  • Resumen Los Widgets, Pequeñas Aplicaciones De Escritorio, Se Han Convertido En Objeto De Estudio Para Este Trabajo
    Resumen Los widgets, pequeñas aplicaciones de escritorio, se han convertido en objeto de estudio para este trabajo. Se ha analizado y estudiado su entorno, funcionamiento y estructura. Como resultado se ha obtenido una definición del concepto de widget, con diferentes ejemplos prácticos, y una comparativa entre las compañías más destacadas que ofrecen widgets (Apple, Microsoft, Yahoo!, Google y Opera) así como de las diferencias a nivel de estructura e implementación que se encuentran entre sus widgets. En el apartado de estudio también se ha dado atención a los usuarios de estas aplicaciones, explicando cuáles son sus necesidades, costumbres y posibilidades de elección en este campo. Otro de los apartados trata de cubrir algunas de las tecnologías más relevantes implicadas en la creación posterior de un widget, la aplicación Dashcode, el lenguaje de programación JavaScript, y los canales RSS. El tema de los widgets también ha dado lugar a todo un apartado de desarrollo. Se ha creado un widget para la plataforma de Apple, Macintosh. El widget proporciona al usuario las últimas noticias y resultados del mundo deportivo, concretamente de dos deportes, fútbol y baloncesto. Todas las fases del proceso de creación del widget han sido descritas de principio a fin, desde los bocetos iniciales a la puesta en funcionamiento, pasando por el prototipado e implementación. De manera adicional, también se ha incluido un apartado dedicado al diseño de widgets, con algunas y consejos a tener en cuenta al diseñar widgets en general. Por último se han vertido diferentes conclusiones fruto del presente trabajo y de la reflexión sobre la situación actual de este campo, sin olvidar los aspectos a mejorar, las áreas en que se está trabajando y las perspectivas de futuro.

  • Is -Open Source- a Keyword for a Successful Gis Development ?
    IS -OPEN SOURCE- A KEYWORD FOR A SUCCESSFUL GIS DEVELOPMENT ? Umit Isikdag(MSc,BSc) University of Salford,UK School of Construction & Property Management [email protected] 1.What is a Geographical Information System ? A GIS can be defined as an information system capable of assembling, storing, manipulating, and displaying geographically referenced information. GIS is also regarded as “a computer system for capturing, storing, checking, integrating, manipulating, analysing and displaying data related to positions on the Earth's surface. Typically, a Geographical Information System (or Spatial Information System) is used for handling maps of one kind or another. These might be represented as several different layers where each layer holds data about a particular kind of feature. Each feature is linked to a position on the graphical image of a map.”12 Figure 1.1-Typical Components of a GIS 1.1 The basic functions of a GIS The basic functions of a GIS are defined as13 capturing the data,integrating the data,projection and registration,sturucturing and modelling the data.The USGS web site(http://www.usgs.gov) defines these functions in detail as: Data Capture:Maps can be digitized, or hand-traced with at computer mouse, to collect the coordinates of features. Data capture - putting the information into the system - is the time-consuming component of GIS work. Identities of the objects on the map must be specified, as well as their spatial relationships. Editing of information that is automatically captured can also be difficult. Electronic scanners record blemishes on a map just as faithfully as they record the map features.

  • Experience with a Livecd in an Education Process
    EXPERIENCE WITH A LIVECD IN AN EDUCATION PROCESS Experience with a LiveCD in an education process Jan R˚uˇziˇcka, FrantiˇsekKl´ımek Institute of Geoinformatics Faculty of Mining and Geology, VSB-TUO E-mail: [email protected] Key words: LiveCD, GIS´akLiveCD, Distance Learning, E-learning Abstract The paper describes how can be LiveCD (Bootable CD) used for geoinformatics distance learn- ing. We have prepared one LiveCD with basic software for learning geoinformatics and we have some feedback from users and teachers. The paper should evaluate this feedback. LiveCD is a CD-ROM, that can be used as a bootable device. After booting from the CD, the user can access all resources compiled to the CD. There are operating system (usually based on GNU/Linux) and (user, desktop) software installed and configured to be used directly after boot. Our CD named GIS´akLiveCD contains basic GIS software such as UMN MapServer, GRASS, Quantum GIS, Thuban, JUMP, GPS Drive, Blender and we work on other soft- ware packages such as MapLab for UMN MapServer, PostGIS, GeoNetwork Open Source, CatMDEdit, gvSIG, uDIG. GIS´akLiveCD contains set of spatial data from the Czech Re- public. Main part of the CD are tutorials for GIS software. CD is open for other e-learning materials. Now we have about 20 students using our LiveCD and few other users that are not curently our students. The paper should show Pros & Cons of the LiveCD usage for a distance learning. LiveCD Live CD is bootable CD-ROM with operating system and installed and configured programs. It is ready to use as full installed system directly after boot from CD-ROM drive.

  • 'Building' Architects and Use of Open-Source Tools Towards Achievement of Millennium Development Goals
    'Building' Architects and Use of Open-source Tools Towards Achievement of Millennium Development Goals. Oku, Onyeibo Chidozie Department of Architecture Faculty of Environmental Sciences Enugu State University of Science and Technology Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were established by the United Nations to improve the well-being of humans and their habitat. Whether they are the target beneficiaries or amongst the parties administering services for achieving the MDGs, humans must carry out these activities in a physical environment. Hence, the Seventh Goal of the MDG has an indirect and far-reaching relationship with the others because it deals with the sustainable development of the built environment. Architects deliver consultancy services that span the design, documentation and construction supervision of the built environment. This study sought to determine the extent to which these professionals can do this, with respect to the Seventh Millennium Development Goal, using mainly open-source tools. The study draws from literature reviews, end-user feedback or reports, interviews with developers of applicable open-source products, and statistics from a survey, launched in 2011, for capturing how architects use ICT in their businesses. Analysis of popular open-source technologies for the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry show a concentration of resources in favour of the later stages of the Architect's role, rather than the design and contract-drawing stages. Some of the better-implemented tools are either too cryptic for professionals who communicate in graphical terms, or heavily biased towards software engineering practices. The products that promise Building Information Modelling (BIM) capabilities are still at an early developmental stage.
