Fast pseudorandom generator based on packed matrices

Pseudorandom generators are a basic foundation of many cryptographic services and information security protocols. We propose a modification of a previously published matricial pseudorandom generator that significantly improves performance and security. The resulting generator is successfully compared to world class standards.

An optimized pseudorandom generator using packed matrices

Most cryptographic services and information security protocols require a dependable source of random data; pseudorandom generators are convenient and efficient for this application working as one of the basic foundation blocks on which to build the required security infrastructure. We propose a modification of a previously published matricial pseudorandom generator that significantly improves performance and security by using word packed matrices and modifying key scheduling and bit extraction schemes. The resulting generator is then successfully compared to world class standards.

Incorporating global positioning data in real time P2P audio/video streams for mobile devices

We propose an original method to geoposition an audio/video stream with multiple emitters that are at the same time receivers of the mixed signal. The achieved method is suitable for those comes where a list of positions within a designated area is encoded with a degree of precision adjusted to the visualization capabilities; and is also easily extensible to support new requirements. This method extends a previously proposed protocol, without incurring in any performance penalty.

Evaluating approximations generated by the GNG3D method for mesh simplification

In this paper we present different error measurements with the aim to evaluate the quality of the approximations generated by the GNG3D method for mesh simplification. The first phase of this method consists on the execution of the GNG3D algorithm, described in the paper. The primary goal of this phase is to obtain a simplified set of vertices representing the best approximation of the original 3D object. In the reconstruction phase we use the information provided by the optimization algorithm to reconstruct the faces thus obtaining the optimized mesh. The implementation of three error functions, named Eavg, Emax, Esur, permitts us to control the error of the simplified model, as it is shown in the examples studied.

Computational cost of GNG3D algorithm for mesh simplification

In this paper we present a study of the computational cost of the GNG3D algorithm for mesh optimization. This algorithm has been implemented taking as a basis a new method which is based on neural networks and consists on two differentiated phases: an optimization phase and a reconstruction phase. The optimization phase is developed applying an optimization algorithm based on the Growing Neural Gas model, which constitutes an unsupervised incremental clustering algorithm. The primary goal of this phase is to obtain a simplified set of vertices representing the best approximation of the original 3D object. In the reconstruction phase we use the information provided by the optimization algorithm to reconstruct the faces thus obtaining the optimized mesh. The computational cost of both phases is calculated, showing some examples.

P2P audio/video protocol with global positioning data in real time for mobile devices

In this paper, we propose an original method to geoposition an audio/video stream with multiple emitters that are at the same time receivers of the mixed signal. The obtained method is suitable when a list of positions within a known area is encoded with precision tailored to the visualization capabilities of the target device. Nevertheless, it is easily adaptable to new precision requirements, as well as parameterized data precision. This method extends a previously proposed protocol, without incurring in any performance penalty.

A secret sharing scheme based on exponentiation in Galois fields

To provide more efficient and flexible alternatives for the applications of secret sharing schemes, this paper describes a threshold sharing scheme based on exponentiation of matrices in Galois fields. A significant characteristic of the proposed scheme is that each participant has to keep only one master secret share which can be used to reconstruct different group secrets according to the number of threshold values.

A neural network algorithm to simplify 2D meshes

In this paper we propose a neural network model to simplify and 2D meshes. This model is based on the Growing Neural Gas model and is able to simplify any mesh with different topologies and sizes. A triangulation process is included with the objective to reconstruct the mesh. This model is applied to some problems related to urban networks.

New framework for score segmentation and analysis in OpenMusic

We present new tools for the segmentation and analysis of musical scores in the OpenMusic computer-aided composition environment. A modular object-oriented framework enables the creation of segmentations on score objects and the implementation of automatic or semi-automatic analysis processes. The analyses can be performed and displayed thanks to customizable classes and callbacks. Concrete examples are given, in particular with the implementation of a semi-automatic harmonic analysis system and a framework for rhythmic transcription.

Sistema de climatización por suelo radiante coalimentado por energías renovables

Se presenta el sistema de climatización basado en suelo radiante coalimentado por fuentes de energía renovables, que es capaz de proporcionar calor o frío. Se ha modelado una instalación genérica, que ha sido particularizada e integrada en una vivienda-laboratorio de unos 54m2. El sistema está compuesto por placas termo-solares, calentador eléctrico, bomba de calor aire-agua, acumuladores, circuito de suelo radiante y fancoil. El sistema de control está basado en un autómata que integra sensores y actuadores de diversas tecnologías que permiten monitorizar el sistema, visualizar y gestionar la instalación de forma remota y realizar un control minimizando el gasto energético. El sistema de control es reactivo en tiempo real por lo que cada vez que sucede algún cambio en el entorno se desencadenas las acciones oportunas.

Red de coordinación y seguimiento del primer curso del Grado en Ing. Sonido e Imagen en Telecomunicación (GISIT) de la Escuela Politécnica Superior

El profesorado de la red docente durante el curso 2011/12 ha realizado un proyecto coordinar las las asignaturas del primer curso del Grado en Ingeniería en Sonido e Imagen en Telecomunicación de la Escuela Politécnica Superior. Se ha realizado una puesta en común con los coordinadores de todos los cursos para realizar las recomendaciones de matriculación a los estudiantes que realizan su matricula a tiempo parcial o no superan cada curso todos los créditos matriculados. Se ha realizado un ajuste de los temarios con las asignaturas que comienzan su implantación en el siguiente curso y por otro lado una coordinación en la evaluación para eliminar las numerosas coincidencias de evaluaciones continuas, de diferentes actividades en cada semana.
