As recentes tecnologias de desenvolvimento e distribuição de componentes possibilitaram o aumento do número de componentes disponíveis no mercado. No entanto, eles muitas vezes estão dispersos e não publicados adequadamente para a comunidade de pesquisa e desenvolvimento de software. Encontrar componentes apropriados para solucionar um problema particular não é uma tarefa simples e novas técnicas devem ser desenvolvidas para o reuso efetivo de componentes. Um dos maiores desafios em reusar componentes consiste em classificá-los corretamente para futuras consultas. Classificar componentes para possibilitar uma busca eficaz depende da qualidade das informações adquiridas, que viabilizam melhor precisão e cobertura das consultas ao encontrar componentes reutilizáveis em potencial. Ao mesmo tempo, mecanismos de classificação e busca devem ser fáceis o suficiente para convencer os desenvolvedores a reusar componentes. Este trabalho estuda as técnicas de classificação de componentes de software, repositórios e métodos de busca. é apresentada uma proposta de modelo de classificação de componentes que considera não apenas sua função, mas o negócio onde ele está inserido e seus atributos de qualidade. Um método de preenchimento semi-automático das informações é proposto, de modo a diminuir os custos de classificação. O protótipo REUSE+ foi construído para exemplificar o uso do modelo e do método de classificação semi-automática, de forma a validar a proposta, destacando, por fim, as principais contribuições do trabalho. / The recent developments on components technologies have increased the number of components available to the market. These components are, however, distributed overall the world and not properly advertised to the research and development communities. Finding the appropriate components to solve a particular problem is not very straightforward and new techniques must be developed to effectively reuse components. One of the great challenges in reusing components is concerned with how to actually classify components \"properly\" in order to further retrieve them. Classifying components for effective retrieval depends on acquiring the appropriate information in classification to improve the precision and recall rates in retrieval; finding only the potentially reusable components and not missing potential solutions. At the same time, the classification and retrieval mechanisms must be easy enough to persuade developers to reuse components. This work studies the classification techniques of software components, repository and retrieval methods. Hereafter is presented a proposal of components classification model that considers not just its function, but business and quality attributes. It is proposed a semi-automatic classification mechanism of software information, allowing a cheaper classification. REUSE+ prototype was built to exemplify the use of model and method of semi-automatic classification, allowing the described proposal validation, highlighting at the end the mainly contributions of the work.

A Engenharia de Software Baseada em Componentes (ESBC) envolve os processos de desenvolvimento de software a partir de partes embutidas prontas, a fim de se obter produtividade, reduzindo-se custos e tempo de lançamento no mercado, garantindo (e melhorando) a qualidade intrínseca de produtos de software, bem como flexibilidade de implementação, manutenção e integração de sistemas. O ciclo de vida de um componente de software, projetado para uma determinada arquitetura, para ser reutilizado e reciclado dentro de uma infra-estrutura de componentes, e para satisfazer atributos de qualidade, dependerá de um ambiente que permita que seu código evolua de maneira controlada; que suas interfaces sejam publicadas através de documentos; e que seus artefatos estejam sempre acessíveis por partes interessadas, como desenvolvedores, projetistas e arquitetos de software, gerentes de projeto, usuários etc. Isto sugere a organização de um processo que apóie a reutilização de componentes através de um repositório comum, justificando esforços de se projetar, implementar, testar e instalar estes componentes em diferentes soluções. Este trabalho tem a intenção de definir e descrever, através da linguagem e dos elementos de um meta-modelo, e através de uma proposta de implementação de um repositório de componentes, um modelo de processo alinhado a um subconjunto de requisitos estabelecidos pelos padrões ISO/IEC 12207 e ISO/IEC 9126, com o propósito de suporte de componentes a processos de desenvolvimento de software. / Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE)involves the software development from prepared built-in parts processes, in order to achieve productivity, reducing costs and time-tomarket, assuring (and improving) the intrinsic quality of software products, as well as implementation, maintenance and systems integration flexibility. The life cycle of a software component designed for a given architecture to be reused and recycled, within a component infrastructure, and to satisfy quality attributes, will depend on an environment to allow its code to evolve in a controlled manner; its interfaces to be published through documents; and its artifacts to be always accessible from interested parties, like developers, software designers and architects, project managers, users etc. This suggests the organization of a process that supports the reuse of components through a common repository, justifying efforts to design, implement, test and install them in different solutions. This work intends to define and describe, through a meta-model language and elements, and through a component repository implementation proposal, a process model aligned to a subset of requirements established by the ISO/IEC 12207 and the ISO/IEC 9126 standards, with the purpose of development software processes support of components.

A crescente demanda por cursos baseados na World Wide Web (Web) tem imposto uma série de desafios para a área da Tecnologia da Informação e da Comunicação (TIC), em particular quando se considera a Educação apoiada pela Web. Uma das necessidades emergentes da Educação via Web está relacionada com o uso de Objetos de Aprendizagem (OA) dentro de Sistemas Gerenciadores de Curso (SGC). Além de considerar a produção de OA com \"qualidade\", deve-se providenciar seu armazenamento e disseminação de modo eficaz. Entretanto, algumas dificuldades tem sido reportadas por professores envolvidos com cursos pela Web, tais como: o \"custo elevado\" para a autoria do OA; a falta de ferramentas para o compartilhamento desses materiais; e experiências práticas negativas no reúso desses conteúdos em um SGC. Uma primeira proposta para mitigar esses problemas tem sido o desenvolvimento de ferramentas de Repositório de Objetos de Aprendizagem (ROA), visando principalmente facilitar a disseminação dos OA. Apesar do progresso já alcançado, ainda existem várias barreiras para a sua adoção pelos professores, como falta de integração simples entre o SGC e o ROA. Em geral as integrações atuais mostram-se difíceis para um usuário típico. Neste cenário, o objetivo deste projeto é apresentar um ROA inovador, o Repositório Interativo de Conteúdo Digital - iRepositório, cujo modelo prevê uma integração simplificada com um particular SGC e ainda oferece vários recursos para melhorar os processos de ensino e de aprendizagem, como o registro da eficácia educacional do OA. Como contribuição prática os fundamentos do iRepositório foram implementados para um SGC específico, o Moodle. Além de compartilhar OA entre cursos e usuários, ele provê recursos a outro componente do Moodle, o Tarefa Interativa - iTarefa, para armazenamento, classificação e busca de OA ou ainda facilidades para a manipulação dos Módulos de Aprendizagem Interativa (iMA). / The increasing demand for World Wide Web (Web) based courses has imposed some challenges in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) field, in particular when considering the education supported by the Web. One of the emerging needs of education supported by the Web is related to the Learning Objects (LO) usage inside Learning Management Systems (LMS). Besides production of \"good quality\" LO, it must be provided efficient methods concerning their storage and dissemination. However, some difficulties have been reported by teachers of Web based courses: \"expensive costs\" for LO authoring; lack of tools for sharing these materials; and negative practical experiences for reusing them in an LMS. Some proposals to mitigate these problems have been the development of Learning Object Repository (LOR) tools, mainly in order to facilitate the dissemination of LO. Despite the progress already achieved, there are still several barriers for their adoption by teachers such as lack of easy integration between LMS environment and LOR. In general, current integrations are not simple for typical users. In this context, the target of this project is to presents an innovative LOR, the Interactive Repository of Digital Contents - iRepository. Its model provides seamless integration with a particular LMS and offers several resources to help teaching and learning processes, such as registry of LO educational effectiveness. As a practical contribution, the fundamentals of iRepository model were implemented for an specific LMS, the Moodle system. Besides promoting LO sharing among courses and users, it provides resources to other Moodle component, the Interactive Assignment - iAssign, for storage, classification e searching of LO, or even ease management of Interactive Learning Module (iLM).

My thesis will discuss British Romantic period author and philanthropist Hannah More. I aim to portray her from a perspective that demonstrates her compelling and varying nature, that includes religion and rhetoric as persuasive tools met at times with resistance and at other times compliance. Her work called for educational reform on two accounts: firstly, for a system of education for the poor, and secondly, to reeducate middle and upper class women’s philanthropy. I focus on her didactic literature, namely Cheap Repository Tracts, and the prevalence of her Evangelical zeal embedded in the tracts. I draw particular attention to the stories of The Shepherd of Salisbury Plain, Black Giles the Poacher, and Betty Brown, the St. Giles’s Orange Girl. I argue that traditional understandings of didactic narratives as a low form of literature are misleading and that More’s work exemplifies didactic fiction as a form of literature capable of empowering readers and authors alike. Furthermore, I study the social function aspects of Cheap Repository Tracts as they demonstrated a newfound accessibility to a large and varying audience.

½×¤åºK­n (­^) In the IC packaging and testing industry, short lead-time, high yield performance and excellence in quality are the major factors for competition. To achieve these goals, experienced and knowledgeable employees as well as a culture appreciating collaborative problem solving and knowledge sharing are essential. The case company realized and promoted the importance of collaborative problem solving and knowledge sharing. Currently, several collaborative problem solving and knowledge sharing activities can be observed in the case company. Although the case company appreciates and creates the culture of collaborative problem solving and knowledge sharing, several challenges remain to be addressed. ¡P Reuse of lessons learned knowledge (or tacit knowledge for short) seldom takes place. ¡P Retention of Lessons Learned knowledge is lacking. ¡P The availability of lessons learned knowledge is a concern. To address the above-mentioned challenges faced by the case company, the purpose of this research is to develop and implement a knowledge management system. Specifically, an lessons learned knowledge repository will be constructed for capturing, retaining and reusing lessons learned knowledge. The goals of the target knowledge management system include facilitating efficient inter- and intra-departmental knowledge sharing and improving the knowledge availability that, in turn, leading to a productivity improvement. Empirical evaluations on the usability of the proposed system will be conducted and analyzed.

The aim of the current thesis is to analyze, design and to create a model for the internet-based repository of products manufacturing specification and website where products are grouped and filed and also to check its operation and provide with the instructions of the project and the system. Also to create a dynamic advertisement, which woud made user’s attention by his begavior in the IS. IS will not be unambiguously related with one company ir organization. Any company could use this IS. Also it could be installed to any customer, client. For IS flexible characteristics, will be filed any produkts in that IS. Dynamic advertisement purpose – to make atention of user by his behavior in the web site. i.e. the user useing IS, browsing dyrectories, selecting dyrectory įtems, in the web site Bonner should change respectively. Such if user selects medicine, in the web site banner should changes to another Bonner related with medicine. If user browses other directories įtems, banner constantly changes by his behavior in web site. It would be new use in local web site of advertisement model. For the convenience of the user’s the interface is very easy, the search and the review of the products are quick. Consumers with the internet will easily reach the website because that it operates in every operational system which supports Apache Web with PHP and MySQL databases.

Atomic Energy of Canada Limited’s Underground Research Laboratory was built to allow study of concepts for the long-term disposal of Canada’s used nuclear fuel in a deep geological repository. The underground portion of the facility was decommissioned and permanently closed in 2010. Decommissioning included the installation of a seal at the intersection of the access shaft with a hydraulically active fracture zone located at 275 m depth. The objective of the shaft seal is to limit potential groundwater mixing above and below the fracture zone. This project provided a unique opportunity to study the hydro-mechanical evolution of a full-scale shaft seal installed under conditions similar to those in a deep geological repository. This thesis provides an overview of the instrumentation and data logging techniques that have been successfully used to monitor the initial behaviour of the shaft seal in this unique underground environment.
