TCC (graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Sócio Econômico, Curso de Administração.Este trabalho apresenta a criação do plano de negócio da empresa Arte Natural, que atuará no ramo da prestação de serviço de jardinagem em Florianópolis, mais especificamente na região norte da ilha. Este plano de negócio busca verificar a viabilidade, através de análise do mercado, e dos planos financeiros, de marketing e operacional, para concretizar a idéia do empreendedor de abrir seu próprio negócio, tendo em vista que o mercado oferece a oportunidade para a criação e desenvolvimento da empresa. Com os dados levantados neste trabalho obteve-se as informações necessárias para a abertura do negócio, sendo que após as análises concluiu-se que a empresa Arte Natural será viável e rentável, com potencial para crescer.This paper presents the creation of the business plan of the company Art Natural, which will operate in gardening service provision branch in Florianópolis, specifically in the northern part of the island. This business plan aims to verify the feasibility, through market analysis, and financial plans, marketing and operational, to realize the entrepreneur's idea of opening your own business, given that the market offers the opportunity to create and the company's development. With the data collected in this study was obtained the information necessary for opening the business, and after analysis it was concluded that the company Natural Art will be viable and profitable, with potential to grow

PAL: Exploiting Java Annotations for Parallelism

We discuss how Java annotations can be used to provide the meta information needed to automatically transform plain Java programs into suitable parallel code that can be run on workstation clusters, networks and grids. Programmers are only required to decorate the methods that will eventually be executed in parallel with standard Java 1.5 annotations. Then these annotations are automatically processed and parallel byte code is derived. When the annotated program is started, it automatically retrieves the information about the executing platform and evaluates the information specified inside the annotations to transform the byte-code into a semantically equivalent multithreaded or multitask version, depending on the target architecture features. The results returned by the annotated methods, when invoked, are futures with a wait-by-necessity semantics. A PAL (Parallel Abstraction Layer) prototype exploiting the annotation based parallelizing approach has been implemented in Java. PAL targets JJPF, an existing, skeleton based, JAVA/JINI programming environment, as Parallel Framework. The experiments made with the prototype are encouraging: the design of parallel applications has been greatly simplified and the performances obtained are the same of an application directly written in JJPF

Identificação e Medição de Fatores que Influenciam o Custo de Viagens Corporativas

ABSTRACTGreat gains can be obtained in the efficiency of processes that havea large number of variables that influence their results through theuse of machine learning techniques. This work introduces the useof machine learning techniques to obtain a better understanding ofthe factors that most influence the cost of corporate travel, as wellas the construction of a behavioral suggestion model for decreasingthis value. The optimization of this process can result in directsavings to companies that performed corporate travel. The finalresults of these implementations reached the following accuracy:prediction of air tickets with an ????2 value of 0.8 with a multiplelinear regression model and an ????2 value of 0.74 with an artificialneural network model
