This course is located on the training and innovation projects line in the engineering program at the Universidad de los Andes. After the first semester experience in development projects with ExpoAndes, for a semester students will work on the definition and development of innovative projects with information technology. These projects have the ambition to be sustainable over time and internationally competitive.,English,- This dynamic must be reinforced with the knowledge and skills acquired in the second half of the engineering education. The activities of the students in the graduation project, which has a vocation of synthesis, can be a success factor for some of these projects started in this course, so they might be able to find a space in the business world and/or academic.

The goal of this course is to study the more important aspects that must be considered for choosing and maintaining the computational infrastructure for supporting the activities of a project or enterprise,English,- The main problems that are considered are: capacity planning, transactions security, performance evaluation and servers securing. Additionally, other topics related to the above mentioned problems are studied: concurrency, deadlocks, asynchronous programming, virtual memory, file systems, machine states, memory protection and virtual machines.

This is a first course of computer networks. Under a top-down approach, it presents each one of the levels that compose the protocol stack of a network, with special emphasis in TCP/IP that is in the base of the Internet. TCP/IP is used like example of real implementation of the fundamental concepts of networks, without forgetting the protocols and implementations of different network architectures. Specificities are additionally introduced to understand how to adapt these concepts to new technologies like wireless networks. Special emphasis is put to understand the impact on both security and performance of current networking implementations.,English,- The course has two equally important components: theoretical lectures and practical laboratories. Laboratories not only illustrate the practical part of the most important concepts seen in the theoretical classes, but also they complement in themes that seek to give to students new skills useful in the practice of the profession.

This course studies the persistence problem of huge amounts of shared data in transactional systems

Study the way of understanding a complex organizational structure in order to design a high level IT architecture that allows supporting business objects the best way possible. Such design must specify a project roadmap that allows the organization to move forward from its actual situation, or AS-IS, to the objective situation, or TO-BE. Each project must group a set of requirements.

This course provides skills and knowledge to use mathematical, informatics and technological tools for designing, building, and validating models that solve complex problems. These problems are characterized by having a solution space so big that exhaustive search cannot be used to find an optimal answer; having multiple, conflicting restrictions and objectives; and involving dynamic and/or multidisciplinary environments. Once a model is built using adequate formalisms, it is validated using analytical methods or simulations. Once validated, the behavior of the model is analyzed to find a solution to the problem. Optimization techniques are also applied to improve the performance of the models or to better approximate the solution

To develop software design and software architecture abilities based on shared experienced of academic researchers and industrial practitioners documented as styles, patterns and tactics. Also the student will understand the impact of the technology choosen in the software architecture.

The purpose of the course for the student is to acquire practical experience through the development of a medium-sized project in groups of five students. For this, we use an iterative delivery process by stages, supported by computational tools.

Course -Lab to develop abilities to compete in programming contests following the standard model of ACM ICPC (International College Programming Contest)
