Rural community tourism (RCT) is an activity that contributes, from rural areas, to the socioeconomic and sustainable development of a country. The purpose of this research study was to develop an Intelligent Platform (IP) that meets the needs of the different stakeholders of the RCT. It presents the experience focused on requirements engineering, going through different iterations, where the SWOT analysis was performed, along with the use of extreme programming, compliance with ISO 25010, among others. The precise identification of the requirements was crucial for the implementation and usability of the platform to have a social impact on the direct actors.

Stress in cattle is one of the main factors that generate economic losses in the livestock sector (e.g., reduction in the quality of milk or meat). In this field, heat stress has been considered as one of the main types of stress that negatively affects cattle. In addition, thanks to the arising of the Internet of Things in Animal Health, some researchers have proposed systems and models for the detection of this type of stress in an automated way, collecting and using data from meteorological variables (e.g., temperature, humidity), heart rate and others. However, the proposed models are mainly focused on heat stress detection that uses threshold-based estimation to determine the presence of stress; but, the level of stress experienced by cows can vary depending on their breed, or their ability to adapt to the environment where they are located. Therefore, in this project we propose an ...
