Vol. 3 No. 1 (2022): Revista ODIGOS

We are pleased to present issue 1, volume 3 of the ODIGOS Journal, the first of the year 2022. In this opportunity we make available to the entire academic community 05 articles as a result of researches elaborated with high scientific and methodological rigor, and that contribute significantly to various areas of knowledge.

As in all our publications, the papers submitted have gone through a process of selection, refereeing, correction and editing, which are in accordance with the lines approved by the Universidad Tecnológica Israel, the publisher of our journal.

In this sense, the papers presented are:

"Android service to interface mosquitto messaging broker (MQTT)" is the title of the first article presented, in this, the authors determine as an objective to develop a service on Android, which serves as an interface with the messaging broker Mosquitto (MQTT) that provides a suitable mechanism to receive requests from an Android application and at the same time also notifies that some data has arrived, same that are stored in the SQLITE manager, which uses few computational resources and is suitable for small applications, which are testing protocols and messaging servers.

The second published work is called "Automation with mobile application for appointment scheduling in hairdressing salons", in which the application is conceived from two perspectives, the user, i.e., customers of the hairdressing salon and the administrator. The development of the application will be carried out under Visual Studio XAMARIN. As part of the conclusions, it is established that, although the application is in its initial phase, the experimental results show that consolidated businesses (hairdressing salons) that handle a massive number of clients could benefit from automation in their appointment scheduling process.

On the other hand, the authors of "Design of a mobile application for product promotion", after an analysis of the need that entrepreneurs have to publicize their products or services, set out to develop a prototype for Android mobile devices, which allows the creation of a product catalog, based on inference methods, bibliographic sources and summarized surveys on the commercial preferences of consumers and favorite brands, three aspects that are important for users when shopping are: addresses, prices and location, which are the key points to design the proposed application.

While in "Second Mind" a mobile application for the storage of user memories, it was a primordial part to identify the user's need, as well as the requirements for the prototype to be effective. With just the use of this mobile app, which has a friendly interface, you can have texts, tutorials and even record a URL or images, using your own device camera, so you will bring and remember any information you need immediately.

Finally, the last paper "Analyzing Internet of Things and Cloud Computing", presents a study of 2 new technologies that have been growing by leaps and bounds in recent years, one of them is the Internet of Things (IoT), which allows users to connect billions of smart machines and exchange information, monitor and control services. The other is Cloud Computing, which refers to the access, configuration and operation of resources in remote locations. As part of the conclusions it is obtained that the combination between IoT and Cloud Computing could build an IT superpower that will create technologies that are currently unimaginable and new fields of research that will benefit humanity.

The impact of this research, within the scientific community, will allow rethinking models and tools to generate intervention proposals that contribute to the solution of certain existing problems in society, related to the topics discussed here.

In this way, we leave this material for the transfer and dissemination of knowledge at the disposal of the readers.
