In the last two decades, the alignment of Information Technologies (IT) and the business needs are continuous requirements. These needs arise from continuous development of a specific solution for a specific problem, without ever worrying if, in the future, such solutions can be integrated to others. In order to line up the IT with the business needs in terms of development of information systems, the use of Enterprise Architecture (EA) approaches start to be explored. The existence of an EA allows the communication infrastructure, applications, security plans, data, network services and other domains to be somehow correlated. The support for EA’s development also benefits the maintenance, since the out of date or inoperability can be avoided. This short paper describes the approach that is being followed to implement an EA on an agile and flexile automotive company, the Bosch Car Multimedia Portugal. In order to achieve this goal, an investigation is being conducted over what has already been done in the company to align with internal guidelines. Later on, a survey and analysis will be conducted on what is already implemented and correspondent business objectives alignment. From the current state of the existing architecture, a plan for EA improvements will be analyzed and proposed.

The municipalities have, as a primary responsibility, the administrative management of their territory. The use of geographic information systems (GIS) and orthophoto maps can help to handle this task. One of the great difficulties they face is related to the continuous and quick changes that the territory suffers, and whose inspection is challenging to support. An example of this is the maintenance of the swimming pool registration system, in order to validate or license them. Indeed, it requires a substantial manual intervention, yet. This paper describes a system prototype for helping on detecting swimming pools on aerial images. It explores and integrates artificial intelligence (AI), systems integration, GIS, and data visualization. The AI improves the detection of objects, and middleware supports the integration of the detection results with other municipality systems for georeferencing and private property data licensing data crossing. To the innovative interoperability services, visualization libraries were explored, and an advanced visualization and analysis system was constructed. A dataset of aerial images of swimming pools and correspondent classification metadata was created. The model was trained with several convolutional neural networks in order to obtain and compare the precision results. The more accurate model is described.

The progress of next-generation sequencing has lead to the availability of massive data sets used by a wide range of applications in biology and medicine. This has sparked significant interest in using modern Big Data technologies to process this large amount of information in distributed memory clusters of commodity hardware. Several approaches based on solutions such as Apache Hadoop or Apache Spark, have been proposed. These solutions allow developers to focus on the problem while the need to deal with low level details, such as data distribution schemes or communication patterns among processing nodes, can be ignored. However, performance and scalability are also of high importance when dealing with increasing problems sizes, making in this way the usage of High Performance Computing (HPC) technologies such as the message passing interface (MPI) a promising alternative. Recently, MetaCacheSpark, an Apache Spark based software for detection and quantification of species composition in food samples has been proposed. This tool can be used to analyze high throughput sequencing data sets of metagenomic DNA and allows for dealing with large-scale collections of complex eukaryotic and bacterial reference genome. In this work, we propose MetaCache-MPI, a fast and memory efficient solution for computing clusters which is based on MPI instead of Apache Spark. In order to evaluate its performance a comparison is performed between the original single CPU version of MetaCache, the Spark version and the MPI version we are introducing. Results show that for 32 processes, MetaCache-MPI is 1.65× faster while consuming 48.12% of the RAM memory used by Spark for building a metagenomics database. For querying this database, also with 32 processes, the MPI version is 3.11× faster, while using 55.56% of the memory used by Spark. We conclude that the new MetaCache-MPI version is faster in both building and querying the database and uses less RAM memory, when compared with MetaCacheSpark, while keeping the accuracy of the original implementation.

This paper presents a study carried out with a group of students from a robotic club, where they have used CodeCubes, a hybrid interface that combines physical paper cubes with Augmented Reality (AR). CodeCubes, intends to promote computational thinking through exploration and experimentation. The intervention, which we report here aimed at assessing children’s interest and motivation for these types of interfaces, as well as identifying possible interaction difficulties with CodeCubes. The results indicate that the children were motivated to work with CodeCubes, and that the physicality of the interface combined with AR can potentially promote hands-on learning.

The adoption of Business Intelligence (BI), Big Data, and Advanced Data Analysis techniques (such as Artificial Intelligence) by organizations for decision support is seen as incontrovertible and imperative to be competitive in the global market. If first companies are concerned with the implementation on data platforms for Data Analysis/data science, as per example, Self-Service Business Intelligence, Cloud Data Lakes, Machine Learning frameworks, Mobile Intelligence, regulations (e.g., General Data Protection Regulation – GDPR) and information security (infosec) force organizations to put in place data governance programs and data maturity assessment. The foundations for business results on using data platforms are trusted data, improved risk and analytic decisions, cost reduction and operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance. Being the deployment of BI platforms necessary to store and extract knowledge from data, the data governance is mandatory to assure the central data management, data quality, regulation, security, and privacy. Another important topic, to establish the data roadmap and assess the maturity within an organization, is the adoption of mechanisms to measure the return of investments in BI and Big Data platforms. If currently organizations tend to be data centric, a transversal approach from tools to data governance and maturity control is required.

The year 2017 was relatively tragic concerning the fires in Portugal. The scourge that settled in the country and the loss of countless human lives were engraved in the Portuguese memory. Due to extraordinary weather conditions and a lack of powerful means to immediately respond to the tragedy, more than a hundred citizens lost their lives in forest fires, some of them in severe conditions, in the middle of the forest and without a chance of escape, burned in cars as they fled. This paper presents the development of an integrated visualization system, exploring data acquired over the period of last ten years of Portuguese Forest Fires. The data was extracted from multiples of official public sources and formats, analyzed and classified accordingly. Advanced graphics and data-intense processing techniques provide distinct outputs, results, and correlations on acquired sources. This project contributes to innovative data analysis and reports perception, and it is intended to fit the expectation and needs of forest fires experts in crisis scenarios, representing an add-value for transformative co-decision.

This article presents the development of a serious game targeting secondary school students, that uses Augmented Reality (AR) to visualize, manipulate and explore mathematical concepts, particularly linear, quadratic, exponential and trigonometric (sine and cosine) functions. The motivation behind the development of the AR application was to provide students with learning materials that facilitate the exploration of a mathematical subject that is often considered difficult to learn. Whereas traditional resources for teaching and learning mathematics use manuals and scientific calculators to solve problems, the application, named FootMath, simulates a 3D football game, where the users can manipulate and explore the different functions using parameters with different values to score goals. Additionally, we discuss the potential of AR games as educational and engaging tools that can be used to facilitate learning, especially problem based learning and logical reasoning.

Sajber-Fizičkih Sistema (SFS) uspostavlja međuzavisnost fizičkog sveta i sajber sveta. Pri razmatranju stvarnog sveta, SFS će dobiti značajne ulazne podatke iz fizičkog sveta koji zahteva pravovremeni odgovor. Bez kompjuterskih kapaciteta za obradu ulaznih podataka, SFS neće biti u mogućnosti da reaguje u kratkom roku na promene u okruženju i obezbedi odgovarajuće izlazne podatke. Sadašnji SFS nisu u stanju da reaguje u realnom vremenu na izazove prilikom razmatranja problema realnih obima. Cilj je da iskoristimo performanse računarskih sistema visokih performansi kako bismo učinili SFS sposobnim da odgovori potrebnim računarskim zahtevima kako bi bili u mogućnosti da operišu u interakciju sa fizičkim svetom. Predstavljena je studija slučaja o algoritmima programiranja proizvodnje kako bi se pokazala trenutna ograničenja u performansama računanja i ukazali na moguća rešenja da bi se ciljevi postigli.

Each time a relevant proposal occurs, existing perspectives, concepts or fundamentals are confronted by emergent ones. The Industry 4.0 and its promoted production control systems based on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), made splash new potentials for the binomial human and technology (equipments and its settings). Several authors explore the envisaged required more physical and digital connection to announce interesting transformative changes, where self-configure and adaptive machines sustain the application of corrective decisions. This paper exposes a spectrum of existing CPS definitions and models and contributes with the fundamentals for an effective intelligent CPS (I-CPS), where a double loop learning process, allows its supporting software algorithms to be changed or reprogrammed. Instead, not only self-configure machines but its configuring software, too.

Globalisation and increased competition pushes companies to grow outside political and geographical boundaries, frequently forcing them to increase product diversification and optimise their relation with potential and effective partners and customers. In this scenario, implementing agile collaboration networks with business partners is a requirement. In this article the authors propose a collaborative framework based on a model for Historical, Present and Future evaluations, which in turn is based on a Dynamic Multi-criteria Decision Method using software agents and the Cloud for Collaborative Networked and Virtual Organization Synthesis. The model uses a dynamic decision approach for supplier and business partner evaluation, enabling software agents to autonomously capture business opportunities, select business partners/suppliers, award and process associated orders.

Innovative processes become available due to the high processing capacity of emergent infrastructures, such as cloud and ubiquitous computing and organizational infrastructures and applications. However, these intense computation processes are difficult to follow, where co-decision is required, for which the existence of disruptive visualization and collaboration tools that offer a visual tracing capacity with integrated decision supporting tools, are critical for its sustainable success. This project proposes: a) a set of immersive and disruptive visualization tools, supported by virtual and augmented reality, that enables a global perspective of any production agents; b) a data analytics tool to complement and assist the decision making; c) a resource federated network that allows the brokering and interaction between all existing resources; and d) a dynamic context-aware dashboard, to improve the overall productive process and contribute to intelligent manufacturing systems. The application domain addressed is Zero-Defects Diagnostics in manufacturing as well as in Industry 4.0 in general.

Building a Smarter Planet with smarter energy are increasing concerns that touch all existing and known human areas, being them social, scientific, cultural, economical or political. Environmental sensing and monitoring initiatives will be gratified by new Information System (IS) architectures and collaboration protocols arising with Cloud Computing (CC) paradigm. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to: a) demonstrate that getting an efficient control and monitoring of Environmental Sensing, requires a Big Data processing and analysis capacity; b) enrich an existing proposal of a platform based on open source technology; and c) evidence the relevance of human aligned communication channels to assure the effectiveness of all system. Objectively, this paper proposes an innovative monitoring platform for Environmental Sensing, supported by a cloud and ubiquitous architecture, using Big Data processing capacity, towards an efficient, effective, sustainable and passive eco-environment, where human-to-human relations allows the essential co-creation and co-decision in this business area.
