Specifying, Analyzing, Integrating Mobile Apps and Location Sensors as part of Cyber-Physical Systems in the Classroom Environment

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are characterized as complex systems usually networked, composed of several heterogeneous components that make the connection between events in the physical environment with computation. We can observe that this kind of systems is increasingly used in different areas such as automotive facilities, construction (civil engineering), health care and energy industry, providing a service or activity which depends on the interaction with users and the physical environment in which they are installed. Nowadays, in the educational context, the process of control and monitor of evaluation activities is conducted in a non-automated way by lecturers. This control is performed before, during and after the beginning of the evaluation activity, and include logistical processes such as classroom reservation, distribution of students per classroom, attendance record or fraud control. However, in an environment involving a large number of students, the execution of these tasks becomes difficult to perform efficiently and safely, requiring innovative techniques or assistance tools. In this work, the creation/design of a cyber-physical system through a modeling approach is proposed, aiming to help teachers to control and monitor evaluation activities. Based on a systematic literature study, we claim that there are no studies presenting the modeling of cyber-physical systems in an educational context, enhancing the interest of the proposed case study. In this document, we show how we used a framework named ModelicaML to model this system during the design phase. Also, this framework will offer a simulation component to simulate the behavior of the prescribed system. On the side of the hardware architecture, for the purpose of identifying the valid seats for the specific students inclass during the examination period, an indoor location system will be used, allowing to blueprint the physical layout of the room and globally manage the activity workflow. We finish this work by showing with empirical studies the gains of our solution when compared to the traditional method

A Framework for the Design and Implementation of Learning Objects: a Competence-based Approach

This paper presents a framework for the design and implementation of learning objects using a competence-based approach. This framework is illustrated by the development of a standalone Windows application (Trilho GOA) whose primary purpose is to create standardized pedagogical contents trough the aggregation and standardization of instructional resources in several formats that can be used later on a Learning Management System (LMS) supporting SCORM 1.2. The paper contains a brief introduction to the developed software, its system architecture, main features and several pedagogical advantages for its users

Shipwrecks. The dark side of overseas expansion

Relatos escritos en lenguaje popular, contados por supervivientes de naufragios o de ataques de corsarios ingleses, franceses y holandeses, distribuidos en Lisboa en forma de panfletos o folletos de "cordel" (unidos por una cuerda a un bastón), donde se especializó el taller de impresión de António Álvares, leídos y escuchados con fuerte sentido teatral en plazas públicas o al serano nocturno en torno a un borracho, los dos volúmenes de la "Historia Trágico-Marítima", compendiados y publicados por Bernardo Gomes de Brito en 1735 y 1736 , están compuestos por innumerables desventuras ocurridas en el mar, entre la primera mitad del siglo XVI y la primera mitad del siglo siguiente.Stories written in popular language, told by survivors of shipwrecks or attacks by English, French and Dutch corsairs, distributed in Lisbon in the form of pamphlets or leaflets of "cord" (linked by a rope to a cane), where the workshop specialized print of António Álvares, read and heard with strong theatrical meaning in public squares or the night meeting around a drunk, the two volumes of the "Tragic-Maritime History", summarized and published by Bernardo Gomes de Brito in 1735 and 1736 , are composed of innumerable misadventures occurred at sea, between the first half of the 16th century and the first half of the following century.Narrativas escritas em linguagem popular, contadas por sobreviventes de naufrágios ou de ataques de corsários ingleses, franceses e holandeses, distribuídas em Lisboa em forma de folhas volantes ou folhetos de “cordel” (presos por um cordel a uma cana), em que se especializou a oficina de impressão de António Álvares, lidas e ouvidas com forte sentido teatral em praças públicas ou ao serão nocturno em torno do borralho, os dois volumes de “História Trágico-Marítima”, compendiados e publicados por Bernardo Gomes de Brito em 1735 e 1736, são compostos por inúmeras histórias desventurosas passadas no mar, entre a primeira metade do século XVI e a primeira metade do século seguinte.peerReviewe

Statistical Multiplexing of H.264 video streams using Structural Similarity Information

In this paper, we propose a method to broadcast digital video programs in which the channel capacity is dynamically distributed among video programs according to each video program particular complexity. A bit rate control algorithm based on the Structural Similarity Index as the measure of video program complexity is examined. Initial results show that a uniform picture quality among video programs can be obtained

A sustainable approach for data governance in organizations

Bento, P., Neto, M., & Corte-Real, N. (2022). How data governance frameworks can leverage data-driven decision making: A sustainable approach for data governance in organizations. In A. Rocha, B. Bordel, F. G. Penalvo, & R. Goncalves (Eds.), 2022 17th Iberian Conference on Information Systems and Technologies (CISTI): Proceedings (pp. 1-5). (Iberian Conference on Information Systems and Technologies, CISTI). IEEE Computer Society. https://doi.org/10.23919/CISTI54924.2022.9866895With the technological advances, organizations have experienced an increasing volume and variety of data, as well as the need to explore it to stay competitive. Data governance (DG) importance emerges to support the data flow, to record and manage knowledge derived from data, as well as establishing roles, accountabilities, and strategies, which further results in better decision-making. Through the definition of strategies to manage data in a consistent manner, data governance establishes the path to an enterprise-wide standardization, providing unchallenging access, management, and analysis of data to derive useful insights. Research on data governance frameworks is limited and lacks a key perspective: how can firms ensure sustainability on their programs. Data governance programs can only be continuously valuable if supported by a holistic framework focused on sustainability. To understand this gap, five frameworks are presented, analyzed and evaluated according to an assessment matrix based on eleven critical success factors (CSF) for data governance. As a result of this study, where we offer a more comprehensive assessment tool, both researchers and practitioners can understand the maturity level of each CSF in the reviewed frameworks and identify which areas need further exploration and how to accomplish higher data governance maturity levels.authorsversionpublishe

A visão do Budismo em Eça de Queirós

Eça sui pde Queirós não possui um texto reflexivo sobre o budismo, nem a sua obra pos-personagens budistas. A sua concepção da doutrina de Buda e do budismo surge,em essência, no romance A Correspondência de Fradique Mendes, texto da última fase da obra de Eça de Queirós, e obedece ao espírito humanista presente nos romances e contos publicados ou escritos nos seus últimos dez anos de vida (1890 – 1900). Usando uma metodologia comparatista, Eça faz equivaler Buda a Cristo como homens santos, o pri- meiro para a mentalidade oriental, o segundo para a ocidental. No entanto, porque Buda permite a salvação de todos através do aperfeiçoamento das diversas reencarnações corporais, Fradique prefere Buda a Cristo

Miranda Barbosa – O último clássico

Miranda Barbosa, inspirado na filosofia aristotélico-tomista, tentou construir o edifício de uma lógica pura, a priori, sem fundamentação nem na gnosiologia nem na ontologia. Neste sentido, subordina as contribuições da lógica matemática, do existencialismo e da fenomenologia ao seu intento maior. Por isso o designamos como “o último clássico” da filosofia em Portugal.Miranda Barbosa, inspired by the Aristotelian-Thomist philosophy, builds the edifice of a pure logic, a priori, with the contributions of mathematical logic. Miranda Barbosa refuses the new purposes of the existentialism and phenomenology. Therefore we designate him as the philosopher’s “last classic” in Portugal
