Abstract:The social and economic progress of a nation depends on the development of its scientific, technological and innovation systems. The cooperation capacity of the innovation agents involved is recognized as an essential element for the maturity of the system. The consolidation of cooperative action mechanisms depends on the design and implementation of an inclusive management system accepted by the entities. The creation of the Arrangement for Innovation Promotion in the area of nanotechnology in Florianópolis technological complex is a milestone for the scientific and technological development of this area in Brazil. This paper aims to present how the analysis of the network composed by potential participants of this cooperation assisted in the design and establishment of the management model. The research was able to provide information to determine the maturity of the organizations and the network resilience which are main factors for the strategically understand of inter-organizational relationship dynamics.
Recent advances in sensor-equipped smartphones are opening brand new opportunities, such as automatically extracting Points Of Interest (POIs) and mobility habits of citizens in Smart Cities from the large amount of harvested data hotspots. At the same time, the high dynamicity and unpredictability of Smart Cities crowds, opportunistically collaborating toward these common crowdsensing tasks, introduces challenging issues due to the need for fast and continuous processing of these Big Data Streams in the backend of next generation crowdsensing platforms. This paper presents our practical experiences and lessons learnt in deploying the ParticipAct platform and living lab, an ongoing experiment at University of Bologna that involves 300 students for one year. Among all management issues addressed in ParticipAct, this article shows the integration of MongoDB in the ParticipAct backend, as a powerful NoSQL storage and processing engine to fasten the identification of POIs; the reported performance results confirm the feasibility of the approach by quantifying its advantages for city managers.
An Android application is composed by building blocks called Components. Briefly the four main components of an Android application are the Activities, which handle the user interaction, the Services, which handle background processes, the Broadcast Receivers, which handle the communication between the OS and the applications and the Content Providers, which handle the data management. These entities are declared and coupled into the AndroidManifest.xml file that ratifies the interactions between them, other than the application permissions and all the libraries dependencies.
Resumo O crescimento populacional resultante do processo de urbanização sem o devido planejamento gerou uma série de problemas sociais nas cidades, tais como acesso à moradia, violência, desemprego e exclusão social. Neste contexto, questões ligadas à acessibilidade surgem de forma proeminente, principalmente considerando o aumento da conscientização das pessoas pela igualdade de direitos. Entretanto, o uso da tecnologia permite uma revisão deste problema ajudando não somente as questões relativas à acessibilidade, mas, sobretudo, no sentido de tornar as cidades mais humanas e inteligentes. A partir deste contexto, este trabalho objetivou a construção de um artefato tecnológico com vistas a mitigar o problema e propagar informações acerca da acessibilidade. Para isso, foram buscados fundamentos nos conceitos de crowdsensing e cidades inteligentes, utilizando a design research como método. As técnicas de coleta de dados abrangeram questionários fechados, entrevistas e dados iconográficos. O resultado final foi a apresentação de um aplicativo que pode ser acessado em um computador ou smartphone, de forma ativa ou passiva.
