Storage, processing and distribution of information and communication: Cloud computing in Latin-American

Remote computing operations including storage, processing and distribution of information and communication began to emerge in the last decade of the last century in business and corporate environments. However, its use has spread as a fundamental service in the latest web applications as usual practice of any current Internet user. Tightly, interwoven with network communication experiences they are in turn transforming the use of computer technology, now based on parameters such as maximum mobility, greater lightness on computers, communication and concurrency in creating mini ad hoc applications, among others. This study describes some of the most important communicative features of cloud computing as well as their social uses. Among them, breaking the traditional concepts of space, time and identity constructio

The data envelopment analysis to determine efficiency of Latin American countries for greenhouse gases control in electric power generation

The objective of this research is to determine the efficiency of Latin American countries for the control of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions due to the generation of electrical energy using the Data Envelopment Analysis. A positivist epistemic position is assumed, and a methodology of evaluative character is used, comprising five (5) phases. The results show that the countries that are located on the efficient frontier have common police like the increase in the share of renewable energies, and diversification of the energy matrix, which means a better control of GHG emissions. It is possible to determine the efficiency of the public policies established by the countries of Latin America for the control of GHG emissions. In conclusion, the countries that are located on the efficient frontier are those that generate electricity with predominantly renewable sources or, at least, use natural gas as a fuel in greater proportion

Performance energetic of the sector hydrologic

While greater our knowledge of the behavior of any facility energy consumption rater, the greater the opportunities to implement effective measures to reduce consumption without affecting productivity. In this sense, the present work aims to determine the energy performance of water sector, taking as a case study proposed provision served in Lara State, Venezuela. To achieve this purpose these monthly consumption for a period of 4 years correlated from 2012-2015, we were made correlation graphs and consumption rate was determined. About 3.203 data were analyzed for 125 environment where hydrological facilities in the state are located. The correlation diagrams shown lar trend curves and their correlation. All correlations were close to 0 considered weak. The consumption rate calculated average is 0.9561 kWh/m3. Curves consumption rate against water show that the system is more efficient as the water supply exceeds 200.000 m3

An intelligent strategy for faults location in distribution networks with distributed generation

The exact location of faults in the electrical distribution systems is a problem that affects not only the users, but also the companies providing the electric service. With greater time invested in this period, the losses due to unbilled energy and inconvenience to users increases, thus decreasing the quality of service. One of the causes of the growth in time is the misunderstanding that might exist in the localization systems that act under the presence of distributed generation sources in the distribution networks. In this sense, the present research develops an intelligent diagnosis of faults in distribution systems with distributed generation. Three stages are defined: Identification of the type of fault, the location of the zone, and the exact point of fault. A mixed method based on artificial intelligence and mathematical algorithms is applied. Eleven different types of faults that can occur in a distribution system are considered with six different values of fault resistances ranging from 5 to 30 . The errors found are less than 2% in the location of the fault point with robustness to variations in the load and the penetration of distributed generation

Greenhouse gases emissions and electric power generation in Latin American countries in the period 2006–2013

The objective of this study is to classify the group of countries that contributes to the emissions of GHG gases in relation to their electric power generation. The data used for this classification are those reported by OLADE during the period from 2006 to 2013. The results show that they were organized in four (4) clusters, dividing them into efficient and inefficient levels. In the highest efficient level is Brazil, while in the lowest efficient level are Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela. Argentina and Mexico are in the highest inefficient level, while the rest of the Latin American countries are in the lowest inefficient level. The countries located at the efficient and inefficient levels were labeled as most emitting countries and least emitting countries

Application of classification technique of data mining for employee management system

This paper presents the application of classification technique of data mining used for the Employee Management System (EMS). This paper discusses the classification techniques of data mining and based on the data, the process of Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) is reformed for classifying large data into different categories such as Disability, Employee Performance, etc. This paper discusses, WEKA data mining toolkit classifier model to predict employee’s performance based on the employee’s age, date of joining and number of years of experience. This study helps to predict the employee’s work-cycle and helps the management to find the employee’s performance those who are disabled and enabled.
