Neste contexto, as tecnologias de informacao e, em especial os sistemas workflow,podem constituir uma importante infra-estrutura de suporte.A gestao do conhecimento e a automatizacao dos processos de negocio estao intimamente ligados, faltando, por vezes, alguma articulacao entre eles. Essa articulacao pode ser conseguida a partir dos sistemas workflow, ja que estes, para alem de permitirem a automatizacao dos processos de negocio, podem, tambem, ser utilizados como repositorios de regras de gestao dos processos. As organizacoes tem, assim, uma oportunidade para construir gradualmente repositorios de conhecimento que lhes permitam gerir, automatizar, avaliar e melhorar os seus processos. Neste artigo propomos, depois de enunciados e explicados os diversos conceitos teoricos associados a ...

However, the development of mobile tools has had a greater expression for customers than for commercial managers of banks. This article aims to present an architecture that supports the dematerialization of transactions at the counters of bank branches. The main goal is to foster the relationship between banks and their customers, giving flexibility to managers to conduct banking transactions from any mobile device, anywhere. This architecture is a results of a dissertation carried out under a master's degree in Information Systems.

Serão abordadas as formas de financiamento dos projetos, a forma de cooperação entre as instituições, o estabelecimento de equipas de trabalho e as consequências na sustentabilidade dos mesmos em função das opções anteriores. Palavras-chave: Cabo Verde, cooperação para o desenvolvimento, cooperação interuniversitária, informatização da justiça Sustainability in R&D projects

The use of those resources to make intensive computing proficiently is a requirement to achieve the final goal of supporting intensive computing applications. The big challenge here is managing the combined resources of available Clouds, public or private and interoperating between them without an excessive efficiency loss. On the other hand, the resource optimization can also be undertaken by maximizing the existing resources, even if not intended for Cloud purposes or not having state-ofthe-art hardware. This paper proposes an architecture, shows how to implement it and experiments on how to integrate heterogeneous resources on a hybrid Cloud infrastructure.

This paper provides a description on all the associated stages and development questions required for the establishment of a new telerehabilitation service. The service intends to provide elderly people with the possibility of performing rehabilitation sessions in their houses, with constant medical supervision via video surveillance. Following the principles of a new conceptual architecture for services, and developed according to user-centric paradigms such as multimodality and high usability criteria, early evaluation results point the service as an asset for remote rehabilitation.

This is possible through a comprehensive working system approach that ensures workers will be mentally and physically able to remain at work by the balance between work demands and individual resources allied with public health policies transfer into the workplaces by organizations’ leadership and policy makers. The Portuguese Observatory on Occupational Factors (Popsy@Work) aims at addressing this global challenge by: i) digitally collecting psychosocial data on the PWP; ii) implementing and strengthening of a psychosocial occupational health surveillance digital system; iii) providing reference values for the PWP concerning ...

Users spend hours browsing and producing contents to share, most of the times, freely. During these activities, their laptops and home PCs are considerably underused.

A common way to provide services to Digital Libraries is with the use of Web Services but Web Services are usually based on centralized architectures. In our work we propose that Peer-to-peer networks can be used to relieve the weight of centralized components on the Digital Library infrastructure. One of the challenges of this approach is to develop a method that allows the integration of existing web services into this new reality. In this paper we propose the use of a proxy that allows exposing Web Services that are only accessible trough the peer-to-peer network to the outside world. This proxy also manages interactions with existing external Web Services making them appear as part of the network itself, thus enabling us to reap the benefits of both architectures.

This paper addresses the benefits and issues of integrating both technologies in the scope of business process execution and presents proposals to reduce network traffic and improve its efficiency.

Since these background tasks are usually very demanding regarding CPU and memory usage, especially when dealing with multimedia files, centralized architectures may suffer from performance issues, affecting the responsiveness to users. In this paper, we propose a grid service layer for the execution of background jobs in digital libraries. A case study is also presented, where we evaluate the performance of a grid application.

This paper describes the work being conducted to create a framework for the creation of digital libraries, which relies on a P2P network and service-enabled peers to achieve high modularity, reusability and performance in dynamic environments. While this framework supports data and metadata storage and management, this paper focuses on its service oriented approach.

Consequently, these cause an increase in the number of developed tests. Run a large battery of tests sequentially can take hours. However, tests can run faster in a distributed environment with rapid availability of pre-configured systems, such as Cloud Computing. This paper pretends to demonstrate some scenarios on the implementation of the practice Continuous Integration (CI) in Information Systems, with software tests performed on Cloud Computing. The main goal is explore the most of capacities that CI practice gives, for automating the build and testing in a Information System.
