In this paper, Innovation on technological point of view will be explored. Some tracks for helping for innovative aspects as well as the role of PSE and CAPE methodologies will be analyzed. Some new directions will be proposed as well as some examples of success will be enlighted.

This paper presents an overview about a Brazilian research towards requirements engineering process for embedded systems. The scientific contributions reported throughout the paper are concerned to templates, guidelines and tools developed during the last four years. These artifacts can help to narrow the existing gap between hardware and software embedded system teams. We brifely describe two ...

Industrial society is increasingly recognizing the need for shifting to more sustainable activities. Business leaders have begun to realize that such changes are not only essential to prevent adverse social and environmental impacts, but also to assure the long term survival and success of their enterprises (Holliday, 1999). Sustainable practices can benefit a business directly by increasing it...

Recent models of working memory suggest that two systems are involved in verbal working memory: one is dedicated to the maintenance of phonological representations through verbal rehearsal, while the other would maintain multimodal representations through attentional refreshing (Camos et al., 2009; Baddeley, 2012). Previous studies provided evidence on the existence of these two maintenance sys...

The intensification of agricultural systems has increased the food production efficiency, increasing productivity while costs are reduced. Although these factors key to global security in a context continued human population growth, use intensive techniques results different environmental issues. Mitigating negative impacts is requirement for adopting sustainable systems. Notably, nutrient poll...

There is currently little understanding of bariatric patients’ experiences and expectations the pre-surgery evaluation (PSE) process. This especially true for patients within National Health Service (NHS) in UK. Consequently, this study undertakes a qualitative to explore PSE amongst who had undergone surgery NHS UK, using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Three inter-related superordin...

In this paper we present a paradigm for simulating complex systems. Such systems, typically found in Scientiic and Engineering domains (simulating an engine, designing an airplane wing), involve multiple physical phenomena with complicated geometry. The computational techniques we propose use cooperating agents. Our focus in this paper will be on phenomenon modeled by PDEs, although much of the...

The aim of our study was to test the hypothesis that two systems are involved in verbal working memory; one is specifically dedicated to the maintenance of phonological representations through verbal rehearsal while the other would maintain multimodal representations through attentional refreshing. This theoretical framework predicts that phonologically related phenomena such as the phonologica...
