This essay makes a bibliographic review in the field of the seminal research of Organizational Networks, through a conceptual and instrumental analogy using an integration analysis of MaccInnis. In its development, seven different components of Organizational Networks and phenomena linked to Computer Networks were identified. By delimiting the specific configurations of each network, it is possible to propose a link between the elements of computer architecture and the field of study of Organizational Networks to support the understanding of the latter and thus contribute both to the strengthening of academic research and to the evaluation of their managerial implications in current environments of growing complexity and competitiveness.

The article "Seasonal Prediction: Evolution and New Perspectives (I)" talks about advances in weather and climate prediction in the last forty years. The importance of seasonal prediction for decision-making in sectors such as agriculture, health, and water management is highlighted. Impediments to its use are mentioned, such as the limited expertise of seasonal prediction systems and the lack of high-resolution spatial information. The historical evolution of seasonal predictions and the development of numerical models for seasonal climate prediction are also discussed. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) is promoting a transition towards objective and automatable procedures to improve seasonal prediction. [Extracted from the article]

This article aims to propose an architecture method that incorporates technological elements commonly used in the implementation of hybrid Cloud and that allows closing the gap in design aspects in solutions for companies that work in industries with regulations. Currently, the use of the public Cloud is the service with the highest growth in the market, guiding the use of on-demand services, known as XasS (All as a Service). In this scenario where data is migrating to public clouds, users are increasingly concerned about making safe use of the technology available for the Cloud, complying with their own business regulations that imply keeping the data in controlled infrastructures. To develop this research, TOGAF was used as an architecture framework. Additionally, Design Thinking and other agile tools were incorporated as modern techniques to integrate with different environments. The result is an architectural method that mainly covers security and resilience gaps in the design, achieving an open architecture method for additional integrations and whose artifacts can be reused by enterprise solution architects.

This study compares four autonomous navigation architectures for mobile robots, in order to determinate which has a greater efficiency in tasks solving. These architectures are: reactive, neuronal network, fuzzy logic and neuro-fuzzy hybrid architecture. The contrast within architectures was assessed collecting data of performance metrics based on safety, smoothness of curve (energy consumption), speed and distance. The comparison was done using the robotic platform, Pioneer 3-DX within a simulated environment of MobileSim, the official software of MobileRobot®. The collected data were statistically analyzed, generating, therefore a formal base of comparison. The outcomes of this procedure indicate that neuro-fuzzy architecture presents higher levels of security and energy efficiency in contrast with other architectures. Thus, using synergic architectures allows achieving a greater efficiency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

From the beginning, cognitive architectures, have sought to model the behavior and structure of intelligent agents considered integrated models, i.e., they are approaches where processes of reasoning , planning, learning, etc. are articulated in a unified way . The area of cognitive architectures and its application in video games has been x intensively from the beginning in recent years. It is evident that most of the work has been done ad hoc without a systematic process for specific development or in order to raise future developments. Exceptionally, some authors have proposed criteria and scales of complexity to structure a more formal and systematic way forward lines. In this article, were taken as reference two of the most important scales in the characterization of cognitive architectures that assesses the degree of artificial consciousness cognitive architectures. Using as a basis the CERA- CRANIUM architecture and it is proposed to implement the necessary mechanisms to develop extensions that allow reaching higher levels in the two considered scales. Among the new implementations performed highlights the integration of a decision-making system for controlling the operation of the bot based on SOAR who played strategy change mechanisms to recognize changes in the environment, learning from their own experience by ''reinforcement learning'' as well as a better simulation of human behavior through the implementation of some emotional behaviors inspiration. Work by proposing a method to progressively increase skills related to cognitive architectures is finished. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents an architecture for semantic context-aware recommender systems intended to be implemented on organizational settings. We described the use of this architecture in the development of the Find-It! project to validate its utility. The Find-It! project consider contextual factors to recommend people, knowledge objects, places, activities, events, technological resources and services to the visitors of an organization. The architecture defines an inference module to filter the items subject of recommendation by using different contextual dimensions that are modeled in a single ontologies, the novelty of an item, users' perception of recommendations and contextual conditions considered when they were recommended in previous visits. We also defined a mobile client interface capable to adapt to the user characteristics and device. This client interface counts with implicit and explicit mechanisms to identify the user satisfaction degree with the recommendations received and its quality. Experience obtained with the development of the Find-It! project shows a satisfactory performance. In this way, it is adequately considered to use the architecture to develop a wide range of organizational recommender systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents the architecture of a Virtual Assistant that supports the delivery of texts in languages teaching--learning processes. Two specific functions for the assistant are defined: writing and grammatical assistance. On one hand, writing assistance provides students recommendations about the type of paragraph that they want to write. And, on the other hand, grammatical assistance provides students a feedback about their mistakes in the texts that they produce. The assistant has features related with three technological elements: i) software agents, ii) virtual learning environments and iii) computational linguistics. These features allow to provide the functionalities for language processing and they provide students' recommendations about their writing processes. The main purpose of this assistant is to help the students to improve their writing skills, when they interact into a virtual learning environment. The proposed architecture was implemented in a platform called Lingweb, which is a prototype of a Course Management System for the languages teaching-learning processes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article a procedure is shown up for allowing the configuration of parameters of artificial neuronal network architecture of Radial Basis for failure diagnosis tasks after stablishing a logical order for their selection. Such procedure guarantees the procurance of a necessary number of hidden neurons starting from fixing the diagnosis error desired by the experts for each process, also allowing the selection of the method for esteeming the widths of the hidden neurons and the equation of distance for the propagation of the inlets vector. The procedure applies to the testing process of “Reactor Tank Constantly Agitated" searching to demonstrate its effectiveness. As a result of the realized experiments, it is confirmed that within the topology of the Radial Basis net, the calculation of the centers and widths of the hidden neurons intervene decisively in its execution, as well as the fixed-distance equation, but the election of the function of distance does not act on the selection of the method for esteeming the widths. It is verified that this architecture, with the adequate training, shows good properties of sensibility and robustness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Business Process Management (BPM acronym) covers a set of concepts, methods, techniques and software tools that support the business processes life cycle in an organization: BPM cycle. Its purpose is to facilitate the creation of value for better performance and efficiency. The development of BPM solutions represents a complex task, involving multidisciplinary factors, enterprise-class factors and technological. Dissimilar authors and tool's vendors have defined their own cycle, procedure or guidance to address such initiatives. Oracle proposes a reference architecture with a wide variety of interrelated components. Distinguish which of them are the most suitable for the design and implementation of a BPM solution, as well as important elements to consider for success, are beyond the scope of the technical instructions for these tools. The objective of this paper was to establish a procedure for the development of BPM solutions with Oracle and generalize common elements that can be applied on projects with other technologies. The research was based on a literature review of similar jobs and the experience gained in the development of BPM projects in the Polytechnic Institute José Antonio Echeverría during the period 2011-2012 with the tool BizAgi. The results obtained provide a mechanism that guides and facilitates the assimilation, incorporation and maintenance of BPM paradigm in an institution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It is presented the diagnosis of the knowledge of a community of practice, in the information systems domain. The community is composed by individuals of two firms, who have decided to join forces for designing a new consulting service. The service vision is to impact on organizational management systems, based on Information Technology capabilities. The main goal of the diagnosis is to evaluate the systemic approach of the community's thinking. In order to accomplish such goal, an instrument was designed, having as foundation the ontological dimension of individual and inter-organizational knowledge. The diagnosis results proved that both firms have different and non-systemic conceptualizations about the enterprise architecture concept; none of them conceive the enterprise architecture concept as a basis for the design of information systems aligned to the business strategy. The diagnosis conclusion is that the differences in conceptualizations compromise the firms' capabilities to interact and innovate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
