For centuries the architect was the master builder; the one who was responsible for both the design and the construction of a project with sufficient construction expertise to oversee the project from inception to completion. Eventually, complexity of projects required a higher level of specialization leading to the separation of the designer and the builder. Since that separation, the role of the designer, or architect, has continued to shift and evolve. In recent history, the architect has been the one selected by a building owner, at the inception of the project, as the professional who is able to assist and represent the owner throughout the duration of the project. Today however, the role of the architect is once again shifting and leading the architect in a different direction. Building owners are beginning to approach the builder through a design-build or construction manager delivery method first and relying upon them for the overall project and construction expertise instead of the architect. The architect will continue to carry the responsibility of creating the building's design and producing the construction documents. It is very unlikely that this role will change. Any of its other construction related roles, however, are being assumed by the build team. If the architect remains on its current path, it will continue to become more specialized with design and production and carry less responsibility. While the exact role of the architect of today is unclear and heading in a negative direction, the entire construction process continues to evolve and provide new opportunities. The successful architect to come is going to be the one who looks at ways to reclaim its lost responsibilities, explore new alternative services, and promote a higher level of collaboration with the build team.

My thesis deals with the Multicast transfer in IP networks and it describes distribution technology of packets with special focus on Multicast technology. The thesis is devoted to the principles of Multicast including the description of scheme, protocol Multicast distribution, registration in the Multicast groups and finally the advantages and disadvantages of the Multicast transfer. Further in the thesis is described in details the Source Specific Multicast technology (SSM) that comes from multicast. There is a description how this technology Works and its implementation in the network equipment including the user side. This part of the thesis also deals with so called Distribution Trees that are used as multicast distribution via the IP networks like for example Internet. Based on the knowledge of the Multicast was created the network to spread the multimedia data with support of Multicast and SSM. The network is designed based on the Cisco system equipment as is: Cisco Content Engine 566, Cisco IP/TV broadcast server and router 1812. This multimedia network provides many services including the live TV broadcast and video channels. In this network using the multicast distribution of packets was done an analysis by protocol analyzer unit WIreshark and Finisar. This protocol analyzer unit allows us to compare the efficiency of multimedia data transfer between the Unicast, Multicast and SSM.

Diante desse contexto, a prática de gestão educacional dos cursos de graduação, na figura do coordenador, configura-se como um dos elementos relevantes nos processos de gestão, para a garantia da excelência acadêmica e sustentabilidade das instituições educacionais de ensino superior no Brasil. A fim de melhorar o processo de tomada de decisão dos coordenadores de curso de graduação e contribuir para a qualidade e sustentabilidade dos cursos de graduação, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo geral propor um Sistema de Informações Gerenciais (SIG), com base em dados internos e externos. A pesquisa busca responder à seguinte questão: na gestão de cursos de graduação em IES privadas, quais informações são relevantes para os coordenadores de cursos, considerando o binômio qualidade e sustentabilidade? A instituição utilizada como campo empírico foi a Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos, universidade jesuíta e comunitária no sul do país. O método utilizado para esta pesquisa foi o estudo de caso, com abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa, utilizando-se como instrumentos para a coleta de dados entrevistas com gerentes da Unidade de Graduação e a aplicação de um questionário online aos coordenadores de curso. Para a análise dos dados, foi utilizada a técnica da análise descritiva. O resultado final deste projeto evidencia a dificuldade e o esforço dos coordenadores para a busca e acesso às informações necessárias para suas atividades de gestão. Além disso, foi possível classificar diversos tipos de informação quanto à sua importância e acessibilidade para os coordenadores de curso visando à composição de um sistema de informações gerenciais. Outrossim, foi possível demostrar, através de um protótipo, a simulação do sistema com base na arquitetura de TI proposta para este projeto. / Brazilian Education has had a new configuration due to the expansion of the private educational sector since the 1990’s. In this context, educational management of the undergraduate courses, through the figure of the coordinator, has been a key element in the management process as it guarantees academic excellence and sustainability of Brazil’s higher education institutions. In order to enhance the process of decision taking among the coordinators of undergraduate programs and also to contribute to the quality and sustainability of those courses, this research has the general aim of proposing a System of Managerial Information (SIG, for short in Portuguese), based on both internal and external data. The research seeks to answer the following question: in the management of the undergraduate courses of Higher Education Institutions, what pieces of information are relevant to the courses managers when quality and sustainability are taken into consideration? The institution that has been empirically used was Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos, a jesuit and community university in Southern Brazil. A case study has been carried out as the method for this research, with both a quantitative and qualitative approach. As instruments for the data collection, we have used interviews with managers of the Undergraduation Department as well as an online questionnaire to courses managers. For the data analysis, the technique of descriptive analysis has been used. The final result of this project lets show the difficulty and effort of coordinators and managers to search and access information which is necessary for their managerial activities. Furthermore, it was possible to classify several types of information regarding its importance and accessibility for college managers aiming at the development of a system of managerial information for undergraduate programs managers. It has also been possible, by means of a prototype, the simulation of the system based on the IT architecture that was proposed for this project.

This diploma thesis deals with the topic of program management in global organizations. The main objective is to create a basic overview of information about the program management in global organizations. The work deals with introduction to the program management, specifics of global organizations, and critical areas of program management in the global organisations and describes particular case of program management in the concrete global organisation. The work provides general recommendations for program management in global organizations.
