A digital transformation approach to scaffold tourism crowding management: pre-...
Abreu, Fernando Brito e; Marinheiro, Rui Neto; Boavida-Portugal, Inês; Lopes, Adriano; Santos, Tomás Mestre; Almeida, Duarte Sampaio de; Simões, RodrigoTourism would probably not be economically sustainable without some localized crowding phenomena. Whatever the carrying capacity of the points of interest, their tourism managers should plan, monitor, and analyze visitors’ crowding data to either prevent or mitigate the well-known effects of tourism overcrowding, such as degrading the tourists’ experience, impacting negatively the environment and the local popu...
A modular web-based software solution for mobile networks planning, operation a...
Lopes, Adriano; Oliveira, João; Sebastiao, Pedro; Sousa, Marco; Vieira, PedroMobile networks management is increasingly critical due to heavy communications usage by customers and complex due to the multiple technologies and systems deployed. Thus, Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) are constantly looking for better software solutions and tools to help them increase network performance and manage their networks more efficiently. In this paper, we present a modular web-based software soluti...
Interfaces between servant processes and service classification
Lopes, Adriano; Nóbrega, Kleber Cavalcanti; Guimarães, Luciana Gondim de AlmeidaIn this paper, a theoretical approach was developed to analyze servant processes’ characteristics in different types of services, as professional, shop and mass services. Facilitator, responsiveness, flexibility, customer focus and tend to be higher in professional services. Responsiveness and simplicity tend to be higher in mass services while only responsiveness is highlighted on service shops.
Tomo-GPU: a problem-solving environment for analysing tomographic data of struc...
Quaresma, Paulo Jorge; Lopes, Adriano; Medeiros, Pedro; Preto, Bruno; Velhinho, AlexandreThe micro-structural characterization of composite materials uses X-ray tomography to collect information about the internal characteristics of the samples, in order to educate the researcher about their intrinsic properties. The raw tomographic data, need to go through several steps of computational processing, starting with the elimination of noise and other artifacts. The experience gained by the authors has...

Quaresma, Paulo Jorge; Medeiros, Pedro Duarte; Lopes, Adriano; Preto, Bruno; Velhinho, AlexandreA caracterização micro-estrutural de materiais compósitos utiliza a tomografia de raios X para capturar informação sobre as características internas das amostras, de forma a elucidar o investigador sobre as suas propriedades intrínsecas. Os dados tomográficos em bruto carecem de processamento mediante diversas operações computacionais, que começam pela eliminação de ruído e outros artefactos. A experiência adqu...
Actas do 13º Encontro Português de Computação Gráfica
Lopes, AdrianoEste livro de actas contém as contribuições dos autores para o 13º Encontro Português de Computação Gráfica, realizado em Vila Real entre 12 e 14 de Outubro de 2005. Tal como em edições anteriores, o Encontro visou essencialmente a reunião de investigadores, docentes e profissionais da Computação Gráfica e áreas afins, permitindo a divulgação de trabalhos realizados ou em curso, bem como a troca de experiências...
Improving the robustness and accuracy of the marching cubes algorithm for isosu...
Lopes, Adriano; Brodlie, KenThis paper proposes a modification of the Marching Cubes algorithm for isosurfacing, with the intent of improving the representation of the surface in the interior of each grid cell. Our objective is to create a representation which correctly models the topology of the trilinear interpolant within the cell and which is robust under perturbations of the data and threshold value. To achieve this, we identify a sm...
