“…In these areas in particular, but also in engineering, the new technologies have eased the application of PBLs in faceto-face [7], blended learning [8] and on-line [9] [10] education. This involves using Computational Environments (CE), to provide students with access to virtual laboratories or software simulators (such as simulations to support the evaluation process of urban design projects [11]), or specific software tools (such as Architrave to analyse building structures [12]). These CEs provide hardware, software and specific configuration to involve the students in more realistic scenarios through specific activities.…”

The ODISEA platform provides Virtualized Computational Environments (VCEs) on cloud providers as the computational infrastructure to support educational activities. A VCE consists of a collection of one or more Virtual Machines (VMs) to which the students connect from their own computers. In this paper a case study is presented in the architecture domain where a PBL activity is carried out in working groups. The study involves 293 students organized in 28 pilot groups that use customized VCEs created and deployed through the ODISEA platform on a Cloud, and 30 traditional groups that use a LMS platform. The VCE provides the software, hardware and specific configuration to ease the interrelation and cooperative work between the working groups, enhancing the process tracking and feedback gathering as well as providing a better organization of the teaching material. The results demonstrate that the VCE allows to improve the cooperative work, improving the final marks in the PBL developed by the pilot working groups. Also, an economical study is presented, highlighting the economic benefits of the Cloud with respect to traditional physical laboratories of PCs.

Research Purpose: The purpose of this research is to analyze a G+20 reinforced concrete building in Amman, specifically focusing on its behavior under gravitational loading and wind, Applied Research Method: The research employs four types of static analysis: linear elastic analysis, geometric nonlinear analysis, physical nonlinear analysis, and physical and geometric nonlinear analysis. The OpenSees opensource program, developed at the University of California, Berkeley using C++ language, is used as the platform for the study, Principal Results: The research reveals significant differences in the results obtained from the various types of analyses performed. The linear elastic analysis, geometric nonlinear analysis, physical nonlinear analysis, and physical and geometric nonlinear analysis produce varying results. The effort (forces and stresses) experienced by a specific beam on different floors also exhibits reasonable variation, Major Conclusions: Based on the analysis results, it can be concluded that considering geometric and physical nonlinearity is crucial in accurately modeling the behavior of the reinforced concrete building. The use of the OpenSees program, along with the corotational formulation to account for large rotations and the P-Delta method for result validation, proves effective in capturing the complex behavior of the structure. The study highlights the importance of considering concrete cracking and reinforcement plasticity with precision to better understand the structural response.

This paper describes the developments to produce EC3 (Elastic Cloud Computing Cluster), a tool that creates self-managed cost-efficient virtual hybrid elastic clusters on top of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Clouds. Using spot instances, together with checkpointing techniques, EC3 can significantly reduce the total cost of executions while introducing automatic fault tolerance. Moreover, EC3 can deploy and manage hybrid clusters across on-premises and public Cloud resources, thus introducing Cloud bursting capabilities.A case study is presented to assess the effectiveness of the tool featuring the structural dynamic analysis of buildings. In addition, checkpointing algorithms are evaluated in a real Cloud environment with existing workloads to study their effectiveness. The results show the feasibility and benefits of this type of clusters for computationally intensive applications.
