Characterization and Classification of Collaborative Tools

Traditionally, collaboration has been a means for organizations to do their work. However, the context in which they do this work is changing, especially in regards to where the work is done, how the work is organized, who does the work, and with this the characteristics of collaboration. Software development is no exception; it is itself a collaborative effort that is likewise affected by these changes. In the context of both open source software development projects and communities and organizations that develop corporate products, more and more developers need to communicate and liaise with colleagues in geographically distant places about the software product they are conceiving, designing, building, testing, debugging, deploying and maintaining. Thus, work teams face sizeable collaborative challenges, for which they have need of tools that they can use to communicate and coordinate their Work efficiently

Collaborative Development within Open Source Communities

Open source communities are one of the most successful-- and least appreciated--examples of high-performance collaboration and community building on the Internet today. Open source communities began as loosely organized, ad-hoc communities of contributors from all over the world who shared an interest in meeting a common need. However, the organization of these communities has proven to be very flexible and capable of carrying out all kind of developments, ranging from minor projects to huge programs such as Apache (Höhn, & Herr, 2004; Mockus, Fielding, & Herbsleb, 2005

Enabling Semantics-Aware Collaborative Tagging and Social Search in an Open Interoperable Tagosphere

To make the most of a global network effect and to search and filter the Long Tail, a collaborative tagging approach to social search should be based on the global activity of tagging, rating and filtering. We take a further step towards this objective by proposing a shared conceptualization of both the activity of tagging and the organization of the tagosphere in which tagging takes place. We also put forward the necessary data standards to interoperate at both data format and semantic levels. We highlight how this conceptualization makes provision for attaching identity and meaning to tags and tag categorization through a Wikipedia-based collaborative framework. Used together, these concepts are a useful and agile means of unambiguously defining terms used during tagging, and of clarifying any vague search terms. This improves search results in terms of recall and precision, and represents an innovative means of semantics-aware collaborative filtering and content ranking

The Morfeo Open Source Community: Building Technologies of the Future Web through Open Innovation

Nowadays enterprise collaboration is becoming essential for valuable innovation and competitive advantage. This collaboration has to be brought a step forward from technical collaboration till collective smart exploitation of global intelligence. Morfeo Open Source Community implements it as an open innovation schema of collaboration among SME’s, universities, research centres, public administration and major corporations. Its disruptive contribution to the state of the art is to manage the collaboration licensing the shared technology as open, with an OSI accepted license. The main results of this innovation model are the development of SOA open software standards, the increase of OSS quality, the creation of an OSS services provider ecosystem, with an important impact in the local economical development and the dissemination of the R&D&i activities among a broader set of organizations. Now Morfeo, with established relationship in Spain and EU, is involved defining new cooperation schemas in Ibero-America. The aim is to define a network of Morfeo Office in several countries to coordinate the global communit

Avances en la validación de un programa de reducción de estereotipos y prejuicios en personas mayores

As older adults have shown more problems to inhibit stereotyping and prejudice, the need to develop programs to reduce intergroup bias is more urgent in the advanced life stage. Our aim is to validation a multimedia application to improve the self-regulation of older people behaviour, and to evaluate the impact of potentially modulating variables of the intervention and its effects on prejudice. The intervention was aimed at reducing implicit prejudice and stereotyping, and explicit prejudice. Results of the multimedia application show the effectiveness of values as a modulating variable in the reduction of automatic prejudice levels.Las personas mayores han demostrado tener dificultad para inhibir estereotipos y prejuicios y es por ello que existe una necesidad creciente de desarrollar programas que reduzcan el sesgo intergrupal en las etapas avanzadas de la vida. En este trabajo se exponen los avances en la validación de la aplicación multimedia para mejorar la autorregulación de la conducta en personas mayores. La intervención tiene como objetivo reducir el prejuicio implícito y el estereotipo, así como el prejuicio explícito. Los resultados de la aplicación multimedia muestran su validación como medio y la efectividad de los valores como variable moduladora en la reducción de los niveles automáticos de prejuicio

Metodología de la programación

Este manual de Metodología de la programación está diseñado para ofrecer al alumno los contenidos necesarios para aprovechar con éxito un curso introductorio sobre los dos principales paradigmas de programación avanzada: la programación orientada a objetos y la programación orientada a eventos. La organización de las Unidades didácticas de este manual está pensada como una continuación natural de un curso de iniciación a la programación, como el que puede encontrarse en el manual de Fundamentos de la programación de esta misma editorial. De esta manera, la primera Unidad describe la metodología básica de desarrollo de programas, así como la recursión. A partir de ahí, se introducen los conceptos teóricos que definen la programación orientada a objetos en las Unidades 2 y 3. Una vez descrita la metodología de programación en este primer paradigma, las Unidades 4,5, 6 y 7 describen la sintaxis y las principales API que proporciona el lenguaje de programación Java para llevar a cabo el desarrollo de programas mediante la orientación a objetos. En las Unidades 8 y 9 se describe el paradigma de programación orientada a eventos, y de la misma forma se utiliza el lenguaje Java y las API que están especialmente diseñadas para el uso dentro de este paradigma. Para finalizar este manual, la Unidad 10 introduce al alumno en el extenso ámbito del diseño de interfaces, de nuevo usando el lenguaje Java, y como herramienta imprescindible para poder diseñar,usando este manual, una primera aplicación avanzada y atractiva para el usuario final.2020-21107_Grado en Ingeniería Informática110_Grado en Ingeniería de Organización Industrial116_Grado en Ingeniería Informática123_Grado en Ingeniería de Tecnologías y Servicios de Telecomunicació
