Implementation of a Distributed System for Supervision of Computer Rooms Educational Usage in Academic Environments

摘要

This paper presents the development of a distributed system based on hardware and software, which through autonomous agents distributed in the network, registers and correlates events of use of computer equipment (operative system and application software processes, state of peripherals, user activity in each application, among others), and gives access control to the informatics room. This allows to determine, using monitored data analysis, the effectivity of the class pedagogical process, as well as the level of adequate use of computers. The systems also allows for the detection of undesirable cybersecurity situations, and to alert (under the precept of the right to privacy), to either the class professor or the informatics room administrator, the given issues. In this article, the Colombian context is presented first, followed by the applied methodology, its implementation process and the results obtained.
