A systematic mapping study of specification languages in cloud services development
(Springer, 2019) Bermeo Conto, Jorge Luis; Zúñiga Prieto, Miguel Ángel; Solano Quinde, Lizandro Damián
Specification languages offer abstractions and notations that facilitate the systematic and analytical reasoning about important aspects in a specific domain problematic. In a software engineering process domain, the usage of specification languages improve the quality and delivery time of the artefacts generated during the execution of the process activities. Cloud applications, or cloud services, are service-oriented applications whose consumption is constantly growing; however, their development require support for new roles and activities. In this work we are interested in knowing how specification languages are being used by researchers and practitioners to support the development of cloud services. This work presents a systematic mapping that provides guidance to determine the current state and to characterize the specification languages that support the service life cycle activities in a cloud services development domain.

Desarrollo de una metodología de gestión de proyectos para servicios de implementación de infraestructura de tecnologías de información
(2017) Brito González, Juan Diego; Bermeo Conto, Jorge Luis
The technological capacity of the companies supports the creation of sustainable competitive advantages, which is fundamental and strategic for the growth of the same ones. Due to Latin America's lag in project management (Huchim, 2014) and given the impressive statistics of information technology (IT) projects considered as failures and their imminent degree of uncertainty in implementation, there has developed an immediate need to establish a management methodology for IT projects that mainly focuses on the generation of value towards the client, minimizes the risk and, above all, adapts to the operational reality of the small companies that provide IT services. This document aims to develop a project management methodology for the implementation of IT base infrastructure, in order to guide the small companies providing IT services in the country. This methodology is based on the study, analysis and comparison of the frames of reference designed for Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), Projects in controlled environment (PRINCE2), agile methodologies and Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF), which are not specialized in the area of IT infrastructure nor adapted to the reality of companies in the south of the country. A gap analysis determines which practices are appropriate to guarantee the project life cycle and the generic process for the management of IT projects where the activities are adapted to the operational reality. Generating the methodology, an example is applied to determine the results of improvement in the management of an IT project
Descubrimiento de patrones de interacción en cursos MOOC en entornos ONLINE: un enfoque utilizando minería de procesos. Caso de estudio: “Curso de la metodología DICREVOA en Open edX”
(2016) Palta Morocho, René Andrés; Vázquez Mendoza, Jorge Alberto; Maldonado Mahauad, Jorge Javier; Bermeo Conto, Jorge Luis
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) open the opportunity for students around the world to access to high quality content, timeless and flexible. However, many people who enroll in a MOOC fail to finish. This is because, on the one hand, studying in these online environments requires students are able to self-regulate effectively for their learning. On the other hand, current MOOC platforms do not provide enough support for students to achieve finish the courses. In a MOOC, where the heterogeneity of the participants is a constant, self-regulated learning it is key to successfully complete them. But not all students effectively use the various self-regulatory strategies during their learning process. To this is added, the individual preference of each student to learn, that is, their learning style. The aim of this study is to explore the sequence of activities that the participants in a MOOC and determine differences in the sequences of activities among participants with different levels of self-regulation and different learning styles. To achieve this, in this study the logs are analyzed with traces of data from a MOOC course and using process mining techniques combined with self-reports, sequence patterns of student activities are extracted. The findings show that participants with different self-regulatory profiles perform sequences similar but with different intensity, while participants with different learning styles perform sequences different of activities when moving in a MOOC. These results may serve to support future decisions regarding the design of the course and platform.
Diagnóstico y plan de acción para la implementación del marco de negocio para el gobierno y gestión de tecnologías de la información (COBIT5.0) aplicado a la Universidad Técnica de Machala
(2017) Rivas Asanza, Wilmer Braulio; Bermeo Conto, Jorge Luis
The technology must be a true strategic ally of the companies, beyond a simple support, providing the value and efficiency that both the business and the users demand. Thus, in this scenario, the concept of IT Governance is introduced as responsible for integrating and institutionalizing good IT Management practices to ensure that IT in the company supports the business objectives and makes the most of its information. Maximize profits, capitalize opportunities and gain competitive advantages. In this sense, the proposal of this work is to incorporate the COBIT5.0 framework of Government and Management as a tool to perform the situational diagnosis of the Technical University of Machala regarding the processes proposed by COBIT5.0; the diagnosis will be made using the capabilities model and the information of the catalytic processes through a compliance audit, obtaining the capacity level of the Institution's processes. Then establish with senior management which processes are priority through the cascade model of COBIT5.0. , of the processes that are more priority to establish a road map or action plan of the activities that must be developed for the implementation of the same and finally it is proposed to develop deliverables such as templates, procedures, controls, manual that allows to reach the level of desired capacity in those processes.

DICREVOA: A proposal for the design, creation and evaluation of learning objects
(IEEE, 2015) Maldonado Mahauad, Jorge Javier; Bermeo Conto, Jorge Luis; Mejía Pesántez, Piedad Magali; Mejía Pesántez, Piedad Magali
This article describes a methodological proposal for the design, creation and evaluation of Learning Objects (LO). This work arises from the compilation and analysis of several LO design methodologies currently used in Ibero-America. This proposal, which has been named DICREVOA, defines five different phases: analysis, design (instructional and multimedia), implementation (LO and metadata), evaluation (from the perspective of the LO producer and consumer) and publication. The methodology is focused not only on the teaching inexperienced but also on those having a basic understanding of the technological and educational aspects related to the design of LO, therefore, the proposal emphasizes LO design activities centered in the Kolb cycle and the use of the ExeLearning tool in order to implement the LO core. Additionally, DICREVOA was used in a study case, which demonstrates how it provides a viable mechanism for the LO design and implementation within different contexts. In this paper, we present DICREVOA, the case study to wich it was applied, and the obtained results
Exploring differences in how learners navigate in MOOCs based on self-regulated learning and learning styles: A process mining approach
(INSTITUTE OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC., 2016-10-10) Maldonado Mahauad, Jorge Javier; Bermeo Conto, Jorge Luis; Palta, R; Perez-Sanagustin, M; Vazquez, J
Study in a Massive Open and Online Courses (MOOCs) is challenging, since participants take the course without the support of a teacher. Taking a MOOC require the students to have the ability to self-regulate their learning. However, every person has its own learning style and the way each one interacts and self-regulate in a MOOC varies. In this work we present an exploratory study from a process-oriented perspective to study whether students with different learning styles and SRL profiles show differences in navigating through a MOOC. Specifically, we investigate using Process Mining Techniques to analyze log files recording the course behavior of 99 learners across an Open edX MOOC combined with data from self-reported surveys. Our findings show that learners with different SRL profiles follow similar navigation paths, but there are differences when differentiating students by their learning styles.

(INSTITUTE OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC., 2016-10-03) Maldonado Mahauad, Jorge Javier; Bermeo Conto, Jorge Luis; Maldonado Mahauad, Jorge Javier
The generation and dissemination of digital educational materials in Universities is an issue that has generated interest and concern in Latin American academic community. The use of these educational resources has been conditioned to a specific number of barriers and factors from different nature, being the conceptual and pedagogical, one of the most important, in which, the teacher training plays a decisive role. In this paper a set of strategies adopted in the context of Ecuadorian universities, for the generation and publication of digital educational materials under the paradigm of learning objects are presented. To achieve this goal, we have developed a methodology, developed and implemented a specialized repository, carried out a specialized training related with learning objetcs creation and accomplished a national competition. This paper reports the first results and lessons learned from this experience.
Proceso de anotación de objetos de aprendizaje semiautomático mediante tecnologías semánticas
(2017) Farfán Fajardo, José Hernán; Lojano Uguña, Juan Carlos; Bermeo Conto, Jorge Luis
At the present time, internet has a huge amount of learning objects (LO), which are available and stored in repositories (LOR). These LO include metadata which describe their characteristics and they are define by a kind of standard like Dublin Core. They provide the benefits of reuse without the need to invest a lot of money. And this is the root of the importance, especially in the current educational system which has mostly an online trend. On the other hand, the semantic web has become in one of the most recent activities oriented to the web development. It uses ontologies to define concepts and relationships between entities or types in a formal way. Furthermore, there are specific ontologies for the LO management, such as LOM2OWL. However, the main problem is that LO are not described in an ontology, they are purely syntactic which limit their use in the semantic field. In order, LO can be described semantically, they must be described and populated in an ontology. This populated process involves to take and represent manually, semi-automatic or automatic individuals, types, relationships, and properties values. The objective of this project is the development of LO entry process through semantic technology, implementing a semi-automatic process. The results and findings are presented in the relevant case study, and where the manual and semi-automatic populated process are showed
