Work done and future research lines

During the last ten years I started to work with artificial intelligence techniques, at the first time I learned how to represent knowledge so I used Machine Learning strategies, since I presented my project thesis I started to research in Knowledge Management from the social point of view, so I reviewed works like:

• Fritz Machlup, “The production and distribution of Knowledge in the United States” 1972
• Peter Druker, “The Post-Capitalist Society ”, 1993 [1]
• Yoneji Masuda, “The Information Society as Post-Industrial Society”, 1981
• NONAKA Ikujiro, TAKEUCHI, Hirotaka “La organización creadora de conocimiento. Cómo las compañías japonesas crean la dinámica de la innovación”, 1999.
• Gibbons, Michael, Limoges, Camille;Nowotny, Helga; Schwartzman, Simon; Scott, Peter; Trow, Martin. “The new production of knowledge;The dynamics of science and research in contemporary societies”. 1994.
• Thomas Kuhn, “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions”, University of Chicago Press, Chicago, 1962 y 1969

As a result we published a video called “Ciudad del conocimiento o de la información” [2] and I presented several conferences related with subjects as Knowledge Based Economies [4], new paradigm: information vs. knowledge [5] and also we have several publications:

• E-commerce web-based application, semantic knowledge applied to small and medium business (SMBs), Javier Gramajo-López, Willy Peitzner Rosal, October 2009, Engineering Faculty, USAC.

• Prediction using Genetic Algorithms, Javier Gramajo-López, Samuel David Orozco y Orozco, July 2007, Engineering Faculty, USAC.

The relationships between science, technology and the economy in the Americas, is an interesting subject of study. I have these possible ideas to develop:

Semantic knowledge model to understand the relations between:

• Capital, work and knowledge in Brazil and Latin America
• State, industry and academy in Brazil and Latin America.
• Science, technology and the economy Brazil and Latin America.

Knowledge-based economies in Brazil and Latin America:

• From information to knowledge in emerging economies.
• Knowledge management through ICTs applied to small and medium business (SMBs)
• Emerging economies and the capital relocation

As a current president of the Informatics and Information Technologies Commission (ITC sector), at the National Council of Science and Technology (CONCYT), and president of fundaTICs an R+D+i Association, in that position we proposed public policies and initiatives to promote the R+D+i work, the incorporation of researchers at universities and research institutes in Guatemala.

• Promote the creation of the legal framework for the use and application of ICTs, and Free Software at public institutions
• Promote the creation of the legal framework for the technology waste management and recycling
• Encouraging the dissemination of the legal framework of the newly adopted Law of electronic signature
• Promote the creation of the legal framework for incorporate and incentives to Guatemalan scientists at universities and research institutes
