Ingeniero Civil en Computación / El auge de la distribución de contenido multimedia en los últimos años ha revolucionado la industria de las telecomunicaciones, produciendo consumidores más exigentes, llevando al límite a la actual infraestructura de redes y generando una percepción transversal de calidad sobre los servicios. Como consecuencia de ésto, la tecnología ha debido adaptarse rápidamente a los nuevos requerimientos, generando más y mejores opciones para crear aplicaciones que brinden la calidad solicitada. Ante la demanda de los consumidores por contar con un servicio óptimo, nace la necesidad de medir y comparar la calidad del servicio entregada, y contrastarla con experiencia del usuario al momento de que éste reciba la información, para responder adecuadamente ante los requerimientos planteados. El presente tema de memoria tiene por objetivo implementar una plataforma de código abierto que facilite la medición de ambos parámetros de manera conjunta. La Calidad de Servicio, que hace referencia a las capacidades técnicas al momento de transmitir datos por una red y la Calidad de Experiencia, que establece el cómo percibe subjetivamente el usuario el contenido. La solución fue diseñada en base a diferentes componentes. Primero, se diseñó un subsistema que simula los distintos tipos de redes de conexión, a los que un usuario puede estar conectado al momento de consumir contenido multimedia. Luego, se desarrolló un sistema para que un usuario pueda solicitar la creación de contenido multimedia, simulando los escenarios de conexión recién descritos. Finalmente, se estableció una metodología en donde el usuario pueda evaluar su experiencia al momento de consumir el material en cuestión. Como resultado se obtiene una plataforma web capaz de generar contenido multimedia en demanda, que logra medir la opinión del usuario en base a los parámetros que éste asigna. La plataforma implementada permite que a futuro se realicen diferentes estudios de manera estandarizada y con posibles mejoras técnicas que ayuden el desarrollo de las pruebas implementadas. Al ser una plataforma de código abierto, se permite que cualquier desarrollador o empresa enriquezca las funciones del actual sistema.

The purpose of this paper is to describe how the workgroup and I developed and construc­ted an Intranet at Pharmacia & Upjohn, Helsingborg. The Intranet was constructed by the help of WWW-technique. The intention was to increase and improve the distribution of infor­mation in the large company. Some of the employees were interviewed and asked what they could gain by using the Intranet for information distribution instead of the usual papers. They also got a chance to tell us what they thought about the whole idea with the Intranet. All of their comments and answers were put together and evaluated by the workgroup and I, before the prototype of the Intranet was shown to the employees at the company. There were many steps before we got that far and there were also a lot of technique involved. This Intranet was eveloped because of the need of fast infonnaton distribution and because the WWW-technique allows this kind of construction.

The purpose of this study is to examine the retrieval performance of three search engines, specialized in retrieving news articles: News Index, Excite News Search and Ananova. Thirty questions, grouped into three categories – politics, economy and sports, were used and the first twenty documents for each question were examined. The questions used were designed to be as current as possible and efforts were made to perform the searches with as little time span as possible between each search engine. The precision of the search engines was determined for each of the questions as well as for each category and for the combined categories. In measuring precision an average was calculated, intended to favour search engines that place its relevant documents early in the ranked list. The relevance of the retrieved documents was evaluated using a three-grade scale. Irrelevant articles and duplicates were given 0 points, partially relevant documents were given 0,5 points and those judged to be highly relevant were given 1 point. The results of the study show surprisingly high precision from two of the search engines, Excite and News Index with the former performing slightly better than the latter. Ananova performed considerably worse than the other two. One possible reason for the high precision observed is the relatively low complexity of the documents retrieved compared to web pages in general. When comparing the different categories of questions one notable result was that all search engines performed considerably worse in the "economy"-category. Possible reasons for this are, apart from a higher number of duplicates, a shortage of relevant articles for the questions in this category as well as possible differences between either the documents retrieved in the different categories, or the web pages publishing them. / Uppsatsnivå: D

In 2012 a resonance with a mass of 125 GeV resembling the elusive Higgs boson was discovered simultaneously by the ATLAS and CMS experiments using data collected from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Its observation finally confirms the mechanism for Spontaneous Electroweak Symmetry Breaking (EWSB) necessary for describing the mass structure of the electroweak (EW) gauge bosons. In 2013, Peter Higgs and Francois Englert were awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for their work in developing this theory of EWSB now referred to as the Higgs mechanism. The explanation for EWSB is often referred to as the last piece of the puzzle required to build a consistent theory of particle physics known as the Standard Model. But does that mean that there are no new surprises to be found? Many EW processes have yet to be measured and are just starting to become accessible with the data collected at the LHC. Indeed, this unexplored region of EW physics may provide clues to as yet unknown new physics processes at higher energy scales. Using the 2012 LHC data recorded by the ATLAS experiment, we seek to make the first observation of one such EW process, the massive tri-boson final state: WWW. It represents one of the first searches to probe the Standard Model WWWW coupling directly at a collider. This search looks specifically at the channel where each W boson decays to a charged lepton and a neutrino, offering the best sensitivity for making such a measurement. In addition to testing the Standard Model directly, we also use an effective field theory approach to test for the existence of anomalous quartic gauge couplings which could offer evidence for new physics at higher energies than those produced by the LHC.

Os motores de busca utilizam o WebGraph formado pelas páginas e seus links para atribuir reputação às páginas Web. Essa reputação é utilizada para montar o ranking de resultados retornados ao usuário. No entanto, novas versões de páginas com uma boa reputação acabam por distribuir os votos de reputação entre todas as versões, trazendo prejuízo à página original e também as suas versões. O objetivo deste trabalho é especificar novos escores que considerem todas as versões de uma página Web para atribuir reputação para as mesmas. Para atingir esse objetivo, foram propostos quatro escores que utilizam a detecção de versões para atribuir uma reputação mais homogênea às páginas que são versões de um mesmo documento. Os quatro escores propostos podem ser classificados em duas categorias: os que realizam mudanças estruturais no WebGraph (VersionRank e VersionPageRank) e os que realizam operações aritméticas sobre os escores obtidos pelo algoritmo de PageRank (VersionSumRank e VersionAverageRank). Os experimentos demonstram que o VersionRank tem desempenho 26,55% superior ao PageRank para consultas navegacionais sobre a WBR03 em termos de MRR, e em termos de P@10, o VersionRank tem um ganho de 9,84% para consultas informacionais da WBR99. Já o escore VersionAverageRank, apresentou melhores resultados na métrica P@10 para consultas informacionais na WBR99 e WBR03. Na WBR99, os ganhos foram de 6,74% sobre o PageRank. Na WBR03, para consultas informacionais aleatórias o escore VersionAverageRank obteve um ganho de 35,29% em relação ao PageRank. / Search engines use WebGraph formed by the pages and their links to assign reputation to Web pages. This reputation is used for ranking show for the user. However, new versions of pages with a good reputation distribute your votes of reputation among all versions, damaging the reputation of original page and also their versions. The objective of this work is to specify the new scores to consider all versions of a Web page to assign reputation to them. To achieve this goal, four scores were proposed using the version detection to assign a more homogeneous reputation to the pages that are versions of the same document. The four scores proposed can be classified into two categories: those who perform structural changes in WebGraph (VersionRank and VersionPageRank) and those who performs arithmetic operations on the scores obtained by the PageRank algorithm (VersionSumRank and VersionAverageRank). The experiments show that the performance VersionRank is 26.55% higher than the PageRank for navigational queries on WBR03 in terms of MRR, and in terms of P@10, the VersionRank has a gain of 9.84% for the WBR99 informational queries. The score VersionAverageRank showed better results in the metric P@10 for WBR99 and WBR03 information queries. In WBR99, it had a gain of 6.74% compared to PageRank. In WBR03 for random informational queries, VersionAverageRank showed an increase of 35.29% compared to PageRank.

A pesquisa realizada avalia a relação entre o projeto de um Web Site1 comercial e o Flow, e a influência desse estado cognitivo sobre a comunicação de marketing do Site. É desenvolvida a partir de três perspectivas: perspectiva tecnológica do meio, mercadológica da organização e psicológica do usuário. O enfoque da pesquisa está voltado para a perspectiva humana, onde sugere que o Flow, um estado cognitivo decorrente de um processo de interação, traz reflexos positivos às comunicações de marketing de Web Sites comerciais. As três hipóteses levantadas para responder a questão de pesquisa são: H1: As características do design gráfico e arquitetura do Web Site influenciam no nível da experimentação do Flow. H2: O usuário que experimenta o Flow interage com mais profundidade com o ambiente mediado, visitando mais páginas e permanecendo mais tempo no Web Site e, por conseqüência, ficando mais exposto as comunicações emanadas pelo Site. H3: A experimentação do Flow aumenta a probabilidade do usuário avaliar positivamente o Site, aumenta a sua predisposição em retornar ao Site ou recomendá-lo a terceiros. A pesquisa empregou um método quase experimental, utilizando como instrumento um site experimental e para os testes e análises um grupo de teste e um grupo de controle. Os resultados obtidos concluem que, primeiro, as características do design e da 1 Os termos em língua inglesa apresentados ao longo deste trabalho encontram-se no glossário.
