La ilustre incertidumbre

La incertidumbre como herramienta de la ingeniería de software

Uncertainty can be harmful in some cases and beneficial in other cases. At the beginning, the software universe only appreciates the beneficial side of uncertainty, although it took advantage of it. Software is practically useless without uncertainty. Nowadays, uncertainty is more used as a tool but this is not recognized and it causes several problems. In that sense, this work proves uncertain...

Cálculo de la Incertidumbre en la Medición Visual de los Parámetros de un Péndulo de Foucault

We present a method for determining the uncertainty in the measurement of parameters that describe the dynamics of a Foucault's pendulum. In the document, we review how these parameters can be obtained. Then, we propose a method for evaluating the uncertainty in their determination. We illustrate the method with experimentation made on a 28m height pendulum located at 20° 35' north latitude.

Evaluation of Project Duration Uncertainty using the Dependency Structure Matrix and Monte Carlo Simulations Evaluación de la incertidumbre en la duración de proyectos usando la Matriz de Estructura Dependiente y Simulaciones de Monte Carlo

The sequence of tasks is vital to the development of any project. The order of tasks is influenced by the information flow among them. The dependency structure matrix (DSM) can be used to model information flow. However, the information used by the DSM, including task duration, time required for communication, and task overlap, can have uncertain values. The aim of this paper is to analyze the ...

Uncertainty propagation of meteorological and emission data in modeling pollutant dispersion in the atmosphere Propagación de la incertidumbre de los datos meteorológicos y de emisión en el modelado de la dispersión de contaminantes en la atmósfera

Variability is true heterogeneity existing within a population that cannot be reduced or eliminated by more or better determinations. Uncertainty represents ignorance about poorly characterized phenomena, but it can be reduced by collecting more data. The aim of this paper was to study the impact of the variability and uncertainty of the main variables, i.e., emissions and meteorology, of the P...
