Most of the traditional software and database development approaches tend to be serial, not evolutionary and certainly not agile, especially on data-oriented aspects. Most of the more commonly used methodologies are strict, meaning they’re composed by several stages each with very specific associated tasks. A clear example is the Rational Unified Process (RUP), divided into Business Modeling, Requirements, Analysis & Design, Implementation, Testing and Deployment. But what happens when the needs of a well design and structured plan, meet the reality of a small starting company that aims to build an entire user experience solution. Here resource control and time productivity is vital, requirements are in constant change, and so is the product itself. In order to succeed in this environment a highly collaborative and evolutionary development approach is mandatory. The implications of constant changing requirements imply an iterative development process. Project focus is on Data Warehouse development and business modeling. This area is usually a tricky one. Business knowledge is part of the enterprise, how they work, their goals, what is relevant for analyses are internal business processes. Throughout this document it will be explained why Agile Modeling development was chosen. How an iterative and evolutionary methodology, allowed for reasonable planning and documentation while permitting development flexibility, from idea to product. More importantly how it was applied on the development of a Retail Focused Data Warehouse. A productized Data Warehouse built on the knowledge of not one but several client needs. One that aims not just to store usual business areas but create an innovative sets of business metrics by joining them with store environment analysis, converting Business Intelligence into Actionable Business Intelligence.

Fuzzy logic controllers (FLC) are intelligent systems, based on heuristic knowledge, that have been largely applied in numerous areas of everyday life. They can be used to describe a linear or nonlinear system and are suitable when a real system is not known or too difficult to find their model. FLC provide a formal methodology for representing, manipulating and implementing a human heuristic knowledge on how to control a system. These controllers can be seen as artificial decision makers that operate in a closed-loop system, in real time. The main aim of this work was to develop a single optimal fuzzy controller, easily adaptable to a wide range of systems – simple to complex, linear to nonlinear – and able to control all these systems. Due to their efficiency in searching and finding optimal solution for high complexity problems, GAs were used to perform the FLC tuning by finding the best parameters to obtain the best responses. The work was performed using the MATLAB/SIMULINK software. This is a very useful tool that provides an easy way to test and analyse the FLC, the PID and the GAs in the same environment. Therefore, it was proposed a Fuzzy PID controller (FL-PID) type namely, the Fuzzy PD+I. For that, the controller was compared with the classical PID controller tuned with, the heuristic Ziegler-Nichols tuning method, the optimal Zhuang-Atherton tuning method and the GA method itself. The IAE, ISE, ITAE and ITSE criteria, used as the GA fitness functions, were applied to compare the controllers performance used in this work. Overall, and for most systems, the FL-PID results tuned with GAs were very satisfactory. Moreover, in some cases the results were substantially better than for the other PID controllers. The best system responses were obtained with the IAE and ITAE criteria used to tune the FL-PID and PID controllers.

Buildings account for 40% of total energy consumption in the European Union. The reduction of energy consumption in the buildings sector constitute an important measure needed to reduce the Union's energy dependency and greenhouse gas emissions. The Portuguese legislation incorporate this principles in order to regulate the energy performance of buildings. This energy performance should be accompanied by good conditions for the occupants of the buildings. According to EN 15251 (2007) the four factors that affect the occupant comfort in the buildings are: Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), thermal comfort, acoustics and lighting. Ventilation directly affects all except the lighting, so it is crucial to understand the performance of it. The ventilation efficiency concept therefore earn significance, because it is an attempt to quantify a parameter that can easily distinguish the different options for air diffusion in the spaces. The two indicators most internationally accepted are the Air Change Efficiency (ACE) and the Contaminant Removal Effectiveness (CRE). Nowadays with the developed of the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) the behaviour of ventilation can be more easily predicted. Thirteen strategies of air diffusion were measured in a test chamber through the application of the tracer gas method, with the objective to validate the calculation by the MicroFlo module of the IES-VE software for this two indicators. The main conclusions from this work were: that the values of the numerical simulations are in agreement with experimental measurements; the value of the CRE is more dependent of the position of the contamination source, that the strategy used for the air diffusion; the ACE indicator is more appropriate for quantifying the quality of the air diffusion; the solutions to be adopted, to maximize the ventilation efficiency should be, the schemes that operate with low speeds of supply air and small differences between supply air temperature and the room temperature.

Existem em quase todos os países escalas estratigráficas destinadas a utilização geral sobretudo nas escolas e instituições que se dedicam as ciencias geológicas. Em virtude da falta de escalas semelhantes em Iíngua portuguesa tentou-se, há anos, elaborar uma escala estratigráfica geral, de que se esgotaram varias edições. Em virtude disso, e sendo aconselhavel preparar nova edição da escala em referência, decidiu-se fazê-Ia em novos moldes, revista e actualizada, dar-Ihe maior eficiência e maior volume de informação. Procurou-se elaborar escala com indicação não só dos termos nomenclaturais mais correctos, como da posição de cada unidade, da cronologia e das correlações mais significativas. Além das unidades estratigráficas, juntam-se elementos referentes a Geocronologia isotópica, Geologia de Portugal, bem como se acrescentam quadros de biozonas de alguns fósseis característicos. Na utilização destes quadros chama-se a atenção do leitor para as seguintes indicações: 1) Algumas unidades estratigraticas sao utilizadas com significado (ou valor relativo) diferente do que habitualmente Ihes tem side atribuído. O significado que se Ihes atribui agora e o internacionalmente aceite neste momento. Por exemplo, o Landoveriano, que tem sido interpretado em Portugal como andar, tem actual mente valor de Série. 2) A correlação entre as unidades cronostratigráficas a esquerda, e as unidades da Geologia portuguesa a direita, devem ser estabelecidas apenas com base nas linhas horizontais contínuas. As linhas a tracejado representam limites de unidades diferentes, de datação insuficientemente definida; aquelas linhas descontínuas nao devem pois ser utilizadas como limites cronológicos exactos. 3) São incluídos quadros de biozonas definidas a partir de organismos passíveis de fornecerem datações bastante finas mas que tem side pouco utilizados em formações portuguesas. É o caso de Acritarcas, Dinoflagelados, Nanoplâncton, Foraminíferos e Conodontes. Estamos convictos de que a obra sera útil a todos os que, de algum modo, estao ligados às Geociências. Não será no entanto de estranhar, que em obra desta índole, susceptível de aperfeiçoamento constante, possam ter passado lapsos, mesmo erros ou lacunas. Ficaremos muito gratos aos que porventura os descubram, que no-los comuniquem, a fim de serem corrigidos em eventuais futuras edições.
