RiSE is now International Partner of GeoDa Center |
|
RiSE-group is now officially recognized as "international partner" of GeoDa Center for Geospatial Analysis and Computation (Arizona State University). GeoDa, led by Professor Luc Anselin, is one of the most important centers of spatial analysis in the world. Besides being leaders in the development of new methodologies for geospatial analysis, Geoda Center implements these methods in software programs that are used worldwide.

RiSE Group traveled to Guatemala |
|
On Dec. 11 Prof. Juan Carlos Duque, RiSE Group (Research in Spatial Economics) Director, traveled to Guatemala, along with representatives of Deloitte & Touche, to make part of the auditor group hired by the National Electric Energy Commission ( CNEE) from Guatemala to verify the opening of economic offers and the offers selection for the construction, operation and exploitation of 817.9 miles of electric transmission lines that are part of the Expansion Plan Transportation Network of Electric Energy of that country.
Professor Duque was responsible for formulating the optimization model to reproduce the conditions of the sealed auction by the CNEE, so that the results of this model could be used to certify that the assignment of the contracts was the optimal.
Also served as adviser to the CNEE for tuning the software that the institution used to carry out the auction. The process was a success as the President of the Commission, Mr. Carlos Colom said. The Energy Company of Bogotá was the winner of the licitation when offered an annual canon of US$32 million 349 thousand 900 for electricity transport for 15 years. Auctions of this type will continue occurring in Central and South America, and Professor Duque expects RiSE to continue serving in this type of events to continue with the international projection of the youngest research group of EAFIT University.

El evento fue el 14 y 15 de septiembre en Plaza Mayor en la ciudad de Medellín. (ver http://www.tecnnova.org/) Article by EAFIT University El Research in Spatial Economics Group (Rise) de la Universidad EAFIT es un grupo pionero en Colombia en el desarrollo y aplicación de nuevos métodos cuantitativos para el análisis de información georreferenciada. Las herramientas del Rise permiten a otros investigadores y a instituciones públicas y privadas ir más allá de una visualización de datos en un mapa, hasta convertir las bases de datos georreferenciadas en un verdadero apoyo para la toma de decisiones. Nuestros métodos se caracterizan por su carácter multidisciplinario, que se logra gracias a un variado grupo de trabajo (un PhD en Matemáticas, un PhD en Economía y un PhD en Estudios Empresariales) y a la combinación de técnicas cuantitativas de áreas como la investigación de operaciones, la econometría, el análisis exploratorio de datos espaciales, las simulaciones, entre otros.
