Realizar un control efectivo en la programación de obra ha sido una constante necesidad en los últimos tiempos, para ello se han desarrollado diversas metodologías que tienen distintas funciones objetivo, diferentes restricciones y por lo tanto resultados variables. Una de estas metodologías es Resource Leveling Problem (RLP). Anteriores investigaciones han demostrado que el uso de algoritmos de metaheurísticas para buscar solución a este tipo de problemas es bastante eficiente como por ejemplo Harmony Search. Teniendo en cuenta lo anterior este proyecto de grado desarrolló una herramienta de visualización utilizando el Simulated Anneling Algorithm (SAA) para encontrar una solución ...
In this rich anthology of Guatemalan political writing, editors Zimmerman and Rojas have taken excerpts from poems, novels, stories, and essays and woven them into a powerful narrative of Guatemala's past.

Guatemalan indigenous rights activist Rigoberta Menchu first came to international prominence following the 1983 publication of her memoir, I, Rigoberta Menchu, which chronicled in compelling detail the violence and misery that she and her people suffered during her country's brutal civil war.

This book illuminates the contemporary cultural production of Guatemala by highlighting peace and social justice - not as accomplished political and economic goals, but as perpetual motives for social transformation in Central America.
