Adaptation of Lean Thinking and Culture for teams with characteristics of the “Z” generation: A case study in a high-scale automotive industry of Manus Industrial Pole / Adaptação do Pensamento Lean e da Cultura para equipas com características da geração "Z": Um estudo de caso numa indústria automóvel de alta escala do Pólo Industrial de Manus

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) standardizes project management and production of the current automobile industries. This model considers the usual behavioral characteristics of previous generations for directing resources, establishing deadlines, and accomplishing goals for team members. Nowadays, the advent of the "Z" generation in universities and its introduction into the labor market has brought difficulties in adapting its characteristics to the industrial market and lean production, causing conflicts in the work environment, loss of motivation, and reduction in inefficiency. Industrial activities, according to lean culture, ought to be executed with sufficient dialogue. Although technological, working in industrial activities is not as fun as working in gaming development companies or Internet technology, causing talent evasion and a shortage of labor in the mass production automotive industry. This article will highlight some of the main difficulties of adaptation of the "Z" generation into the automobile production industry on a large scale and present proposals on how to eliminate these difficulties in order to maintain high team performance, taking full advantage of the positive characteristics

A runtime system for parallel programing with shared memory paradigm over a heterogeneus distributed systems.

O avanço na tecnologia de hardware está permitindo que máquinas SMP de 2 a 8 processadores estejam disponíveis a um custo cada vez menor, possibilitando que a incorporação de tais máquinas em aglomerados de PC's ou até mesmo a composição de um aglomerado de SMP's sejam alternativas cada vez mais viáveis para computação de alto desempenho. O grande desafio é extrair o potencial que tal conjunto de máquinas oferece. Uma alternativa é usar um paradigma híbrido de programação para aproveitar a arquitetura de memória compartilhada através de multihreadeing e utilizar o modelo de troca de mensagens para comunicação entre os nós. Contudo, essa estratégia impõe uma tarefa árdua e pouco produtiva para o programador da aplicação. Este trabalho apresenta o sistema CPAR- Cluster que oferece uma abstração de memória compartilhada no topo de um aglomerado formado por nós mono e multiprocessadores. O sistema é implementado no nível de biblioteca e não faz uso de recursos especiais tais como hardware especializado ou alteração na camada de sistema operacional. Serão apresentados os modelos, estratégias, questões de implementação e os resultados obtidos através de testes realizados com a ferramenta e que apresentaram comportamento esperado.The advance in hardware technologies is making small configuration SMP machines (from 2 to 8 processors) available at a low cost. For this reason, the inclusion of an SMP node into a cluster of PCs or even clusters of SMPs are becoming viable alternatives for high performance computing. The challenge is the exploitation of the computational resources that these platforms provide. A Hybrid programming paradigm which uses shared memory architecture through multihreading and also message passing model for inter node communication is an alternative. However, programming in such paradigm is very hard. This thesis presents CPAR- Cluster, a runtime system, that provides shared memory abstraction on top of a cluster composed by mono and multiprocessor nodes. Its implementation is at the library level and doesn't require special resources such as particular hardware or operating system moditfications. Models, strategies, implementation aspects and results will be presented

Measuring open data’s impact of Brazilian national and sub-national budget transparency websites and its impacts on people’s rights

Portuguese version available in IDRC Digital Library: Avaliando os websites de transparência orçamentária nacionais e subnacionais e medindo impactos de dados abertos sobre direitos humanos no BrasilThe study analyzes provision of data and transparency of information regarding budget execution through portals of Brazilian capital cities, as well as on the websites of the Office of the Comptroller General and the Senate “Siga Brasil” site. The research has two specific agendas: developing and conducting a survey designed to check the quality of budget data made available through open data government portals and; making a quantitative comparison based on open data principles, applicable codes of practice, regulations and laws. In Brazil, availability of data on public management has increased since the Access to Information Act (2011)

Detecção de propriedades estaveis em sistemas distribuidos

Orientador: Ricardo de Oliveira AnidoDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de ComputaçãoResumo: Elaborar uma solução para um problema distribuído que atenda aos critérios de segurança e progresso está muito longe de ser uma tarefa trivial. Nem mesmo algoritmos publicados escaparam de contestação posterior, mostrando que são incorretos. Com o objetivo de encontrar uma modelagem mais adequada, alguns pesquisadores tomam a direção das derivações. Verificando comportamentos similares e características comuns, pretende-se desenvolver um método que facilite o projeto de algoritmos distribuídos para resolver problemas que apresentem algumas similaridades. Uma característica muito importante comum a certos problemas é a propriedade da estabilidade, isto é, se o problema ocorre, ele persistirá até que seja detectado e tratado. Assim acontece com deadlocks e quando uma computação distribuída alcança o término de sua atividade. Esta dissertação concentra-se nos seguintes pontos. Do estudo das áreas de deadlock e terminação distribuídos resulta a apresentação da modelagem de cada problema, uma visão em largura das abordagens propostas para a detecção do deadlock distribuído e para a detecção da terminação distribuída e a discussão mais detalhada de alguns algoritmos propostos para esses dois problemas. Às contribuições citadas soma-se a proposição de um método que derive soluções para o problema da terminação distribuída a partir de algoritmos para a detecção do deadlock, preservando as propriedades de segurança e progresso da solução baseAbstract: Devising a solution to a distributed problem, satisfying the requirements of progress and safety is clearly not an easy task. Several published algorithms have been shown incorrect, despite having been "proven" correct at time of publication. An interesting approach to devise a new solution to a problem is to use a known solution to a different problem that has similar requirements and characteristics. In this dissertation we present a methodology to derive solutions to the problem of detecting the termination of a distributed computation based on solutions to the deadlock problem. A common characteristic of these problems is that both are persistent: once attained the condition of deadlock or termination, the condition will hold thereafter, until some external action is taken. Besides presenting the derivation methodology, this dissertation presents a broad study of the more interesting solutions to the deadlock and termination problems found in the literatureMestradoMestre em Ciência da Computaçã

Monitoramento participativo e accountability governamental: o estudo de caso do “Cuidando de Meu Bairro”

This paper aims to verify the influence of independent platforms on the Government Accountability. With this purpose, we discuss the concept and application of accountability to analyse the tool named "Caring for My Neighborhood" (CMB), which is a social platform for monitoring and controlling town´s public spending. Bibliometric research, literature review and uses analysis of the platform were carried out. It was verified that, despite the initial steps and the great difficulties that still remain, the platform has been contributing to the promotion of governmental accountability, being necessary to train and consolidate communities of developers and users for such purpose
