Sistema de Informação Geográfica na Internet para apoio à gestão de Infra-estruturas, baseado em ferramentas Open Source

A gestão de infra-estruturas é um processo de coordenação, avaliação sistemática e manutenção efectiva das infra-estruturas relacionadas com os serviços básicos. A gestão eficaz de infra-estruturas exige que a disposição dos equipamentos no meio urbano seja conhecida, bem como sua relação com o uso do solo. Sendo a gestão de infra-estruturas uma questão de natureza espacial, é natural pensar na utilização de um Sistema de Informação Geográfica como ferramenta com potencial de grande utilidade, pois permite a georreferenciação de dados espaciais e sua interligação com atributos alfanuméricos, para além da realização de análises complexas e a possibilidade de simular diversos cenários de modo a propiciar uma tomada de decisão eficaz. O elevado custo das licenças e a especificidade de utilização a nível técnico, tornam-se obstáculos na criação e manutenção de dados geográficos. Contudo os recentes desenvolvimentos em tecnologias da Internet têm contribuído para o acesso, publicação, exploração e distribuição da Informação Geográfica. A utilização de SIG distribuídos na Internet (WebGIS), nomeadamente na vertente livre, pode ser uma solução adequada visto que coloca funcionalidades de SIG ao alcance de utilizadores, através de um simples browser, sem necessidade de investimentos em relação a software ou mesmo em formação técnica especializada. Assim, com este projecto pretende-se a criação de um sistema de Informação geográfico na Internet, utilizando softwares livres, que disponibiliza toda a informação geográfica e alfanumérica das infra-estruturas construídas e sob a responsabilidade do Ministério das Infra-estruturas e Economia Marítima, permitindo a visualização e a realização de pesquisas e operações de análise.

LSTA Five Year Plan 2008-2012, 2007

The 2008-2012 Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) Plan represents a blueprint for the State Library of Iowa’s federally funded activities over the next five years. We feel we have been successful in striking a balance between challenging ourselves to achieve more and being realistic about what we can actually accomplish with current human and financial resources. We have incorporated “Lessons Learned” from the previous five year plan. These include: • Continue to use LSTA funding primarily for projects of statewide impact, an emphasis based on input from the Iowa library community. • Consider carefully the ramifications of taking on additional projects. We have carefully selected a few, new projects. • Leverage staff resources and non-federal funding to carry out our LSTA plan. A number of programs and services identified in the plan also use state funding, including the State Data Center, Iowa Publications Online, Direct State Aid, Open Access and Access Plus. • Measure progress regularly and frequently. We plan to review our progress in implementing the plan at least quarterly and will ask the Iowa Commission of Libraries to review progress annually. • Write objectives that come closer to identifying impact. We believe our target outcomes are do-able and come closer to measuring impact.

On optimal monetary and fiscal policy interactions in open economies

This paper studies monetary and fiscal policy interactions in a two country model, where taxes on firms sales are optimally chosen and the monetary policy is set cooperatively.It turns out that in a two country setting non-cooperative fiscal policy makers have an incentive to change taxes on sales depending on shocks realizations in order to reduce output production. Therefore whether the fiscal policy is set cooperatively or not matters for optimal monetary policy decisions. Indeed, as already shown in the literature, the cooperative monetary policy maker implements the flexible price allocation only when special conditions on the value of the distortions underlying the economy are met. However, if non-cooperative fiscal policy makers set the taxes on firms sales depending on shocks realizations, these conditions cannot be satisfied; conversely, when fiscal policy is cooperative, these conditions are fulfilled. We conclude that whether implementing the flexible price allocation is optimal or not depends on the fiscal policy regime.
