Summary: The mission of the research group on Computer-Aided Engineering of Circuits and Systems (CAECAS) is to advance state-of-the-art computer-aided, knowledge-based modeling, design and optimization of electronic devices and systems by making use of high-precision simulators. Website

Summary: The research and development of algorithms for application in communications and digital signal processing focuses on the processing and efficient transmission of data and the low energy consumption of the implementations. Two relevant examples in the field of communications are research into the transmission techniques used in wired and wireless multiple-link networks called MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) systems, and research into low-energy-consumption systems that use the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) protocol applied to the Internet of Things (IOT). To conduct this type of research, it is necessary to project the architecture, and then design and implement algorithms on which these wired and wireless communication systems can be based by means of digital signal processing.

Summary: The purpose of this project is to improve the performance of package predictors on networks in order to control the congestion of network protocols. It is based on the modeling of parametric method estimators aimed at wireless personal-area networks for the generation of information from the spectral analysis of delay processes in low-power networks.

Summary: Embedded systems comprise an extensive area of the fields of electronic engineering, control theory, robotics, computer science and the Internet of Things (IoT), among others. This project aims at offering a general framework for carrying out future projects related to Embedded Systems.

Sub-projects :

Summary: The purpose of this project is to design and construct a node for monitoring variables that indicate environmental conditions. This node must be capable of forming a sensor network with other nodes of the same characteristics within the geographical area of large city, so that the information generated is shared within a system that will manage and make use of the information. *Subproject developed by the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Occidente (ITESO) as part of the Project "Creation of a Living Lab to develop solutions in smart cities".

Summary: The purpose of this project is to design efficient signal pre-distortion algorithms for the next generation of optical access networks based on the orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme. The use of semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA) is of special interest, given their potential advantages in this context (great bandwidth, low cost, compactness, functional flexibility, and gain dynamics that lend themselves to meteor burst communications).

Summary: The general purpose of this project is to study, develop and optimize components, means of communication and architectures that will allow for the efficient, safe and energy-saving use of wireless sensor networks applied to the services that a smart city must provide for its citizens.

Summary: Macro or integrating project for proposing new modeling and control methods and algorithms for electromechanical systems, with an eye to solving problems related to robotics, aeronautics, and the automobile industry. The project has four subprojects: Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation Laboratory for the Design, Testing and Evaluation of Real-Time Control Systems; Embedded Control for Electromechanical Systems; Robust Control for Vision-Guided Robotic Systems; and Vision and Control Algorithms for Autonomous Unmanned Vehicles.

Summary: The purpose of this project (September 2015 – August 2016) is to test a POC (point-of-care) diagnosis system for detecting tuberculosis (TB) in humans. The proof-of-concept is a continuation of the device developed by the UNIMA-SAPI company. The detection of the TB bacteria is achieved through the recognition of images of the agglutination of a blood sample taken from a tuberculosis patient and placed on the device. The solution developed by the company has thus far not been able to reliably indicate the presence of the TB bacteria. The proof-of-concept to be developed in this stage of the project consists of measuring and quantifying the variation in the physicochemical properties during the reaction of the blood sample in the presence of the TB bacteria; the transductor of the physicochemical reaction and the circuit for the electronic reading are being designed.

Summary: The purpose of this project is to analyze, model and simulate iterative or cyclical systems that need to adapt over time to improve their performance or reach stability in the face of changes in their environment. The project primarily addresses issues related to self-organizing sensor networks, multi-agent systems, physical simulation and smart cities.

Summary: The purpose of this project is to formulate a learning method by developing software that enables students to practice the table normalization mechanisms of a relational database model.

Summary: The purpose of this project is to develop and implement efficient software for various areas of application, based on efficient algorithms created with methodologies for the design, modeling, analysis and implementation of discrete-event systems that have been proposed or studied.

Summary: The purpose of this project is to research and develop new computer paradigms (methodologies and algorithms) for the digital processing of signals obtained from multispectral remote-sensing systems, using artificial intelligence techniques and distributed computing to produce a robust, adaptive design that can be implemented at the software level in real execution time..

Summary: The purpose of this project is to design and implement algorithms that will increase the efficiency and precision of the methods involved in variable selection and pattern recognition.

Summary: Proposal of a methodology based on norm NMX-GT-003 for the implementation of an innovation management system for SMEs associated with ITESO's Center for Innovation and Technology Management (CEGINT).

Summary: The purpose of this project is to propose models that will provide support to organizations (specifically SMEs) in the use and management of Information Technology (IT), using the Science Service, Management and Engineering (SSME) framework as a reference. This project will support technology research and development in the fields of IT management with methodological proposals applied to the context of companies and organizations.

Summary: The remarkable progress made in the field of Information Technology (IT) has led to ideas for administrative improvements in companies and organizations that previously lacked the IT tools make these improvements happen. One very relevant new idea proposes running a business on the basis of its business processes. Business-process-based improvement has proven to be crucial for the success of a wide range of companies. The project looks for relevant variables and aspects for designing and operating business processes that can help primarily medium-sized enterprises to improve their operations and center them on the customer and on the business value that will really make them competitive, with the support of information systems.
