62 2020 Yearbook STUDENT PROJECTS WITH EXTERNAL ORGANIZATIONS 2020 School of Engineering Astrolytics: Market data analysis and generation of business metrics Authors: Federico Machado and Augusto Varela Organization: Astroselling The purpose of this project was to develop a prototype solution for Astroselling, a platform for inventory management, sales, and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) synchronization that operates on Mercado Libre, targeting medium and large companies seeking to enter the digital market. The main objective was to create a product capable of providing added value to data processing, offering users statistics and information with which they can make decisions that impact their business. The team used a Scrum-based work methodology and, as quality assurance measures, followed community coding standards such as StandardJS and PEP 8, quality attribute definitions from ISO 9126, and user validations using betas and satisfaction surveys. Additionally, development followed a lifecycle based on the PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) methodology. The solution consists of an ecosystem of three components separated by responsibilities: Scraper, which is responsible for scanning the digital marketplace and obtaining data for processing; Analytics, which processes data from Scraper and generates valuable reports for the user; and Commander, which functions as a frontend for consumers. The first two are developed in Python and the third in Angular. Major: Systems Engineering Advisor: Ricardo Szyfer, Eng. GI5: Agnostic GIS Connector Authors: Jorge Pérez Sauciuc and Gabriel Rezk Organization: Sonda Uruguay The objective of this project was to develop software that provides interoperability between the smart city and security solutions that Sonda Uruguay has installed for various clients, and five GIS (Geographic Information Systems), with the possibility of adding more in the future. A GIS is a system that allows users to obtain, store, manipulate, manage, analyze, and model geospatial data and integrates various types of data and tools, enabling deeper insights into this data—such as patterns, relationships, and situations—that help users make more effective decisions. There are several GIS options on the market, such as Google Maps and Bing Maps, each with different features and methods of integrating with third-party systems. Sonda, a company dedicated to offering services using innovative technologies, has composed of various components that utilize these services. The client requested the inclusion of five GIS providers to cover a broad market share and provide diversity at different levels, such as open-source and cloud options, among others. The success of a project of this nature lies in a system capable of managing and visualizing geospatial information in a user-friendly environment. To build this product, the team utilized Scrum and BDD (Behavior-Driven Development) methodologies. Degree Program: Systems Engineering Advisor: A/S Álvaro Ortas
