Wirecloud Mobile: soporte para el enriquecimiento y la visualización de mashups de aplicación en dispositivos móviles

El mundo actual es una fuente ilimitada de información. El manejo y análisis de estas enormes cantidades de información es casi imposible, pero también es difícil poder capturar y relacionar diferentes tipos de datos entre sí y, a partir de este análisis, sacar conclusiones que puedan conllevar a la realización, o no, de un conjunto de acciones. Esto hace necesario la implementación de sistemas que faciliten el acceso, visualización y manejo de estos datos; con el objetivo de poder relacionarlos, analizarlos, y permitir al usuario que, de la manera más sencilla posible, pueda sacar conclusiones de estos. De esta necesidad de manejar, visualizar y relacionar datos nació la plataforma Wirecloud. Wirecloud ha sido desarrollado en el laboratorio Computer Networks & Web Technologies Lab (CoNWeT Lab) del grupo CETTICO, ubicado en la Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros Informáticos de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. Wirecloud es una plataforma de código abierto que permite, utilizando las últimas tecnologías web, recoger la información que se quiere analizar de diferentes fuentes en tiempo real e, interconectando entre sí una serie de componentes y operadores, realizar una mezcla y procesado de esta información para después usarla y mostrarla de la manera más usable posible al usuario. Un ejemplo de uso real de la plataforma podría ser: utilizar la lista de repartidores de una empresa de envío urgente para conocer cuáles son sus posiciones en tiempo real sobre un mapa utilizando el posicionamiento GPS de sus dispositivos móviles, y poder asignarles el destino y la ruta más óptima; todo esto desde la misma pantalla. El proyecto Wirecloud Mobile corresponde a la versión móvil de la plataforma Wirecloud, cuyo objetivos principales pretenden compatibilizar Wirecloud con el mayor número de sistemas operativos móviles que actualmente hay en el mercado, permitiendo su uso en cualquier parte del mundo; y poder enriquecer los componentes mencionados en el párrafo anterior con las características y propiedades nativas de los dispositivos móviles actuales, como por ejemplo el posicionamiento GPS, el acelerómetro, la cámara, el micrófono, los altavoces o tecnologías de comunicación como el Bluetooth o el NFC.---ABSTRACT---The current world is a limitless source of information. Use and analysis of this huge amount of information is nearly impossible; but it is also difficult being able to capture and relate different kinds of data to each other and, from this analysis, draw conclusions that can lead to the fulfilment or not of a set of relevant actions. This requires the implementation of systems to facilitate the access, visualization and management of this data easier; with the purpose of being capable of relate, analyse, and allow the user to draw conclusions from them. And out of this need to manage, visualize and relate data, the Wirecloud platform was born. Wirecloud has been developed at the Computer Networks & Web Technologies Lab (CoNWeT Lab) of CETTICO group, located at Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros Informáticos of Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. Wirecloud is an open-source platform that allows, using the latest web technologies, to collect the information from different sources in real time and interlinking a set of widgets and operators, make a mixture and processing of this information, so then use it and show it in the most usable way. An example of the actual use of the platform could be: using the list of deliverymen from an express delivery company in order to know, using GPS positioning from their mobile devices, which are their current locations in a map; and be able to assign them the destination and optimum route; all of this from the same display/screen. Wirecloud Mobile Project is the mobile version of the Wirecloud platform, whose main objectives aim to make Wirecloud compatible with the largest amount of mobile operative systems that are currently available, allowing its use everywhere; and enriching and improving the previously mentioned components with the native specifications and properties of the present mobile devices, such as GPS positioning, accelerometer, camera, microphone, built-in speakers, or communication technologies such as Bluetooth or NFC (Near Field Communications).

Service for the pseudonymization of electronic healthcare records based on ISO/EN 13606 for the secondary use of information

The availability of electronic health data favors scientific advance through the creation of repositories for secondary use. Data anonymization is a mandatory step to comply with current legislation. A service for the pseudonymization of electronic healthcare record (EHR) extracts aimed at facilitating the exchange of clinical information for secondary use in compliance with legislation on data protection is presented. According to ISO/TS 25237, pseudonymization is a particular type of anonymization. This tool performs the anonymizations by maintaining three quasi-identifiers (gender, date of birth and place of residence) with a degree of specification selected by the user. The developed system is based on the ISO/EN 13606 norm using its characteristics specifically favorable for anonymization. The service is made up of two independent modules: the demographic server and the pseudonymizing module. The demographic server supports the permanent storage of the demographic entities and the management of the identifiers. The pseudonymizing module anonymizes the ISO/EN 13606 extracts. The pseudonymizing process consists of four phases: the storage of the demographic information included in the extract, the substitution of the identifiers, the elimination of the demographic information of the extract and the elimination of key data in free-text fields. The described pseudonymizing system was used in three Telemedicine research projects with satisfactory results. A problem was detected with the type of data in a demographic data field and a proposal for modification was prepared for the group in charge of the drawing up and revision of the ISO/EN 13606 norm.

The use of geographic information systems for the optimal location of biomass power plants in the Madrid Community (Spain)

This article has been extracted from the results of a thesis entitled “Potential bioelectricity production of the Madrid Community Agricultural Regions based on rye and triticale biomass.” The aim was, first, to quantify the potential of rye (Secale Cereale L.) and triticale ( Triticosecale Aestivum L.) biomass in each of the Madrid Community agricultural regions, and second, to locate the most suitable areas for the installation of power plants using biomass. At least 17,339.9 t d.m. of rye and triticale would be required to satisfy the biomass needs of a 2.2 MW power plant, (considering an efficiency of 21.5%, 8,000 expected operating hours/year and a biomass LCP of 4,060 kcal/kg for both crops), and 2,577 ha would be used (which represent 2.79% of the Madrid Community fallow dry land surface). Biomass yields that could be achieved in Madrid Community using 50% of the fallow dry land surface (46,150 ha representing 5.75% of the Community area), based on rye and triticale crops, are estimated at 84,855, 74,906, 70,109, 50,791, 13,481, and 943 t annually for the Campiña, Vegas, Sur Occidental, Área Metropolitana, Lozoya-Somosierra, and Guadarrama regions. The latter represents a bioelectricity potential of 10.77, 9.5, 8.9, 6.44, 1.71, and 0.12 MW, respectively.
