Continuity of care requires the exchange of health information among organizations and care teams. The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) establishes that subject of care should give explicit consent to the treatment of her personal data, and organizations must obey the individual’s will. Nevertheless, few solutions focus on guaranteeing the proper execution of consents. We propose a serviceoriented architecture, backed by blockchain technology, that enables: (1) tamper-proof and immutable storage of subject of care consents; (2) a fine-grained access control for protecting health data according to consents; and (3) auditing tasks for supervisory authorities (or subjects of care themselves) to assess that healthcare organizations comply with GDPR and granted consents. Standards for health information exchange and access control are adopted to guarantee interoperability. Access control events and the subject of care consents are maintained on a blockchain, providing a trusted collaboration between organizations, supervisory authorities, and individuals. A prototype of the architecture has been implemented as a proof of concept to evaluate the performance of critical components. The application of subject of care consent to control the treatment of personal health data in federated and distributed environments is a pressing concern. The experimental results show that blockchain can effectively support sharing consent and audit events among healthcare organizations, supervisory authorities, and individuals.

This dataset contains a set of anonymized and labeled HTTP requests (selected fields) from the logs of a real-in-production web server at the library of the University of Seville during 6.5 months in 2017. The dataset has been sanitized using a supervised methodology as proposed in: - Díaz-Verdejo, Jesús E.; Estepa, Antonio; Estepa, Rafael; Madinabeitia, German; Muñoz-Calle, Javier, "A methodology for conducting efficient sanitization of HTTP training datasets", Future Generation Computer Systems, vol. 109, pp. 67–82, 2020. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.future.2020.03.033.

The complexity and diversity of the technologies involved in the Internet of Things (IoT) challenge the generalization of security solutions based on anomaly detection, which should fit the particularities of each context and deployment and allow for performance comparison. In this work, we provide a flexible architecture based on building blocks suited for detecting anomalies in the network traffic and the application-layer data exchanged by IoT devices in the context of Smart Home. Following this architecture, we have defined a particular Intrusion Detector System (IDS) for a case study that uses a public dataset with the electrical consumption of 21 home devices over one year. In particular, we have defined ten Indicators of Compromise (IoC) to detect network attacks and two anomaly detectors to detect false command or data injection attacks. We have also included a signature-based IDS (Snort) to extend the detection range to known attacks. We have reproduced eight network attacks (e.g., DoS, scanning) and four False Command or Data Injection attacks to test our IDS performance. The results show that all attacks were successfully detected by our IoCs and anomaly detectors with a false positive rate lower than 0.3%. Signature detection was able to detect only 4 out of 12 attacks. Our architecture and the IDS developed can be a reference for developing future IDS suited to different contexts or use cases. Given that we use a public dataset, our contribution can also serve as a baseline for comparison with new techniques that improve detection performance.

Voice over IP (VoIP) requires a Call Admission Control (CAC) mechanism in WiFi networks to preserve VoIP packet flows from excessive network delay or packet loss. Ideally, this mechanism should be integrated with the operational scenario, guarantee the quality of service of active calls, and maximize the number of concurrent calls. This paper presents a novel CAC scheme for VoIP in the context of a WiFi access network deployed with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) that relay to a backhaul 5G network. Our system, named Codec-Optimization CAC (CO-CAC), is integrated into each drone. It intercepts VoIP call control messages and decides on the admission of every new call based on a prediction of the WiFi network’s congestion level and the minimum quality of service desired for VoIP calls. To maximize the number of concurrent calls, CO-CAC proactively optimizes the codec settings of active calls by exchanging signaling with VoIP users. We have simulated CO-CAC in a 50 m 50 m scenario with four UAVs providing VoIP service to up to 200 ground users with IEEE 802.11ac WiFi terminals. Our results show that without CAC, the number of calls that did not meet a minimum quality level during the simulation was 10% and 90%, for 50 and 200 users, respectively. However, when CO-CAC was in place, all calls achieved minimum quality for up to 90 users without rejecting any call. For 200 users, only 25% of call attempts were rejected by the admission control scheme. These results were narrowly worse when the ground users moved randomly in the scenario.

Signature-based Intrusion Detection Systems (SIDS) play a crucial role within the arsenal of security components of most organizations. They can find traces of known attacks in the network traffic or host events for which patterns or signatures have been pre-established. SIDS include standard packages of detection rulesets, but only those rules suited to the operational environment should be activated for optimal performance. However, some organizations might skip this tuning process and instead activate default off-the-shelf rulesets without understanding its implications and trade-offs. In this work, we help gain insight into the consequences of using predefined rulesets in the performance of SIDS. We experimentally explore the performance of three SIDS in the context of web attacks. In particular, we gauge the detection rate obtained with predefined subsets of rules for Snort, ModSecurity and Nemesida using seven attack datasets. We also determine the precision and rate of alert generated by each detector in a real-life case using a large trace from a public webserver. Results show that the maximum detection rate achieved by the SIDS under test is insufficient to protect systems effectively and is lower than expected for known attacks. Our results also indicate that the choice of predefined settings activated on each detector strongly influences its detection capability and false alarm rate. Snort and ModSecurity scored either a very poor detection rate (activating the less-sensitive predefined ruleset) or a very poor precision (activating the full ruleset). We also found that using various SIDS for a cooperative decision can improve the precision or the detection rate, but not both. Consequently, it is necessary to reflect upon the role of these open-source SIDS with default configurations as core elements for protection in the context of web attacks. Finally, we provide an efficient method for systematically determining which rules deactivate from a ruleset to

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) networks have emerged as a promising means to provide wireless coverage in open geographical areas. Nevertheless, in wireless networks such as WiFi, signal coverage alone is insufficient to guarantee that network performance meets the quality of service (QoS) requirements of real-time communication services, as it also depends on the traffic load produced by ground users sharing the medium access. We formulate a new problem for UAVs optimal deployment in which the QoS level is guaranteed for real-time voice over WiFi (VoWiFi) communications. More specifically, our goal is to dispatch the minimum number of UAVs possible to provide VoWiFi service to a set of ground users subject to coverage, call-blocking probability, and QoS constraints. Optimal solutions are found using well-known heuristics that include K-means clusterization and genetic algorithms. Via numerical results, we show that the WiFi standard revision (e.g. IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac) in use plays an important role in both coverage and QoS performance and hence, in the number of UAVs required to provide the service.

Drones equipped with wireless network cards can provide communication services in open areas. This paper proposes a hierarchical two-layered network architecture with two types of drones according to their communication equipment: Access and Distribution. While access drones provide WiFi access to ground users, distribution drones act as WiFi-to-5G relay forwarding packets into the 5G Core Network. In this context, we formulate a novel optimization problem for the 3-D initial placement of drones to provide Voice over WiFi (VoWiFi) service to ground users. Our optimization problem finds the minimum number of drones (and their type and location) to be deployed constrained to coverage and minimum voice speech quality. We have used a well-known metaheuristic algorithm (Particle Swarm Optimization) to solve our problem, examining the results obtained for different terrain sizes (from 25m x 25m to 100m x 100m ) and ground users (from 10 to 100 ). In the most demanding case, we were able to provide VoWiFi service with four distribution drones and five access drones. Our results show that the overall number of UAVs deployed grows with the terrain size (i.e., with users’ sparsity) and the number of ground users.

En este trabajo presentamos un sistema de gestión de citas diseñado por el Dpto. de Ingeniería Telemática de la Universidad de Sevilla para satisfacer las necesidades de profesores y alumnos. Este servicio puede ser utilizado para concertar tutorías, seguimientos de proyectos o revisiones de exámenes. Durante un año de operación del sistema hemos podido probar sus efectos positivos en el desempeño docente y el aprendizaje de los alumnos. A los alumnos, les permite solicitar una cita en un horario que a ellos les sea más conveniente y tener la certeza de que el profesor estará esperándoles (presencialmente, o telemáticamente). También les permite reducir el tiempo de espera en las revisiones de exámenes. El profesorado puede saber con antelación cuándo vendrán los alumnos y qué tema desean tratar y así tener preparada la reunión, gestionando el tiempo de forma más eficaz. Además, le permite establecer los horarios disponibles para citas de forma flexible de manera que se adecúe a su disponibilidad dinámicamente (p.ej., semanalmente). También permite evitar aglomeraciones en las revisiones de exámenes. Finalmente, el sistema genera numerosos indicadores con los que el profesor puede gestionar el proceso de tutorías e integrarlo en una estrategia de mejora continua.

We propose a novel cross-layer scheme to reduce energy consumption in wireless sensor networks composed of IEEE 802.15.4 IoT devices with adjustable transmit power. Our approach is based on the IETF’s Routing Protocol for Low power and lossy networks (RPL). Nodes discover neighbors and keep fresh link statistics for each available transmit power level. Using the product of ETX and local transmit power level as a single metric, each node selects both the parent that minimizes the energy for packet transmission along the path to the root and the optimal local transmit power to be used. We have implemented our cross-layer scheme in NG-Contiki using the Z1 mote and two transmit power levels (55mW and 31mW). Simulations of a network of 15 motes show that (on average) 66% of nodes selected the low-power setting in a 25 m × 25 m area. As a result, we obtained an average reduction of 25% of the energy spent on transmission and reception of packets compared to the standard RPL settings where all nodes use the same transmit power level. In large scenarios (e.g., 150 m × 150 m and 40-100 motes), our approach provides better results in dense networks where reducing the transmit power of nodes does not translate into longer paths to the root nor degraded quality of service.

El objetivo de este trabajo es la investigación y desarrollo de técnicas de detección de anomalías de la capa de aplicación en el tráfico de las redes de ambiente industrial, más concretamente en la detección de anomalías en el protocolo de aplicación DNP3. Se ha diseñado para ello un sistema que consta de un disector de paquetes del protocolo DNP3 integrado en la herramienta tranalyzer. A continuación, la salida del disector es procesada para identificar las variables de interés y almacenarlas en una base de datos. Las series temporales de las variables almacenadas en la base de datos constituyen el tráfico de entrada de un detector de anomalías basado en EWMA. Se han realizado pruebas de detección tanto con tráfico limpio como con tráfico contaminado. Los resultados obtenidos indican que el sistema es capaz de detectar los verdaderos positivos en el 100% de los casos y detecta falsos positivos en un 15% de las muestras., The objective of this document is to research and develop techniques to identify anomalies of the application layer in the industrial networks traffic, more specifically in identifying anomalies in the DNP3 application layer protocol. A system has been designed that consists of a packet dissector of the DNP3 protocol integrated in the tranalyzer tool. Following, the dissector output is processed to identify the useful variables and store them in a database. The time series of the variables stored in the database make the input traffic of an EWMA-based anomaly detector. Screening tests have been carried out with clean and poisoned traffic. The results reached point out that the system can detect true positives in 100% of the tests and detect false positives in the 15% of the samples.

La integración entre múltiples aplicaciones con varios proveedores de servicios web puede resultar un problema complejo en organizaciones de mediano y gran tamaño donde el parque de aplicaciones y sistemas destino con los que es necesario integrarse se multiplica.

La mayor parte de los sistemas de detección de intrusiones (IDS) operativos se basan en el uso de firmas que permiten identificar ataques conocidos. La dependencia de estos IDS con la actualización de las bases de datos de firmas constituye una de sus mayores limitaciones, siendo de interés el desarrollo de sistemas que posibiliten la generación automática o supervisada de firmas. En el presente trabajo se evalúa experimentalmente un sistema para la generación de firmas a partir de un IDS basado en anomalías propuesto en un trabajo previo. También se desarrolla y evalúa un sistema automatizado para la selección del punto de operación óptimo del generador de firmas. Los resultados preliminares de este trabajo en curso muestran que se pueden generar firmas nuevas que aumenten la capacidad de detección del IDS basados en firmas o patrones conocidos (SIDS) controlando el número de falsos positivos introducidos.

Es imposible suprimir el riesgo en un examen telemático, como también lo es en un examen presencial. De forma natural, lo exámenes telemáticos abren un mayor número de oportunidades a quién desea sortear las normas establecidas. Todos los actores deben ser conscientes de estos riesgos. Los profesores se enfrentan al desafío de implementar mecanismos de evaluación confiables, los alumnos tendrán que aceptar nuevas formas de implementar y monitorizar esta evaluación y la Universidad deberá dotarse no sólo a sí misma y a los profesores, sino también a los alumnos con necesidades especiales con la necesaria infraestructura técnica y soporte normativo. Está por ver si el coste será razonable para todos. El objetivo de este trabajo es ofrecer al profesor, especialmente de ingeniería, una reflexión sobre los riesgos inherentes a la evaluación telemática y sugerir algunas soluciones que lo ayuden a tomar una decisión bien fundada para su asignatura

Most anomaly-based intrusion detectors rely on models that learn from a training dataset whose quality is crucial in their performance. Albeit the properties of suitable datasets have been formulated, the influence of the dataset size on the performance of the anomaly-based detector has received scarce attention so far. In this work, we investigate the optimal size of a training dataset. This size should be large enough so that training data is representative of normal behavior, but after that point, collecting more data may result in unnecessary waste of time and computational resources, not to mention an increased risk of overtraining. In this spirit, we provide a method to find out when the amount of data collected at the production environment is representative of normal behavior in the context of a detector of HTTP URI attacks based on 1-grammar. Our approach is founded on a set of indicators related to the statistical properties of the data. These indicators are periodically calculated during data collection, producing time series that stabilize when more training data is not expected to translate to better system performance, which indicates that data collection can be stopped. We present a case study with real-life datasets collected at the University of Seville (Spain) and a public dataset from the University of Saskatchewan. The application of our method to these datasets showed that more than 42% of one of trace, and almost 20% of another were unnecessarily collected, thereby showing that our proposed method can be an efficient approach for collecting training data at the production environment.

This paper formulates a new problem for the optimal placement of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) geared towards wireless coverage provision for Voice over WiFi (VoWiFi) service to a set of ground users confined in an open area. Our objective function is constrained by coverage and by VoIP speech quality and minimizes the ratio between the number of UAVs deployed and energy efficiency in UAVs, hence providing the layout that requires fewer UAVs per hour of service. Solutions provide the number and position of UAVs to be deployed, and are found using well-known heuristic search methods such as genetic algorithms (used for the initial deployment of UAVs), or particle swarm optimization (used for the periodical update of the positions). We examine two communication services: (a) one bidirectional VoWiFi channel per user; (b) single broadcast VoWiFi channel for announcements. For these services, we study the results obtained for an increasing number of users confined in a small area of 100 m2 as well as in a large area of 10,000 m2. Results show that the drone turnover rate is related to both users’ sparsity and the number of users served by each UAV. For the unicast service, the ratio of UAVs per hour of service tends to increase with user sparsity and the power of radio communication represents 14–16% of the total UAV energy consumption depending on ground user density. In large areas, solutions tend to locate UAVs at higher altitudes seeking increased coverage, which increases energy consumption due to hovering. However, in the VoWiFi broadcast communication service, the traffic is scarce, and solutions are mostly constrained only by coverage. This results in fewer UAVs deployed, less total power consumption (between 20% and 75%), and less sensitivity to the number of served users.

Las tecnologías de Voz sobre IP (VoIP) han permitido el despliegue de nuevos servicios de voz a través de Internet durante las dos últimas décadas. Por otro lado, las redes inalámbricas de área local (WLAN) basadas en el estándar IEEE 802.11 (i.e., WiFi) han experimentado un crecimiento de popularidad debido a su bajo coste y flexibilidad. Sin embargo, el despliegue de comunicaciones de VoIP con garantías de calidad sobre redes IEEE 802.11 implica una serie de dificultades (i.e., los paquetes pueden sufrir pérdidas, colisiones, y retardos variables) que no han sido satisfactoriamente resueltas con las técnicas y modelos disponibles en la actualidad. En esta tesis se desarrolla un nuevo modelo analítico de la sub-capa MAC de IEEE 802.11 que permite estimar la calidad y consumo energético de las conversaciones en un escenario realista de VoIP sobre WiFi (VoWiFi). Además, el modelo anterior se utiliza para plantear y resolver dos nuevas aplicaciones de despliegue y optimización de servicios VoWiFi: (a) el despliegue de vehículos aéreos no tripulados (UAVs) para proveer de un servicio de VoWiFi con garantías de calidad a un conjunto de usuarios y, (b) un nuevo mecanismo de control de admisión de llamadas en la red WiFi corporativa y unifica el acceso al servicio tanto para usuarios de terminales cableados como inalámbricos. Validamos el modelo analítico propuesto frente a simulaciones realizadas con el simulador de red ns-3. Los resultados muestran la utilidad del modelo propuesto para predecir las prestaciones (e.g., retardo, pérdidas) y el consumo energético en la tarjeta de red cuando se transmiten flujos de voz sobre IEEE 802.11 en condiciones no ideales. Esta capacidad de predicción ha sido clave en las propuestas realizadas de nuevas aplicaciones. En el caso del despliegue de drones, nos ha permitido definir un nuevo problema de posicionamiento inicial que puede resultar muy práctico en situaciones de rescate al aire libre. En el caso del control de admisión en en, Voice over IP (VoIP) technologies have enabled the deployment of new voice services over the Internet during the last two decades. Meanwhile, wireless local area networks (WLAN) based on the IEEE 802.11 standard (i.e., WiFi) have grown in popularity due to their low cost and flexibility. However, the deployment of quality-guaranteed VoIP communications over IEEE 802.11 networks implies a series of technical difficulties (i.e. lost packets, collisions, and delays) that have not been successfully addressed by the techniques and models available today. In this thesis, we develop a new analytical model for the IEEE 802.11 MAC sub-layer that allows one to estimate quality and energy consumption in a realistic VoIP over WiFi (VoWiFi) scenario. In addition, the previous model is used to propose and solve two new applications for the deployment and optimization of VoWiFi services: (a) deploying unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to provide a VoWiFi service under guaranteed quality to a group of ground users and, (b) a new call admission control mechanism for WiFi corporate networks, which unifies the access to the voice service for both wired and wireless terminals. We validate the proposed analytical model against simulation results obtained with the ns-3 network simulator. Results show the accuracy of the proposed model for the prediction of the performance (e.g. delay, losses) and energy consumption of network interfaces when voice flows are transmitted over IEEE 802.11 under non-ideal conditions. This prediction capability has been a key component of the two VoWiFi applications developed. In the UAV deployment, it has allowed us to define a new initial positioning problem that can be very practical in outdoor rescue situations. Regarding admission control in corporate environments, the model has allowed us to predict the maximum capacity of voice flows that can be admitted in the organization to guarantee quality to existing conversations. Using this capability, we have pr

When telecommunication infrastructure is damaged by natural disasters, creating a network that can handle voice channels can be vital for search and rescue missions. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) equipped with WiFi access points could be rapidly deployed to provide wireless coverage to ground users. This WiFi access network can in turn be used to provide a reliable communication service to be used in search and rescue missions. We formulate a new problem for UAVs optimal deployment which considers not only WiFi coverage but also the mac sublayer (i.e., quality of service). Our goal is to dispatch the minimum number of UAVs for provisioning a WiFi network that enables reliable VoIP communications in disaster scenarios. Among valid solutions, we choose the one that minimizes energy expenditure at the user's WiFi interface card in order to extend ground user's smartphone battery life as much as possible. Solutions are found using well-known heuristics such as K-means clusterization and genetic algorithms. Via numerical results, we show that the IEEE 802.11 standard revision has a decisive impact on the number of UAVs required to cover large areas, and that the user's average energy expenditure (attributable to communications) can be reduced by limiting the maximum altitude for drones or by increasing the VoIP speech quality.

The unavailability of information and communication services due to network-related incidents may have a significant impact on large organizations. Network incidents can hence be viewed as a risk for organizations whose consequences are not accounted for by traditional network design problems. In this work, we address the problem of designing a reliable wired network from a risk analysis perspective. We propose a novel methodology for the quantitative assessment of the risk associated with network-related incidents in a hospital campus. We then define an optimization problem to find the topology that minimizes the network cost plus the expected loss over time attributable to the unavailability of corporate services to staff affected by network incidents. A case study illustrates our methodology and its benefits. Using available public information, we design the topology of a campus network for a large hospital where the cost of labor exceeds 200M€/year. The solution to our optimization problem is found through well-known genetic algorithms and provides a topology where network nodes with a higher impact on productivity exhibit higher reliability. As a consequence, the topology obtained reduces more than 95% (+392 000€) the expected annual lost profits when compared to common reduced-cost topologies such as the minimum-cost ring or the non-reliable minimum-cost tree, showing that investment in risk reduction pays off. Our contribution may be used by engineers to (re)design cost-effective reliable networks or by hospital managers to support decisions on updating present infrastructure based on risk reduction.

Which implementation is best for more restricted nodes and networks, which implementation supports a higher traffic flow, or which implementation allows a simpler use for testing.

La rápida evolución tecnológica que vivimos actualmente hace que las empresas no siempre inviertan el tiempo necesario en realizar un buen desarrollo software. Por este hecho, algunas empresas recurren a una auditoría software para obtener el nivel de calidad que posee el software que desarrolla. La información obtenida del análisis de calidad puede ser de gran ayuda para la empresa por lo que el análisis de calidad es un campo que sigue desarrollándose. El objetivo de este trabajo es determinar el nivel de calidad del software “Waine Tutorias”, web que será utilizada próximamente por los profesores del departamento de ingeniería Telemática de la escuela técnica superior de ingeniería de Sevilla. y proponer posibles mejoras con el fin de mejorar la calidad del mismo. Se utiliza una metodología donde se analiza cada uno de los ejes de la ISO 25010 por separado describiendo una serie de métricas en cada uno de los sub-ejes de los ejes de la ISO, mostrando los resultados obtenidos y terminando con unas conclusiones finales de las que se extraerán unas posibles mejoras a futuro. Como conclusión, los resultados obtenidos por el análisis muestran que la calidad del software es buena, siendo el eje de seguridad el eje mas resentido y el eje de mantenibilidad el eje que mas destaca. Se podría mejorar considerablemente el nivel de calidad de la aplicación web con algunas modificaciones de coste relativamente bajo. Cumplir sub-ejes como el de “no repudio” son objetivo prioritario y fundamental del software a corto plazo., The rapid technological evolution we are currently experiencing means that companies do not always invest as much time as necessary to carry out a good software development. Due to this fact, some companies resort to a software audit to obtain the level of quality that the software has. The information obtained from the quality analysis can be of great help to the company, so quality analysis is a something that continues to develop. The objective of this work is to determine the level of quality of the software "Waine Tutorias", application that will be used soon by the professors of the Telematics engineering departament of the school of engineering of Seville. and propose possible improvements in order to improve its quality. A methodology is used where each axes of ISO 25010 is analyzed separately describing a series of metrics in each sub axes of the axes, showing the results obtained and ending with some final conclusions from which possible future improvements will be extracted. In conclusion, the results obtained by the analysis show that the quality of the software is good, with the safety axis being the most affected axis and the maintainability axis the worst one. The level of quality of the web application could be considerably improved with some relatively low cost modifications. Complying sub-axes such as "non-repudiation" are a priority and fundamental objective of short-term software.

Hoy en día, con el desarrollo de la tecnología y la creación del Internet de las Cosas (IoT), es muy común encontrarnos redes que obtienen información de sensores y que, por lo tanto, necesitan ser monitorizadas. En este trabajo se describe el diseño y la implementación de un agente SNMP en una Raspberry Pi para la monitorización de sensores de temperatura y humedad conectados a la misma. Este agente se ha implementado utilizando el software Net-SNMP, gracias a su herramienta de agente extendido mediante AgentX. Para ello, se han desarrollado los programas necesarios en lenguaje de programación C y se ha definido la correspondiente MIB (Management Information Base) con el modelo de datos implementado

Actualmente, el desarrollo y uso extendido de las tecnologías de virtualización, contenedores, orquestación, sistemas embebidos de ámbito general y la computación en la nube, así como la expansión del Internet de las Cosas, Internet of Things (IoT) por sus siglas en inglés, han hecho que el uso de GNU/Linux crezca en los últimos años. Sin embargo, algunas de estas aplicaciones necesitan de versiones de Linux no estándar y especializadas. El proyecto Linux from Scratch reúne todas las instrucciones necesarias para construir un sistema operativo Linux desde cero. Dado que este proceso, más allá del aprendizaje sobre el funcionamiento interno de Linux que puede obtenerse tras una ejecución manual, resulta repetitivo y largo, el propio proyecto Linux from Scratch proporciona una herramienta de automatización que facilite esta tarea, llamada jhalfs. El presente texto analiza las características del proyecto Linux from Scratch, la capacidad de personalización ofrecida al usuario final y la herramienta jhalfs para justificar y motivar el diseño de una nueva herramienta alternativa llamada Linux from Scratch Builder. Esta nueva herramienta posee una estructura simple, requiere de la mínima intervención por parte del usuario y es capaz de construir las versiones más recientes de los libros Linux from Scratch y Beyond Linux from Scratch. Además, LFSBuilder proporciona opciones de personalización adicionales para adecuar el sistema operativo que resulta de su ejecución a las necesidades del usuario final, y ha obtenido mejores prestaciones en la comparativa de rendimiento realizada respecto a la herramienta oficial., Nowadays the constant usage and development of virtualization, containerized, IoT, and embedded technologies have bootstrapped GNU/Linux daily usage from the past few years. However, many of those use case need a specialized version of this operating system. The Linux from Scratch project provides a step-by-step instructions for building your own customized Linux-based distribution from source code. Apart from the learning experience and because this is a long repetitive process, the Linux from Scratch project developers provide users with an automation tool called jhalfs. This text pretends to analize both the Linux from Scratch project and the jhalfs tool, and its customization options to justify the development of a new alternative tool called Linux from Scratch Builder. This new tool has a simpler structure, requires a little user intervention to do its job and can build latest Linux from Scratch and Beyond Linux from Scratch versions. Furthermore, it adds a customization system so the operating system built as a result can fit the system requirements. It also showed better values on performance tests in comparison with the official tool.

A través del uso de este sistema se espera que los equipos de desarrollo de diferentes organizaciones mejoren su productividad y calidad de trabajo., In recent years, programming has acquired a main role in daily life, thus, it is one of the fundamental pillars of many companies. When a developer makes code, he’s making information and knowledge which will be used in the future short and medium term by other developers. The aim of this project is to facilitate the process of finding information to the developers in a company with an integration between a Wiki and the Integrated Development Environment Eclipse. For this, a Plug-in in Java has been developing with which is intended to offer a quick access to quality information. Each employee will be able to find a button on his IDE with which access to the Wiki, if he pushes, he will have to choose between different options and, according the decision taken, a template with the correct code will appear on the text editor. In addition, some indicators have been designed to ensure that the stored information is of quality. Through the use of our system we can hope that differents development teams will improve their productivity and quality of work.

The new capabilities of autonomous cars can be used to mitigate to a large extent safety concerns and nuisance traditionally associated with double parking. In this paper double parking for autonomous cars is proposed as a new approach to temporarily increase parking capacity in locations in clear need for extra provision when best alternatives cannot be found. The basic requirements, operation, and procedures of the proposed solution are outlined. A curbside parking has been simulated implementing the suggested double parking operation and important advantages have been identified for drivers, the environment, and the city. Double parking can increase over 50% the parking capacity of a given area. Autonomous car owners would (at least) double their probabilities of finding parking compared to traditional drivers, saving cruising time and emissions. However, significant work and technological advances are still needed in order to make this feasible in the near future.

Esta tesis versa sobre la reutilización en el desarrollo de interfaces de usuario basado en modelos. La baja reusabilidad de las especificaciones de modelos de la interfaz de usuario ha sido identificada como un posible obstáculo para la adopción del desarrollo de interfaces de usuario basado en modelos por parte de la industria. El objetivo de esta investigación es aportar conocimiento sobre la reutilización en este ámbito para mejorar la situación actual de esta tecnología. En este trabajo se propone el uso de ciertas técnicas de reutilización empleadas habitualmente en la ingeniería del software para aplicarlas al desarrollo de interfaces de usuario basado en modelos y éstas son implementadas sobre un entorno de desarrollo concreto. Este entorno de desarrollo de interfaces de usuario basado en modelos con características de reutilización potenciadas es utilizado para construir varias aplicaciones que poseen aspectos comunes. A través de este caso práctico y siguiendo un método empírico, se analiza el impacto que las técnicas de reutilización han tenido en el desarrollo de las interfaces de usuario. Los resultados son importantes: además del alto grado de reutilización general (entorno al 46,2%) se alcanzan picos de reutilización del 56,9% para algunos casos particulares y se obtiene un ahorro en el tamaño de las especificaciones del 71%. Aunque los resultados obtenidos están condicionados por el contexto (entorno de desarrollo, proyectos desarrollados, etc.) se extraen algunas conclusiones aplicables a la generalidad del desarrollo de interfaces de usuario basado en modelos

This paper introduces the potential for reusing UI elements in the context of Model-Based UI Development (MBUID) and provides guidance for future MBUID systems with enhanced reutilization capabilities. Our study is based upon the development of six inter-related projects with a specific MBUID environment which supports standard techniques for reuse such as parametrization and sub-specification, inclusion or shared repositories. We analyze our experience and discuss the benefits and limitations of each technique supported by our MBUID environment. The system architecture, the structure and composition of UI elements and the models specification languages have a decisive impact on reusability. In our case, more than 40% of the elements defined in the UI specifications were reused, resulting in a reduction of 55% of the specification size. Inclusion, parametrization and sub-specification have facilitated modularity and internal reuse of UI specifications at development time, whereas the reuse of UI elements between applications has greatly benefited from sharing repositories of UI elements at run time.

Este documento recoge el proceso de desarrollo y prueba de un IDS , que usa un sistema de notificación y consulta de alertas, basado en llamadas VoIP . Todo ello ha sido instalado en un sistema de bajo consumo y coste, como es la Raspberry Pi B+. El sistema tiene dos funciones principales: Función de notificación : Analiza el tráfico que le llega , y si detecta una amenaza , notifica al administrador mediante una llamada telefónica. Función de consulta : El administrador puede consultar la existencia de alertas de una cierta prioridad , realizando una llamada al sistema. Estas tareas son realizadas gracias al trabajo conjunto de dos módulos: Snort , es el encargado de analizar el tráfico en busca de ataques. Asterisk , se encarga de realizar ( notificación ) o cursar ( consulta ) las llamadas telefónicas. Se ha simulado una red convencional, para probar su funcionamiento.

Este documento recoge el estudio y desarrollo de una herramienta distribuida para el seguimiento de una flota de vehículos. En él, se analiza el mercado actual y se propone una solución alternativa de bajo coste para que las empresas con menos recursos económicos puedan llevar a cabo monitorizaciones de este tipo y tengan un control total sobre su inventario de transporte. Esta solución pasa por usar los teléfonos móviles de los empleados como elementos agentes que enviarán su posición de manera inteligente cuando sea necesario, evitando así el uso de localizadores GPS de uso específico que son, junto con su mantenimiento, los responsables del alto sacrificio económico que suponen otras alternativas

[ES] Este trabajo presenta los resultados de una experiencia de aprendizaje basado en problemas (ABP) con solución abierta en el contexto de ingeniería. El diseño metodológico realizado persigue la similitud con el mundo real minimizando el rechazo de los alumnos y el consumo de recursos humanos y materiales, uno de los inconvenientes a menudo esgrimidos contra el aprendizaje basado en problemas. Los resultados de tres cursos académicos demuestra que la metodología utilizada mejora las capacidades transversales requeridas en el ejercicio de la ingeniería., [EN] Este trabajo presenta los resultados de una experiencia de aprendizaje basado en problemas (ABP) con solución abierta en el contexto de ingeniería.

The automatic generation of user interfaces based on declarative models achieves a significant reduction of the development effort. In this paper, we analyze the feasibility of using two well-known techniques such as XInclude and Packaging in the new context of reusing user-interface model specifications. After analyzing the suitability of each technique for UI reutilization and implementing both techniques in a real system, we show that both techniques are suited to be used within the context of today’s existing model-based user interfaces.
