Collaboration and entrepreneurship innovation models
Cómo generar valor a través de un modelo de innovación para destinos basado en enfoques de colaboración y emprendimiento. La innovación abierta, el diseño de servicios, los living labs, las TIC vinculadas a los nuevos desarrollos en tecnología y ciencia, la globalización directa o a través de redes y los productos y procesos de ecoinnovación son factores que se deben tener en cuenta al pensar en la innovación en los destinos. En la actualidad, la confluencia de economías abiertas, basadas en redes de colaboración con usuarios, proveedores, comunidades y actores institucionales; participación de los stakeholders para desarrollar nuevos servicios; calidad del medio ambiente a través de innovaciones que conllevan un beneficio ambiental; economía social, las organizaciones que persiguen objetivos no estrictamente comerciales proporcionan una colaboración entre el mercado y las fuerzas sociales, contribuyendo así a la innovación en los destinos.How to generate value through an innovation model for destinations based on collaborative approaches and entrepreneurship. Open innovation, service design, living labs, ICT´s linked to new developments in technology and science, globalization either direct or through networks and eco-innovation products and processes are factors to take into consideration when thinking about innovativeness in destinations. Nowadays the confluence of open economies —based on collaboration networks with users, suppliers, communities and institutional actors—, participation —of its stakeholders to develop new services— environment quality —eco-innovations that entail an environmental benefit— and social economy —as of organizations pursuing objectives not strictly commercial— provide a collaboration between the market and social forces thus contributing for innovation in destinations
INNOVATION PROGRAMS MODELS: Design and management
Projetos de inovação podem desenhar, desenvolver e implementar uma abordagem prática e estruturada, com o objetivo de criar um modelo gerencial de inovação. As deficiências nas habilidades de gerenciamento de pequenas empresas (em gestão econômica, financeira ou humana) ou as limitações de recursos não são uma questão de inovação nem o setor o a indústria da empresa. É a falta de processos estruturados que integram inovação de produtos, serviços, processos, marketing e modelos de negócios e, ao mesmo tempo, criam os recursos que capacitam os líderes de negócios a agirem sobre inovação. Os programas de inovação praticados em pequenas empresas enfatizaram o como fazê-lo em duas experiências no Peru e na Colombia. A inovação de produtos e serviços foi baseada em metodologias em quatro eixos; contexto empresarial, aprendizado por imersão, gamificação, lean e design thinking. Embora a inovação do modelo de negócios baseada nos mesmos processos e metodologias exigisse recursos e ferramentas adicionais. Isso pode envolver estrutura de modelos de inovação, ferramentas de desenho de modelos de negócios, rede de valor de parceria, todos focados no contexto de negócios (tendências e tecnologias), usuários como co-criadores de valor, plataformas digitais e ecossistemas
Coordination models Orc and Reo compared
Orc and Reo are two complementary approaches to the problem of coordinating components or services. On one hand, Orc is highly asynchronous, dynamic, and based on ephemeral connections to services. On the other hand, Reo is based on the interplay between synchronization and mutual exclusion, is more static, and establishes more continuous connections between components or services. The question of how Orc and Reo relate to each other naturally arises. In this paper, we present a detailed comparison of the two models. We demonstrate that embedding non-recursive Orc expressions into Reo connectors is straightforward, whereas recursive Orc expressions require an extension to the Reo model. For the other direction, we argue that embedding Reo into Orc would require, based on expressiveness results of Palamidessi, signifficantly more effort. We conclude with some general observations and comparisons between the two approaches
Design of Services for the Incremental Innovation Management in SMEs
[EN] The article presents an empirical study with small and medium Peruvian businesses in the health and hotel industries aiming to develop incremental innovative products and services through insights, ideas generation, and solutions validation at the front-end open innovation strategy. The indirect research of trends, customer journey mapping, ethnography, and direct interaction with users, through in-depth interviews and iterative dynamic group sessions, generated value creation. Small businesses can develop services design according to their human and financial limitations using knowledge management processes based on four axes: scanning the environment, observing, depth interviews, and lean and design thinking. There are alternative paths that take into account and involve a greater collaboration of users that small businesses can explore and exploit in a process aimed at the user. The case study allows concluding that incremental innovation processes do not have to be tedious, uncertain, or expensive for small and medium enterprises.Carvalho-Proença, JJ.; Jiménez-Sáez, F.

A procedure for splitting data-aware processes and its application to coordination
We present a procedure for splitting processes in a process algebra with multiactions and data (the untimed subset of the specification language mCRL2). This splitting procedure cuts a process into two processes along a set of actions A: Roughly, one of these processes contains no actions from A, while the other process contains only actions from A. We state and prove a theorem asserting that the parallel composition of these two processes is provably equal from a set of axioms (sound and complete with respect to strong bisimilarity) to the original process under some appropriate notion of synchronization. We apply our splitting procedure to the process algebraic semantics of the coordination language Reo: Using this procedure and its related theorem, we formally establish the soundness of splitting Reo connectors along the boundaries of their (a)synchronous regions in implementations of Reo
A Procedure for Splitting Data-Aware Processes and its Application to Coordination (Technical Report)
We present a procedure for splitting processes in a process algebra with multiactions and data (the untimed subset of the specification language mCRL2). This splitting procedure cuts a process into two processes along a set of actions A: roughly, one of these processes contains no actions from A, while the other process contains only actions from A. We state and prove a theorem asserting that the parallel composition of these two processes is provably equal from a set of axioms (sound and complete with respect to strong bisimilarity) to the original process under some appropriate notion of synchronization.
We apply our splitting procedure to the process algebraic semantics of the coordination language Reo: using this procedure and its related theorem, we formally establish the soundness of splitting Reo connectors along the boundaries of their (a)synchronous regions in implementations of Reo. Such splitting can significantly improve the performance of connectors as shown elsewhere
Decoupled execution of synchronous coordination models via behavioural automata
Synchronous coordination systems allow the exchange of data by logically
indivisible actions involving all coordinated entities. This paper introduces
behavioural automata, a logically synchronous coordination model based on the
Reo coordination language, which focuses on relevant aspects for the
concurrent evolution of these systems. We show how our automata model encodes
the Reo and Linda coordination models and how it introduces an explicit
predicate that captures the concurrent evolution, distinguishing local from
global actions, and lifting the need of most synchronous models to involve all
entities at each coordination step, paving the way to more scalable
implementations
Procesos e innovación organizacional para pequeñas empresas
[EN] Dynamic capabilities to innovate can be acquired regardless of the size of a company, but this requires that users
participating in innovation processes be identified (value proposition segments) and the way organizations interact
with these users be understood (processes). Small businesses can innovate with fewer financial and human resources
using Customer Discovery, environment scanning, immersion, customer journey mapping, Customer Validation with
validation of ideas and solutions in dynamic group sessions, Gamification, Design Thinking and prototyping workshops.
The methodology used herein is that of literature review in the areas of process, products and dynamic capabilities
innovation of companies. The objective of this research is to explore innovative processes that take into account and
involve greater user collaboration that small businesses can exploit, which are targeted at the end user. Innovation
does not have to be uncertain or expensive and can be developed through organizational innovation and innovation
of collaborative processes with users.[ES] Las capacidades dinámicas para innovar se pueden adquirir independientemente del tamaño de la empresa, pero
eso requiere que los usuarios que participan en los procesos de innovación sean identificados (segmentos de la propuesta de valor) y la forma como las organizaciones interactúan con estos usuarios sea comprendida (procesos). Las pequeñas empresas pueden innovar con menos recursos financieros y humanos utilizando el Customer Discovery, escaneo del entorno, inmersión, mapa de viaje
de consumidor, el Customer Validation con validación
de ideas y soluciones en sesiones dinámicas de grupo,
Gamification, Design Thinking y talleres para realización
de prototipos. La metodología utilizada es la revisión de
la literatura en los ámbitos de innovación de procesos,
productos y capacidades dinámicas de las empresas. El
objetivo de la investigación es la exploración de procesos innovadores que tienen en cuenta e implican mayor
colaboración de los usuarios que las pequeñas empresas pueden explotar y que están dirigidos al usuario final. Innovación no tiene porque ser incierta ni cara y se
puede desarrollar a través de innovación organizativa e
innovación de procesos colaborativos con los usuarios.[FR] Les capacités dynamiques d¿innovation peuvent être

A preliminary comparison of the corrosion behaviour of additively and conventionally manufactured 18Ni300 maraging steel for moulds
ABSTRACT: The corrosion behaviour of a maraging steel 18Ni300 manufactured by Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) was compared to that of a conventional tool steel. Electrochemical test conditions were chosen to approximate the corrosive environments encountered during injection moulding of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) parts. The corrosion behaviour of the steel produced by both routes was evaluated before and after an ageing treatment at 510 ºC for six hours. Cuboid specimens were fabricated and a polished area of 100 mm2 was immersed in a 0.1M HCl solution for 7 days. Open circuit potential (OCP) and polarization curves were used to monitor the material exposed to the corrosive environment. The obtained results indicate that the conventionally produced aged steel is less susceptible to corrosion and that the steel manufactured by L-PBF (not aged condition) showed better resistance to pitting.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Reconfiguration of Reo Connectors Triggered by Dataflow
Reo is a language for coordinating autonomous components in distributed environments. Coordination in Reo is performed by circuit-like connectors, which are constructed from primitive, mobile channels with well-defined behaviour. While the structure of a connector can be modeled as a graph, its behaviour is compositionally defined using that of its primitive constituents. In previous work, we showed that graph transformation techniques are well-suited to model reconfigurations of connectors. In this paper, we investigate how the connector colouring semantics can be used to perform dynamic reconfigurations. Dynamic reconfigurations are triggered by dataflow in the connector at runtime, when certain structural patterns enriched with dataflow annotations occur. For instance we are able to elegantly model dynamic Reo circuits, such as just-in-time augmentation of single-b
