Implantando a tecnologia ATM em redes locais

A topologia que envolve compartilhamento do meio físico é bastante eficiente para transmissão de dados, que embora exijam baixas probabilidades de erros, são bastante tolerantes com relação a atrasos, suportando dessa forma retransmissões e congestionamentos. As aplicações multimídia nas redes locais, no entanto, apresentam restrições severas quanto a atrasos, ocupam grande banda e requerem transmissões a altas taxas, tomando assim a topologia física de acesso múltiplo inadequada e requerendo a migração para outra base tecnológica. Essa base é o ATM (Asyncronous Transfer Mock). Devido ao fato de a tecnologia ATM ser relativamente nova no ambiente das redes locais, representar maior investimento financeiro e ser mais complexa tanto na implantação quanto no gerenciamento, existe a necessidade de planejamento. Nesse contexto se insere este trabalho, no qual são apresentadas as características básicas do ATM, sua aplicabilidade nas redes locais e um aplicativo matemático-computacional destinado à implantação da tecnologia ATM nas redes locais / Abstract: The technological advances and the offer of new services, like voice and interactive video and graphic data transmission, have generated a need of changes in traditional local area networks. The topology that involves shared media is quite efficient for data transmission applications, which require low error probabilities but are very tolerant to delays, supporting retransmissions and congestions. The multimedia applications in local area networks, however, have strong delay constraints, need large bandwidth and require transmission at high rates, making the multiple access topology inadequate and creating a need for another technology. This technology is ATM (Asyncronous Transfer Mode). As ATM is new in the local area networks environment, its implantation and management are more complex and require higher financial investiments, leading to the need of careful planning. This work is inserted in this context, presenting the basic characteristics of ATM, its aplicability in local area networks, and a software designed for suporting ATM-based LANs / Mestrado / Mestre em Engenharia Elétrica

Organizational Practices Leading to a Positive Safety Culture: A Delphi Approach

Cwalina, Andrew Matthew 01 January 2013 (has links)
A positive safety culture has been shown to contribute to a firm's ability to avoid or reduce the occurrence of occupational accidents and injuries. In American workplaces alone 3,582 people died and 5.1 million people were disabled in 2009 and the cost to corporate America was $169 billion and an additional productivity loss of 95 million work days. The economic cost to each American household is about $1,200. Firms that establish and maintain a positive safety culture are able to achieve a competitive advantage in the market. While much research exists showing the relationship between safety culture and accident reduction, less guidance is found on how companies might achieve such improvement through cultural change. Attempts have been made to determine the factor structure of safety culture, that is, the identification of the antecedents of a positive safety culture. However, to date no general consensus has emerged among researchers about the exact elements of the factor structure. Research methodologies have been blamed for biasing the research results and thereby causing the lack of consensus. This dissertation uses a different methodology, the Delphi method combined with Hofstede's well-known onion model of organizational culture, to determine those organizational practices that lead to a positive safety culture. Delphi is a mixed methodology that begins with an exploratory approach followed by the more traditional quantitative method. The exploratory front-end was deemed appropriate given that prior traditional survey instruments most likely introduced researcher bias through a myopic view of safety culture. Delphi also differs by utilizing purposeful sampling versus random sampling which provides a high level of expertise to inform the research. After four rounds of inquiry with a panel of experts, a consensus was reached on 18 organizational practices that lead to a positive safety culture. This research adds to the understanding of safety culture, provides useful information for both practitioners and academic researchers, and offers launch points for extensions of the research.

METODOLOGIA PARA LA EVALUACIÓN DE LA SOSTENIBILIDAD DE LAS ACTIVIDADES DE TURISMO EN LAS ÁREAS PROTEGIDAS MEDIANTE EL EMPLEO DE LAS TÉCNICAS ANP y DELPHI. CASO DE ESTUDIO: PARQUE NACIONAL ARCHIPIÉLAGO LOS ROQUES

Acuña Dutra, Silvia Yudith 19 June 2013 (has links)
El turismo en las áreas naturales protegidas (AP) se desarrolla continuamente como consecuencia de diversos factores relacionados con la necesidad de explotar el capital natural (en especial en países en desarrollo) y la creciente demanda del sector turístico. Esta actividad supone una oportunidad y una amenaza para las AP y aumenta notablemente la exigencia a sus sistemas de gestión. Para conseguir una explotación turística sostenible, compatible con los objetivos de conservación de las AP, lo más efectivo está resultando que la gestión de AP implique a todos los grupos de interés. En esta tesis doctoral se presenta un procedimiento para mejorar la participación y la toma de decisiones de gestión en relación al turismo de AP. El procedimiento está basado en el modelado de los problemas de decisión mediante Analytic Network Process (ANP), y la participación de los grupos de interés en la evaluación de dichos problemas mediante Delphi. El procedimiento se valida mediante un caso de aplicación: la gestión del turismo en el Parque Nacional Archipiélago Los Roques de Venezuela. Aplicando ANP se ha obtenido un modelo del problema de decisión que define 13 criterios de evaluación que actúan como objetivos de sostenibilidad a cumplir por las propuestas de turismo. Estos criterios se han agrupado en cuatro conjuntos o clústeres: ¿Aspectos sociales¿, ¿Aspectos político-administrativos¿, ¿Medio físico-natural¿ e ¿Impactos ambientales locales¿. Además se identificaron 3 alternativas de actuación: ¿Construcción de complejos turísticos ecoeficientes¿, ¿Desarrollo de actividades amigables con el ambiente¿ y ¿Desarrollo de sistemas de transporte sustentables¿. Para mejorar la participación de los grupos de interés en la priorización de los criterios de evaluación y las alternativas de acción se ha utilizado el método Delphi. Así, los juicios necesarios para el ANP fueron discutidos y consensuados en lo posible mediante Delphi entre representantes de 8 grupos de interés. Este procedimiento permitió, por un lado lugar entender mejor los problemas de decisión en la gestión del turismo en el caso de estudio. Por otro lado facilitó la participación de grupos de interés muy distintos con diferentes niveles de formación, diferentes intereses y recursos para la participación. También permitió explicar las razones para las preferencias de cada grupo de interés por uno u otro criterio de sostenibilidad o alternativa de acción. La combinación de ANP y Delphi permitió asimismo discutir los resultados y alcanzar consensos sobre varios elementos del problema de decisión. Finalmente, el procedimiento propuesto en esta tesis doctoral permite obtener resultados agregados o desagregados que contribuyen no solo a una gestión más objetiva y participativa sino a la transparencia de la toma de decisiones y la trazabilidad de todo el proceso.
