Implementación de un centro de operaciones de seguridad (SOC) de código abierto con elementos de red para sistemas industriales.

[ES] Los últimos años han sido críticos en cuanto a la visibilización y concienciación que supone la ciberseguridad actualmente para cualquier elemento que se pueda encontrar conectado a una red y en especial a las infraestructuras denominadas críticas llegando a convertirse en una prioridad. En este proyecto se pretende implementar un centro de operaciones de seguridad con herramientas de código abierto que abarcará desde los elementos de red necesarios para el control de tráfico hasta la interfaz de usuario donde se podrán visualizar las alertas pasando por todos los elementos necesarios para integrar estas dos (correladores, herramientas de parseo de logs, dashboards, gestión de alertas). Una vez definidos todos los elementos de necesarios para el correcto funcionamiento se procederá a montar la infraestructura necesaria en contenedores docker con la intención de que el resultado a implementar llegue de la manera más sencilla al usuario.[EN] The last few years have been critical in terms of the visibility and awareness that cybersecurity currently supposes for any element that can be found connected to a network and especially to so-called critical infrastructures, becoming a priority. In this project we intend to implement a security operations center with opensource tools that will range from the network elements necessary for traffic sniffing to the user interface, where the alerts can be viewed, through all the elements necessary to integrate these two (correlators, log parsing tools, dashboards, alert management). Once all the necessary elements have been defined for the correct functioning, the necessary infrastructure will be assembled in docker containers with the intention that the result to be implemented will arrive in the simplest way to the user.Martínez Gómez, M.

Analysis of factors involved in the teaching-learning system in a state of emergency

[EN] The present work arises as a consequence of the current situation that is being experienced worldwide due to COVID 19 and the repercussions it has had on households, especially in the adaptation to new forms of work and teaching, affecting social, economic and cultural aspects. The pandemic has hit the poor and vulnerable hardest, and could push millions more people into poverty, especially in Latin American countries. In this context, in Ecuador, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, extreme poverty is likely to increase dramatically. The study focuses on the application of different multivariate techniques, such as, Discriminant Analysis, Cluster Analysis and ROC curve,to develop a multidimensional poverty index based on non-monetary household resources such as equipment and basic services. With the combined use of the proposed techniques, an indicator was obtained that can serve as a tool for measuring the factors that can affect extreme poverty in Ecuador and it can be used to introduce continuous improvement actions in the resource assigments.Pérez Avellaneda, A.; Cueva, D.; Martínez-Gómez, M.

Efficient Calculation of the Green's Functions for Multilayered Shielded Cavities with Right Isosceles-Triangular Cross-Section

An efficient calculation of the Green’s functions inside multilayered shielded cavities with right isosceles-triangular cross-section is presented. The method is entirely developed in the spatial domain, and it is based on image theory. The idea is to use the spatial-domain Green’s functions inside a multilayered shielded square box, in order to accurately obtain the Green’s functions for the right isosceles-triangular cavity. Image theory is then used to enforce the boundary conditions along the non-equal side of the triangle. It is shown that the new algorithm is very robust, with limited computational effort. Resonance frequencies and potential patterns of a triangular cavity have been calculated and compared with those obtained by other techniques, showing very good agreement. Finally, a transversal filter inside a multilayered triangular-shaped cavity is designed, manufactured and tested using the developed technique.This work was partially supported by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science under Grant FPU-AP2006-015 and with the Project TEC2007-67630-C03-02

Evaluating E-Learning systems success to understand student’s performance during Covid Pandemic

[EN] The present work arises as a consequence of the current situation that is being experienced worldwide due to the COVID 19 and the associated repercussions on education. E- Learning has demonstrated to be the only resource capable of replacing traditional in-person learning methods in the present global gridlock due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Academic institutions around the world have heavily invested in E-Learning and it is necessary to ensure the success of E-Learning initiatives in order to make a learning model with the same guarantees of traditional models. The objective of this study is to propose and validate a model to measure the E-learning success based on different dimensions and it is an extended of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Information Systems Success (ISS), which has been empirically tested. For this purpose, an e-learning questionnaire was used in order to test academical performance with students from secondary education in València during the pandemic. Results show a significant relationship between Intention To Use for Sustainability and Students Satisfacction, a significant relationship between Students Satisfacction and Student Performance and finally a significant relationship between Student Performance and Learning Achievements.Bustamante García, E.; Martínez Gómez, M.; Berna Escriche, C.

Relevance of Skills in Total Quality Management in Engineering Studies as a Tool for Performing Their Jobs

[EN] The Spanish higher education system needs to adapt to the requirements of the European Higher Education Area and to this end, it is necessary for higher education institutions to improve the quality of university education, leading to an increase in competency-based learning activities aimed at developing the skills of graduates. Since university graduates face a large number of requirements when entering the labour market, they need to develop and constantly update the appropriate skills to carry out their work properly. This paper aims to address two fundamental questions. First, do engineering graduates need acquired skills in Total Quality Management (TQM) to perform their jobs successfully? Secondly, which job profile requires the highest level of Total Quality Management training and knowledge? We carried out different multivariate statistical analyses using a sample of engineering graduates who had been in the labour market for two years. The results show that knowledge of this type of management philosophy is necessary for adequate job performance. The job profile requiring the highest level of skills in TQM is described.Martínez-Gómez, M.; Jabaloyes Vivas, JM.; Carrión García, A. (2020).
