Conceptual-physical bridging – From BPMN models to physical implementations on kettle

Developing and implementing data-oriented workflows for data migration processes are complex tasks involving several problems related to the integration of data coming from different schemas. Usually, they involve very specific requirements - every process is almost unique. Having a way to abstract their representation will help us to better understand and validate them with business users, which is a crucial step for requirements validation. In this demo we present an approach that provides a way to enrich incrementally conceptual models in order to support an automatic way for producing their correspondent physical implementation. In this demo we will show how B2K (Business to Kettle) system works transforming BPMN 2.0 conceptual models into Kettle data-integration executable processes, approaching the most relevant aspects related to model design and enrichment, model to system transformation, and system execution.

Automatic generation of ETL physical systems from BPMN conceptual models

ETL conceptual modeling is a very important activity in any data warehousing system project implementation. Owning a high-level system representation allowing for a clear identification of the main parts of a data warehousing system is clearly a great advantage, especially in early stages of design and development. However, the effort to model conceptually an ETL system rarely is properly rewarded. Translating ETL conceptual models directly into something that saves work and time on the concrete implementation of the system process it would be, in fact, a great help. In this paper we present and discuss a hybrid approach to this problem, combining the simplicity of interpretation and power of expression of BPMN on ETL systems conceptualization with the use of ETL patterns to produce automatically an ETL skeleton, a first prototype system, which has the ability to be executed in a commercial ETL tool like Kettle.

DENSIFICACION URBANA: POTENCIAL DE DESARROLLO DE AREAS VACANTES.PROPUESTA DE NUEVAS HERRAMIENTAS VALORATIVAS. Acercamientos alternativos al fenómeno del crecimiento. Estudio de casos. Relevamiento y registro gráfico-conceptual.

La ciudad compacta, se ha dispersado en fragmentos deshilvanando el tejido social en fracciones desconectadas del sentido más profundo de lo urbano. Una realidad plena de contradicciones acumula experiencias ajenas a los modelos teóricos de profesionales y de la gestión pública. Los conflictos de la ciudad superan la planificación, siendo la renta del suelo el único paradigma del desarrollo urbano. La presente Investigación pretende reflexionar acerca de las metodologías de trabajo y los instrumentos posibilitantes de una urbanidad sustentable abordando una crítica al actual paradigma de desarrollo urbano. Se pretende el relevamiento de los sectores conpotencial de cambio (fragmentos urbanos, espacios vacantes, áreas degradadas, etc.) transfiriéndolos a una base de datos digitalizada, que pueda convertirse en un instrumento disciplinar y académico Hipótesis Las posibilidades de revisión del modelo de crecimiento extensivo de baja densidad se producen con mayor intensidad en las áreas vacantes de la ciudad. El potencial de los grandes espacios vacantes de la ciudad es definido por la especulación e intereses de los emprendedores que actúan en el mercado. El Código Normativo es el instrumento que consolida este modelo operativo Objetivos �Promover el análisis y crítica de la ciudad y su territorio, a los efectos de posibilitar un proyecto disciplinar con una urbanidad sustentable. �Proponer herramientas de análisis que permita operar de manera eficiente sobre la dinámica de crecimiento. �Elaborar una base digital de datos como instrumento operativo, que favorezca a la comprensión de fenómenos complejos Materiales y métodos a utilizar 1. Recopilación de datos y estudios bibliográficos para definir el marco conceptual y elaboración de metodos de análisis de espacios vacantes. 2. Estudio y análisis de las normativas vigentes 3. Identificación de espacios vacantes de la ciudad de Córdoba, identificando problemas de fragmentación y dispersión urbana y social: técnicas de muestreo. 4. Relevamiento y registro de campo. 5. Experiencia proyectual en la carrera Resultados esperados -Caracterización de fragmentos urbanos de la ciudad de Córdoba -Registro en base de datos identificando fragmentos urbanos de la Ciudad de Córdoba -Elaboración gráficos conceptuales y modelización en 3D -Resultados de experiencia piloto Importancia del proyecto Considerando el crecimiento de la ciudad de Córdoba, la crisis de las infraestructuras a la degradación de los espacios urbanos, la falta de una planificación sustentable y la desactualización de las Normativas Vigentes, se hace necesario la reflexión en el ámbito académico Pertinencia Contar con documentación real y confiable es prioritaria para la gestión de la ciudad, posibilitando articular problemas y oportunidades. Desde el campo metodológico brinda la posibilidad de formar una base teórica suceptible de relacionar la crítica y el proyecto.

Conceptual Foundations of Modelling of Innovative Production Projects

At the moment there is a lack of methodological approaches to formalization of management of innovative projects relating to production systems, as well as to adaptation and practical use of the existing approaches. This article is about one potential approach to the management of innovative projects, which makes the building of innovative process models possible based on objective approach. It outlines the frameworks for the building of innovative project models, and describes the method of transition from conceptual modelling to innovative project management. In this case, the model alone and together with parameters used for evaluation of the project may be unique and depends on the special features of the project, preferences of decision-making person, and production and economic system in which it is to be implemented. Unlike existing approaches, this concept does not place any restrictions on types of models and makes it possible to take into account the specificities of economic and production systems. Principles embodied in the model allow its usage as a basis for simulation model to be used in one of specialized simulation systems, as well as for information system providing information support of decision-making process in production and economic systems both newly developed by the company (enterprise) and designed on the basis of available information systems that interact through the exchange of data. In addition, this article shows that the development of conceptual foundations of innovative project management in the economic and production systems is inseparable from the development of the theory of industrial control systems, and their comprehensive study may be reduced to a set of elements represented as certain algorithms, models and evaluations. Thus, the study of innovative process may be conducted in both directions: from general to particular, and vice versa.

Kommentierte Übersetzung des NASA-Berichtes „Pioneering Space: NASA’s Next Steps on the Path to Mars“ vom Englischen ins Deutsche

Die Bachelorarbeit besteht aus der Übersetzung des NASA-Berichtes „Pioneering Space: NASA’s Next Steps on the Path to Mars“ vom Englischen ins Deutsche und einer Textanalyse nach dem Analysemodell von Christiane Nord. Dieser Analyseansatz wird grob nach den sog. textexternen und textinternen Faktoren aufgeteilt. Zu den Besonderheiten und Herausforderungen der Übersetzung werden u.a. das hohe fachsprachliche Textniveau sowie diverse Abkürzungen und Abteilungsnamen innerhalb der NASA, die im Bericht auftauchen, gehören. Da darüber hinaus die Berichte und Kommunikation in der Weltraumszene hauptsächlich in englischer Sprache erfolgt, muss ein Kompromiss gefunden werden, um die Wörter so im Text einzubringen, dass der Textfluss nicht übertrieben gestört wird.

Space-time variation of the relative abundance of Limnoperna fortunei in deep zones of São Gonçalo Channel, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

This work describes the spatial-temporal variation of the relative abundance and size of Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857) collected in São Gonçalo Channel through bottom trawl with a 0.5 cm mesh, at depths between 3 and 6 m. The estimative of mean relative abundance (CPUE) ranged from 2,425.3 individuals per drag (ind./drag) in the spring to 21,715.0 ind./drag in the fall, with an average of 9,515.3 ind./drag throughout the year. The estimated mean density of L. fortunei for the deep region of São Gonçalo Channel ranged from 1.2 to 10.3 ind./m², and it was recorded a maximum density of 84.9 ind./m² in the fall of 2008. The method of sampling using bottom trawl enabled the capture of L. fortunei under the soft muddy bottom of the channel, in different sizes ranging from 0.4 to 3.2 cm. This shows that the structure of the L. fortunei adult population under the bottom of the São Gonçalo Channel is composed mostly of small individuals (<1.4 cm), which represent up to 74% of the population collected.
