El mapa y el territorio: una aproximación histórico-bibliográfica a la emergencia de las Humanidades Digitales en España

Este artículo consta de tres partes: en la primera me ocupo de algunas analogías y paralelismos históricos, tales como el libro y la imprenta, que han moldeado la reflexión en torno a la tecnología digital, al hipertexto y a la interactividad. En la segunda parte mi objetivo es trazar una panorámica ordenada cronológicamente sobre los principales proyectos de digitalización (bibliotecas, archivos, corpus y ediciones de obras literarias medievales y áureas) aparecidos en el ámbito académico hispánico desde 1986 hasta 2005; por supuesto, el recuento es incompleto pero aspira a ser representativo. Por último, la tercera parte se centra en cómo ha evolucionado la relación entre estudios literarios y la tecnología digital desde 2006 hasta la celebración del primer congreso oficial sobre Humanidades Digitales en 2013.

MyTopRoom : Aplicación para Android: Buscador de ofertas de hoteles

El objetivo de este proyecto es el desarrollo de una aplicación móvil para dispositivos con sistema operativo Android que permita la búsqueda de ofertas de hotel de una forma diferente a las actuales. Para ello se ha empleado el modelo del ciclo de vida en cascada, con las fases de análisis, diseño, construcción y pruebas del sistema desarrollado. El software final sigue una arquitectura de tipo cliente/servidor y ha sido realizado con Java como lenguaje base de programación, haciendo uso de algunas librerías como Apache HTTP Request para las conexiones con el servidor remoto como las propias de Android, que facilitan la creación de interfaces gráficas y la gestión de los recursos de los dispositivos en el desarrollo de aplicaciones móviles.
