Detecting Functional Requirements Inconsistencies within Multi-teams Projects Framed into a Model-based Web Methodology

One of the most essential processes within the software project life cycle is the REP (Requirements Engineering Process) because it allows specifying the software product requirements. This specification should be as consistent as possible because it allows estimating in a suitable manner the effort required to obtain the final product. REP is complex in itself, but this complexity is greatly increased in big, distributed and heterogeneous projects with multiple analyst teams and high integration between functional modules. This paper presents an approach for the systematic conciliation of functional requirements in big projects dealing with a web model-based approach and how this approach may be implemented in the context of the NDT (Navigational Development Techniques): a web methodology. This paper also describes the empirical evaluation in the CALIPSOneo project by analyzing the improvements obtained with our approach.Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad TIN2013-46928-C3-3-RMinisterio de Economía y Competitividad TIN2015-71938-RED

An Extension of NDT to Model Entity Reconciliation Problems

Within the development of software systems, the development of web applications may be one of the most widespread at present due to the great number of advantages they provide such as: multiplatform, speed of access or the not requiring extremely powerful hardware among others. The fact that so many web applications are being developed, makes grotesque the volume of information that it is generated daily. In the management of all this information, it appears the entity reconciliation problem, which is to identify objects referring to the same real-world entity. This paper proposes to give a solution to this problem through a web perspective. To this end, the NDT methodology has been taken as a reference and has been extended adding new activities, artefacts and documents to cover this problem.Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad TIN2013-46928-C3-3-RMinisterio de Economía y Competitividad TIN2016-76956-C3-2-RMinisterio de Economía y Competitividad TIN2015-71938-RED

Compliance with Social Norms as an Evolutionary Stable Equilibrium

Producción CientíficaThis paper studies a two-population evolutionary game in a new setting in between a symmetric and an asymmetric evolutionary model. It distinguishes two types of agents: Sanchos, whose payoffs are defined by a prisoner’s dilemma game, and Quixotes, whose payoffs are defined by a snowdrift game. Considering an imita- tive revision protocol, a revising agent is paired with someone from his own popula- tion or the other population. When matched, they observe payoffs, but not identities. Thus, agents in one population interact and imitate agents from their own population and from the other population. In this setting we prove that a unique mixed-strategy asymptotically stable fixed point of the evolutionary dynamics exists. Taking as an example the compliance with social norms, and depending on the parameters, two type of equilibrium are possible, one with full compliance among Quixotes and par- tial compliance among Sanchos, or another with partial compliance among Quixotes and defection among Sanchos. In the former type, Sanchos comply above their Nash equilibrium (as they imitate compliant Quixotes). In the latter type, Quixotes comply below their Nash equilibrium (as they imitate defecting Sanchos).This study was funded by the Spanish Government (projects ECO2014- 52343-P and ECO2017-82227-P), as well as financial aid from Junta de Castilla y León (projects VA024P17 and VA105G18), co-financed by FEDER funds

Asterocheres hirsutus, a new species of parasitic copepod (Siphonostomatoida : Asterocheridae) associated with an Antarctic hexactinellid sponge

The asterocherid siphonostomatoid copepod Asterocheres hirsutus, a new species, is described from a hexactinellid sponge of the genus Rossella Carter collected during the Polastern cruise ANT XVII/3, off South Shetland Islands. The distinctive features of this new species are: a female with 21-segmented and a male with 17-segmented antennules, praecoxal endite of maxillule more than four times longer than palp and the ornamentation of the posterior surface of legs 1–4. A detailed description of both sexes is presented

A Model-Driven Approach for Business Process Management

The Business Process Management is a common mechanism recommended by a high number of standards for the management of companies and organizations. In software companies this practice is every day more accepted and companies have to assume it, if they want to be competitive. However, the effective definition of these processes and mainly their maintenance and execution are not always easy tasks. This paper presents an approach based on the Model-Driven paradigm for Business Process Management in software companies. This solution offers a suitable mechanism that was implemented successfully in different companies with a tool case named NDTQ-Framework.Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia TIN2010-20057-C03-02Junta de Andalucía TIC-578

Wikileaks y el nuevo ecosistema informativo : Wikileaks and the new informative ecosystem

nternet se ha convertido en una he rramienta rápida y útil para divulgar noticias de gran relevancia mundial, como los recientes acontecimientos políticos de Túnez y Egipto. Esa inmediatez y la ausencia de fronteras informativas evidencian un cambio en el Pe riodismo Político, ya que se pierde de vista la figura del profesional de la información, cuyo papel de intermediario entre la realidad y el público es asumido por el propio internau ta, que participa en la construcción y elaboración de los contenidos. Con el objetivo de describir ese cambio, se realiza un estudio de caso de la web de noticias Wikileaks, fundada en 2006 por el hacker australiano Julian Assange, que se dedica a divulgar informes filtrados y datos confidenciales acerca de la forma de actuar de los distintos gobiernos de todo el mundo. El trabajo propuesto parte de un estudio documental bibliográfico sobre Wikileaks, especialmente de la publicación de más de 250.000 cables reservados, que remitían las embajadas estadounidenses en todo el mundo hacia la Secretaría de Estado, lo que ha originado un autént ico ‘cablegate’, un escándalo político comparable a lo que en su día supuso el Watergate. En la parte analítica nos decantamos por un método cualitativo no experimental, centrándonos en los contenidos publicados en diarios digitales sobre el caso Wikileaks. Así se podrá afirmar que Assange y su web marcan un cambio en el ecosistema informativo. Aparece una nueva forma de hacer Periodismo en la que la labor de los periodistas de calidad parece quedar relegada a pasar la criba y situar en contexto. El reto actual que se abre ante el periodismo político es lograr articular su nueva misión dentro del panorama informativo con los tres elementos que aportan su valor añadido: ser testigo, de scifrar e interpretar la realidad que nos rodea.nternet has become a quick and usef ul tool to spread news of great global importance, such as recent politi cal events in Tunisia and Egypt. This immediacy and the lack of information borders show a change in political journalism, because it loses sight of the information professional, whose role of intermediary between actual reality and th e public is assumed by the own surfer, who participates in construction and development of contents. In order to describe this change, it takes a case study of website Wikileaks, founded in 2006 by the Australian hacker Julian Assange, devoted to disclose filtered reports and confidential datas about the modus operandi of various Governments around the world. The proposed work starts from a documentary bibliographical study on Wikileaks, particularly the publication of more than 250.000 confidential cables, that were sent by American embassies around the wo rld to the Secretary of State, which has created a true 'cablegate', a political scandal comparable to that once marked the Watergate. In the analytical part we chose a qualitative not experimental method, focusing on the content published in online newspape rs about the Wikileaks case. So you can say that Assange and his web make a chan ge in the informative ecosystem. A new way of doing journalism rises in which qu ality journalistic work appears to be pushed to sift out and put in context. The current challenge opened to political journalism is to articulate a new mission within the informative landscape with the three elements that bring added value: to witness, to decipher and to interpret the reality around us
