Gift Young Engineers: An Extra-Curricular Initiative for Updating Computer and Electrical Engineering Courses
No full textThe curricula of engineering courses are well defined by the central government for all Brazilian universities. Indeed, there are some mandatory determinations that must be fulfilled prior to the accreditation of any engineering course in Brazil. Modifications must be submitted for evaluation beforehand, resulting in a process that sometimes takes years to be approved. That is a secure way to guarantee that the fundamentals of each engineering program will be part of the students’ carrier all over the country, and at the same time a problem when you need to introduce new technological subjects. That poses a problem when you have new demands for technological curricular components that could express the actual state of the art of modern subjects. Trying to solve these issues some professors from the Federal University of Amazonas developed a flexible extra-curricular program for electrical and computer engineering courses, named Gift Young Engineers. This paper describes the philosophy of these extra-curricular programs. Some examples of successful particular partnerships are also discussed. Indeed the proposed training programs for Digital TV Systems (hardware and software) will be presented and analyzed in details. The obtained results will also be discussed in order to contribute to similar experiences worldwide

Towards A Semiformal Development Methodology for Embedded Systems
No full textIn recent days, the amount of functions has increased significantly in embedded products so that systems development methodologies play an important role to ensure the product’s quality, cost, and time. Furthermore, this complexity coupled with constantly evolving specifications, has led to propose a semiformal development methodology to support the building of embedded real-time systems. A platform-based design approach has been used to balance costs and time-to-market in relation to performance and functionality constraints. We performed three expressive case studies and we concluded that the proposed methodology significantly reduces design time and improves software modularity and reliability
O bem viver em Recife: uma abordagem do cotidiano de moradores do Casarão do Cordeiro
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação Interdisciplinar em Ciências Humanas, Florianópolis, 2014.Esta tese discute, à luz da teoria do Bem Viver, sobre residentes do Conjunto Habitacional Casarão do Cordeiro, localizado no Bairro do Cordeiro, em Recife, Pernambuco, a partir do cotidiano dos moradores, das relações de identidade com o lugar e das lembranças da antiga morada nas palafitas de Brasília Teimosa, bairro situado na zona Sul de Recife, e que durante muitos anos foi palco de um cenário de degradação social e de risco para as pessoas que ali habitavam. Através da História Oral, busco identificar, desde os depoimentos de moradores que viveram essa realidade, a compreensão de bem viver num novo espaço. O quadro conceitual foi construído pelas discussões sobre: o bem viver, segundo a ideia Aristotélica (2007) de felicidade; o cotidiano, referenciado em Michel de Certeau (1984; 2009); o lugar, à luz das ideias de Christian Norberg-Schulz (2008), Yi-Fu Tuan (1980; 1983), Milton Santos (1994; 2004; 2012); a identidade, seguindo, sobretudo, os ensinamentos de Stuart Hall (1999); e a memória, seguindo as reflexões teórico-filosóficas de Bergson (1999) e Le Goff (1992). Esta tese reflete sobre o pensamento de que a felicidade é sinônima de um viver bem, alcançado pelas relações sociais construídas diariamente.Abstract : This thesis discusses, in light of the theory of Good Living, about residents, living on the Housing Complex ?Casarão do Cordeiro?, located in the suburb of Cordeiro, in the district of Recife, Pernambuco, based on their daily lives, their identity with the place and the memories from their former stilt house in Brasília Teimosa, neighborhood located in the southern area of Recife, which was, for many years, the scenario of social degradation and risk to the people who lived there.Through Oral History I seek to identify, based on the residents? testimonials who have lived this reality, the understanding of good living in a new housing. The conceptual framework draws on discussions about: good living according to the Aristotelian (2007) idea of happiness; everyday life referenced by the ideas of Michel de Certeau (1984; 2009); place, in light of the ideas of Christian Norberg-Schulz (2008), Yi-Fu Tuan (1980; 1983) , Milton Santos (1994; 2004; 2012) ; identity, following, mainly, the teachings of Stuart Hall (1999) ; and discussions on memory in light of Bergson (1999) and Le Goff (1992). This thesis reflects upon the thought that happiness and good life complement each other when achieved by social relations that are daily constructed

A Platform-Based Software Design Methodology for Embedded Control Systems: An Agile Toolkit
No full textA discrete control system, with stringent hardware constraints, is effectively an embedded real-time system and hence requires a rigorous methodology to develop the software involved. The development methodology proposed in this paper adapts agile principles and patterns to support the building of embedded control systems, focusing on the issues relating to a system's constraints and safety. Strong unit testing, to ensure correctness, including the satisfaction of timing constraints, is the foundation of the proposed methodology. A platform-based design approach is used to balance costs and time-to-market in relation to performance and functionality constraints. It is concluded that the proposed methodology significantly reduces design time and costs, as well as leading to better software modularity and reliability
