PortAberta para a Ciência Aberta: portais de investigação da Universidade do Mi...
Príncipe, Pedro; Saraiva, Ricardo; Truta, Raquel; Rodrigues, Eloy; Pais, Clarisse; Alves, AlbanoEste trabalho visa apresentar o projeto PortAberta – Portal de Investigação para a Ciência Aberta – que tem como promotores a Universidade do Minho e o Instituto Politécnico de Bragança. A iniciativa surge com o propósito de colmatar uma necessidade partilhada de estabelecer um sistema Current Research Information Systems e Portal de Investigação, como ferramentas para apoiar e reforçar a afirmação na investiga...
A data mining approach for predicting academic success – a case study
Martins, Maria Prudência; Miguéis, Vera; Fonseca, Davide; Alves, AlbanoThe present study puts forward a regression analytic model based on the random forest algorithm, developed to predict, at an early stage, the global academic performance of the undergraduates of a polytechnic higher education institution. The study targets the universe of an institution composed of 5 schools rather than following the usual procedure of delimiting the prediction to one single specific degree cou...
Management design as a strategic lever to add value to corporate reputation com...
Maduro, Soraia; Fernandes, Paula Odete; Alves, AlbanoPurpose: The purpose of this paper is to aid the convergence of design and management as a strategic lever and innovative tool to improve corporate reputation in higher education institutions (HEIs), particularly in the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança, Portugal (IPB). Design/methodology/approach: SWOT analysis is used to identify strengths and weaknesses in the context of an organization’s internal competenci...
Estudo sobre o abandono escolar nos cursos do 1.º e 2.º ciclos de estudos do In...
Ferreira, Sérgio; Fernandes, Paula Odete; Alves, AlbanoThe main objective of this research is to know the reasons for dropping out in the 1st and 2nd cycle programmes of the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança, in the period 2008-2012. The information was collected from 4107 students who dropped out of the IPB, between 2008-2012. The data collection of the 350 respondents was carried out by telephone from March to May 2014. The main results showed that a high dropout...
Corporate reputation correlation as a strategic marketing tool in service desig...
Maduro, Soraia; Fernandes, Paula Odete; Alves, AlbanoThis paper focused on the scope of the Design Management as a differentiating agent in the use of resources of the design and its interaction with the strategies and goals of a Service Sector, particularly in Higher Education Institutions (HEI). Currently the Reputation of HEI represents an intangible capital and a valuable asset and is recognized an important role in the differentiation and competitive advanta...
Gestão da informação científica e repositórios: o caso da Biblioteca Digital do...
Pais, Clarisse; Alves, Albano; Rodrigues, OrlandoOs repositórios institucionais são estruturas de apoio à investigação que promovem a integração, a partilha e o acesso aberto à produção científica realizada e produzida pela comunidade académica. São ainda um garante para a preservação da memória intelectual e da investigação aplicada de referência. Os repositórios institucionais revestem-se de uma importância cada vez maior para as instituições enquanto produ...
Biblioteca Digital do IPB: integração, partilha e acesso aberto
Pais, Clarisse; Alves, AlbanoEm junho de 2006 foi criada a Biblioteca Digital do IPB e em novembro desse mesmo ano foram depositados os primeiros documentos. Foram dados os primeiros passos para a concretização de um objetivo plural - a criação de um repositório. É uma estrutura de apoio à investigação que promove a integração, a partilha e o acesso aberto à produção científica, realizada e produzida pela comunidade académica do Instituto ...
clOpenCL - supporting distributed heterogeneous computing in HPC clusters
Alves, Albano; Rufino, José; Pina, António; Santos, Luis PauloClusters that combine heterogeneous compute device architectures, coupled with novel programming models, have created a true alternative to traditional (homogeneous) cluster computing, allowing to leverage the performance of parallel applications. In this paper we introduce clOpenCL, a platform that supports the simple deployment and efficient running of OpenCL-based parallel applications that may span several ...
Distributed heterogeneous computing with clOpenCL
Ribeiro, Tiago Filipe Rodrigues; Afonso, Mário João da Costa; Rufino, José; Alves, AlbanoClusters of heterogeneous computing nodes provide an opportunity to significantly increase the performance of parallel and High-Performance Computing (HPC) applications, by combining traditional multi-core CPUs coupled with accelerator devices, interconnected by high throughput and low latency networking technologies. However, developing efficient applications to run in clusters that integrate GPUs and other ac...
Deploying applications in multi-SAN SMP Clusters (extended version)
Alves, Albano; Pina, António; Rufino, José; Exposto, JoséThe effective exploitation of multi-SAN SMP clusters and the use of generic clusters to support complex information systems require new approaches; multi-SAN SMP clusters introduce new levels of parallelism and traditional environments are mainly used to run scientific computations. In this paper we present a novel approach to the exploitation of clusters that allows integrating in a unique metaphor: the repres...
