Dr. Rafael Sánchez-Montoya
Conference theme: Success is in the method. ICT, inclusion and disability Abstract: In ICT we seek the framework tool that allows us to integrate different symbolic systems that favor and encourage students to develop their intelligences. To do this, we rely on three keys: 1.- The rings of accessibility, usability and multilevel teaching that we superimpose following a hierarchy inspired by the physical, sensory, motor and intellectual needs of the person. 2.- The models mFREE, bFREE, Microprojects - Flippedclass and Person-Centered Planning with the support of the Wikinclusion Knowledge Base. 3.- The construction of networks that connect the two previous key realities with the different labels that are handled for people with disabilities.

Dr. Lee Harris Schlenker
Conference theme: Decision-Making on the Road to Artificial Intelligence Abstract: The ability to conscientiously take decisions among alternative possibilities has long been a viewed as a condition that separates man from machines. As innovations in artificial intelligence transform both operational and managerial processes, the distinction between human and machine intelligence is becoming increasing difficult to define. Applications of machine learning are today crossing the threshold of decision support systems to enter the realm of artificial intelligence, and in doing so, redefine the relationships between human and information resources. After reviewing three examples that illustrate the managerial opportunities and challenges in the Life Sciences, Smart Cities, and Transportation, Dr. Schlenker will challenge the audience to consider the ethical choices for both organizations and society at large.

Dr. Juan Pedro Valente 
Conference theme: Data Mining in Time Series Abstract: Time Series are present is many areas of science and industry, with special relevance in Medicine. Many medical tests provide results as time series, like electrocardiograms, electroencephalograms, auditory brainstem responses, etc. Data Mining can help the physicians analyze these results, but Time Series data are a great challenge for traditional Data Mining techniques as input data is no longer a relational database, high volume of data requires dimensionality reduction techniques, new distance metrics must be defined, etc. One of the main approaches to solve these problems is Temporal Abstraction, which also brings a very desirable issue, allowing to “translate” numeric time series to a more medical friendly language.

Dr. Dámaso Javier Vicente Blanco 
Conference theme: The constraints of the electronic reality in the international legal-private relations Abstract: Information and communication technologies (ICT) set a challenge for international legal relations between individuals. The new technological space is insecure because the transactions depend on electronic operators that must be trusted for the transaction to succeed and not become a hoax or create unwanted damage. All the institutions of property law are involved. From contracts, as central traffic instruments, through liability for damages, intellectual and industrial properties, related aspects of personal data protection, payment instruments, etc. Electronic reality has meant a fundamental transformation of international legal relations between individuals. The new challenges that are yet to come will have to do with the “surveillance” instruments that have become widespread and with the massive incorporation of artificial intelligence, which, as stated, runs the risk of artificially generating an “obsolescence” of the human. Speaker biography: Professor of Private international right at University of Valladolid, Spain. Expertise topics: Electronic government and government regulation, Informatic regulation, XML and legislative documents. |

Dr. Yamine Ait Ameur
Conference theme: A formal model for system recovery Abstract: The substitution of a system by another one occurs in several cases like adaptation, failures, resilience, reconfiguration, self-healing, etc. System substitution consists in replacing a running system by another one when a given condition holds. In our approach, a system is defined as being a transition system. Each state is characterized by a set of variables and transitions denote state changes. In this talk, we present a stepwise formal approach for system substitution. Substitute systems are formalized by state-transitions systems modelled in Event-B, which refine a shared global specification. State recovery is performed when a failure in the running system occurs. In that case, modes are changed and control is transferred to the selected substitute system. The transfer of the control shall 1) preserve safety of the properties expressed as invariants and 2) identify the recovery state in the substitute system. Proof obligations associated to this substitution operation are defined. Speaker biography: Dr. Yamine Ait Ameur is a full time professor at INPT-ENSEEIHT, Toulouse-France. Since September 2011, He is professor at the computer science and Applied Mathematics Department (DIMA) at ENSEEIHT.

Dr. Enrique Mafla
Conference theme: Blockchain–based Mobile Wallet Abstract: This talk is more about confidence, than about a specific project. Complex processes like elections or currency systems are currently carried out under tight centralized control. Citizens have to rely on the competence, and, above all, on the ethical principles of a central authority. We present a system for monetary transactions, which uses blockchain technology to develop trust among users by distributing the control power. The Central Bank of Ecuador tried to implement the so called “electronic cash”, but failed. The main problem was the lack of trust on the ECB, which acted as the control center.

MSc. Luis Herrera Izquierdo e Ing. Cristina Rivera   Conference theme: Micro-Frontend: An extension of frontend microservices to migrate monolithic web applications Abstract Web applications change over time, as well as architectures and frameworks, so it is important to properly design the various components that interact in our architecture, so that they are maintainable and scalable over time. Lately, frontend web applications face a notable problem in terms of adding more features on the same page, turning them into monolithic applications. As a consequence, the development, integration and deployment processes become more complex. This presentation will show how to effectively build modern web applications using frameworks, microframewoks and multi-stage Docker for integration processes and continuous deployment. The end result of the use of these combined tools are micro-frontends that can be developed by different teams simultaneously and that can be integrated and deployed independently in short periods of time.
