Games for educational purposes have been used in different areas as supplementary strategies to the traditional teaching-learning process. Software Engineering-applying methods and techniques for building high-quality software products-also includes games in the professional training process. In order to provide a tool for teacher guidance about their use in their teaching-learning process, several game classifications have been proposed. However, existing classifications consider the game purpose and the target audience, but they omit variables associated with the structure of the game-e.g., rules or materials. This paper proposes a classification of games for teaching software engineering considering purpose, scope, and fun components. This proposal defines the key features of any game for teaching software engineering and provides alternatives to professors for incorporating this teaching tool in their training process. The proposed classification was applied to a set of 17 games oriented to software engineering teaching, showing its potential as a support tool in the analysis, comparison, and selection of games for teaching this discipline.

Active learning comprises any process in which students are actively engaged in building understanding of facts, ideas, and skills through instructor-directed tasks and activities undertaken mainly during classes. In this paper we presented results from a comparison of two active learning strategies to teach the agile Scrum framework in the context of an introductory software engineering course. The comparison was carried out through a quasi-experiment in which participants were divided into two groups. The first group used the strategy of active reading on basic concepts of Scrum, while for the other group a game was used; representing two teaching strategies for active learning. The results gave indications at the population level that there are significant differences in the concepts learned by the members of both groups and ratifies the use of active learning strategies to teach Scrum. The results provided empirical evidence indicating that using various active learning strategies facilitates the retention and appropriation of concepts related to Scrum and offer teachers a point of reference about the effectiveness of these two strategies of active learning to teach Scrum concepts.

In this paper a model of requirements for supporting the construction of embedded systems is presented. Currently, the methodologies of Engineering of Requirements, in this field, do not let continuity in their development process, since they have a strong orientation to design stage and a weaker emphasis on the analysis stage. Furthermore, such methodologies provide guidelines for treating requirements after being obtained. However, they do not propose tools such as a model of requirements for obtaining them. This paper is the result of a research project which objective is to propose engineering of requirements methodology for embedded systems analysis. The model of proposed requirements and its use are illustrated through an application case consisting on obtaining requirements for a movement sensing system, embedded in a home alarm system.

Elicitation is an activity of requirements engineering that retrieves relevant information about the problem domain and stakeholder's needs to form the software product requirements. to evaluate the elicitation effectiveness is necessary to know and model the influence of the context in which this process is carried out. this paper presents the state of art about the requirements elicitation process, especially on how contextual factors and participants are represented or modeled. to do this, we conducted a systematic mapping of research articles and related books on any methodology or elicitation process model. The study identified thirteen proposals presenting little empirical validation. In general, these works do not include contextual aspects such as characteristics, needs and expectations of stakeholders, characteristics of the problem and solution domain, organizational culture and domain experience of analysts. This situation prompts the authors to develop, as future work, a unified model to address these issues in the elicitation and guide to requirements engineers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Formal specification is an active research field in software engineering of this century, where different configurations and techniques are employed and although their industrial use is still limited, the scientific community currently has a different understanding about its usefulness and necessity. Until present time, researchers' work focuses on the specification written during the design of the preliminary functional model, for this reason it mainly focuses on evaluating the related tools. In this paper, a literature review is performed, covering the essence, function, use and disadvantages of formal specification techniques and some assessment and evaluation criteria are analyzed regarding their weaknesses. The results become the basis for future work formulation, aimed to the strengthening of formal specification as a core research activity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper shows the design and development of an access control and interlocking system for the Molecular Immunology Center because the commercial systems installed in this center do not meet all needs. The proposed system consists of two electronic boards: the door controller and the interlock controller, both were developed based on Microchip's PIC microcontroller programmed using CCS PCW compiler. These cards are able to communicate with devices like barcode reading, proximity, biometric or any other that transmit by Wiegand protocol. They must also be configured to operate in a desired manner and therefore a software application was developed using Qt as framework, and implementing effective practices of software engineering. This application communicates with the controllers via RS232 using Modbus protocol. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent years, the software outsourcing (SO) strategy for organizations has become a useful and important alternative, as well as SO projects. SO projects have many complexities due to several factors affecting management. These complexities and importance of SO require that successfull projects meet a parameter set: budget, cost, schedule, among others. This requirement can be met through the implementation of methods and techniques of risk management (RM). RM is a process to prevent problems, establish actions to follow, and monitor the project to ensure success. Likewise, it is considered a key process in making decisions about risks. In this paper, we present a proposal for the risks identification related to software outsourcing process. Risk identification is the basic activity on which rests the success of RM process. Our proposal is a risk taxonomy of SO, consisting in a hierarchical classification structure based on the RM of SO projects. The taxonomy was validated in a study case: Project of pre-developed software acquisition. The results have been useful for the organization and for the refinement of the proposal, thanks to lessons learned. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Historically, an effective development of the Informatics Sciences Engineers' education in the Engineering and Management of Software discipline, through the participation of the students in the software industry, has not been achieved. The main causes have been the non-systemic and limited treatment of the components and the dynamics of the teaching-learning process; as well as the distinctly empiric character of its conception. At the University of Informatics Sciences, the discipline faces the problem of how to achieve a conception of the student's education that integrates the teaching and the industrial software production. As a solution, this paper exposes a systematization of the theoretical-methodological foundations that support the conception needed at the university, as well as a didactic model and strategy that allows its introduction into the educational practice.

Ontology concepts have been traditionally linked to knowledge engineering and software engineers have not applied them to solve problems of this area. It is necessary that software engineers use these ontologies, since they provide a common language, which can contribute to the solution of some common software engineering problems like difficulties in communication between the analyst and the interested person in order to define a system requirements, the low components re-use, and scarce automatic generation in code generation, among others. In this paper, a first encounter between ontologies and software engineering by means of a state-of-the-art analysis related to the use of ontologies in several phases of software development life cycle is presented.

Testing is a main aspect in quality control of software development, especially functional tests. The aim of functional testing is to dynamically verify the system behavior, based on the observation of a given set of controlled executions or test cases. Planning is required to make functional tests, defining the aspects to be checked and the way to verify its proper operation; this allows test cases make sense. In this paper (research based), we propose a method to generate functional test cases from system use cases, based on the co-financed project "Tool for Documenting Functional Testing."

In Information Retrieval Systems, Image Retrieval Systems are located; they allow generating searching and storing processes of resources through coincidences by key words or other real-time methods. This type of systems can use visual content of images (color, texture, and brightness) as indices. In addition, these systems combine different attributes to improve the processes of classification and relevance of the searching process results known as "Information Quality." This paper presents the modeling of a Image Retrieval System which combines attributes of the contentbased retrieval such as color, texture, and shape, with the Information Quality-based retrieval as updating portability and relevance frequency in the context of Digital Image Collection of Aquatic Amazon Ecosystems of Universidad del Amazonia CAPREA Research Group.

With the incoming of the massive data generation technologies in bioinformatics, the need to automate the execution of routine processes to analyze and integrate great amount of data has recently emerged. In this field, one approach is based on workflows. In this paper, specific workflow characteristics, and the functions and interrelations with all the other components of a bioinformatics platform, are discussed. As an outcome, a proposal of software architecture for a Web tool is presented, which allows the execution and functional extension of several workflow systems. Finally, we show both the implementation results of a software prototype for the tool and the execution of a proof-of-concept in a real case. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
