Arquitectura de un sistema operativo web basado en sistemas multiagentes

La cantidad de sistemas, servicios y aplicaciones desarrollados para la Web ha crecido considerablemente, en algunos casos, el soporte por parte de los sistemas operativos existentes a ellos, no es el esperado. Como una solución a esta necesidad, se plantea un modelo de sistema operativo denominado SOW, el cual soporta y maneja un conjunto de servicios en un contexto heterogéneo, dinámico y adaptativo, bajo el enfoque de reconfiguración de aplicaciones. El SOW está conformado por cuatro subsistemas, donde cada una lleva a cabo una serie de funciones coordinadas, que permiten un uso eficiente de los recursos sobre Internet. En este trabajo se presenta el diseño del SOW usando Agentes, así, cada uno de los subsistemas está compuesto por un conjunto de agentes a través de los cuales se distribuyen las tareas asignadas a él.Palabras Claves: Sistemas Distribuidos, Computacion Web, Sistemas Operativos, Sistemas Multiagentes

An exploration of image recognition in archaeological starch analysis

The goal of this thesis was to produce a statistical method of assigning species to starch granules recovered from eastern North American archaeological assemblages. Starch grain analysis is an archaeobotanical tool that can be used to answer important questions about prehistoric diet and medicine use. In eastern North America this technique can be useful in tracking the spread and adoption of Peruvian and Mexican cultivars maize and beans, as well as identify the use of locally occurring starch rich plants which would have been used as food and medicines.

Congress UPV Proceedings of the 21ST International Conference on Science and Technology Indicators

This is the book of proceedings of the 21st Science and Technology Indicators Conference that took place in València (Spain) from 14th to 16th of September 2016. The conference theme for this year, ‘Peripheries, frontiers and beyond’ aimed to study the development and use of Science, Technology and Innovation indicators in spaces that have not been the focus of current indicator development, for example, in the Global South, or the Social Sciences and Humanities. The exploration to the margins and beyond proposed by the theme has brought to the STI Conference an interesting array of new contributors from a variety of fields and geographies. This year’s conference had a record 382 registered participants from 40 different countries, including 23 European, 9 American, 4 Asia-Pacific, 4 Africa and Near East. About 26% of participants came from outside of Europe. There were also many participants (17%) from organisations outside academia including governments (8%), businesses (5%), foundations (2%) and international organisations (2%). This is particularly important in a field that is practice-oriented. The chapters of the proceedings attest to the breadth of issues discussed. Infrastructure, benchmarking and use of innovation indicators, societal impact and mission oriented-research, mobility and careers, social sciences and the humanities, participation and culture, gender, and altmetrics, among others. We hope that the diversity of this Conference has fostered productive dialogues and synergistic ideas and made a contribution, small as it may be, to the development and use of indicators that, being more inclusive, will foster a more inclusive and fair world
