This doctoral thesis is about the application of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in education or E-Teaching. It is based on the component-based software engineering (CBSE) [1] [2] to search available software to build a learning platform called Educational Immersive Portal (EIP) composed of a Content Management Software (CMS), a virtual classroom or Learning Management Software (LMS), a server and viewer Virtual Worlds (VW), communication libraries from CMS and MV to the LMS, between LMS and mobile phones and uses best practices in usability for people with various disabilities. One goal of the study is to determine the requirements generated by the application of learning strategies Blended Learning (BL) and Peer Instruction (PI) studying how the immersivity a MV offers participants, it can be exploited in the environment activities (also designed on this work) to improve the teaching of topics related to computer engineering. For this purpose, it has given importance to meet the system requirements and functional users of the platform, educational institutions, teachers and students referred to the application of BL and PI in PEI.

This paper presents the project of a robotics teaching tool which was designed to be a playful tool for learning check. The relevance of this study is due to the fact the design of this tool have originated from an extracurricular vision of a group of students who contributed to the development of it and had robotics as a form of entertainment that belongs to their world outside of the classroom. We ran up a tool usage session in a general education class with several students in order to test their entertaining features and determine the learning fixing ability of non-technical disciplines by the students who were involved in developing the same.

This paper presents the design and implementation of the information system called Operational Risk Management that facilitates the quantification of operational risk. The system goal is the fulfillment of national and international standards of banking regulation that search controlling and manage the financial losses resulting from failures in processes, people, systems or external factors. In the work is presents and describes the architectural components of the system, its functionalities and implementation for calculating the Operational Value at Risk (Op-VaR) and obtaining the matrix of expected and unexpected losses, also is shown as the architecture based on filters facilitates the calculations that require large volumes of data with financial information.

This research aims to initially address the Digital Mourning concept under the Digital Heritage Management, investigating to what extent we can “Managing the Digital Heritage”, namely the content we create on a daily basis on social networks and the Internet. The ultimate goal is to understand to what extent this issue is important for users and present results showing that items needed to design a system that is accepted and used in practice by users. To assess the need for platforms for the Digital Heritage Management (PGHDs) and what is the desirable content was conducted a questionnaire on the subject. Analyzing the results of this questionnaire it appears that most respondents did not think about the future of your Digital Heritage is not aware about the policies of online services they use. But the evidence is that the higher the technological maturity of most individuals is likely to be future users of this type of platforms. It also notes that the vast majority of users consider necessary technologically developed using PGHDs in the future.

This is a proposal to identify usability specifications during the business process modeling using Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) and Language Extended Lexicon (LEL). These specifications will be mapped to a structure called “Requirements Baseline” (Requirements Base Line), which describes the system's vocabulary using LEL, and scenaries to describe their behavior. Usability specifications will be introduced in stages using transformations, and specified as part of LEL's vocabulary. The use of LEL will allow to create a dictionary, which will contain all the usability specifications. The analyst will be able to integrate, evaluate, define and maintain the traceability of usability specifications in early stages during software process development.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the social capital importance in higher education institutions, public and private. For this purpose, we studied the importance of the main Spanish universities, according to the Ranking Web of Spanish Universities-Webometrics-(3 public and 3 private) in Facebook. Although the importance of Facebook in education has been demonstrated, there is little research using it as a media. The results reveal a professionalization of the use of these tools by public universities, creating new opportunities, while private universities fail to achieve this level.

Constraint programming is a powerful paradigm that allows for solving optimization and constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). In this context, a main concern of this technology is that the efficient problem resolution usually relies on the employed solving strategy. Unfortunately, selecting the proper one is known to be complex as the behavior of strategies is commonly unpredictable. Recently, Autonomous Search appeared as a new technique to tackle this concern. The idea is to let the solver adapt its strategy during solving time in order to improve performance. This task is controlled by a choice function which decides, based on performance information, how the strategy must be updated. In this paper, we evaluate the impact on the solving phase of 16 different choice functions. We employ as test bed a set of well-known benchmarks that collect general features present on most CSPs. Interesting experimental results are obtained in order to provide the best-performing choice functions for solving CSPs.

This paper responds to requirement to improve the orientation between offered SW, as ITIL tools. There are really a lot of amount thus offered tools and very often leads to poor implementation of ITIL on the basis of incorrectly chosen tools. Main objective of this paper is to provide an overview about possibilities of choosing a suitable tool. Simultaneously, the research described in this paper will serve for further work on creating a methodology for evaluation of ITIL tools.

The objective of the project presented in this paper is to stimulate and evaluate the executive function in Parkinson's patients. This project is being developed in partnership with the Coimbra Hospital and Universitary Centre and the private social solidarity institution CASPAE. It aims to answer specific needs identified in the neurology service during the medical appointments. A common test to assess executive function is the Trail Making Test (TMT). This test is done on paper during the medical appointments for the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with the executive function diminished, such as Parkinson's disease patients. The way the TMT is done poses some problems that led to the development of an application for smartphones and tablets, with Android OS. This application has two operating modes: “Appointment”, and “Train”. The “Appointment Mode” makes the realization, reading, and the organization of the tests results easier. The “Train Mode” allows that patients improve their executive function performing tests that are randomly generated on your own smartphone.
