Classical clustering algorithms often require an a-priori number of expected clusters and the presence of all documents beforehand. From practical point of view, the use of these algorithms especially in more dynamic environments dealing with growing or shrinking corpora therefore is not applicable. Within the last years, graph-based representations of knowledge such as co-occurrence graphs…

In the phosphate industry, sulfuric acid is a key compound in phosphoric acid and fertilizer production. Industrially, the sulfuric acid H2SO4 is made generally in a sequence of three main steps: burning liquid sulfur with air, catalytic oxidation of sulfur dioxide SO2 to sulfur trioxide SO3, and formation of H2SO4 by the reaction of H2O…

A liquid petroleum storage facility (Terminal), is a platform used to store petroleum products. Terminals plays a strategic role on the oil and gas supply chain. There are three types of terminals: a fully automated terminal, a partially automated terminal and a fully manual terminal. To increase their efficiency and safety in a very competitive…

The document describes the advancement of technology in commercial negotiations and functionality for various electronic transactions in Ecuador, with the aim of analyzing the blockchain and its adoption in managing e-commerce. The quantitative approach with a deductive and descriptive method has been used to identify the benefits in transactional activities and data security, both customers…

This article develops the design and implementation of an industrial network for the control and supervision of the process of dispatching acetic acid, which aims to reduce the presence of this chemical in the environment, since the process is activated manually by the operators; what generates a lack of precision in several stages of the…

The Citrix NetScaler CPX, is one of the many Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs), which is used mainly for load balancing between the application servers in a datacenter network. ADCs are typically placed in the demilitarized zone in an organization’s network, handling the connectivity of the external clients to the organization’s servers. While performing load balancing…

This paper is an extension of work originally presented in 2018 Global Smart Industry Conference (GloSIC). Researches are devoted to the development of Smart technology for complex objects control and prediction on the basis of a distributed Honeywell DCS control system of the TengizChevroil enterprise using the example of a technological process of medium pressure…

This article is an extended version of the study presented at the IEEE Ecuador Technical Chapters Meeting (ETCM)-2016. At that time, a methodological proposal was designed, implemented, and applied in a group of industrial plants for the management of the information security of the Industrial control systems (ICS). The present study displays an adaptation and…
