Uma experiência de ensino integrado dos fundamentos matemáticos da ciência da computação

Este trabalho tem por objetivo relatar os resultados preliminares de uma experiência de integração curricular, em andamento na Escola de Informática da UCPel, na área de fundamentos matemáticos da Ciência da Computação. A concepção curricular da experiência está baseada nas idéias de Basil Bernstein sobre currículos de coleção e/ou integração, na idéia de desenvolvimento autônomo do aluno e na organização do ensino em forma semi-presencial (com apoio da Internet) e cooperativa (com apoio de softwares matemáticos).

Evaluating the use of mobile collaborative augmented reality within field service networks: the case of Océ Italia – Canon Group

The adoption of Augmented Reality (AR) technologies can make the provision of field services to industrial equipment more effective. In these situations, the cost of deploying skilled technicians in geographically dispersed locations must be accurately traded off with the risks of not respecting the service level agreements with the customers. This paper, through the case study of a leading OEM in the production printing industry, presents the challenges that have to be faced in order to favour the adoption of a particular kind of AR named Mobile Collaborative Augmented Reality (MCAR). In particular, this study uses both qualitative and quantitative research. Firstly, a demonstration to show how MCAR can support field service was settled in order to achieve information about the use experience of the people involved. Then, the entire field force of Océ Italia – Canon Group was surveyed in order to investigate quantitatively the technicians’ perceptions about the usefulness and ease of use of MCAR, as well as their intentions to use this technology.
