A significant challenge in understanding the evolution of a software system is coping with the huge amounts of data left behind during the evolution. One strategy for summarizing this data is to visualize its effect on the system’s architecture. Existing tools that implement this strategy often provide mechanisms to filter the data under consideration. However, this filtering is generally limited to showing the evolution over some unbroken sequence of time, for example the changes over the last six months. In this work we present an alternative approach designed to provide a method for examining the net effect of any set of changes on a systems architecture. We also present Motive, a prototype tool that implements this approach, and demonstrate how it can be used to answer questions about software evolution by describing case studies we conducted on two Java systems.

In this thesis, COTS-software requirements elicitation, which is an input for RFP in software intensive automation system&rsquo / s acquisition, is examined. Business Process Models are used for COTS-software requirements elicitation. A new method, namely CREB, is developed to meet the requirements of COTS-software. A software intensive system acquisition of a military organization is used to validate the method.

These days human being can find itself swamped with tons of information. It is neccessary to think over provided information given by a health care system and its efficiency. The thesis named Types of patient´s information needs is divided into a theoretical part and a practical part. Materials about nursing, medicine, psychology, sociology and a law issued in the Czech Republic and abroad were used to get necessary information about current condition of problematics. Two goals were set based on acquired knowledge. The first goal was to get to know about what type of information were requested and needed by patients and which they missed from nurses and doctors in ambulances and hospitals. The second goal was to double check if a personal perceiving of a given information corresponds with the real diagnosis. With respect to thesis goals, 9 research questions were formulated. Information regarding examined topic were acquired through research and investigation. As the means of collecting the data an interview was chosen. 23 interviews with patiens were done and the analyzed according to the Strausse theory. It was found, that patiens involved in this interview, take care about their health condition and that the information, which they perceive as important, are given to them by the medical staff. The information they have makes them more comfortable and they view it as a very important. It was as certained, that patients are very sensitive about the way the medical staff communicates with them and that their personality plays part in this process. The purpose of this thesis is to give an impulse to reinforce informing the patiens in a written form, but mainly to reinforce their personal contact with a doctor. Is is obvious, that the information and the way they get it is very important for patients.

In this context, the activities of reading and writing took place in a decontextualized way, unrelated to students experience, which made difficult the development of these skills. Against this teaching model, the work proposal from discourse genres, in which fits the current study, seeks to explore text in real conditions of use, highlighting the communicative function beyond the formal aspects of each genre. Based on theorists as Bakhtin (2011) and Marcuschi (2010) with regard to the conception of discoursive/ textual genre, and Dolz, Schneuwly and Noverraz (2011) in relation to Didactic Sequences, among others. The present study aims to prepare 9th grade students of public Elementary School located in the countryside of Pedro Régis (PB) to recognize and produce the genre letter of request from its linguistic and discursive functioning and its social use, investigating the development of skills and argumentative strategies, from the proposed contextualized textual genre production and subsidized by a didactic sequence. The genre was chosen for enabling writing with a concrete social function: request rights and persuade a specific interlocutor, through argument, to take action on any situation. Counting with ten (10) volunteer students, the corpus of our analysis was made for the first and last version of the texts produced by them during the Sequence's implementation. Based on the first productions, we mapped the main difficulties presented by students about genre, from that mapping, modules / workshops were developed aiming to overcome these difficulties. After the comparative analysis between the two versions of the letters, we identified that advances were more significant in the following ways: informativeness, cohesion mechanisms and development of argument. Therefore, the results indicate that the use of DS in the teaching-learning process of investigated genre contributed to enlarge the linguistic-discursive competence of students. / Durante muitas décadas, o ensino da língua portuguesa nas escolas esteve alicerçado sobre uma perspectiva normativa, voltando-se quase exclusivamente para a assimilação das regras gramaticais ou da norma culta. Nesse contexto, as atividades de leitura e de escrita ocorriam de maneira descontextualizada, sem relação com a vivência dos alunos, o que dificultava o desenvolvimento dessas habilidades. De encontro a esse modelo de ensino, a proposta de trabalho a partir de gêneros discursivos, na qual se enquadra a presente pesquisa, procura explorar o texto em condições reais de uso, com destaque para a função comunicativa além dos aspectos formais de cada gênero. Aportando-se em teóricos como Bakhtin (2011) e Marcuschi (2010), no que diz respeito à concepção de gênero discursivo/textual, e Dolz, Schneuwly e Noverraz (2011), no que se refere às Sequências Didáticas, entre outros. O trabalho que ora se apresenta tem como objetivo instrumentalizar os alunos do 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola municipal localizada na zona rural de Pedro Régis, PB, para reconhecerem e produzirem o gênero carta de solicitação a partir de seu funcionamento linguístico-discursivo e de seu uso social, investigando o desenvolvimento de habilidades e estratégias argumentativas, a partir da proposta de produção textual contextualizada do gênero e subsidiada por uma sequência didática. O gênero foi escolhido por possibilitar a escrita com uma função social concreta: solicitar direitos e persuadir um interlocutor específico, por meio de argumentos, a tomar providências sobre alguma situação. Contando com 10 (dez) alunos voluntários, o corpus da nossa análise foi composto pela primeira e pela última versão dos textos por eles produzidos durante a aplicação da Sequência. Com base nas primeiras produções, mapeamos as principais dificuldades apresentadas pelos alunos no tocante ao gênero e, a partir desse mapeamento, foram elaborados os módulos/oficinas com vistas à superação dessas dificuldades. Após a análise comparativa entre as duas versões das cartas, identificamos que os avanços foram mais significativos nos seguintes aspectos: informatividade, mecanismos de coesão e desenvolvimento da argumentação. Os resultados apontam, portanto, para a conclusão segundo a qual a utilização da SD no processo de ensino-aprendizagem do gênero investigado contribuiu para ampliar a competência linguístico-discursiva dos estudantes.

This thesis is focused on the European Social Fund (ESF) and on the administration of this fund in the Czech Republic. The European Social Fund is one of two structural funds which act as financial resources for co-financing, in conjunction with national and private resources, activities that reduce economic disparities between regions. Resources from structural funds allocated to the Czech Republic are, by their character, classified and administered in accordance with particular Operational Programmes, which stem from a national strategic reference framework. Standard documents, approved by the European Commission, always accompany a programme period. In the thesis apriori are described and the administration procedures of selected Operational Programmes financed by the European Social Fund, are collated. Some problems that occurred during the first programme period from 2004-2006 are then highlighted.
