Data-Driven decision-making processes

Description

This research area explores multiple facets of data-driven decision-making processes in an holistic manner: from data-gathering to the computation and visualitzation of high-level indicators, including advanced techniques to support decision-making, such as AI-based predictive algorithms and what-if-analysis.

Projects Overview

Title	Type	Goal
FIREPRIME	Research	FIREPRIME aims to establish an EU-wide program promoting fire resilience in Wildland–Urban Interface (WUI) communities. It will develop a toolkit including a smartphone app aimed at enhancing wildfire resilience in households.
GLiDE: Integrated Gamified Learning Dashboard Environment	Teaching innovation	Project to enhance the user experience and introduce gamification elements into the Learning Dashboard.
Learning Dashboard	Teaching innovation	Project to gather data generated by the software development tools used by students, mainly code version management and project management tools, in order to define learning metrics, factors, and indicators that are integrated, visualized, and monitored in an analytic dashboard.

Outcomes/Main Contributions

Research:

GLiDE:
- GLiDE: Integrated Gamified Learning Dashboard Environment
Learning Dashboard:
- LD@Taiga: An Embedded Learning Dashboard for Agile Project Management in Student Teams
- Supporting Students in Team-Based Software Development Projects: An Exploratory Study
- Implantación de un cuadro de mando para el seguimiento del progreso de proyectos software desarrollados por equipos de estudiantes

Technology Transfer:

FirePrime App: an app to prevent fires in homes located in rural areas. The application implements a questionnaire based on fire prevention models and, based on user responses, calculates various indicators assessing the fire risk of the house. The app also provides mitigation strategies to reduce such risk based on the computed indicators.
Learning Dasbhoard toolkit: A set of tools implementing the Learning Dashboard and its extensions, including the Learning Dashboard web application, its chrome-plugin for Taiga, and its gamification (GLiDE), among others.

Teaching:

The Learning Dashboard has been succesfully deployed and used in the following courses, supporting students in the development of their software projects, while enabling professors to effectively monitor their progress:
- Web Services and Applications of the Bachelor degree in Informatics Engineering at FIB - UPC.
- Software Engineering Project of the Bachelor degree in Informatics Engineering at FIB - UPC.
- Further Software Engineering of the Bachelor degree in Informatics Engineering at EPSEVG - UPC.
