A General Overview of Vehicle-to-X (V2X) Beacon-Based Cooperative Vehicular Networks

ABSTRACT. Nowadays, much effort has been put on Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and Vehicle-to-Anything (V2X) communications, given the immense impact these technologies are going to make in the near future. V2X communications have become mainstream, pushing the standardization of various protocols in order to facilitate their implementation and interoperability between vendors and hardware manufacturers. Furthermore, V2X related standards are under the 5G umbrella, leading to this work where we describe the IEEE 1609 and IEEE 802.11p standards, which define the Dedicated Short-Range Communication (DSRC) and the Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) technologies. Emphasis is made on the Physical and Data Link Layers, along with the specifics for the previous mentioned standards.

Performance of MRC Detection in OFDM System with Virtual Carriers over V2V Channels

ABSTRACT. The vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications require to transmit over doubly selective channels (DSC) with high intercarrier interference (ICI). These characteristics degrade the performance significantly in terms of bit error rate (BER) of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. State-of-the-art solutions involve receivers with high computational complexity or a reduced system spectral efficiency. This paper investigates the BER performance of OFDM system with virtual carriers (VC) employing the maximal ratio combining (MRC)-based low-complexity detector. The results obtained show that the use of VC provides diversity in the data received, which allows to obtain a gain of >=5 dB compared to the OFDM system with linear/non-linear detector. In addition, the proposed detector has linear complexity, which makes it an attractive solution for the implementation of real-time vehicular systems.

Monitoring Improvement on Reactive, Proactive and Hybrid Protocols of Wireless Sensor Networks

ABSTRACT. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) base their performance on the routing protocol, which is in charge of managing information and making the network as resilient as possible. This work is based on performance metrics comparisons of three types of protocols (reactive, proactive and hybrid). In order to analyze wireless networks behavior and energy performance, simulations and real scenarios are ran on a university campus in Guadalajara, Mexico. The environment recreates the necessary conditions to evaluate and extrapolate the characteristics of a Smart Campus. With the implemented methodology, we can understand which performance metrics are impacting directly in a greater or lesser extent on three examples of well-known routing protocols. It is concluded that the hybrid protocol has 10% better performance than the others because it has the appropriate complexity and design to manage the packets under parameters such as: route validity and response time, overhead, packet re-transmissions, complexity, delay, resilience and energy. The simulation tool has an accuracy of 93%, similar to the results thrown in a real environment where sensors are dispersed in 300 square meters of the campus.

Smart Mobile LoRa Agriculture System based on Internet of Things

ABSTRACT. Nowadays agriculture represents the main source of food in the world, but it also represents challenges such as population growth, urbanization and ageing, global economy growth, investment, trade and food prices and competition for natural resources. The technology can help us cope with this challenge if we know how to apply it. The IoT technology represents the future of computing and communications. Because most of the people in the world depends on agriculture, IoT technologies will be required to migrate with traditional agriculture methods. By implementing these modern technologies and methods is possible to lower costs, maintenance and performance of our agriculture processes and goods. One of this relatively new technology is the LoRa communication protocol that uses low frequency to obtain a long range, which is particularly useful in these types of applications where our field of work is extensive crop fields and greenhouses. Therefore, this document proposes and presents the development of a Mobile LoRaWAN gateway device that can be applied to help greenhouses increase productivity and accuracy. The development includes the use of a Heltec's Mini LoRa Gateway controlled by a Raspberry Pi and powered by an external Li-On battery, and using a defined number of LoRa nodes with sensors it will measure humidity and temperature and send this data that will be gathered by the Mobile LoRaWAN gateway and using third-party free online services The Things Network and My Devices Cayenne it will close the IoT cycle. This document illustrates and explains the development and appliance of these devices and its advantages of having mobility.

Development of Hen Eggs Smart Incubator for Hatching System Based on Internet of Things

ABSTRACT. For hen breeders, hatching eggs in large quantities is a production problem, when they are incubated by hens. This paper describes the development of an intelligent system for a hen egg incubator. This incubation system, based on Arduino, LabView, Google Firebase and MITApp Inventor, can control temperature, humidity and egg rotation automatically. In addition, the system can help farmers monitor the intelligent incubator remotely. Successful hatching hens eggs are typically around 87.55%, 0.41% hatch defective, 1.84% hatch but die at birth, and 10.20% do not hatch, so an intelligent temperature and humidity control system can improve the successful hatching rate. The objective of this system is not to offer it for sale, its objective is to make its development available to researchers and farmers so that they can replicate it and carry out experiments. In order to do this, we have tried to keep it as simple as possible.

Modeling and Simulation of an Electricity Distribution System - Case Study: Compañía de Luz y Fuerza S.A..

ABSTRACT. Due to the constant growth of the demand for electric energy that is continuously recorded in the distribution networks, and the operational problems that this entails, the companies responsible for supplying energy must have appropriate analysis techniques to efficiently solve this problem. This suggests that it is necessary to implement modern technologies in the management of distribution systems capable of providing alternatives for decision making in a fast and economically viable manner supported by periodic studies with technical and economic bases. This work summarizes the first stage of the implementation of ETAP 18.1.0 Electrical Power System Analysis, software used for the study of the Villarrica distribution network carried out by the Company of Luz y Fuerza S.A. (CLYFSA), company in charge of the supply of electrical energy in the city of Villarrica since 1953 and currently with more than 14,000 users. The software is used for the modeling of the entire medium voltage electrical distribution system (including public and exclusive transformers, capacitor bank, pre-assembled and protected distribution lines, etc.) and then perform simulations for different operating states of the system and loading conditions These simulations in turn are used to evaluate the decision making of alternatives that improve the reliability and robustness of the electrical system in such a way to improve the quality of service.

Li-ion battery discharge emulator based on three-phase interleaved DC-DC boost converter

ABSTRACT. This paper presents a Li-ion battery discharge emulator. The proposed emulator is composed of a battery model and a three-phase interleaved DC-DC boost converter. The Thévenin- Shepherd electrical model is used, which consists of an electrical equivalent circuit (EEC) based on Th´evenin, and the Shepherd modified equation of open-circuit voltage. This model is used taking into account the voltage drop caused by the EEC besides it has an accuracy of 2 resistor-capacitor (RC) networks. The Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) is used to obtain these RC values. The discharge voltage profiles obtained in the simulations of the emulator are compared with the experimental results obtained during real battery discharges on the test bench. The results show that the simulations have errors of less than 1% in replicating the steady and dynamic behavior for the output voltage of the real battery even with pulses of discharge currents greater than its nominal battery capacity.

Hardware/Software Design for the Simulation of AWGN Communication Channels
PRESENTER: Carlos Gutierrez

ABSTRACT. This paper presents a hardware/software design to simulate additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels. Such a tool is employed here to evaluate the bit error rate (BER) of a communication system. The implementation of the noise generator is based on the central limit theorem by means of accumulating samples of a uniform random variable obtained using a linear congruential generator. The results show the importance of developing an accurate noise generator in terms of its statistics. In this regard, there is a trade-off between the accuracy of the noise samples and the complexity of the generator. We show how the accuracy of the samples influences on the BER results producing a meaningful error with respect to theoretical computations when the precision of the generator is low.

Process management model in dry cleaning and fabric finishes applying Lean Manufacturing and Kaizen matrix for the textile sector
PRESENTER: Carlos Raymundo

ABSTRACT. The textile sector presents a general problem, due to the increasing introduction of international products (Chinese, Hindu, etc.) due to the low cost of labor and the use of high-tech equipment, this forces companies in the field to improve their productive processes, produce more with less, and reduce costs from the most basic jobs. Therefore, it is proposed to implement the Lean methodology, focusing directly on the optimization of production processes using its various tools and a selection of indicators for monitoring the results. To validate, a case study was carried out in a real company that implemented the different Lean tools and the Kaizen matrix in the dyeing and finishing process, a process that presents a high percentage of defects. This allowed us to effectively reduce the number of reprocesses by a significant 8.14%, which allowed the company to save $ 184,320.42.

Prototype of Seismic Alarm Based on Internet of Things

ABSTRACT. Seismic events have been responsible for several human catastrophes and Latin America has not been exempt from these events. High magnitude telluric movements have caused the collapse of infrastructures causing hundreds of deaths in different countries. Although these are unpredictable natural disasters, for years seismic alarm systems have been perfected to warn the population. Some of the most current designs have robust models capable of alerting seismic events before they are perceptible to people. Hence, this article presents an early notification seismic alarm system based in Internet of Things, focusing on the use of a SigFox network for the integration between an electronic prototype, data monitoring and seismic warning, in order to make it interoperable with existing systems. The system's tests demonstrated stable and reliable communication, along with a processing algorithm capable of detecting seismic signals that alerts the population 8 seconds after the arrival of the primary waves of an earthquake, giving more time to the evacuation process.

Wireless Ammeter Based on ZigBee for Continuous Monitoring of Induction Motors

ABSTRACT. The Internet of Things (IoT) has shown the ability to exploit the potential of data, transforming objects of everyday life essentially into computers, by equipping them with sensors capable of measuring physical variables of the environment that surrounds them, and equipped with standards and communication protocols, acquire the ability to build an ecosystem of identifiable objects in a unique way, which generate data automatically, and with the possibility of responding to stimulus from the same environment, in a few words generate automatic responses to well defined situations. These characteristics promise great benefits to the industrial sector making reality the fourth industrial revolution better known as Industry 4.0, whose fundamental pillar is the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Considering that induction motors are widely used in the industry and that any damage can bring serious consequences, it is of great importance the development of a solution that allows to ensure its continuous operation, so this project aims to develop a wireless ammeter built using open source tools such as Arduino for the acquisition of current data, Node-Network that facilitates the creation of projects focused on IoT, and allow us to connect the hardware with services such as Influx dB, which is a database for time series where the data obtained by Arduino and Grafana will be stored in order to analyze and visualize the data. Through this project it will be possible to monitor the current consumption of induction motors used in the production processes within an industrial environment, to identify in a timely manner when a motor works with overload. By being continuously and permanently aware of current consumption it is possible to detect abnormal behaviors in induction motors, showing that through the IIoT applied to industrial maintenance we can detect an initial failure and make decisions that prevent catastrophic damage in this type of assets.

Skill-based Metamodel for sustaining the process-oriented cyber-physical System Description

ABSTRACT. Digitalization slowly but steadily transforms the modern production cells by adding an IT layer to their structure, which, subsequently, leads to the use of cyber-physical systems (CPS) as production cell components. Digital representation of those components through the definition of the corresponding description models starts in the early design phase of the engineering process. The model-based systems engineering (MBSE) approach promotes increased reusability of component models and allows an automatic generation of the system of interest model and its validation through simulation, which results in a shorter design phase. However, existing solutions for CPS description models contain mainly skills and functionalities of the component from a task-oriented perspective to achieve platform-independent code generation for the components control. Semantic information in the skills description usually is completely absent or present only to the extent, which is not enough to match the corresponding components to the product requirements and necessary production processes. Instead, production cell components are manually assigned to the manufacturing processes, which are required for the product. This manual step hinders the automatic production cell model generation based on the product requirements. To allow automatic matching from product descriptions to specific CPSs, a new approach to CPS description is necessary. This description should allow the entirely automatic generation of production cell models through the matching of CPS skills and product requirements. In this paper, a semantic metamodel for CPS is presented. This metamodel enriches CPS models with high-granularity graph-based skill descriptions, which, in combination with the appropriate manufacturing process descriptions, allow automatic matching for production planning and further simulation and optimization.

Mobile Robot for the Spraying of Corn Crops with autonomous navigation camera for the Plains of the Andes
PRESENTER: Heyul Chavez

ABSTRACT. The incidence of the disease in horticultural crops is one of the important problems that affect the production of fruits, vegetables and flowers. Regular monitoring of crops for early diagnosis and treatment with pesticides or removal of the affected crop is part of the solution to minimize crop loss. The monitoring of crops by human labor is expensive, time consuming, prone to errors due to insufficient knowledge of the disease and highly repetitive at different stages of crop growth. These needs have motivated to design the mobile robot with vision sensors for navigation through the field. The robot has been designed in the Autodesk Inventor software. Programming for navigation is done in the Arduino Mega 2560 tool. Image capture has been performed using the RGB camera. Image processing for the identification of the disease and its representation in a graphical user interface has been performed using an algorithm in MATLAB R2018B that interacts with the Arduino tool through a communication bus. The system developed consists of the design of a prototype that uses simple and cost effective equipment such as Raspberry Pi, RGB camera, four motors and sensors that is an aid to farmers of various activities in the field of crops.

Through an optimal design to achieve static stability, dynamic stability and optimize energy consumption through an autonomous system that is able to perform trajectories without any inconvenience. For the robot to move without flaws has certain restrictions in design (weight, size, materials, etc.) The hexapod has a high degree of movement and this allows many trajectories handle at the time of travel. Using sensors under certain working conditions we will obtain the necessary data and signals to satisfactorily comply with the hexapod robot design.

Drones and Geographic Information Systems Open Hardware and Source for Electrical Infrastructure Inspections

ABSTRACT. Electrical infrastructure must be constantly monitored to guarantee continuity of service, traditional inspection methods can be complemented with unmanned aerial vehicles (drones), and improve the performance and quality of inspections, the inconvenience of using drones in Inspections is the high amount of images collected during inspections. In this project Tecno Drone has integrated several open source technologies for the development of an integral platform for obtaining and processing thermal and RGB images collected during the inspection of electrical infrastructure. This project was developed in two stages: 1. Integration of the unmanned aerial platform. 2. Integration of information management platform.

Use of GNS3 Cloud Environment for Network Management Emulation when Comparing SNMP vs Syslog Applied Over an Advanced Network

ABSTRACT. Nowadays Perú has not a NREN (National Research and Education Network) also named advanced network. In past Perú had one named RAAP, connected to CLARA (Latin American Consortium for Advanced Networks) since 2005 but till 2017 when it was disconected from CLARA and therefore from the world. In this work authors proposed a new backbone topology for advanced network for Peru looking for the entire integration of universities and research centers in the country. In order to get funding a test concept must be delivered to international investors. Just as a test concept a network management emulation was executed in order to show how could it be when Peru be reconnected to the advanced networks in Latin America through CLARA. As part of the requested test SNMP vs Syslog was executed to get a kind of benchmark when managing the proposed network. A problem appeared due to economic restrictions, when using limited computers and software with usage restrictions, so that problem was solved using a GNS3 cloud environment running emulation in two physical computers interconnected in a peer to peer network.

Management Emulation for Advanced Networks Interconection in all America: 2019 topology

ABSTRACT. CANARIE, INTERNET2 and CLARA are the three advanced networks in America for Canada, USA and 12 countries in Latin American respectively. Their backbone infrastructure has been evolving and updating, adding bandwidth and backbones router´s capability. In this work, after reviewing the evolution of each backbone, AMERONET was the name assigned to the huge backbone network resulting from integrating the backbone of these advanced networks covering 14 countries in the continent. Then management assessments were developed on AMERONET. The resulting emulations using showed two main aspects, the first one is the GNS3 emulator capabilities when using high performance backbone networks; the second one is the feasibility of using this type of tools to support strategic decisions concerning the evolution of the deployed infrastructure for advanced networks.

Dockemu 2.0: Evolution of a Network Emulation Tool

ABSTRACT. The need in the scientific community to simulate or emulate various specific network scenarios has spawned the work of numerous software tools to cope with the demand. Unfortunately, most of the simulators have a steep learning curve (from installation to finally generating an experiment) and most protocols tested stay in them, and they are never implemented in real world OS's. Emulators are closer to reality, but still lack the versatility to easily implement certain characteristics, that researchers need in order to validate their experiments. Dockemu was made with the previous in mind, which its first iteration generated a good acceptance in the research community. The combination of up to date technologies like Docker and NS3, made the implementation of simple and complex scenarios easier for researchers. In this second iteration of Dockmu, we present a more streamlined code and installation process, among with the latest development of Docker containers, that left out LXC's and now provide their own container version. We provide some tests cases in different hardware and we finalize with our perspective to provide a Cloud based tool and efforts to minimize the learning curve through an interactive GUI.

Modeling and Simulation of Composite Load Using MATLAB / SIMULINK

ABSTRACT. Since load has a great influence on power system stability, its proper representation in high voltage buses is strictly necessary in order to obtain satisfactory dynamic responses during time domain simulations. This paper shows the development of a composite load model for electric power systems. MATLAB / Simulink is used as a computational tool for both the development and validation of the aforementioned load model. The static (exponential and polynomial) and dynamic (thermostatic-controlled and "Type 2 dynamic motor") load models have been considered. Three-phase short circuits on transmission lines and generation outages to analyze the dynamic response of the load model developed were simulated

Modeling of Amorphous-Carbon Cells for Molecular Dynamics Simulations

ABSTRACT. The modeling of starting molecular structures before their analysis through computational methods is usually a critical step for their properties determination. In the case of amorphous carbon (a-C) simulations, including molecular dynamics (MD) or first principles (ab-initio) routines, the proportion between sp, sp2 and sp3 carbon hybridization are fundamental parameters, with direct implications on the electronic and structural properties of the materials under analysis. In this paper, a method for controlling the fraction of sp2-hybridized carbon within a-C structures is proposed, by means of an algorithm that generates a-C cells appropriate as staring structures for most of the MD and ab-initio simulation packages.

A Mobile Application with Augmented Reality for the Learning of the Quechua Language in Pre-School Children

ABSTRACT. In Peru, Quechua-speaking people decrease every year due to disinterest, discrimination, lack of motivation for language learning even more in educational centers, lack of teachers willing to teach the language and lack of teaching materials with which children can interact during His learning. Augmented Reality (AR) is a great ally of education providing efficiency, productivity and increasing the interest of students in their academic activities. This paper is structured and implemented an application with AR for the learning of Quechua in preschool children, which will give children the possibility to connect with their environment, their own history and their ancestors in a fun way, and grow with a different awareness of the others, in addition to providing linguistic stimuli achieving greater ease for learning other languages, since after mastering this language develops skills for new learning.

Digital heritage and data analysis: The use of Tableu to design an inventory of scientific journals

ABSTRACT. This document is based on the objective of making visible the Honduran scientific heritage through the construction of an inventory of its academic journals using the new information technologies. Thus, Journals were mapped, followed by information consolidation and data analysis on the Tableau interactive data visualization platform. With this tool it is possible to visualize the location where the journal is published, as well as its categorization by topic. Evidence from 59 scientific journals founded in Honduras since 1905 was found.

Social Engineering for Diagnostic the Information Security Culture

ABSTRACT. In the process of diagnosing the culture of information security in an organization, it is considered to consider two methods, the first one is the application of an ISCA survey questionnaire and the second one based on social engineering techniques such as phishing, answering the question, How can a diagnosis be made effectively of the level of information security culture within an organization? with the objective of determining which of the two methods is the most effective and realistic for the diagnosis of the information security culture. This helps to understand and have a real and complete perception of the behavior and reaction of the users against the attacks of threat actors who make use of persuasion and manipulation tactics in order to obtain confidential or sensitive information. A description of these two methods is applied to a case study (public university). As a result, it is obtained that it is not enough to perform a diagnosis based on questionnaires because they can be relatively subjective in the sense of the way in which users respond to questions or statements. Evidence of controlled social engineering attacks that demonstrate in more detail the real behavior of users should be considered. Based on this more complete knowledge, appropriate strategies can be formulated for the change or strengthening of the security culture that ultimately contributes to the purpose of protecting information assets.

Growing your membership: Sign MOA for students and faculty.

ABSTRACT. During the last decade, Salvadoran IEEE membership has growth 367%, from 132 members in December 2008 to 587 members in December 2018. Mainly, this growth had to do with an exponential growing in students membership. In the same period of time, student membership went from 62 to 426. A growth of 525% has its origin through the nurture of existence student branches and the creation of new ones. Three out of seven student branches were created in the last decade. One student branch was reactivated in 2018, after almost two decade being inactive. Since 2010, a memorandum of agreement is signed with local universities that happens to have college of engineering. They received some benefits from IEEE El Salvador Section for their students and for their faculties. MOAs have had a very positive impact and has improved student branches making some of them the biggest and the most dynamics at the Central America and Panama council and at the Latin America regional level.

Ranking of the Licensed University of Peru Based on the Active Research Grade (ARG)

ABSTRACT. In Peru, research has been encouraged in recent years. This situation has led to the fact that most universities are aware of the evolution of research rankings. The problem is that many of these research rankings do not take into account the size of the universities, and that is why they are unfair when comparing large universities with small universities. In this sense, the present work proposes a new index to measure the scientific production of universities. The results show a significant difference between the rankings that only take into account the number of publications, with the ranking developed in the present work considering the size of the universities. The results show surprising results, especially for small universities that invest in research.
