- ACCEPT: Web Applications for visualization and analytics of shop floor dataPublication . Godinho, Eduardo Miguel Ascenso; Piedade, Maria BeatrizNo contexto atual da Indústria 4.0 e do controlo metrológico de produtos pré-embalados, procura-se que os dados provenientes de chão de fábrica sejam recolhidos de forma automática e que diferentes tipos de dispositivos digitais tenham acesso aos mesmos dados de forma ubíqua. Pretendeu-se desenvolver e integrar aplicações Web no sistema ACCEPT, sistema que permite a recolha, armazenamento, visualização e análise de dados de chão de fábrica. Neste artigo é descrito o processo de desenvolvimento das aplicações ACCEPT Quality Hub e ACCEPT Analytics e a sua integração neste sistema.
- An application of the student relationship management conceptPublication . Piedade, Maria Beatriz; Santos, Maribel Yasmina; Guerra da Piedade, Maria BeatrizIt is largely accepted that a way to promote the students’ success is by implementing processes that allow the students closely monitoring, the evaluation of their success and the approximation to their day-by-day activities. However, the implementation of these processes does not take place in many Higher Education Institutions due to the lack of appropriates institutional practices and an adequate technological infrastructure able to support these practices. In order to overcome these conceptual and technological limitations, this paper presents the Student Relationship Management System (SRM System). The SRM System supports the SRM concept and the SRM practice, also here presented, and it is implemented using the technological infrastructure that supports the Business Intelligence (BI) systems. The SRM system was used in an application case (in a real context) to obtain knowledge about the students and their academic behaviour. Such information is fundamental to support the decision-making associated with the teaching learning process. All the obtained results are also presented and analysed in this paper.
- Business Intelligence in higher education: Enhancing the teaching-learning process with a SRM systemPublication . Piedade, Maria Beatriz; Santos, Maribel YasminaPromoting students success requires the implementation of processes and mechanisms that allows the closely monitoring of the students academic activities. Although essential, the activities involved in this complex process do not take place in many higher education institutions due to the lack of appropriate practices and an adequate technological support that sustain these practices. To overcome this complex problem, a conceptual and a technological infrastructure was proposed and integrated into a Student Relationship Management (SRM) system. The SRM system is associated with Business Intelligence concepts and technologies used to obtain knowledge about the students and to support the decision making process. To validate the SRM system relevance, a set of applications cases were carried out in real contexts and supported by the implemented prototype. This paper presents some of the results obtained through the prototype implementation and on the analysis of the several actions that were carried out under the principles of the SRM practice.
- Governo Eletrónico – Assinatura Digital QualificadaPublication . Rito, Cátia Sofia Gaio; Piedade, Maria Beatriz; Lucas, EugénioNeste artigo é apresentado um caso de estudo relativo à utilização e implementação da Assinatura Digital Qualificada. São analisadas questões como o grau de utilização, segurança e autenticidade da Assinatura Digital Qualificada e à publicação e divulgação de documentos assinados em formato digital. Para suportar o caso de estudo foi adotada uma metodologia que incluiu a realização de entrevistas a municípios que integram a Comunidade Intermunicipal da região de Leiria e foi desenvolvida uma aplicação informática que permitiu analisar os documentos disponibilizados nos websites institucionais dos municípios, verificando os que se encontravam assinados digitalmente. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que os websites institucionais já se encontram a disponibilizar documentação com Assinatura Digital Qualificada e que o nível de confiança e autenticidade quanto à sua utilização é considerado maioritariamente muito bom.
- Hospital center website: Usability, accessibility and mobile optimizationPublication . Santos, Marisa Alexandra Monteiro; Piedade, Maria Beatriz; Távora, Vítor Noronha eIn this article it is presented and described the process of design, development, implementation and validation of the Middle Tagus Hospital Center’s website. It was intended to create a communication and disclosure tool of important and helpful information, it would be to meet the needs of users and health professionals. The website should respond to current technological issues, particularly those relating to the design, accessibility and mobile access. The website evaluation and validation process presented in this article included the development of usability and accessibility tests. The tests results are also presented and discussed. The evaluation and validation process prove the website utility, usability, accessibility and mobile optimization.
- Promoting students success with a business intelligence systemPublication . Piedade, Maria Beatriz; Santos, Maribel YasminaThe promotion of the students' success is usually associated to the closely monitoring of the students' activities. This requires the implementation of mechanisms that, in the scope of the teaching/learning process, allow the students' academic activities monitoring, the students' academic success/failure evaluation and the teacher/tutor approximation to the students' day-by-day academic activities. Although important, the activities involved in these processes do not take place in many higher education institutions, due to the lack of an appropriate support. To sustain these complex processes and activities, a conceptual framework and a technological infrastructure was proposed and integrated in a Student Relationship Management (SRM) System. The SRM System supports the SRM concept and practice and it has been implemented using concepts and technologies associated with the Business Intelligence systems. To validate the SRM System, several application cases were implemented in real contexts. They demonstrated the system relevance in the process of acquisition of knowledge about the students and their academic behaviours. The system supports the decision making process in the teaching/learning scope and facilitates the automatic interaction with the students. The impact of the several undertaken actions are presented and analysed in this paper.
