A tendência em ampliar o uso das tecnologias com aproveitamento da energia solar no setor residencial traz para os profissionais da área de projeto novos desafios que é o de reestruturar seus modelos de concepção e desenvolvimento de projetos a fim de garantir o comportamento em uso e a eficiência dos sistemas construtivos seguros. O Modelo conceitual de identificação e qualificação de risco proposto foi elaborado a partir da pesquisa de investigação e de desenvolvimento experimental. Foram considerados aspectos relativos às demandas de segurança em uso, construção do conhecimento a partir da sistemografia e a forma de integração desses saberes em um único sistema. O desenvolvimento experimental ocorreu durante o processo de projeto, produção, montagem, uso e operação de um protótipo denominado Ekó House. A metodologia aplicada envolveu quatro fases: Fase 1 - Exploratória - com pesquisas bibliográficas (as tecnologias, normas e práticas de projeto; Fase 2 - Definições - com a escolha da base teórica de apoio ao modelo; Fase 3 - Desenvolvimento - proposições e experimentos e Fase 4 - Teste e consolidação. Para validar o modelo aplicou-se a validação por generalização analítica, ou seja, expandir e generalizar a teoria. O modelo proposto, inovador no âmbito da sistemografia, apoiou-se na Teoria do Sistema Geral: teoria da modelização proposta por LE MOIGNE. Essa teoria trabalha com sistemas complexos e se apoia em processadores, são eles: de operação, informação e decisão que condicionam a integração sistêmica do projeto. Verificou-se durante a aplicação do modelo que ele estimula o aprofundamento das análises das soluções de projeto, quando: a)Identifica e formaliza conceitos que suportam o desenvolvimento das soluções nos diversos sistemas; xv b)Facilita a compreensão e síntese das múltiplas informações que precisam ser compatibilizadas no projeto; c)Formaliza um único principio \"segurança do usuário\" para a lógica de concepção e desenvolvimento de projeto; d)Organiza e permite que se priorizem as informações técnicas [fabricantes e normas];e)Facilita o entendimento por meio de informações as ações de organização e coordenação dos sistemas no espaço e de sua relação com as funcionalidades, uso e estética; e f)Fomenta a busca de soluções mais adequadas a segurança do usuário.

In this context, this thesis main goal is to propose a conceptual model for the identification and qualification of risk within residential architecture that uses solar energy technologies based on systemography. It\'s an investigative and experimental research, considering aspects related to: meet the demands of safety in use, the knowledge construction and how those could be managed. The experimental development was carried out during the process of design, production, assembly, use and operation of a prototype named Ekó House. The applied method has encompassed four stages: 1) Exploratory - bibliographic research about technologies, codes, rules and design practices; 2) Definitions - the choice of the theoretical basis to ground the model; 3) Development - propositions and experiments and 4) Proofing and consolidation. In order to verify the model it was carried out a test wherewith is possible to perform a validation by analytical generalization, that is, expand and generalize the theory. The proposed model, which represents an innovation in sistemography field, was based on LE MOIGNES\'s Systemic Theory. This Theory enabled the implementation in complex systems, using information, decision and operating processors which condition the design systemic integration. The results obtained by the research show that the model: a) incorporates knowledge, thus, being helpful along the decision-making process; b) eases the understanding and the overview of the diverse information needed by the design; c) formalizes a logic of design conception and development; d) xvii organizes and prioritizes the design technical recommendations [rules and manufacturers]; e) is able to promote an interference in the system\'s organization and coordination in space and also in its relation to functionality and aesthetics; it also f) guides the use of more suitable configurations to the design development. The model presents itself as a tool that is capable of reducing misuse of standards, conflicts between building systems, Technologies and architecture, as well as design failures that compromise safety in use.

Este trabalho é resultado das investigações sobre as práticas de projetar e de construir predominantes no cenário atual da construção civil brasileira e discute as perspectivas de evolução tecnológica do setor, através da racionalização do processo construtivo tradicional de edifícios. A partir do resgate e sistematização das informações acerca da evolução tecnológica das alvenarias de vedação, propõe a adoção de projetos voltados à sua produção racionalizada como estratégia para a otimização dos recursos materiais, humanos e energéticos investidos, além da minimização dos impactos ambientais negativos decorrentes das atividades produtivas da construção civil. Além de propor as diretrizes para o projeto de alvenarias de vedação, sugere a composição de um “banco de tecnologia construtiva" visando a sistematização e divulgação, para o meio técnico, de alternativas construtivas que contribuam para o aprimoramento do conteúdo dos projetos e ampliação de seu potencial como instrumento regulador da qualidade final do edifício. / This work is the result of the investigation on the most usual practices of architectural project and building techniques in the present scene of Brazilian civil construction. It discusses the perspectives of technological evolution for the sector, through the rationalization of traditional building processes. From rescuing and systematizing information concerned to technological evolution of non structural walls, it discusses the adoption of projects directed to its rationalized production as a strategy towards the optimization of material, human and energy resources invested, as well as the diminution of the negative environmental impacts resultant from productive activities of civil construction. Besides proposing guidelines for the project of non structural walls, it suggests creation of a "constructive technology database" aiming at the systematization and popularization, among technical practitioners, of constructive alternatives that would contribute for the qualitative improvement of projects as well as the magnifying of its potential as a regulating instrument of the final quality of the building.

Les services Web proposent un paradigme intéressant pour la publication, la découverte et la consommation de services. Ce sont des applications faiblement couplées qui peuvent être exécutées seules ou être composées pour créer de nouveaux services à valeur ajoutée. Ils peuvent être consommés comme des services individuels qui fournissent une interface unique qui reçoit des inputs et retourne des outputs (cas 1), ou bien ils peuvent être consommés en tant que composants à intégrer dans des procédés métier (cas 2). Nous appelons le premier cas de consommation « utilisation individuelle » et le second cas de consommation « utilisation en procédé métier ». La nécessité d'avoir des outils dédiés pour aider les consommateurs dans les deux cas de consommation a impliqué de nombreux travaux de recherche dans les milieux académiques ou industriels. D'une part, beaucoup de portails et de moteurs de recherche de services ont été développés pour aider les utilisateurs à rechercher et invoquer les services Web pour une utilisation individuelle. Cependant, les approches actuelles prennent principalement en compte les connaissances explicites présentées par les descriptions de service. Ils font des recommandations sans tenir compte des données qui reflètent l'intérêt des utilisateurs et peuvent demander des informations supplémentaires aux utilisateurs. D'autre part, plusieurs techniques et mécanismes associées aux procédés métier ont été élaborés pour rechercher des modèles de procédé métiers similaires, ou utiliser des modèles de référence. Ces mécanismes sont utilisés pour assister les analystes métiers à la conception de procédés métiers. Cependant, ils sont lents, source d'erreurs, grands consommateurs de ressources humaines, et peuvent induire à l’erreur les analystes métier. Dans notre travail, nous cherchons à faciliter la consommation de services Web pour une utilisation individuelle ou en procédé métier en proposant des techniques de recommandation. Notre objectif est de recommander aux utilisateurs des services qui sont proches de leur intérêt et de recommander aux analystes métier des services qui sont pertinents pour un procédé métier en cours de conception. Pour recommander des services pour une utilisation individuelle, nous prenons en compte l’historique des données d'utilisation de l'utilisateur qui reflètent ses intérêts. Nous appliquons des techniques de filtrage collaboratif bien connues pour faire des recommandations. Nous avons proposé cinq algorithmes et développé une application Web qui permet aux utilisateurs d'utiliser des services recommandés. Pour recommander des services pour une utilisation en procédé métier, nous prenons en compte les relations entre les services du procédé métier. Nous proposons de recommander les services en fonction de leurs localisations dans le procédé métier. Nous avons définit le contexte de voisinage d'un service. Nous avons présenté des recommandations basées sur l'appariement de contexte de voisinage. Par ailleurs, nous avons développé un langage de requête pour permettre aux analystes métier d'exprimer formellement des contraintes de filtrage. Nous avons proposé également une approche pour extraire le contexte de voisinage à partir de traces d’exécution de procédés métier. Enfin, nous avons développé trois applications afin de valider notre approche. Nous avons effectué des expérimentations sur des données recueillies par nos applications et sur deux grands ensembles de données publiques. Les résultats expérimentaux montrent que notre approche est faisable, précise et performante dans des cas d'utilisation réels / Web services have been developed as an attractive paradigm for publishing, discovering and consuming services. They are loosely-coupled applications that can be run alone or be composed to create new value-added services. They can be consumed as individual services which provide a unique interface to receive inputs and return outputs; or they can be consumed as components to be integrated into business processes. We call the first consumption case individual use and the second case business process use. The requirement of specific tools to assist consumers in the two service consumption cases involves many researches in both academics and industry. On the one hand, many service portals and service crawlers have been developed as specific tools to assist users to search and invoke Web services for individual use. However, current approaches take mainly into account explicit knowledge presented by service descriptions. They make recommendations without considering data that reflect user interest and may require additional information from users. On the other hand, some business process mechanisms to search for similar business process models or to use reference models have been developed. These mechanisms are used to assist process analysts to facilitate business process design. However, they are labor-intense, error-prone, time-consuming, and may make business analyst confused. In our work, we aim at facilitating the service consumption for individual use and business process use using recommendation techniques. We target to recommend users services that are close to their interest and to recommend business analysts services that are relevant to an ongoing designed business process. To recommend services for individual use, we take into account the user's usage data which reflect the user's interest. We apply well-known collaborative filtering techniques which are developed for making recommendations. We propose five algorithms and develop a web-based application that allows users to use services. To recommend services for business process use, we take into account the relations between services in business processes. We target to recommend relevant services to selected positions in a business process. We define the neighborhood context of a service. We make recommendations based on the neighborhood context matching. Besides, we develop a query language to allow business analysts to formally express constraints to filter services. We also propose an approach to extract the service's neighborhood context from business process logs. Finally, we develop three applications to validate our approach. We perform experiments on the data collected by our applications and on two large public datasets. Experimental results show that our approach is feasible, accurate and has good performance in real use-cases

Product tolerancing decisions made in product design have a significant effect on manufacturing environmental and cost performances by strongly influencing both the selection and operation of processing machinery. These decisions however are typically made without quantitative knowledge of their effects in manufacturing. With estimates of environmental and cost performances of manufacturing processes required to achieve specific part designs earlier in the product design cycle, designers may make more informed, and potentially better, design decisions with respect to manufacturing environmental and cost performance goals. In this thesis a method for quantifiably relating product tolerancing decisions to environmental and cost performances in manufacturing in order to provide decision support for cost and environmentally conscious design for manufacturing is developed. The method is instantiated as an Excel-based tool and exercised by two illustrative examples of increasing complexity, as well as a study of the manufacture of automotive transmission pinion gears with differing tolerance requirements. Uncertainty analysis is performed through the use of @RISK software; the uncertainty of parameters associated with manufacturing operations and machinery is captured through the use of probability density functions and Monte Carlo simulation is performed. Simulation results provide insight into the uncertainty of performance estimates and the risks associated with ensuing decision making. This method may be useful to product designers, as well as process planners, to support decision making efforts related to cost and environmental consciousness in the manufacturing phase of the product life cycle.

The rapid disposal of products has detrimental effects on environment which is increasing resource consumption for the production of new products, along with the waste production. Therefore, designing long lasting products has great importance for achieving sustainable consumption and production. The present study analyzes the implications of an approach called post-use design thinking for achieving sustainable consumption and production through product longevity. To explore that approach, two educational industrial design projects are analyzed throughout the study. The results suggest that post-use design thinking should be considered at the early stages of the design process. The idea generation exercises developed specifically for this design thinking seem to be helpful in generating design solutions for post-use phase. The results also indicate that the post-use design thinking is feasible in terms of design and production for glass packaging products, which is the specific case analyzed throughout the research.

Der Einsatz von digitalen Menschmodellen erlaubt neben einer frühzeitigen ergonomischen Analyse die Gestaltung von Arbeitsprozessen und stellt ein hilfreiches Werkzeug in der Produkt- und Prozessgestaltung dar. Im Rahmen dieses Beitrages soll auf ausgewählte Schwerpunkte der Entwicklung des digitalen Menschmodells „The Smart Virtual Worker“ eingegangen werden. Das Forschungsprojekt soll einen Beitrag zur Lösung, der mit dem demografischen Wandel der Gesellschaft einhergehenden Herausforderungen leisten. Die daraus resultierenden Forschungsschwerpunkte liegen insbesondere in der Einbeziehung von Alterungs- und psychischen Faktoren in die Bewegungsgenerierung des Menschmodells und der Modellierung von Umweltbedingungen. In Umsetzung des Projektes wurde ein erstes Arbeitsszenario erarbeitet, auf dessen Basis die vorgenannten Forschungsaufgaben interdisziplinär gelöst werden sollen.

La triade de Vitruve revisitée à travers l’exemple de l’architecture d’Hervé Tordjman. La place de l’art et de la technique dans le processus de conception. Aujourd’hui, la conception de l’architecture demeure comme à son origine, dépendante de l’interaction des trois qualités indissociables de Vitruve : firmitas, utilitas et venustas, considérées autrefois indispensables à l’acte de concevoir. L’incarnation de cette triade dans le processus créatif des concepteurs contemporains que nous avons étudiés dans le cadre de cette thèse, qu’ils soient architectes-ingénieurs-artistes, architectes-artistes ou architectes-ingénieurs, est assujettie d’une part, aux mécanismes cognitifs : le modèle et la pensée analogique ; et d’autre part aux compétences et postures de chacun.Toutefois, en dépit de ce caractère personnel du processus conceptuel, ces trois qualités qui jadis devaient être articulées par une seule personne (l’architecte), se trouvent aujourd’hui menées à l’unisson selon un processus collectif.En effet, grâce aux nouvelles technologies numériques actuelles, l’architecte et les ingénieurs sont mobilisés dans un processus dit collaboratif abolissant ainsi les frontières entre « parti » architectural et « idée constructive », architecture et construction. A travers l’analyse de l’œuvre de l’architecte parisien Hervé Tordjman (1975), il faut souligner l’importance qu’acquiert la « firmitas » dans le processus de création en s’intégrant harmonieusement avec les autres composantes (utilitas et venustas). Ainsi, le point de vue de l’auteur et de chaque acteur de la chaine de conception devient partie intégrante dans le processus. Une telle articulation collective de la trinité vitruvienne dans la pratique contemporaine du projet marque une évolution dans la façon de concevoir l’acte architectural et non une rupture. / Vitruvian triad revisited through the example of the architecture of Hervé Tordjman. The place of art and technique in the design process. Today, the design of architecture remains as to its origin, dependent on the interaction of three inseparable qualities stated by Vitruvius: firmitas, utilitas and venustas, once considered essential to the act of conceiving. The embodiment of this triad in the creative process of contemporary designers that is the concern of this thesis, both artists-architects-engineers, architects or artists-architects-engineers, is subject on the one hand, to cognitive mechanisms: the model and analogical thinking; and secondly to individual skills and postures.However, despite this personal character of the design process, these three qualities which once had to be articulated by one person (i.e. the architect), are now conducted in unison as a collective process.Indeed, thanks to new existing digital technologies, the architect and engineers are mobilized in a process said collaborative that abolishes the boundaries between the architectural part and the constructive system that is architecture and construction. Through the analysis of the work of the Parisian architect Hervé Tordjman (1975), we must emphasize the importance acquired by the "firmitas" in the creation process by being harmoniously integrated with other components (utilitas and venustas). Thus, the author’s view as well as that of each player in the design chain becomes part in the process. Such a collective articulation of the Vitruvian trinity in the contemporary practice project marks an evolution in how to design the architectural act, not a rupture.

La distillation réactive est un exemple emblématique de l’intensification de procédés. Cependant, le couplage réaction/séparation génère des complexités importantes en termes de dynamique, de contrôle et de supervision qui constituent une barrière pour leur mise en œuvre industrielle. Ces aspects doivent être considérés dès la phase de conception sous peine de concevoir une colonne difficilement contrôlable. Une méthodologie existante est étendue afin d’y intégrer les aspects de contrôlabilité et de diagnosticabilité. L’étape de conception étudie les courbes de résidu et extractives réactives, identifie les paramètres opérationnels et propose des configurations de colonne respectant les spécifications. La meilleure configuration est choisie sur des critères de contrôlabilité par l’analyse de différents indicateurs quantitatifs et qualitatifs identifiés à l’aide de simulations en régime permanent et dynamique. La méthodologie est appliquée à la production industrielle d’acétate d’éthyle. Deux campagnes expérimentales ont permis de fiabiliser le modèle de simulation de la colonne. La méthodologie permet d’identifier les sensibilités et montre que il est possible d’agir sur les trois degrés de liberté de la colonne double alimentation pour atteindre les spécifications industrielles ; les variables contrôlées sont sélectionnées dans des sections spécifiques, similaires pour différentes configurations de colonne. Concernant le diagnostic, l’utilisation de capteurs de composition semble la plus pertinente mais la complexité de leur utilisation industrielle (cout) peut être contournée par la sélection d’un nombre plus important de capteurs de température judicieusement positionnés. Les résultats de contrôlabilité et de diagnosticabilité sont en cohérence et bien intégrés dans la conception des colonnes réactives. / Reactive distillation involves complexities on process dynamics, control and supervision. This work proposes a methodology integrating controllability and diagnosability as from conceptual design. The choice of the most appropriate feasible configuration is conducted though an indices-based method, regarding steady-state and dynamic simulations, for the ethyl acetate production. Experimental campaigns were performed to acquire reliable models. The methodology highlights the process sensitivities and shows that three degrees of freedom of the double-feed column can be manipulated to ensure the industrial specifications; the controlled variables are selected at similar specific locations for all column configurations. Concerning diagnosis, the use of composition sensors seems to be the most appropriate solution, but the same performances can be reached with more temperature sensors judiciously placed.
