Revolutionising the quality of life: the role of real-time sensing in smart cities
Miranda, Rui; Alves, Carlos Manuel Ferreira; Sousa, Regina; Chaves, António; Martinez, Larissa Muriel Montenegro; Peixoto, Hugo; Durães, DalilaTo further evolve urban quality of life, this paper explores the potential of crowdsensing and crowdsourcing in the context of smart cities. To aid urban planners and residents in understanding the nuances of day-to-day urban dynamics, we actively pursue the improvement of data visualisation tools that can adapt to changing conditions. An architecture was created and implemented that ensures secure and easy con...
Development of an interoperability platform for information systems in the ehea...
Pereira, José D.; Brito, Miguel A.; Machado, Ricardo J.EHealth has emerged as a new field at the intersection of medical informatics, public health and business, referring to healthcare services and information provided or enhanced through information technologies. Today, it is very focused on improving the interoperability between Electronic Health Records (EHRs), Electronic Medical Records (EMRs), and between them and the applications installed on patients' devic...
Smart cities using crowdsensing and geoferenced notifications
Miranda, Rui Pedro Mesquita; Ribeiro, Eduarda; Durães, Dalila; Peixoto, Hugo; Machado, Ricardo J.; Abelha, António; Machado, José ManuelAs the internet and the Internet of Things continue to expand, the idea of Smart Cities has begun to take hold. Smart Cities use connected devices and data to improve the environment and quality of life of their citizens. Technologies such as crowdsensing and geofencing allow citizens to contribute to initiatives and receive notifications when near areas of interest, respectively. This paper presents a systemat...
Development of a self-diagnostic system integrated into a cyber-physical system
Oliveira, Domingos F.; Gomes, João P.; Pereira, Ricardo B.; Brito, Miguel A.; Machado, Ricardo J.CONTROLAR provides Bosch with an intelligent functional testing machine used to test the correct functioning of the car radios produced. During this process, the radios are submitted to several tests, raising the problem of how the machine detects errors in several radios consecutively, making it impossible to know if the device has a problem since it has no module to see if it works correctly. This article ari...
Activity based simulation - A modeling tool for new teaching-learning strategies
Pereira, Guilherme; Vieira, António Amaro Costa; Machado, Ricardo J.; Ferreira, Bruno Lourenço Silva; Dias, Luis S.; Oliveira, José A.Teaching and learning Discrete Event Simulation (DES) at universities within the context of undergraduate studies in industrial and engineering management is not thoroughly covered in the literature. In fact, most strategies tend to solely address commercial tools, resulting on too much focus on syntax, semantics and getting used to the interface of a particular tool, rather than on simulation fundamental conce...
Longevity of risks in software development projects: a comparative analysis wit...
Alves, Luís M.; Souza, Gustavo; Ribeiro, Pedro; Machado, Ricardo J.The study presented in this paper was developed in an academic environment. All subjects involved in this research are enrolled in the Information Systems Master’s Degree of the University of Minho. The main objective of this study is to demonstrate the need for the continuity of studies about the risks presented in software development projects. For this purpose, we analyzed more than four hundred risks and ab...

Witeck, Gabriela Rosa; Alves, Anabela Carvalho; Almeida, Joana P. de; Santos, Ana J.; Lima, Ana L.; Machado, Ricardo J.Lean Thinkingaligned with Information technology can promote competitiveness for modern enterprises, while improve the performance of technological activities and eliminate no value-added tasks to the design process of product. The paper is a contextualization of the current wastes evidenced during the research work carried out in a company that supplies electronic components to automotive industry. Workshops w...
Leaning processes by mobile technologies in a Product Development Sample Shop
Witeck, Gabriela Rosa; Alves, Anabela Carvalho; Santos, Ana João; Lima, Ana L.; Machado, Ricardo J.; Almeida, Joana P. de; Morais, JoaoLean Thinking is a well-known management philosophy pulling continuous improvement in all organizations processes. By doing this, solutions are designed to add value to the product by reducing wastes in the processes. The wastes could be identified by Value Stream Design for indirect Areas (VSDiA) tool. This tool increase company awareness of each complete process and allows improvement opportunities. Such impr...
A web-based voice interaction framework proposal for enhancing information syst...
Pereira, Tiago F.; Matta, Arthur; Mayea, Carlos M.; Pereira, Frederico; Monroy, Nelson; Jorge, João; Rosa, Tiago; Salgado, Carlos E.; Lima, AnaNowadays, numerous organisations of different dimensions and business sectors operate in highly challenging and dynamic environments, wherein the supporting information systems (IS) are becoming increasingly complex. In this context, assistive tools capable of tackling such complexity have the potential to aid users improving their performance and effectiveness, as well as to streamline businesses' processes an...
