This paper presents the development of an information system using XML retrieval, as a tool to support the management of work orders in small and medium size enterprises (SME) from Cartagena to generate information to support decision making in the process outlined. The methodology used was the development of a structure of the general process of software engineering. The usefulness of the software was determined by the design, construction and implementation in the SME, validating its use through a usability test. This allowed measuring the level of acceptance of end users, thus saving costs in managing archived files and facilitating decision making. Based on the results it was possible to conclude that the process of work order management was improved by implementing the information system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper was to develop a methodology to diagnose the use of personal software process in software industry of Cartagena de Indias, Colombia. In this work, Personal Software Process related model based on a systemic methodology variables were used taking as reference the Humphrey's model in which each subsystem had input and output variables to other subsystems. This work tends to improve the techniques of Personal Software Process taking the first step on a path to the required quality and detected in a previous work presented in the literature. The results showed good practice in companies with defined methodologies for software development in contrast to others who lacked standards for managing of established routines.

A study to implement Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) in Organizations of Cartagena ion Colombia has been done. The wide area network technologies (WAN) used in the city were identified. After that, network topologies corresponding to the identified WAN were designed and implemented and technical evaluations were performed using quality of service. Finally, a guide that provides information about the applications that include IPTV under the suitable WAN technology was elaborated. This facilitates the selection of this type of service for those organizations that are planning to incorporate it as part of their technological development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The development of a computer program for the determination of thermophysical properties and convective heat transfer coefficients in foods is presented. The software has been named CTCIA (Heat Transfer Coefficients in Food Engineering). To validate the models included in the software, experimental data of fresh and processed tilapia at different temperatures and process times. The experimental data were processed automatically by the software, thereby generating values for the thermophysical properties and the heat transfer coefficient. In is concluded that the method described in this study is useful for calculating the thermophysical properties and the convective heat transfer coefficient when there is no internal resistance to heat transfer.

The main objective of this study was to design a methodology for the detection of vulnerabilities in data networks. This involved the development of different phases, called recognition, port scanning and service enumeration, and vulnerability scanning, each of which is supported by software tools. The results of each phase supplied the necessary data for implementing the following stages. To validate the usefulness of the proposed methodology this was implemented in the data network of the University of Cartagena in Colombia, finding different types of vulnerabilities. Finally, based on the results, it was found that the proposed methodology is useful for detecting vulnerabilities in data networks, demonstrating their importance to the area of computer security.
