Los Destinos Turísticos Inteligentes en el marco de la Inteligencia Territorial: conflictos y oportunidades

Ana Luque

Belén Zayas Fernández

Jose L. Caro

Este trabajo parte del convencimiento de que un destino turístico inteligente debe estar conformado por un territorio y un sistema turístico correctamente gestionado, por tanto, cualquier destino turístico inteligente debe ser un “territorio inteligente” y, dicha necesidad da razón de ser a esta comunicación ya que, desde finales de los años noventa, madura un enfoque científico, la “inteligencia territorial”, cuyo objetivo es constituir un conjunto de conocimientos pluridisciplinares que aseguren un uso sostenible del territorio en la vertiente ambiental, económica y social.En este trabajo se atenderá tanto al concepto como a los objetivos, herramientas o elementos que forman parte del término “inteligencia territorial”, y a los vínculos que el mismo puede presentar con los nuevos “destinos turísticos inteligentes”, tratando de identificar oportunidades y desafíos en la relación entre ambos conceptos.

The Phoenician diaspora in the westernmost Mediterranean: recent discoveries

José Suárez-Padilla

Víctor Jiménez-Jáimez

Jose L. Caro

Important discoveries over the past 15 years in the coastal area between Huelva and Málaga in Spain have illuminated the beginnings of the eighth-century BC Phoenician diaspora into the Western Mediterranean. Here, the authors combine Bayesian modelling of recently published radiocarbon dates with the latest archaeological data to investigate the Phoenician presence in southern Iberia. Their assessment of its significance for the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages in the Western Mediterranean contributes not only to understanding the integration of the Phoenicians into local communities, but also to apprehending the mechanisms of colonisation and pre-colonial situations elsewhere in protohistoric Europe and other world contexts.

Workflow: a solution for cooperative information system development

Jose L. Caro

A. Guevara

A. Aguayo

Workflow management includes concepts of special interest to the business organization field and for the automation of processes within a company. However, process modeling via workflow specifications and workflow management systems can be applied in any field where a workflow exists. The use of CASE tools provides a great increase in performance in information system development but, on the other hand, these tools do not support group work and make skipped steps possible in a methodology. Applying workflow management systems as a meta‐CASE tool together with the use of cooperative methodologies – that aim to capture user requirements – can help us to solve problems related to shortcomings in monitoring, controls, and audit information system development.

About Me

Degree in Computer Engineering (1995) and obtained a Certificate of Pedagogical Aptitude (1996). PhD in Computer Engineering (2003) and, years later, completed his education by beginning his career in the humanities with a Bachelor's Degree in History (2012) and a PhD in History (2022) from the University of Malaga. In the field, he has specialized in the analysis of chronology and temporality based on radiocarbon dating. He has been the principal investigator in the R&D&I projects of the National Plan “Archaeology and Heritage in Moat Enclosures: remote sensing, characterization, and protection of sites in the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula” and “Information system for the archaeological registration process,” both funded by the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness. In addition, focused on the application of ICTs to archaeology, he has been the principal investigator in the ERDF-funded infrastructure project “System for positioning, photogrammetry, and acquisition of 3D models for archaeology and heritage elements” . Radiocarbon and Bayesian analysis is his main line of research and is fundamental to these projects. The researcher has been responsible, among other sites, for the dating program for sector L of the Perdigões Archaeological Complex (41 dates), the subject of his doctoral thesis, La Beleña (Cabra-Córdoba) (64 dates), and the Cerro del Villar PGI " Nature and Temporality of the Archaic Phoenician Territorial Project in the Bay of Malaga (2022-2026).
