DESDEO: The Modular and Open Source Framework for Interactive Multiobjective Optimization
2021
Interactive multiobjective optimization methods incorporate preferences from a human decision maker in the optimization process iteratively. This allows the decision maker to focus on a subset of solutions, learn about the underlying trade-offs among the conflicting objective functions in the problem and adjust preferences during the solution process. Incorporating preference information allows computing only solutions that are interesting to the decision maker, decreasing computation time significantly. Thus, interactive methods have many strengths making them viable for various applications. However, there is a lack of existing software frameworks to apply and experiment with interactive …
Dry selection and wet evaluation for the rational discovery of new anthelmintics
2017
Helminths infections remain a major problem in medical and public health. In this report, atom-based 2D bilinear indices, a TOMOCOMD-CARDD (QuBiLs-MAS module) molecular descriptor family and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) were used to find models that differentiate among anthelmintic and non-anthelmintic compounds. Two classification models obtained by using non-stochastic and stochastic 2D bilinear indices, classified correctly 86.64% and 84.66%, respectively, in the training set. Equation 1(2) correctly classified 141(135) out of 165 [85.45%(81.82%)] compounds in external validation set. Another LDA models were performed in order to get the most likely mechanism of action of anthelmin…
QuBiLS-MAS, open source multi-platform software for atom- and bond-based topological (2D) and chiral (2.5D) algebraic molecular descriptors computati…
2017
Background In previous reports, Marrero-Ponce et al. proposed algebraic formalisms for characterizing topological (2D) and chiral (2.5D) molecular features through atom- and bond-based ToMoCoMD-CARDD (acronym for Topological Molecular Computational Design-Computer Aided Rational Drug Design) molecular descriptors. These MDs codify molecular information based on the bilinear, quadratic and linear algebraic forms and the graph-theoretical electronic-density and edge-adjacency matrices in order to consider atom- and bond-based relations, respectively. These MDs have been successfully applied in the screening of chemical compounds of different therapeutic applications ranging from antimalarials…
Izšķirošās IKT izvēles nākamās digitālās dekādes robežšķirtnē Latvijas skolu izglītības politikas veidošanas sistēmā : promocijas darbs Vadības dokto…
2008
Darbā aplūkotas vairākas izšķirošas izvēles, kuras ir jāveic Latvijas izglītības sistēmai tuvākajos gados sakarā ar pasaules ieiešanu nākamajā digitālajā dekādē, ko pavada ne tikai būtiskas datoru infrastruktūras un lietojumu izmaiņas, bet arī pārmaiņas visā sabiedrībā kopumā, tajā skaitā vadības metodēs, koncepcijās un, līdz ar to arī izglītības sfērā un izglītības vadībā (IV) it īpaši. Darbs veltīts šo pārmaiņu teorētiskajai un praktiskajai bāzei, īpašu uzmanību pievēršot atklātā pirmkoda programmatūras (APP) lietošanas iespējām un aspektiem mācību procesā Latvijas skolās, galveno uzmanību pievēršot operētājsistēmu, biroja programmatūras un interneta risinājumu, tajā skaitā e-mācību, izvē…
Open-Source software in OR education
2010
24th European Conference on Operational Research (EURO XXIV). Lisboa, 11 a 14 de Julho de 2010 (Comunicação). This contribution will focus on Computational Tools of Open-Source Software in OR Education. Some educational experiences in the area of Forecasting; Simulation; Graphs and Networks; Decision Theory and Linear Programming based on: R 2.10.0, Scilab 5.1.1 and an Open Source Spreadsheet will be illustrated, with a brief reference to the acceptance of pupils and colleagues.
An introduction to Open Source software licensing and use in anaesthesia department
2007
EU member states are supporting the Open Source initiative suggesting the adoption of free software in government installation instead of commercial software. The latest national laws suggest adoption of Open Source solutions in educational structures as well, such as in schools and universities. It is clear that imprisoning knowledge with license fees does not allow any improvement nor any growth.
Balancing on a tightrope: Managing the boundaries of a firm-sponsored OSS community and its impact on innovation and absorptive capacity
2014
Realizing the innovation potential of OSS communities, firms now create or sponsor their own open source software (OSS) communities, generally as part of an open innovation strategy. However, maximizing the innovation capability of a sponsored OSS community is a challenging task since firms cannot rely on traditional hierarchical authority to control community members. Furthermore, a firm's efforts to manage its sponsored community may also impact the firm's absorptive capacity, or its ability to effectively absorb and leverage the valuable knowledge created by the community. Thus, the purpose of this article is to investigate two research questions: 1) How does the boundary management of a…

Viejos paisajes, nuevas tecnologías: una reconstrucción del paisaje Holoceno con gvSIG y sextante
2010
Con el objetivo de reconstruir el paisaje geomorfológico de finales del cuaternario y comienzos del Holoceno, se ha utilizado gvSIG y sextante para intentar establecer el paisaje a partir de los datos de campoarquelógicos y geomorfológicos recogidos durante una veintena de años en la cuenca media y alta del río Serpis. La evolución cuaternaria es la historia de un vaciado (erosión + denudación) de los valles del curso alto y medio del Serpis, con algunas interrupciones (fases de sedimentación). Testigos de dicha evolución son las terrazas fluviales adscritas por nosotros a diversos periodos del Cuaternario. La combinación de métodos tradicionales y el trabajo con el uso de herramientas SIG …
Adoption of Open Source Software and Software-as-a- Service Models in the Telecommunication Industry
2011
A case research is carried out on adoption of open source software (OSS) and software-as-a-service (SaaS) in the telecommunication industry. The study was conducted to examine the types of software deployed as OSS and SaaS and the conditions of adopting OSS and SaaS. Findings of the case study indicate that industry-specific software is not developed as OSS or deployed in SaaS mode. Based on the findings, we also arrive at conclusion: Adoption is hindered by specificity of processes and technology interfaces.
