Ítem Antartica glacialis(Universidad EAFIT, 2017-11-01) Posada-Swafford, Angela; ColaboradorÍtem APPLIES: A framework for evaluAting organization's motivation and preparation for adopting product lines(IEEE Computer Society, 2018-01-01) Rincón, L.; Mazo, R.; Salinesi, C.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Sistemas; I+D+I en Tecnologías de la Información y las ComunicacionesIn the software industry, product Lines has emerged as an attractive approach to perform planned reuse. Nevertheless, a product line solution is not appropriate for all the cases and requires some conditions to be implemented successfully. The literature offers several contributions regarding the adoption of product lines. However, only a few of these support decision-makers for taking well-informed decisions in favor or against following this approach. This paper presents APPLIES, a framework to (i) detect signals that could motivate an organization to adopt a product line approach (ii) assess to what extent a company is prepared for supporting the practices necessary to adopt a product line. APPLIES is grounded in a thematic analysis of the literature and was preliminarily evaluated with two experts through a survey and an interview. The results of the evaluation provide us insights to create an improved version of the proposal following a design-science method. © 2018 IEEE.Ítem Comprehension through Lived Experience(Universidad EAFIT, 2015-11-01) González Cortes, Ana María; Equipo Universidad de los niñosÍtem EAFIT exalta la labor de sus científicos(Universidad EAFIT, 2023-03-27) Sossa, Felipe; Universidad EAFITEl Premio Anual de Investigación 2022 reconoció la trayectoria y las labores de cinco docentes investigadores de la Universidad EAFIT, cuyas contribuciones trascienden la académica e impactan a la sociedad.Ítem Editorial La ciencia en el corazón de todos(Universidad EAFIT, 2023-03-27) Copete Villa, Antonio; Universidad EAFITLa transformación del sistema de Cienica, Tecnología e Innovación se fundamenta en una concepción integral de las actividades que lo integran: Investigación, Desarrollo Tecnológico e Innovación, Apropiación Social del Conocimiento y Formación en CTeI, las cuales buscamos que se articulen de una manera horizontal e interdependiente, pues nuestro éxito en la investigación científica necesariamente dependerá del éxito integral de las demás.Ítem Evaluation of various strategies to improve the training of a brain computer interface system(2013-01-01) Jiménez, L.D.; Trefftz, H.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Sistemas; I+D+I en Tecnologías de la Información y las ComunicacionesBrain-computer interfaces (BCI) allow for communication between the human brain and computers. They have been used to create systems able to generate control over a software or mechatronic device, becoming an important tool for the rehabilitation of handicapped people, especially for patients with quadriplegia. Due to the importance of BCIs, any attempt to improve their response has a great value. The work described in this paper consists of the evaluation of various stimuli applied to improve the training of a BCI based system. The device is the Emotiv® EPOC which includes a Software Development Kit (SDK) to train the system. During the usual training of the SDK; images, videos, thoughts, movements and gestures were used as stimuli to improve the users' skills for accomplishing specific actions. After the evaluation of these stimuli, they were ranked according to their effectiveness. Finally, a powered wheelchair was controlled using the Emotiv® EPOC by applying the best-ranked stimulus and an assessment protocol was used in order to evaluate the performance of users driving the wheelchair with the BCI, with satisfactory results.Ítem Exhaustive community enumeration on a cluster(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018-01-01) Trefftz C.; McGuire H.; Kurmas Z.; Scripps J.; Pineda J.D.; Universidad EAFIT.

Departamento de Ingeniería de Sistemas; I+D+I en Tecnologías de la Información y las ComunicacionesConstant changes in technology pose continuous challenges for higher education institutions that are training the engineers of the future. These changes are making it necessary to adapt the curriculum in order to develop the skills needed by the XXI century engineer. Moreover, instead of thinking in a large curriculum reform at a specific moment, it is necessary to define curriculum management processes that include change as a natural component of the process. In addition to these global trends, each institution has a particular context and thus, the analysis in each institution has unique characteristics, a common methodological approach, and a reference model that can be built as long as it is flexible enough to include that context. This paper describes a model developed for curriculum management inside the School of Engineering at Universidad EAFIT - Colombia. This model includes the institutional context and is based on a process approach defined by the Business Process Management (BPM) methodology. The model uses the Burlton Hexagon as a theoretical framework to identify organizational structure, strategies, policies, infrastructure, technology tools and human capital. It is also a mechanism for specifying curricular macro processes including the global and institutional context. The proposed model is based on three pillars: (a) scientific research in education, which promotes the use of the scientific method as a strategy to ensure an approach to problems based on evidence which allows the construction of educational innovation projects, (b) education engineering focused on engineering education, which transforms the learning by developing basic, professional, and transversal skills as well as those specific for an engineer of the XXI century, and (c) interactive educational communities, both face to face and virtual, as spaces for knowledge management that support collaborative working and experience-sharing, managed by its members working together promoting initiatives to develop educational innovation projects focused on specific topics, that answer questions related to teaching and learning needs. The formulation and development of educational innovation projects are the responses to different needs identified on specific courses that are transformed into research questions. These projects aim to renew the curriculum so that it dynamically evolves based on classroom experiences. Thus, the curriculum renewal is based on critical thinking about the problems found in engineering education. The use of the scientific method and the collaborative approach enables drawing solid conclusions based on the experimental results. The model proposes the formulation and development of innovative educational projects in which scientific research applied in education aims to transform teaching, academic and administrative practices. As consequence, curricular innovations that integrate learning objects and educational, methodological and assessment strategies, are developed by an interactive learning community composed by teachers. Finally, the results obtained by applying the model in some courses in the School of Engineering of Universidad EAFIT are presented. These results include reducing the drop-out rate of students, redefining admission and graduation profiles, and micro-curricular redesign based on competences using projects, among others. © 2014 IEEE.Ítem Inventar es creer a ciegas en el futuro del mundo(Universidad EAFIT, 2024-08-23) Peña Guzmán, Stiver; Universidad EAFITÍtem Lighting the Wick: Four Perspectives on the Role of Mediators(Universidad EAFIT, 2018-11-01) Isaza Taborda, Tatiana; Giraldo Cerón, Andrés Felipe; Equipo Universidad de los niñosÍtem Observations about an approximate algorithm for the point robot motion planning problem(IEEE Computer Society, 2002-01-01) Trefftz, C.; Trefftz, H.; Universidad EAFIT.

TORO PALACIO; Departamento de Humanidades; Estudios de Filosofía, Hermenéutica y NarrativasThinking about the work of Max Weber, more specifically, in The Politician and the Scientific, this understanding and analysis exercise is carried out around the evolution of the routine of the Philosopher and the Scientific in contemporary life. The analysis is aimed to the supposed ``death of philosophy'', deducted by Stephen Hawking. It is shown the way as the philosophy, the science and the universe increase with the time its complexity, and the way its evolution is incorporated in a dimension increasingly wide of the reality. Reality that we appropriate according to our level of understanding, by two movements that are ``one'': ``knowledge of being'' (possible for life and presences) and ``know the world'' (scientifically valuable). Today, the Philosopher resounds with the first movement and the scientific with the second one. It is understood that the hypothetical evolution of consciousness is the combination of two movements: a humanist scientific knowledge of who we are as a species and as individuals.Ítem Play as a Way to Learn and Have Fun(Universidad EAFIT, 2014-11-01) Equipo Universidad de los niños; Equipo Universidad de los niñosÍtem Project management model at Eafit University applied to the general system of royalties in science, technology, and innovation(Editorial Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana, 2016-07-01) Lopez Canas, Carlos; Sanchez Gomez, Angela; Daniel Pardo, Ricardo; Zapata Aristizabal, Sergio; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Producción; Grupo en Tecnologías para la ProducciónRoyalties are income from rights given to the state for the extraction of non-renewable natural resources. In order to guarantee the equal distribution of these funds, Colombia created the General System of Royalties, which allocates 10% of these investments toward science, technology, and innovation programs considered a priority by each region. Carrying out royalty programs is complex due to the fact that each development phase requires that multiple actors be in agreement, including regional and city administrative offices, the academic sector, the private sector, the communities where the programs will be conducted, and the project evaluation and supervision entities, namely the National Planning Department and Colciencias as technical secretariat. Within this complex framework, we present the experience of EAFIT University in the design of a Project Management Office (PMO) model and the partial results of the implementation of two programs funded with royalties, which evidenced the need to structure a management model to coordinate programs requiring a higher level of follow-up and supervision, thus ensuring a responsible management of public resources under the private sector scheme where efficient and articulated communication channels were established amongst those interested and in accordance with their requirements. This model was adjusted based on the areas of knowledge and process groups proposed by the PMI.Ítem Report: Co-creation Laboratory of Social Appropriation of Knowledge 2022(Red de Apropiación Social del Conocimiento (RedASC), 2022) Red de Apropiación Social del Conocimiento (RedASC); Red de Apropiación Social del Conocimiento (RedASC)The Chair of Social Appropriation of Knowledge (ASC) led by the Social Appropriation of Knowledge Network - RedASC, brought together various actors around the challenges of science, technology and innovation (STI) in higher education institutions and, in particular,on the challenges posed by the Social Appropriation of Knowledge of the academic and research practices of the National STI System of Colombia.Ítem El reto de ser Distrito Especial de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación(Universidad EAFIT, 2023-03-27) Copete, Antonio; Guerrero, Tatiana; Universidad EAFITEl Distrito Especial de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación de Medellín implica grandes desafíos para la ciudad, que van desde nuevos diseños de gestión pública, fortalecimiento de alianzas público-privadas y herramientas de financiación, hasta hacer realidad un nuevo modelo de desarrollo basado en ciencia, tecnología e innovación, integral e incluyente, y con repercusiones de orden nacional.
