Quick Abstract

Information Systems Development faces many recurrent issues that must be addressed in every project. A lot of common requirements and features repeatedly appear on different projects challenging the development team. Exchanging solutions and the expertise gained over the evaluation of such solutions among projects can prevent the development teams from reinventing the wheel. The MDArte framework has been used to develop information systems through the Model Driven Architecture approach, automating the generation from models reaching around 80% of the application code. Most important is that the MDArte framework turned out to be a common platform between the adherent projects used to share new solutions and features. This paper focus on recurrent issues present at the modeling phase. We applied the concept of Model Patterns in order to provide diagram templates. A set of diagram templates were designed, implemented and evaluated by a volunteer project. The feedback was extremely positive and the proposed approach proves to be very promising. This level of collaboration between different projects on one hand accelerates the development and on the other hand prevents from neglecting important issues on information systems development.

Quick Abstract

Companies, research centers, and universities are increasingly keeping in contact over time. Especially after Internet, the “Web Era” has contributed to a dynamic market as well as to a critical relation between management and engineering in industry. Thus, research centers can help companies in supporting and improving their activities and processes through innovation partnerships. In Brazil, the Research Center for Energy (CEPEL) is exploring information systems applied to its modernization. In this sense, this paper presents SILAB, a system to manage actions of clients and laboratories during processes of provision test and certification of equipment. SILAB was developed from an experience based on the govern-university partnership. The main focus is to support standards, transparence and productivity in a domain-driven workflow. Some experiences collected from SILAB’s stakeholders are also discussed.

Quick Abstract

Developing and evolving critical information systems in order to cope with changes in regulations and laws is a constant worry for governments in the e-Government era. Due to the frequent challenges and some previous frustrating experiences, the Brazilian Government has searched for an alternative development method that could better fit its needs. At the same time, Brazilian Academia, represented in this case by the Computer Science Department of COPPE/UFRJ, has been researching how to bridge the gaps in order to harness the promise of Model-Driven Architecture in real life projects. A successful partnership between both started in 2005, which gave birth to a complete MDA development environment that would later be known as MDArte. The MDArte framework has been freely available since 2009 through the SPB portal (Brazilian Public Software Portal – www.softwarepublico.gov.br) and throughout its construction and evolution more than a dozen real projects have been built and maintained. During the development of such real life projects a lot of critical organizational aspects raised. The main contribution of this paper is to reveal and motivate the discussion on such organizational aspects that must be faced when deciding to adopt an MDA approach. In order to contextualize our perceptions, we present the MDArte experience, including its origin, evolution and current state. The major challenging and complex systems that have been developed with MDArte are presented as success cases along with an analysis of the benefits of using a Model Driven Development (MDD) approach.

Quick Abstract

Typically, governments deal with huge masses of data generated by a variety of agencies at different hierarchical levels. Generally, this information is organized into different data sources resulting from legacy and heterogeneous systems. This lack of integration leads to management difficulties, since without a set of consolidated information; decisions are made lacking the proper grounding. Therefore, this work presents two initiatives of integrating data, based on service oriented architecture, from heterogeneous sources in the Brazilian Government aiming at better management and information usage.

Quick Abstract

This work presents the approach used to select documents from the Brazilian Official Gazette for Federal Treasury domain and manage the explicit knowledge through a thesaurus according to ISO Standard 2788. The goal of the SIOP-LEGIS project joint with Department of Treasury is to facilitate search and retrieval of documents semantic related through hierarquic terms defined in the Thesaurus. The paper also presents a brief case study to demonstrate how the ontology domain evolution ocurrs in accordance with the legislation, case law and administrative acts in constant changes.

Quick Abstract

Risks are inevitably and permanently present in software negotiations and they can directly influence the success or failure of negotiations. Risks should be avoided when they represent a threat and encouraged when they denote an opportunity. This work examines the influence of some negotiation elements in the area of risk and cost estimation, which are both factors that directly influence software development negotiation. In this work, risk quantification is proposed to translate its impact to measurable values that may be taken into consideration during negotiations. The model proposed involves an assessment tool based on basic negotiation elements – namely relationship, interests, cost and time – quantifying the influences among each other, and makes use of Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs) for developing the associations around basic risk elements on one hand and attaining an innovative risk quantification model for improved software negotiations on the other. Indicative scenarios are presented to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed approach.

Quick Abstract

It has been claimed that there are different methods for solving conflict; however, the main one is to solve conflicts through negotiations. This paper addresses one of the Negotiation Support Systems developed, namely NK-Sys and a workflow approach titled W-Neg. Negotiators often attempt to resolve their conflict through the use of intrinsic activities and their own skills. In W-Neg, we suggest a set of workflow models to tackle issues that may be conflicting during the negotiation table. As any decision-making process, negotiations arise from some well known steps. Therefore, the management of activities realized from these steps can be considered an alternative to improve negotiator’s preparation. In this proposal, workflow’s technology is aligned with this alternative once the main goal of workflow systems is to provide better business processes management.

Quick Abstract

In organizations, decision-making processes usually require great effort in solving conflicts. These disagreements are generally time-consuming and jeopardize negotiations. Thus, negotiation planning is the key factor to balance negotiator’s expectations and reach an agreement. In this scenario, risk management tools play an important role in identifying possibly controversial points of view. This paper aims at presenting software which supports negotiation through risk assessment. The proposed software, named RisNeg presents mechanisms which are able to identify, analyze, respond to, monitor, and control negotiation risks. RisNeg also provides mechanisms to indicate the chances of achieving agreement. Therefore, the use of such software may minimize the conflicts in the decision-making process.

Quick Abstract

This paper presents an IT Governance Framework and a Competency Model that are being developed to identify the intellectual capital and the strategic actions needed to implement an efficient IT Governance program in the Brazilian Government. This work in progress is driven by the premise that the human assets of an organization should adhere to a set of core competencies in order to correctly prioritize and achieve business results that, regarding government issues, relates to public resources administration. It is now widely accepted that IT Governance may help the organization to succeed in its business domain; consequently, through effective investment policies and correct IT decisions the organization can align business needs with IT resources, achieving highly integrated business services.
