Pour une approche contrastive du présent simple en français et en portugais

Les temps du passé ont toujours constitué une pierre d’achoppement aussi bien dans l’enseignement du français aux étudiants lusophones que dans celui du portugais aux francophones. Le flot continu d’articles sur ce sujet attesterait, à lui seul, la difficulté du problème. Mais aussi étonnant que cela puisse paraître, il n’existe à ce jour aucune étude systématique qui aborde sur une base théorique le présent simple dans le passage du français vers le portugais et/ou vice-versa. Or, une telle étude nous paraît une voie de recherche intéressante et fructueuse qui ouvre de nombreuses perspectives de recherche, dont les possibilités d’application, que ce soit au domaine de l’enseignement des langues étrangères ou celui de la traduction, ne sont pas négligeables. Cette réflexion est d’autant plus urgente que l’emploi du présent simple pose de sérieux problèmes aux élèves lusophones plus inexpérimentés. En effet, ces derniers ont parfois beaucoup de peine à trouver les bonnes correspondances du présent simple en portugais. Afin d’aboutir à des conclusions fiables sur les similarités et les divergences entre le français et le portugais quant aux conditions d’apparition et au mode de fonctionnement du présent simple, nous nous attacherons, dans l’étude contrastive qui suit, à examiner des échantillons de textes littéraires français traduits en portugais et des extraits de textes littéraires portugais traduits en français1. Il s’agira essentiellement de montrer, en recourant à la Théorie des Opérations Énonciatives d’Antoine Culioli (Culioli, 1990; Campos & Xavier, 1991; Campos, 1997, 1998, entre autres), par quels moyens linguistiques le portugais exprime les valeurs aspectuo-temporelles associées au présent simple en français.

Effectiveness of online corporate collaborative teams

With this article we intend to contribute to the understanding of what can make Online Collaborative Teams (OCT) effective. This is done by identifying what can be considered best practices for individual team members, for leaders of OCT, and for the organizations that the teams are a part of. Best practices in these categories were identified from the existing literature related to online teams and collaborative work literature.

A method to analyse the alignment of core values in collaborative networked organisations

Since collaborative networked organisations are usually formed by independent and heterogeneous entities, it is natural that each member holds his own set of values, and that conflicts among partners might emerge because of some misalignment of values. In contrast, it is often stated in literature that the alignment between the value systems of members involved in collaborative processes is a prerequisite for successful co-working. As a result, the issue of core value alignment in collaborative networks started to attract attention. However, methods to analyse such alignment are lacking mainly because the concept of 'alignment' in this context is still ill defined and shows a multifaceted nature. As a contribution to the area, this article introduces an approach based on causal models and graph theory for the analysis of core value alignment in collaborative networks. The potential application of the approach is then discussed in the virtual organisations' breeding environment context.

Elements of a methodology to assess the alignment of core-values in collaborative networks

Collaborative networks are typically formed by heterogeneous and autonomous entities, and thus it is natural that each member has its own set of core-values. Since these values somehow drive the behaviour of the involved entities, the ability to quickly identify partners with compatible or common core-values represents an important element for the success of collaborative networks. However, tools to assess or measure the level of alignment of core-values are lacking. Since the concept of 'alignment' in this context is still ill-defined and shows a multifaceted nature, three perspectives are discussed. The first one uses a causal maps approach in order to capture, structure, and represent the influence relationships among core-values. This representation provides the basis to measure the alignment in terms of the structural similarity and influence among value systems. The second perspective considers the compatibility and incompatibility among core-values in order to define the alignment level. Under this perspective we propose a fuzzy inference system to estimate the alignment level, since this approach allows dealing with variables that are vaguely defined, and whose inter-relationships are difficult to define. Another advantage provided by this method is the possibility to incorporate expert human judgment in the definition of the alignment level. The last perspective uses a belief Bayesian network method, and was selected in order to assess the alignment level based on members' past behaviour. An example of application is presented where the details of each method are discussed.

A Service Integration Platform for Collaborative Networks

Integrated manufacturing constitutes a complex system made of heterogeneous information and control subsystems. Those subsystems are not designed to the cooperation. Typically each subsystem automates specific processes, and establishes closed application domains, therefore it is very difficult to integrate it with other subsystems in order to respond to the needed process dynamics. Furthermore, to cope with ever growing marketcompetition and demands, it is necessary for manufacturing/enterprise systems to increase their responsiveness based on up-to-date knowledge and in-time data gathered from the diverse information and control systems. These have created new challenges for manufacturing sector, and even bigger challenges for collaborative manufacturing. The growing complexity of the information and communication technologies when coping with innovative business services based on collaborative contributions from multiple stakeholders, requires novel and multidisciplinary approaches. Service orientation is a strategic approach to deal with such complexity, and various stakeholders' information systems. Services or more precisely the autonomous computational agents implementing the services, provide an architectural pattern able to cope with the needs of integrated and distributed collaborative solutions. This paper proposes a service-oriented framework, aiming to support a virtual organizations breeding environment that is the basis for establishing short or long term goal-oriented virtual organizations. The notion of integrated business services, where customers receive some value developed through the contribution from a network of companies is a key element.

Distributed process execution in collaborative networks

Processes are a central entity in enterprise collaboration. Collaborative processes need to be executed and coordinated in a distributed Computational platform where computers are connected through heterogeneous networks and systems. Life cycle management of such collaborative processes requires a framework able to handle their diversity based on different computational and communication requirements. This paper proposes a rational for such framework, points out key requirements and proposes it strategy for a supporting technological infrastructure. Beyond the portability of collaborative process definitions among different technological bindings, a framework to handle different life cycle phases of those definitions is presented and discussed.

Activités d’écriture approchée et entrée dans l’écrit des jeunes enfants: analyse comparative de démarches didactiques en première primaire en france

Nous présentons le suivi d’une cohorte d’élèves, de la grande section (troisième année de maternelle en France -5 ans) à la fin du CE1 (deuxième année de primaire –7/8 ans). La population est constituée d’un groupe contrôle et d’un groupe expérimental pratiquant des séances hebdomadaires d’écriture approchée, observées et filmées à différentes périodes de l’année (octobre, mars et juin). Dans notre contribution, nous analysons les séances filmées en fin de CP (première primaire), dans une perspective essentiellement comparatiste. L’objectif est de décrire la démarche didactique mise en œuvre par les enseignantes lors de séances d’enseignement de l’écriture. L'analyse des productions d'écrit et des verbalisations des élèves nous permet également d'évaluer ces démarches d’enseignement et de caractériser celle qui semble le plus propice au développement de compétences métalinguistiques des apprentis scripteurs

Mobile collaborative cloudless computing

Although the computational power of mobile devices has been increasing, it is still not enough for some classes of applications. In the present, these applications delegate the computing power burden on servers located on the Internet. This model assumes an always-on Internet connectivity and implies a non-negligible latency. The thesis addresses the challenges and contributions posed to the application of a mobile collaborative computing environment concept to wireless networks. The goal is to define a reference architecture for high performance mobile applications. Current work is focused on efficient data dissemination on a highly transitive environment, suitable to many mobile applications and also to the reputation and incentive system available on this mobile collaborative computing environment. For this we are improving our already published reputation/incentive algorithm with knowledge from the usage pattern from the eduroam wireless network in the Lisbon area.

The need of performance indicators for collaborative business ecosystems

During last decades there has been a trend to build collaboration platforms as enablers for groups of enterprises to jointly provide integrated services and products. As a result, the notion of business ecosystem is getting wider acceptance. However, a critical issue that is still open, despite some efforts in this area, is the identification of adequate performance indicators to measure and motivate sustainable collaboration. This work-in-progress addresses this concern, briefly presenting the state of the art of relevant contributing areas such as, collaborative networks, business ecosystems, enterprise performance indicators, social networks analysis, and supply chains. Complementarily, through an assessment of current gaps, the research challenges are identified and an approach for further development is proposed.
