Syllabus

WEEK 1
¿Qué es, cómo es y para qué sirve la información geográfica?
Te damos la bienvenida al módulo 1 de nuestro curso. En este módulo respondemos a las preguntas ¿Qué es, cómo es y para qué sirve la información geográfica? Para ello nos centramos en aprender sobre la potencia de la información geográfica, el marco de referencia geográfico y el modelaje y representación de la información geográfica.

WEEK 2
¿Qué podemos hacer con la información geográfica?
Bienvenido al segundo módulo del curso. En este módulo responderemos a la pregunta ¿Qué podemos hacer con la información geográfica? Para ellos nos centraremos en estudiar cuatro temas principales: El análisis espacial y cuáles SIG hay disponibles, las operaciones básicas y el uso de análisis espacial y aprenderemos cómo resolver problemas espaciales más complejos mediante el modelamiento cartográfico.

WEEK 3
Cambio climático y mal de Chagas en Colombia
Te damos la bienvenida al tercer módulo del curso. En este módulo nos enfocaremos en aprender acerca del cambio climático y el mal de Chagas, muy conocido en Colombia. Para ello, avanzaremos en tres temas principales: cómo preparar la información geográfica en temas de salud humana y el cambio climático, ubicaremos dónde está el mal de Chagas en Colombia como caso de estudio, y reflexionaremos sobre condiciones del futuro para mapear el mal de Chagas, como análisis de un caso. 

WEEK 4
Observación de la Tierra con sensores remotos
Te damos la bienvenida al cuarto y último módulo del curso. En este módulo nos enfocaremos en el tema de la observación de la tierra con sensores remotos. Para ello entenderemos y trabajaremos con los cubos de datos y realizaremos nuestra actividad de proyecto final.

Advanced Modeling for Discrete Optimization (Coursera)

Optimization is a common form of decision making, and is ubiquitous in our society. Its applications range from solving Sudoku puzzles to arranging seating in a wedding banquet. The same technology can schedule planes and their crews, coordinate the production of steel, and organize the transportation of iron ore from the mines to the ports. Good decisions in manpower and material resources management also allow corporations to improve profit by millions of dollars.

Quantitative Formal Modeling and Worst-Case Performance Analysis (Coursera)

Welcome to Quantitative Formal Modeling and Worst-Case Performance Analysis. In this course, you will learn about modeling and solving performance problems in a fashion popular in theoretical computer science, and generally train your abstract thinking skills. After finishing this course, you have learned to think about the behavior of systems in terms of token production and consumption, and you are able to formalize this thinking mathematically in terms of prefix orders and counting functions. You have learned about Petri-nets, about timing, and about scheduling of token consumption/production systems, and for the special class of Petri-nets known as single-rate dataflow graphs, you will know how to perform a worst-case analysis of basic performance metrics, like throughput, latency and buffering.
