Gestor de contenidos del geoportal de la IDE del Calbildo Insular de la Palma

Dos de los problemas más comunes presentes en las Administraciones que gestionan Información Territorial a través de una IDE, son la dificultad de que los técnicos para gestionar y actualizar la información, y la dependencia tecnológica de terceros. Parte del problema de la actualización y gestión de la información lo hemos solucionado con el desarrollo de un Gestor de Contenidos del Geoportal y de los servicios WMS, que se liberará como software libre. El Gestor funciona a través de una navegador web estándar donde el usuario, tras validarse, accede a la configuración y publicación de servicios que le permite entre otras: crear nuevos WMS, gestionar los WMS existentes, gestionar las capas del Geoportal, generar leyendas, gestionar usuarios, etc. De este modo, un usuario no técnico y sin conocimientos avanzados de geomática puede publicar capas como servicios WMS sin dificultad

El Proyecto IDE Menorca

El proyecto IDE Menorca tiene como objetivo facilitar el acceso y uso de la información territorial existente sobre Menorca. Se integra como nodo local de la IDEIB, y constituye la infraestructura de difusión de la información territorial del sistema de información corporativo común del Consell Insular de Menorca y los ocho ayuntamientos de la isla. El proyecto ha constado de cinco fases: 1. Migración de la cartografía de ficheros a una base de datos espacial, 2. Diseño e implementación de la arquitectura física del sistema 3. Modelo lógico y puesta en funcionamiento de los servicios OGC 4. Desarrollo de la aplicación de visualizador IDE 5. Creación del catálogo de metadatos

Infraestructura de Datos Espaciales de Venezuela, una IDE 100% software libre

El Centro Nacional de Tecnologías de la Información en colaboración con el Instituto Geográfico de Venezuela Simón Bolívar están abordado la construcción de la Infraestructura de Datos Espaciales de Venezuela, cuya primera fase, realizada por la Asociación gvSIG, ya está finalizada. Esta primera fase consiste en la implantación de la arquitectura del sistema y la construcción de un geoportal que permite acceder a la cartografía de referencia del país mediante servicios WMS, WFS, WCS y CSW. Todo el sistema utiliza tecnología libre. Esta primera fase se complementa con el desarrollo de un módulo formativo on-line para llevar a cabo la transferencia del conocimiento generado en el propio proyecto. Los componentes principales utilizados han sido: gvSIG como cliente SIGIDE avanzado, PostgreSQL+PostGIS como base de datos espacial, MapServer y Geoserver como servidores de mapas, Geonetwork como servidor de catálogo, OpenLayers+MapFish como cliente ligero (geoportal),Debian como sistema operativo,Apache como servidor web, TomCat como servidor de aplicaciones

Integración de la recomendación WMS-C en los estándares preexistentes en la IDE

La experiencia en el uso de los servicios de mapas basados en la especificación Web Map Service (WMS) del Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) ha demostrado que es necesario utilizar cachés de teselas para lograr un rendimiento aceptable en aplicaciones de difusión masiva, sin embargo no hay ningún mecanismo estándar para que los clientes de mapas aprovechen, a partir de la información proporcionada por el servidor de mapas, la disponibilidad de esta caché. A la espera de que la nueva recomendación WMTS se implante suficientemente, el mecanismo más extendido es la recomendación de perfil WMS-C de OsGeo. Para conseguir que la definición de mapas que contienen servicios WMSC sea lo más automática posible, se ha ampliado el servidor Geoserver para soportar un modelo de mapas de acuerdo con la recomendación WMC con algunas extensiones ad-hoc. La extensión desarrollada para Geoserver amplía su API REST para incluir soporte de WMC. De esta forma, cuando se registra una nueva configuración de mapa, mediante un documento WMC, en el que ciertas capas están cacheadas se procede automáticamente a la activación del cacheado mediante la extensión GeoWebCache. Para la utilización de las nuevas capacidades proporcionadas a Geoserver, se ha desarrollado un cliente de mapas que identifica la existencia de capas cacheadas y procede a utilizar, según convenga, los servicios cacheados y los servicios WMS tradicionales

Developing a Communication link between Agents and cross Platform IDE

The main objective of this thesis work is to develop communication link between Runrev Revolution (IDE) and JADE (Multi-Agent System) through Socket programming using TCP/IP layer. These two independent platforms are connected using socket programming technique. Socket programming is considered to be newly emerging technology among these two platforms, the work done in this thesis work is considered to be a prototype.A Graphical simulation model is developed by salixphere (Company in Hedemora) to simulate logistic problems using Runrev Revolution (IDE). The simulation software/program is called “BIOSIM”. The logistic problems are complex, and conventional optimization techniques are unlikely very successful. “BIOSIM” can demonstrate the graphical representation of logistic problems depending upon the problem domains. As this simulation model is developed in revolution programming language (Transcript) which is dynamically typed and English-like language, it is quite slow compared to other high level programming languages. The object of this thesis work is to add intelligent behaviour in graphical objects and develop communication link between Runrev revolution (IDE) and JADE (Multi-Agent System) using TCP/IP layers.The test shows the intelligent behaviour in the graphical objects and successful communication between Runrev Revolution (IDE) and JADE (Multi-Agent System).

Separation and Execution of graphical engine on a cross platform IDE to enhance performance

“Biosim” is a simulation software which works to simulate the harvesting system.This system is able to design a model for any logistic problem with the combination of several objects so that the artificial system can show the performance of an individual model. The system will also describe the efficiency, possibility to be chosen for real life application of that particular model. So, when any one wish to setup a logistic model like- harvesting system, in real life he/she may be noticed about the suitable prostitution for his plants and factories as well as he/she may get information about the least number of objects, total time to complete the task, total investment required for his model, total amount of noise produced for his establishment in advance. It will produce an advance over view for his model. But “Biosim” is quite slow .As it is an object based system, it takes long time to make its decision. Here the main task is to modify the system so that it can work faster than the previous. So, the main objective of this thesis is to reduce the load of “Biosim” by making some modification of the original system as well as to increase its efficiency. So that the whole system will be faster than the previous one and performs more efficiently when it will be applied in real life. Theconcept is to separate the execution part of ”Biosim” form its graphical engine and run this separated portion in a third generation language platform. C++ is chosenhere as this external platform. After completing the proposed system, results with different models have been observed. The results show that, for any type of plants of fields, for any number of trucks, the proposed system is faster than the original system. The proposed system takes at least 15% less time “Biosim”. The efficiency increase with the complexity of than the original the model. More complex the model, more efficient the proposed system is than original “Biosim”.Depending on the complexity of a model, the proposed system can be 56.53 % faster than the original “Biosim”.

O processo de negociação empresa-governo na atração de IDE e os relacionamentos com as organizações locais: um estudo comparativo de casos no setor automotivo

O objetivo desta pesquisa era identificar se o processo de negociação para a implantação de duas empresas multinacionais no Estado do Paraná influenciou a formação dos relacionamentos das empresas. Foram analisados os processos de negociação tendo como base a literatura sobre Investimento Direto Externo, em especial o Modelo do Poder de Barganha. Duas diferenças essenciais foram encontradas nos dois processos. A globalização e decorrente abertura do mercado brasileiro fez com que o poder de barganha do país e do Estado do Paraná fossem menor na negociação ocorrida na década de 90. A mudança de regime político e a descentralização fiscal que tiveram como conseqüência a guerra fiscal fizeram com que o poder de barganha do estado do Paraná fosse menor na década de 90. O menor poder de barganha da Volvo frente ao país e ao Estado na década de 70 influenciou-a a formar mais relacionamentos com os fornecedores locais. Já na década de 90 a Renault não foi influenciada a formar relacionamentos com os fornecedores locais. Portanto, ao serem analisados os relacionamentos das duas empresas com as organizações locais, os dados demonstraram que existia diferença significativa apenas com relação aos relacionamentos com fornecedores nacionais e multinacionais. A Volvo possui maior proporção de fornecedores nacionais que a Renault, especialmente quando utilizada a variável de controle estar instalado no Paraná. Esses resultados evidenciam mais uma das conseqüências da guerra fiscal que é uma menor integração com as organizações locais. Dentro da perspectiva da imersão social, a menor integração com as organizações locais pode levar a uma menor troca de informação entre empresa e organizações locais, e por conseqüência menor desenvolvimento de competências dessa subsidiária e a uma menor possibilidade de desenvolvimento econômico da região.

Acesso à informação geográfica: reflexões sobre a importância das Infraestruturas de Dados Espaciais (IDE) nas políticas públicas

This article discusses the access to geographic information and its importance for the public policies formulation, reflecting on the implementation of the Spatial Data Infrastructure. The data view and the maps construction are useful for identifying needs and sponsoring public managers in decision making. The public policies implementation stages are optimized when the quantitative and qualitative information are integrated to the spatial phenomena relations. The improvement in the use of geographic information for decision making will be achieved when spatial data are efficiently generated in spatial data infrastructures.

Immediate Search in the IDE as an Example of Socio-Technical Congruence in Search-Driven Development

Search-driven development is mainly concerned with code reuse but also with code navigation and debugging. In this essay we look at search-driven navigation in the IDE. We consider Smalltalk-80 as an example of a programming system with search-driven navigation capabilities and explore its human factors. We present how immediate search results lead to a user experience of code browsing rather than one of waiting for and clicking through search results. We explore the socio-technical congruence of immediate search, ie unification of tasks and breakpoints with method calls, which leads to simpler and more extensible development tools. Eventually we conclude with remarks on the socio-technical congruence of search-driven development.

Embedding Spatial Software Visualization in the IDE: an Exploratory Study

Software visualization can be of great use for understanding and exploring a software system in an intuitive manner. Spatial representation of software is a promising approach of increasing interest. However, little is known about how developers interact with spatial visualizations that are embedded in the IDE. In this paper, we present a pilot study that explores the use of Software Cartography for program comprehension of an unknown system. We investigated whether developers establish a spatial memory of the system, whether clustering by topic offers a sound base layout, and how developers interact with maps. We report our results in the form of observations, hypotheses, and implications. Key findings are a) that developers made good use of the map to inspect search results and call graphs, and b) that developers found the base layout surprising and often confusing. We conclude with concrete advice for the design of embedded software maps
