Estas tecnologias prov?m alta performance e acesso em granularidade de bytes com a distinta vantagem de serem persistentes. Por?m, afim de explorar estas tecnologias em todo seu potencial, os sistemas e arquiteturas de hoje precisam buscar meios de se adaptar a esta nova forma de acessar dados e de superar os desafios que v?m com ela.Trabalhos existentes na ?rea j? prop?em m?todos para adaptar as arquiteturas existentes para o uso de NVM bem como formas inovadoras de empregar estas mem?rias em futuras aplica??es. No entanto, o suporte dos sistemas operacionais a estas solu??es, ainda que existente, ainda ? muito limitado. Neste trabalho, n?s apresentamos duas varia??es da chamada de sistema msync, modeladas para explorar as caracter?sticas das tecnologias de NVM e garantir consist?ncia para os dados dos usu?rios. Ambas s?o solu??es simples que permitem aos usu?rios definirem checkpoints de seus arquivos usando a sintaxe comum de sistemas de arquivos. N?s implementamos e testamos estes m?todos sobre o sistema operacional Linux utilizando como base um sistema de arquivo nativamente voltado a NVM. Nossos resultados mostram que estes mecanismos s?o capazes de garantir a integridade dos arquivos mesmo na presen?a de falhas no sistema enquanto mant?m uma performance razo?vel. / Upcoming non-volatile memory technologies are a big promise in computer architecture and are expected to be powerful tools to address today?s issues regarding efficient data manipulation. They provide high performance and byte granularity while also having the distinct advantage of being persistent. However in order to explore these technologies to their full potential, existing systems and architecture must adapt to this new way of working with data and workaround the challenges that come with it. Existing work in the area already proposes methods to adapt existing architecture to NVM as well as innovative ways to employ these memories in future applications. However operating system support to such NVM-enabled solutions, although existent, still very limited. In this work, we present two variations of the existing mmap system call, designed to both explore NVM characteristics and provide user data consistency. Both are very simple solutions that allow users to control the persistence and define checkpoints to their files while using the common mapped file syntax. We have implemented and tested these methods over Linux using a NVM file system as our base. Our results show that these mechanisms can ensure file integrity in the presence of system failures while also providing a reasonable performance.

In 2016, the Japanese Council for Science, Technology and Innovation (CSTI) proposed a project about sustainable smart societies known as Society 5.0. Society 5.0 advocates the use of advances in computer science and software engineering such as internet of things, artificial intelligence, augmented and virtual reality, as a way of resolving societal issues such as reducing the number of deaths in everyday traffic, reducing the amount of greenhouse gas emissions, and so forth. In this thesis, we report on the planning, execution, and results of a systematic mapping study aiming at understanding the role of software engineering in Society 5.0. To this end, we focus on identifying the main software engineering technologies enabling Society 5.0 as well as the main software engineering open challenges hampering its realisation. Starting from an initial set of 829 peer-reviewed publications and by means of a rigorous selection process, we selected a final set of 58 primary studies, which we analysed following a meticulous data extraction, analysis, and synthesis process. The selected primary studies described a set of 13 software engineering technologies acting as enablers of Society 5.0. The application of these technologies comes with technical challenges. In this respect, the selected primary studies identified 9 software engineering open challenges hampering the realisation of Society 5.0.
