The Acantelys Research Group based in Venezuela, is a private and independent team of Latin-American researchers, directed by Professor Juan Martinez. Actually, “The Free University project” have no support or official recognition of any public or private institution. All our Researchs were made without any government or private financial support and without access to expensive and well-equipped laboratories of computer and telecommunications, only using PCs and laptops running simulation software. Acantelys has successfully published in 12 World Congresses and 10 International Conferences of technology management and computer engineering and telecommunications, representing “Ad Honorem” to 8 Venezuelan universities.

Acantelys is a nonprofit cooperative; our organization is inspired by the principles and objectives of the IEEE. We are currently developing the “e-university project Acantelys Alan Turing Nikola Tesla” for the creation of a free university online, we are taking our first steps. Actually, we are giving “free” academic tutoring support in 6 universities in the Guayana region of Venezuela.

What are our principal research areas? What is a MOOC?
 * 1) Movile Computing: Ad hoc Communications networks, Hybrid Intelligent mobile nodes (NOMOHi), Artificial intelligence in low-power computing devices with minimum energy consumption, intra-vehicle communications, Survival of communications in Rural Areas, New software engineering paradigms and applications of in mobile devices; Smart Object applications, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), Internet of Things (IoT), Personal Area Networks (PAN) and  Machine to machine (M2M); Movile Cloud.
 * 2) IT Management: Technological projects, management of information systems, innovation, technology watch, Entrepreneurship, analytical e-business, e-Marketing, HR (RR.HH) in technology companies.
 * 3) Educational Technology: Independent research, Human integration – Computer (HCI), platforms for massive e-learning (MOOC), Simulation environments for research and Use of virtual labs for “simulation of real work experience” in distance education using Mobile Devices.
 * 4) Telecommunications Systems: Networking LAN / WAN, Wireless networks, Wireless Security LAN / WLAN, Convergence and Voice / IP networks, Modern operating systems.

We are preparing our courses to suit type MOOC free platforms (Massive open online course), which allow us to provide technology education and professional training, free of cost to low-income students in Latin America and Worldwide.

Undergraduate Research:

"Is the exploration of a specific topic within a field by an undergraduate student that makes an original contribution to the discipline.It is a fairly recent concept in the academic community, with roots in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The creation of MIT’s Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) in 1969 encouraged an explosion in popularity. Undergraduate research programs were fairly common by the 1990s. Students may work on their own, collaborate with faculty members, or seek enrollment in a research program within their field. Both faculty members and students experience advantages and disadvantages when collaborating on research. Undergraduate research can be conducted in the sciences (both biological and physical) and in the humanities. The research approach differs depending on the field and the focus. Undergraduate research is often required for acceptance to graduate and professional schools. (WikiPedia)"[13]

CISCOMP:

A Certificate obtained by independent research in Telecommunication Systems and Computer Technologies. The student must develop step by step a research paper at the same level of quality and content of undergraduate research papers submitted at scientific seminars and international conferences. Our guide, will be the principles and standards of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, IEEE.

Our primary mission:

Using free Internet resources and free Professional tutoring, we try on convert our low-income technical students in future “independent researchers” in computer engineering and telecoms.

Strategy:

Students have access to the content of each course, but they must necessarily “Research for more information” to prepare their final papers and get the certificate of approval, CISCOMP,“without exams, only Research papers, which they must be defended and approved by the jury (reviewers), without exception, as in any scientific journal”.. Each student will have the permanent support of their academic tutor to answer technical questions. We do not sell courses, We create independent researchers.
