GeMMINi: Prototipado de interfaces de usuario sobre múltiples dispositivos. Una estrategia basada en Líneas de Producto y MDD

Actualmente existe una gran diversidad de plataformas, entendiendo como plataforma a la combinación de características hardware y software, donde la cantidad de dispositivos crece día a día ofreciendo nuevos escenarios de interacción persona-ordenador. Este trabajo presenta GeMMINi, una solución para desarrollar interfaces especializadas para cada tipo de dispositivo, teniendo en cuenta la naturaleza de estos dispositivos. Se propone un enfoque de desarrollo dirigido por modelos, donde, a partir de modelos abstractos de interfaz y descripciones de dispositivos, se obtienen por transformación de modelos, prototipos de interfaces específicas para cada tipo de dispositivo que serán transformadas a implementaciones nativas en la plataforma destino.Mansanet Benavent, I.; Fons Cors, JJ.; Torres Boigues, I.; Pelechano Ferragud, V.

A mobile-based solution for supporting end-users in the composition of services

The final publication is available at Springer via http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11042-016-3910-4Currently, technologies and applications evolve to create eco-systems made up of a myriad of heterogeneous and distributed services that are accessible anytime and anywhere. Even though these services can be used individually, it is their coordinated and combined usage what provide an added value to end-users. In addition, user¿s wide adoption of mobile devices for daily activities have fostered a shift in the role played by end-users towards Internet data and services. However, existing solutions to service composition are not targeted to ordinary end-users. More easy-to-use tools have to be offered to end-users to make sure that they are successfully accepted and used by them. To this end, the work presented in this paper supports end-users in the creation of service compositions by using mobile devices. We present a Domain Specific Visual Language (DSVL) for end-users that allows them to create service compositions. A tool specifically designed for mobile devices supports this DSVL.This work has been developed with the support of MINECO under the project SMART ADAPT TIN2013-42981-P and co-financed with ERDF.Valderas Aranda, PJ.; Torres Bosch, MV.; Mansanet Benavent, I.; Pelechano Ferragud, V.

Generación de interfaces de usuario para múltiples dispositivos. Un enfoque SPL basado en MDD

Actualmente los dispositivos forman parte de nuestra vida cotidiana. La cantidad de dispositivos crece día a día ofreciendo nuevas posibilidades de interacción. Junto con los nuevos dispositivos, están proliferando las tiendas de aplicaciones como una forma fácil y cómoda de instalar aplicaciones que cubran nuestras necesidades. Se puede afirmar que el negocio del desarrollo de aplicaciones esta creciendo a un ritmo alarmante en los últimos años. Pero esta proliferación trae consigo la problemática planteada a las empresas de desarrollo de aplicaciones. Actualmente, al desarrollar una aplicación, se encuentran en la disyuntiva de decidir si se abarcan todas los dispositivos disponibles, con el aumento de coste que ello conlleva, o se opta por reducir el número de dispositivos destino, viendo así reducido su espectro de negocio y por tanto sus ingresos potenciales. Esta tesis presenta GeMMINi, una solución para desarrollar interfaces especializadas para cada tipo de dispositivo, teniendo en cuenta la naturaleza de estos dispositivos. Se propone un enfoque de desarrollo dirigido por modelos, donde, a partir de modelos abstractos de interfaz y descripciones de dispositivos (especificadas mediante modelos de características utilizados en la definición de Líneas de Producto), se obtienen por transformación de modelos, prototipos de interfaces específicas para cada tipo de dispositivo que serán transformadas a implementaciones nativas en la plataforma destino.Mansanet Benavent, I.

Temperature stability in the sub-milliHertz band with LISA Pathfinder

LISA Pathfinder (LPF) was a technology pioneering mission designed to test key technologies required for gravitational wave detection in space. In the low frequency regime (milliHertz and below), where space-based gravitational wave observatories will operate, temperature fluctuations play a crucial role since they can couple into the interferometric measurement and the test masses’ free-fall accuracy in many ways. A dedicated temperature measurement subsystem, with noise levels in 10 μKHz⁻¹/² down to 1 mHz was part of the diagnostics unit onboard LPF. In this paper we report on the temperature measurements throughout mission operations, characterize the thermal environment, estimate transfer functions between different locations, and report temperature stability (and its time evolution) at frequencies as low as 10 μHz, where typically values around 1 K Hz⁻¹/² were measured.ISSN:0035-8711ISSN:1365-296
