    Evaluation categorizes, technologies decision for a Composite Environmental Performance Indicators (LWC-EPI) solution Naoum Jamous1, Frederik Kramer1, Gamal Kassem1 Abstract Rapid environmental changes have necessitated a closer and more critical review of current environmental policies. In light of a myopic tendency to focus on short- to medium-term objectives within organizations, environmental is- sues are usually not given full attention. In this regard, recommendation- or dashboard-like systems are useful to in- crease the awareness of management as to the impact of their decisions on the environment on a more frequent and cost-effective basis. However, the role of current environmental management information systems (EMIS) in provid- ing organizations with the information enabling them to assess the current impact of their processes and operations on the environment has been given more prominence. Information technology is changing business in ever shortening cycles. Especially with the success of the Java plat- form, the standardization through the i386 hardware platform and last but not least the rivalry introduced by the Free, Libre and Open Source Software (F/LOSS) paradigm a sheer inconceivable amount of programming languages, inte- grated development environments, design patterns and programming frameworks have been disseminated. In this paper, we will start with a state of the art of the available tools support providing dashboard-type solutions to control and monitor the EPI’s in an organization, which may lead to reduce the gap between estimated values and current running values for environment on a more frequent basis than a mere yearly review. Furthermore, we will propose an evaluation categorizes to be used as a methodology to take the technologies decisions.

  • A Competence Management System Towards Increased Corporate Success
    FACULDADE DE ENGENHARIA DA UNIVERSIDADE DO PORTO A Competence Management System towards Increased Corporate Success Ana Gabriela Teixeira Soares FINAL VERSION Report of Dissertation Master in Informatics and Computing Engineering Supervisor: Teresa Galvão Dias (PhD) 7th April 2010 A Competence Management System towards Increased Corporate Success Ana Gabriela Teixeira Soares Report of Dissertation Master in Informatics and Computing Engineering Approved in oral examination by the committee: Chair: Luís Paulo Reis (PhD) ____________________________________________________ External Examiner: Paulo Novais (PhD) Internal Examiner: Teresa Galvão Dias (PhD) 7th April, 2010 Abstract In an organization, the careful management of intellectual capital is crucial for the nourishment of a sustained competitive advantage, hardly replicable by its competitors. Particularly, a Competence Management (CM) strategy transversal to the different corporate business units is of pivotal importance, as all knowledge domains are considered. The main goal of this project – called iKnow - is to identify the requirements for the design of an effective Competence Management System (CMS) and to implement a working prototype. In particular, a study of CM concepts and key issues is intended as well as a state-of-the-art review of CMSs and main features. Additionally, the project contemplates the proposal and prototype deployment of a CMS for Critical Manufacturing (CMF), applying the acknowledged CM concepts to this corporate instance. Created in 2009, CMF is an organization devoted to the delivery of avant-garde solutions for the high-tech manufacturing market, aiming at becoming the prime provider for that niche. In particular, its Services Unit is involved in multiple projects, whose engineers are constantly exposed to new technologies.

(Chapter 1668, Legislative Session 1951, Chapter I, Section 1.1) The characteristics of Los Angeles as one of the great cities of the United States are different from those of any other city in the combination of its extent of area, the low density of its population, the high degree of automobile ownership and the lack of any system of surface-free mass rapid transit. SECOND: The monorail rapid transit route as proposed in this report and located within the area described in the act creating the Authority would, if adopted, be a proper beginning of mass rapid transit throughout Los Angeles County. THIRD: Monorail as an interurban railroad, rather than an urban distribution facil- ity, can be integrated appropriately with any future plan of rapid transit that may be adopted for the metropolitan area of Los Angeles County.

Diego Alejandro Carrera Gallego. 3 RESUMEN El proyecto de tesis tiene como objetivo la creación de una plataforma de código libre que permita construir una red social y añadir características sociales y herramientas que integren videoconferencias como mecanismos de comunicación entre los actores. Existen estudios reconocidos (1) que nos pueden indicar una necesidad de investigación sobre los campos de las redes sociales. Esta demanda de conocimiento impulsa a la explotación de diferentes nichos de redes sociales y su integración con otros medios de comunicación que permitan responder a nuevas oportunidades de negocio de forma ágil. Recientemente las redes sociales más grandes a nivel mundial, de código propietario, como Google+ o Facebook, han integrado la videoconferencia como mecanismo de comunicación de los integrantes de la red. Sin embargo al ser privados, no se pueden realizar investigaciones sobre el comportamiento de las redes y sus componentes en cualquier nivel de complejidad.
