Construção de um ambiente de desenvolvimento de software baseado em um sistema de gerência de workflow e outros produtos comerciais

Este trabalho apresenta uma arquitetura para Ambientes de Desenvolvimento de Software (ADS). Esta arquitetura é baseada em produtos comerciais de prateleira (COTS), principalmente em um Sistema de Gerência de Workflow – SGW (Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server – E2K) - e tem como plataforma de funcionamento a Internet, integrando também algumas ferramentas que fazem parte do grande conjunto de aplicativos que é utilizado no processo de desenvolvimento de software. O desenvolvimento de um protótipo (WOSDIE – WOrkflow-based Software Development Integrated Environment) baseado na arquitetura apresentada é descrito em detalhes, mostrando as etapas de construção, funções implementadas e dispositivos necessários para a integração de um SGW, ferramentas de desenvolvimento, banco de dados (WSS – Web Storage System) e outros, para a construção de um ADS. O processo de software aplicado no WOSDIE foi extraído do RUP (Rational Unified Process – Processo Unificado Rational). Este processo foi modelado na ferramenta Workflow Designer, que permite a modelagem dos processos de workflow dentro do E2K. A ativação de ferramentas a partir de um navegador Web e o armazenamento dos artefatos produzidos em um projeto de software também são abordados. O E2K faz o monitoramento dos eventos que ocorrem dentro do ambiente WOSDIE, definindo, a partir das condições modeladas no Workflow Designer, quais atividades devem ser iniciadas após o término de alguma atividade anterior e quem é o responsável pela execução destas novas atividades (assinalamento de atividades). A arquitetura proposta e o protótipo WOSDIE são avaliados segundo alguns critérios retirados de vários trabalhos. Estas avaliações mostram em mais detalhes as características da arquitetura proposta e proporcionam uma descrição das vantagens e problemas associados ao WOSDIE.

Reestruturação produtiva na Petrobrás e ação sindical dos petroleiros do RN

Ce travail a l objectif d analyser la question de la restructuration productive dans la Petrobrás/ RN et les implications possibles sur l action syndicale du Sindipetro/RN pendant la période 1995 2003. La restructuration productive dans la Petrobrás/RN commence dans la décennie 1990 quand l entreprise, au niveau national, décide d adhérer au Programa Brasileiro de Qualidade e Produtividade PBQP lancé par le gouvernement Collor comme motivation et priorité pour que les entreprises s adaptent à l ouverture de l économie brésilienne au marché extérieur. De ce fait, la Petrobrás/RN afin de se maintenir dans le marché compétitif et mondialisé , adopte des techniques administratives basées sur la philosophie de la qualité totate, met au point des inovations technologiques et organisationnelles, tout en altérant sa base technique et adopte, encore, la tertiairisation de quelques activités visant à la reduction des coûts. De telles mesures ont atteint de façon remarquable l action du Sindipetro/RN qui commence alors à agir selon la logique de la politique néo-libérale du gouvernement de conduite anti-syndicale. Face à ces faits le syndicat a rédéfini ses actions dans le but de trouver des manières de poursuivre les luttes syndicales dans cette conjoncture de difficultés dans les relations de travail. Celui-ci s engage donc à entamer les négociations comme stratégie afin de préserver les privilèges de la catégorie et d éviter la perte des droits acquis

Análise do gerenciamento de projetos de produtos na área de desenvolvimento de motores em uma indústria automotiva

L'un des facteurs nécessaires pour qu’une entreprise reste compétitive sur le marché est la création ou l'amélioration d'un produit afin qu’il réponde aux besoins et aux attentes des clients, ainsi, le Processus de Développement de Produits (PDP) est essentiel. Pour la réussite du PDP, il est souhaitable de suivre un système standard de gestion de projet. L'objectif de cette étude est d'analyser la gestion de projets dans le processus de développement de produits dans l'industrie automobile afin d'identifier les possibilités d’amélioration. Par conséquent, nous avons procédé à une revue de littérature sur le sujet, analysé les lignes directrices et les pratiques du processus de développement de produit dans l’entreprise. Comme résultat, il a été obtenu que le système de développement de produits créé par l’entreprise requiert la clarification des outils utiles à la gestion de projet. Un problème de communication et de gestion des coûts a également été constaté dans le domaine du développement du moteur lourd

Implementação de um tuboexpansor na refinaria do Planalto Paulista – REPLAN com objetivo do aproveitamento da energia contida nos gases residuais do FCC – Fluid Catalytic Cracking na geração de energia elétrica

The steel type AISI 4130 (ultra-high strength steel) is an alloy of low carbon and its main alloying elements are chromium and molybdenum, which improves the toughness of the weld metal. It has numerous applications, especially where the need for high mechanical strength. It is widely used in equipment used by the aviation industry, such as cradle-tomotor, and this is the motivation for this study. Cots are of fundamental importance, because the engine supports and maintains balance in the fixed landing gear. This equipment is subjected to intense loading cycles, whose fractures caused by fatigue are constantly observed. Will be determined the effects caused by re-welding the structure of aeronautical equipment, and will also study the microstructure of the metal without welding. The studies will be done on materials used in aircraft, which was given to study. The results provide knowledge of microstructure to evaluate any type of fracture that maybe caused by fatigue. Fatigue is a major cause of aircraft accidents and incidents occurred, which makes the study of the microstructure of the metal, weld and re-solder the knowledge essential to the life of the material. The prevention and control of the process of fatigue in aircraft are critical, since the components are subjected to greater responsibility cyclic loading

Sémiologie appliquée a la littérature postcoloniale - L’hybridité dans « L’interieur de la nuit » De Léonora Miano.

La traditionnelle scission binaire entre races ou cultures aujourd’hui se voit porter en faux, à travers ces auteurs de la post-colonie, comme notamment Léonora MIANO, auteur du corpus qui a fait l’objet de notre analyse sous l’angle de l’hybridité. Il en ressort que aussi bien les personnages convoqués dans le roman, la manière d’écrire, l’expérience du temps et de l’espace, et enfin l’intrigue représentent chacun une instance de l’hybridité. Le personnage principal nous balade dans les méandres de la nuit : réalités souvent désolantes et désavouées de l’Afrique avec un peu d’exagération certes, mais surtout dans le but d’affirmer avec Madhu Krishnan « l’hybridation comme moyen judicieux et équilibré d’imaginer le continent africain et ses nations. » Très souvent victime d’un rejet mutuel des deux cotés des frontières entre lesquels ils/elles se retrouvent, le héros hybride fait des dégâts dans l’ordre établi des deux cotés en brisant toutes les barrières ou canons sociaux le plus souvent dans la quête d’une vraie identité ; inexistante à moins de l’imposer. L’auteur célèbre l’impureté et lui attribue un pouvoir qui déplace les montagnes pour se faire une place, au mépris de la tradition et ses principes jugés désuètes dans ce nouveau monde globalisé. /// Léonore Miano (1973 -); Cameroun; Postcolonialisme

Post processing of multiple GPS receivers to enhance baseline accuracy

Inexpensive, commercial available off-the-shelf (COTS) Global Positioning Receivers (GPS) have typical accuracy of ±3 meters when augmented by the Wide Areas Augmentation System (WAAS). There exist applications that require position measurements between two moving targets. The focus of this work is to explore the viability of using clusters of COTS GPS receivers for relative position measurements to improve their accuracy. An experimental study was performed using two clusters, each with five GPS receivers, with a fixed distance of 4.5 m between the clusters. Although the relative position was fixed, the entire system of ten GPS receivers was on a mobile platform. Data was recorded while moving the system over a rectangular track with a perimeter distance of 7564 m. The data was post processed and yielded approximately 1 meter accuracy for the relative position vector between the two clusters.
