Modelo institucional do processo de estruturação de empresas de desenvolvimento de software: um estudo de múltiplos casos

Some authors have shown the need of understanding the technological structuring process in contemporary firms. From this perspective, the software industry is a very important element because it provides products and services directly to many organizations from many fields. In this case, the Brazilian software industry has some peculiarities that distinguish it from other industries located in developed countries, which makes its understanding even more relevant. There is evidence that local firms take different strategies and structural configurations to enter into a market naturally dominated by large multinational firms. Therefore, this study aims to understand not only the structural configurations assumed by domestic firms but also the dynamic and the process that lead to these different configurations. To do so, this PhD dissertation investigates the institutional environment, its entities and the isomorphic movements, by employing an exploratory, descriptive and explanatory multiple cases study. Eight software development companies from the Recife's information technology Cluster were visited. Also, a form was applied and an interview with one of the main firm s professional was conducted. Although the study is predominantly qualitative, part of the data was analyzed through charts and graphs, providing a companies and environment overview that was very useful to analysis done through the interviews interpretation. As a result, it was realized that companies are structured around hybrids business models from two ideal types of software development companies, which are: software factory and technology-based company. Regarding the development process, it was found that there is a balanced distribution between the traditional and agile development paradigm. Among the traditional methodologies, the Rational Unified Process (RUP) is predominant. The Scrum is the most used methodology among the organizations based on the Agile Manifesto's principles. Regarding the structuring process, each institutional entity acts in such way that generates different isomorphic pressure. Emphasis was given to entities such as customers, research agencies, clusters, market-leading businesses, public universities, incubators, software industry organizations, technology vendors, development tool suppliers and manager s school and background because they relate themselves in a close way with the software firms. About this relationship, a dual and bilateral influence was found. Finally, the structuring level of the organizational field has been also identified as low, which gives a chance to organizational actors of acting independently

Os instrumentos de incentivo à produção e uso de biodiesel no Brasil: uma análise constitucional sob o princípio do desenvolvimento sustentável

The recent insertion of biodiesel derived from oily vegetables in the Brazilian energetic matrix calls for the study of some aspects that belong to it. The analysis of the carbonized energetic pattern concerns the paradigm of economic development that is constitutionally enshrined sustainable development which make environmental protection compatible with the needs of the economic rationality. This text is structured according to the ideas of modern hermeneutic that sees substantial value in the principles capable of create a harmonious relationship between law and society. The study of the constitutional principles to conduct a legal analysis about the National Program for Production and Use of Biodiesel - PNPB. The aim of the research is the study of PNPB ahead with the constitutional principles governing the economic order. To achieve this end we studied the sustainable development as a constitutional principle. We start with the notion that the thematic principles, and fundamental to understanding the dimension of sustainable development institute, since its concept is closely related to the applications of the principles enshrined in virtually all the constitutional order of the Western world. Then this was the National Energy Policy, initiating the approach by guiding principles of the National Energy Policy to develop the theme of public policy in the energy sector. Therefore, we studied the National Program of Biodiesel Production and Use - PNPB. From a technical introduction to the concept of biodiesel and a brief historical background, analyzing their advantages compared to fossil fuels predominantly used. Then it became a regulatory overview of the Brazilian legislation on the subject, central to understanding the plans and objectives pursued by the Brazilian government with encouraging the production of biodiesel. Finally discussed the tax incentives for production and use of biodiesel in Brazil. From the idea of federalism, characterized the tax as an instrument of state intervention in the economy. And finally it brought the tax incentives of Law No. 11.116/2005 in the face of the constitutional principles of economy and tax, and tax incentives from projects related to the Kyoto Protocol

Uma abordagem dirigida por modelos para desenvolvimento de middlewares auto-adaptativos para transmissão de fluxo de dados baseado em restrições de QoS

The use of middleware technology in various types of systems, in order to abstract low-level details related to the distribution of application logic, is increasingly common. Among several systems that can be benefited from using these components, we highlight the distributed systems, where it is necessary to allow communications between software components located on different physical machines. An important issue related to the communication between distributed components is the provision of mechanisms for managing the quality of service. This work presents a metamodel for modeling middlewares based on components in order to provide to an application the abstraction of a communication between components involved in a data stream, regardless their location. Another feature of the metamodel is the possibility of self-adaptation related to the communication mechanism, either by updating the values of its configuration parameters, or by its replacement by another mechanism, in case of the restrictions of quality of service specified are not being guaranteed. In this respect, it is planned the monitoring of the communication state (application of techniques like feedback control loop), analyzing performance metrics related. The paradigm of Model Driven Development was used to generate the implementation of a middleware that will serve as proof of concept of the metamodel, and the configuration and reconfiguration policies related to the dynamic adaptation processes. In this sense was defined the metamodel associated to the process of a communication configuration. The MDD application also corresponds to the definition of the following transformations: the architectural model of the middleware in Java code, and the configuration model to XML

Hyper-Automaton: avaliação interativa de alunos em cursos na WEB baseado em autômatos finitos

O objetivo desta dissertação é a elaboração de uma técnica da aplicação do formalismo de Autômatos Finitos com Saída (Máquina de Mealy e Máquina de Moore) como um modelo estrutural para a organização de hiperdocumentos instrucionais, em destacar especial, Avaliação e Exercício. Esse objetivo é motivado pela organização e agilização do processo de avaliação proporcionado ao professor e ao aluno. Existem diferentes técnicas de ensino utilizadas na Internet, algumas dessas continuam sendo projetadas com o uso de metodologias tradicionais de desenvolvimento, outras têm a capacidade de modelar de forma integrada e consistente alguns aspectos necessários para uma aplicação WEB. Para alcançar o objetivo proposto, foram realizadas pesquisas nas várias áreas abrangidas pelo tema em evidência, tanto relativo ao processo tradicional (aplicação de prova utilizando metodologia tradicional), como o desenvolvimento de software mediado por computador e uso da Internet em si. A modelagem de desenvolvimento para Internet deve integrar características de técnicas de projeto de sistemas de hipermídia devido à natureza hipertextual da Internet. O uso de hiperdocumento como autômatos com saída está na forma básica de representação de hipertexto, em que cada fragmento de informação é associado a um nodo ou a um link (estado/transições) do grafo. Sendo assim, os arcos direcionados representam relacionamentos entre os nodos ou links, ou seja, uma passagem do nodo origem para o nodo destino. As n-uplas dos autômatos apresentam uma correspondência as estruturas de hiperdocumentos na WEB, seu estado/transição inicial corresponde a sua primeira página e suas transições definidas na função programa, funcionam como ligações lógicas, quando selecionadas durante a navegação do hipertexto. Entretanto, faz-se necessário um levantamento dos modelos de hipertextos e das ferramentas de implementação disponíveis para a Internet, a fim de que seja capaz de suportar as peculiaridades do ambiente. Tudo isso deve ser integrado preferencialmente em um paradigma de desenvolvimento amplamente aceito, para que os projetistas não tenham muitas dificuldades em assimilar os conceitos propostos. A proposta apresentada nesta dissertação, batizada de Hyper-Automaton (hipertexto e autômato), consiste na integração de um Curso na WEB, utilizando formalismo de Autômatos Finitos com Saída para a modelagem dos conceitos necessários e definição das fases adequadas para completar a especificação de Sistema Exercício e Avaliação, bem como a especificação da Geração Automática dos Exercícios e Avaliações baseadas em autômatos para a WEB. Os modelos criados abrangem conceitos de Máquina de Mealy, Máquina de Moore e Aplicações de Hiperdocumentos e Ferramentas de Programação para Internet, os mesmos já testados em caso real. Os parâmetros apurados, nos testes, serviram a uma seqüência de etapas importantes para modelar e complementar a especificação do sistema projetado. Com os parâmetros e etapas de modelagem, a metodologia Hyper-Automaton consegue integrar, de forma consistente, as vantagens de várias técnicas específicas de modelagem de documentos e sistemas de hipermídia. Essas vantagens, aliadas ao suporte às ferramentas de desenvolvimento para Internet, garantem que a metodologia fique adequada para a modelagem de Sistemas com aplicação de métodos de autômatos para exercícios e avaliação na WEB.
