The purpose of this paper is to verify the factors that influence acceptance it in the context of cloud computing systems adoption. This study presents the theoretical factors, which influence the acceptance of new information systems. The first part contains a literature review on Cloud Computing. We describe the Technology Acceptance Model, applied with research hypothesis for an empirical study. The paper presents an empirical study conducted in a user dimension. Many users, professional and personal answered to a questionnaire from various fields. In this study, we concluded that perceived usefulness has a positive impact in the intention of using cloud computer systems, among other conclusions.
Background: One of the most important current challenges of Software Engineering (SE) research is to provide relevant evidence to practice. In health related fields, Rapid Reviews (RRs) have shown to be an effective method to achieve that goal. However, little is known about how the SE research community perceives the potential applicability of RRs. Aims: The goal of this study is to understand the SE research community viewpoints towards the use of RRs as a means to provide evidence to practitioners. Method: To understand their viewpoints, we invited 37 researchers to analyze 50 opinion statements about RRs, and rate them according to what extent they agree with each statement. Q-Methodology was employed to identify the most salient viewpoints, represented by the so called factors. Results: Four factors were identified: Factor A groups undecided researchers that need more evidence before using RRs; Researchers grouped in Factor B are generally positive about RRs, but highlight the need to define minimum standards; Factor C researchers are more skeptical and reinforce the importance of high quality evidence; Researchers aligned to Factor D have a pragmatic point of view, considering RRs can be applied based on the context and constraints faced by practitioners. Conclusions: In conclusion, although there are opposing viewpoints, there are also some common grounds. For example, all viewpoints agree that both RRs and Systematic Reviews can be poorly or well conducted.
RESUMO: O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a viabilidade econômica da implantação de uma trilha ecoturística interpretativa no município de Murici (AL). Para elaboração da trilha foi utilizado o método de Indicadores de Atratividade de Pontos Interpretativos (IAPI), sendo aplicado um questionário estruturado junto aos moradores da comunidade, em 2017. Para a análise da viabilidade foram levantados os principais custos e receitas para a implantação e o funcionamento da trilha. Posteriormente, foi realizada a análise do período de Payback e do Valor Presente Líquido (VPL), a partir dos fluxos de caixa projetados. Os resultados revelaram que os moradores da comunidade de Porto Velho são favoráveis a implantação da trilha interpretativa e se mostraram dispostos a assumirem a gestão. A análise financeira evidenciou a viabilidade do investimento. Desta forma, concluiu-se que há potencial ecoturístico na região e os retornos a serem obtidos no investimento tornam viável a implantação da trilha interpretativa na localidade.
PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Ecoturismo, Viabilidade Econômica, Mata Atlântica Alagoana.
