Lightweight compilation of (C)LP to JavaScript

We present and evaluate a compiler from Prolog (and extensions) to JavaScript which makes it possible to use (constraint) logic programming to develop the client side of web applications while being compliant with current industry standards. Targeting JavaScript makes (C)LP programs executable in virtually every modern computing device with no additional software requirements from the point of view of the user. In turn, the use of a very high-level language facilitates the development of high-quality, complex software. The compiler is a back end of the Ciao system and supports most of its features, including its module system and its rich language extension mechanism based on packages. We present an overview of the compilation process and a detailed description of the run-time system, including the support for modular compilation into separate JavaScript code. We demonstrate the maturity of the compiler by testing it with complex code such as a CLP(FD) library written in Prolog with attributed variables. Finally, we validate our proposal by measuring the performance of some LP and CLP(FD) benchmarks running on top of major JavaScript engines.

An interactive web-based learning assistant for structural analysis of continuous beams

There are significant levels of concern about the relevance and the difficulty of learning some issues on Strength of Materials and Structural Analysis. Most students of Continuum Mechanics and Structural Analysis in Civil Engineering usually point out some key learning aspects as especially difficult for acquiring specific skills. These key concepts entail comprehension difficulties but ease access and applicability to structural analysis in more advanced subjects. Likewise, some elusive but basic structural concepts, such as flexibility, stiffness or influence lines, are paramount for developing further skills required for advanced structural design: tall buildings, arch-type structures as well as bridges. As new curricular itineraries are currently being implemented, it appears appropriate to devise a repository of interactive web-based applications for training in those basic concepts. That will hopefully train the student to understand the complexity of such concepts, to develop intuitive knowledge on actual structural response and to improve their preparation for exams. In this work, a web-based learning assistant system for influence lines on continuous beams is presented. It consists of a collection of interactive user-friendly applications accessible via Web. It is performed in both Spanish and English languages. Rather than a “black box” system, the procedure involves open interaction with the student, who can simulate and virtually envisage the structural response. Thus, the student is enabled to set the geometric, topologic and mechanic layout of a continuous beam and to change or shift the loading and the support conditions. Simultaneously, the changes in the beam response prompt on the screen, so that the effects of the several issues involved in structural analysis become apparent. The system is performed through a set of web pages which encompasses interactive exercises and problems, written in JavaScript under JQuery and DyGraphs frameworks, given that their efficiency and graphic capabilities are renowned. Students can freely boost their self-study on this subject in order to face their exams more confidently. Besides, this collection is expected to be added to the "Virtual Lab of Continuum Mechanics" of the UPM, launched in 2013 (http://serviciosgate.upm.es/laboratoriosvirtuales/laboratorios/medios-continuos-en-construcci%C3%B3n)

Implementación de un cliente-servidor con Q4S basado en Javascript

Con este proyecto se busca la posibilidad de manejar la calidad de servicio de un grupo de usuarios, llevando a cabo para ello un seguimiento continuo de su conexión y los parámetros característicos de ésta. Una vez detectado un parámetro defectuoso, ya fuese por falta o exceso de capacidad, se actuará sobre la red, de modo que el usuario obtenga la calidad que le corresponda. El cuánto le corresponde a cada usuario vendrá fijado en un servidor, que al recibir el aviso de parámetro defectuoso, mandará un mensaje al controlador de la red para actuar.

Desarrollo de un sistema WEBRTC de tutorización interactiva

El objetivo de este proyecto es la continuación del desarrollo de una plataforma web bajo el sistema WebRTC que, integrada en el ámbito académico, proporcionase un servicio en tiempo real de compartición de información tanto a alumnos como a profesores. Entre esta información posible a compartir, además de mensajes y la propia videollamada que resulta la base de la plataforma, se pueden compartir explicaciones en una pizarra, videos o presentaciones que ayuden en la interacción entre los integrantes de la plataforma. Mientras que la base de la plataforma se encontraba implementada, el sistema no resultaba útil y funcional en dicho estado debido a la multitud de errores y fallos que ocurrían durante su funcionamiento en el sistema de intercambio de información entre los módulos que componen el sistema. Por ello, el objetivo de este trabajo es introducirse en esas capas, rediseñar dicho sistema de intercambio de información entre los diferentes actores que forman parte de la plataforma e implementarlo, logrando así un producto usable para un potencial cliente a partir de este punto y abierto a futuras mejores partiendo de este estado. Para ello además de la tecnología WebRTC, se han incluido funcionalidades con Javascript, Node.JS, jQuery o Socket.IO entre otras APIs. A partir de este sistema y de estas tecnologías, un profesor puede crear un aula virtual, seleccionar los derechos que les proporciona a sus alumnos en la misma y realizar una clase por dicha plataforma sin apenas diferencia a una presencial. Pero no se limita sólo a eso, sino que pueden realizarse tutorías, debates o reuniones entre compañeros de departamento para preparar asignaturas o exámenes. Lo cual genera multitud de posibilidades, no sólo en el ámbito académico, sino fuera de él, para reuniones en empresas, cursos online… En definitiva, con la base de funcionalidades ya implementada previamente y la adición del objetivo de este trabajo de fin de grado que finaliza esas funcionalidades y rediseña e implementa el sistema de intercambio de información para que la plataforma sea 100% usable sin los problemas que el usuario se podía encontrar anteriormente, se obtiene una plataforma con un gran potencial académico con la que los usuarios, bajo la base de la videollamada, podrán encontrar un ambiente de compartición de información como si estuviesen en el mismo lugar físico.

A framework for adaptive e-learning for continuum mechanics and structural analysis

This paper presents a project for providing the students of Structural Engineering with the flexibility to learn outside classroom schedules. The goal is a framework for adaptive E-learning based on a repository of open educational courseware with a set of basic Structural Engineering concepts and fundamentals. These are paramount for students to expand their technical knowledge and skills in structural analysis and design of tall buildings, arch-type structures as well as bridges. Thus, concepts related to structural behaviour such as linearity, compatibility, stiffness and influence lines have traditionally been elusive for students. The objective is to facilitate the student a teachinglearning process to acquire the necessary intuitive knowledge, cognitive skills and the basis for further technological modules and professional development in this area. As a side effect, the system is expected to help the students improve their preparation for exams on the subject. In this project, a web-based open-source system for studying influence lines on continuous beams is presented. It encompasses a collection of interactive user-friendly applications accessible via Web, written in JavaScript under JQuery and Dygraph Libraries, taking advantage of their efficiency and graphic capabilities. It is performed in both Spanish and English languages. The student is enabled to set the geometric, topologic, boundary and mechanic layout of a continuous beam. While changing the loading and the support conditions, the changes in the beam response prompt on the screen, so that the effects of the several issues involved in structural analysis become apparent. This open interaction with the user allows the student to simulate and virtually infer the structural response. Different levels of complexity can be handled, whereas an ongoing help is at hand for any of them. Students can freely boost their experiential learning on this subject at their own pace, in order to further share, process, generalize and apply the relevant essential concepts of Structural Engineering analysis. Besides, this collection is being added to the "Virtual Lab of Continuum Mechanics" of the UPM, launched in 2013 (http://serviciosgate.upm.es/laboratoriosvirtuales/laboratorios/medios-continuos-en-construcci%C3%B3n)

HTML5, Javascript and modern browser technologies: toward a web based framework for device fingerprinting

Mentre navighiamo siamo veramente certi che i nostri dati e la nostra privacy siano al sicuro? I browser e le tecnologie di cui fanno uso possono rivelare una miriade di informazioni. Al crescere delle informazioni reperibili, si inizia a superare una massa critica che può permettere l'identificazione. Il device fingerprinting è proprio il rilevamento di questa tipologia di dati. HTML5 e le nuove API che esso mette a disposizione aumentano a dismisura le modalità per fare fingerprinting. Durante lo sviluppo della presente tesi è stato realizzato un framework molto potente che verrà mostrato nel dettaglio. Come a seguito di un disastro aereo, l'ingegneria aeronautica si mette all'opera per scovare i punti deboli allo scopo di rendere più robusti gli aerei di nuova generazione, noi con la presente tesi vogliamo dare il nostro contributo al miglioramento del web del futuro. Affinchè la nostra privacy sia veramente nelle nostre mani e possiamo essere artefici del nostro domani.
