This paper describes the application of the DisSeNT middleware to implement Wireless Sensor Network based river monitoring. DisSeNT provides LooCI, an efficient run-time reconfigurable component model, PMA, a lightweight policy-based management framework and QARI, a declarative quality-aware deployment framework. Using a river monitoring case-study, this paper analyses how these distinct software...
This article describes a survey conducted to identify correlations between preferences for technical activities and behavioral profiles for work in a team of software engineers. The context of the research was software engineering undergraduate students at State University of Pernambuco, Brazil. The information about preferences and behavior obtained in a field study involving 100 students received...
This article presents the stages of software development based on agents used to achieve the main goal of this article, which is the detection of frauds in municipal taxes. In the stages of analysis and design of the system, the methodology MAS- CommonKADS and the ontology ONTOMADEM were used. A generic user model, obtained from historical data from actions of the users, and inference functions of...
The number of microprocessors and microcontrollers being applied to modern computational systems is growing exponentially. Nevertheless, it is not easy to find engineers with the necessary skills for developing software for such devices. In fact, the creation of official undergraduate courses to fulfill this modern demand proved not to be the best solution. This paper describes an inter-universities...
This article describes a successful education technology transfer between Germany and Brazil applied to the teaching of software engineering for undergraduate students of the electrical engineering course at the Federal University of Amazonas - UFAM. The result of this experience was a significant increase on the interest of the students, i.e. the amount of enrolled students increased reaching numbers...
Brazil aims to achieve international standards on quality and productivity in the software sector. From 1993 onwards there are strategies and projects to reach the Brazilian objective on software quality. Since 1995 there have been nationwide surveys on software quality every 2 years. This paper highlights the main trends on software quality in Brazil based both on the results of four surveys (1995,...
