Transparent Replication Using Metaprogramming in Cyan

Replication can be used to increase the availability of a service by creating many operational copies of its data called replicas. Active replication is a form of replication that has strong consistency semantics, easier to reason about and program. However, creating replicated services using active replication still demands from the programmer the knowledge of subtleties of the replication mechanism. In this paper we show how to use the metaprogramming infrastructure of the Cyan language to shield the application programmer from these details, allowing easier creation of fault-tolerant replicated applications through simple annotations.Comment: 8 page

Duration of Low Wage Employment: A Study Based on a Survival Model

This paper includes a survival analysis which attempts to explain the duration, as in the number of years a worker remains in a low wage situation. Explanatory variables take into account the characteristics of the employee, such as education, age, tenure with the company, gender and nationality, and the characteristics of the job and the company such as industry affiliation, number of employees, age of the company and location.low wage, survival, Portugal

Application of Delft3d for designing and assessing new solutions to improve sediment input to an erosion prone coast

The construction of harbor defense structures changes the natural sedimentary fluxes that contribute to feed the coastal drift in the adjacent beaches, in many harbors of the world located at river mouths. This paper presents a numerical modelling work, based on the Delft3D software, to study morphodynamics at the river Lima estuary, Portugal. This model was implemented recurring to a hydroinformatic environment that was constructed at University of Minho along the last two decades. Considering specific hydrodynamic conditions and typical characteristics of the estuarine sediments, the capacity of hypothetical structures to improve transport of sediments to the coast was assessed: (i) a submerged transverse non-erodible dam and (ii) an emerged groin linked to the left embankment located at the upstream section of the harbor. The implemented hydroinformatic environment presents capacities to simulate the complex morphodynamic behavior of river mouths. The preliminary results reveals that the proposed structures can have a positive impact throughout dredging works facilitation by transferring depositional areas during flood events to a location near the coast inside the harbor. Ongoing field acquisition data will be essential to validate depositional patterns under different river discharges and wave conditionsPOCTEP/Interreg, project MarRISK (0262_MarRISK_1_E)info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Transformar a pedagogia: um percurso de indagação pedagógica na Universidade do Minho

A transformação da pedagogia na universidade exige que os professores contrariem o divórcio entre ensino, investigação e desenvolvimento profissional, nomeadamente através da constituição de comunidades de prática que desenvolvem, avaliam e disseminam experiências pedagógicas. Este tem sido um objectivo central de um conjunto de projectos desenvolvidos na Universidade do Minho desde 2000 por equipas multidisciplinares. Na presente comunicação, traça-se o historial destes projectos, evidenciando os seus avanços e contratempos, o que permite problematizar tensões e condições da reconfiguração da pedagogia como campo de estudo e de intervenção
