devise a strategy that allows the graphic reconstitution of the rose windows, based on a system of modules facilitate work according to the proportions of the elements; made with great precision approach allows the representation of the real thing when it lacks measures. The development of this research has led to establish among other things that the definition of "circular window" that is attributed to the Romanesque rose windows is not successful because the role in the religious building is rather symbolic.
