Around the world, the name Intel is synonymous with personal computers. Since the early 1980s nearly all personal computers, and more recently servers, are designed with a microprocessor based on Intel's x86 architecture. Over the last decade, however, the industry has seen many changes, and current trends send strong signals to Intel that it must continue the evolution of its own internal corporate innovation process-one that has driven Intel's success for many years-or suffer potential negative consequences. The reality is that for almost 40 years, personal computers have remained relatively the same; all had the same open modular architecture originally designed by IBM in the early 1980s. However, the past few years have seen a wave of evolution that includes embedded computing driven by the growth of digital devices like tablets and smartphones. These changes are of major importance to Intel. Instead of using the workhorse standard x86 processor, digital devices today have a chipset optimized for that device's specific application. This hardware change is further complicated by the shift to cloud computing and data centers. Change within the semiconductor industry, and specifically for Intel, is requisite and inevitable. Today, the firm is investing heavily in its future. Part of this investment is an initiative called Open Innovation 2.0, undertaken in Ireland under the umbrella of Intel Labs Europe. This innovation demonstrates Intel's commitment to evolving its corporate innovation processes to meet the needs of today's customers as well as future customers, markets, and industries. It must be said, however, that some technology-based innovation luminaries and academics believe Open Innovation (OI) is nothing new but merely the latest repackaged fad in innovation. In this thesis I evaluate how Intel developed its 01 initiative and then assess the levels of success achieved to date and planned for the future. History will show if OI is a useful innovation tool and whether Intel can maintain its reputation in the volatile field of digital computing.

Abstract:
Title - Designing Future Sustainable Cities through a Living Labs Approach – A Case study of “Väsby Labs” Purpose - The purpose of this study is to analyze the contributions of the Living Labs research and innovation methodology to the planning process of designing future sustainable cities as well as its main shortcomings. Additionally, this study intends to provide possible solutions to improve the model in the future. The Living Labs model focuses on creating platforms for communication, innovation and long term development by inviting different stakeholders to an open planning process before public places are defined, houses built and schools developed. Interaction between developers, inhabitants, social services, and political and financial systems is the key element of this model. Research questions - What are the main contributions of the Living Labs Model to the process of designing future sustainable cities and which are its main limitations? How can these limitations be addressed to improve the process in the future? Methodology - Qualitative research consisting of a literature review and an empirical case study based on semi-structured interviews with key individuals as well as secondary data gathered from the web and from participating in workshops and exhibitions in the project’s site. Research limitations/implications – Due to time limitations this study is a mere analysis of a project being developed on a Swedish municipality and does not contemplate its final results, only the ones reached on the date of the current study. The language is also a limitation, due to some of the literature related to the case study, and the conferences and workshops being in Swedish. Originality/Value - This study is the first attempt to analyze the contribution of a methodology such as the Living Labs to the planning process of designing future sustainable cities.

La secció II va investigar la perspectiva que tenen els usuaris convidats dels ODLs sobre el servei. La secció III va explorar el potencial de la comunitat per beneficiar-se de la indústria del joc. Per últim, la secció IV presenta un marc per establir ODL acadèmics.
Open labs networks characterised by local activity and global connectivity have emerged to address different demands. Open Device Labs (ODLs) is a grass-roots community movement, which aims to democratise testing and evaluation on real devices, thus far unexplored academically. An ODL is a space typically equipped with mobile devices (e.g. smartphones and tablets) connected to the Internet for Web and app testing purposes. This PhD thesis investigates the ODL ecosystem to identify its main characteristics, practices, benefits, and challenges. We conducted a qualitative inductive case study through four main units. Section I explores the ODL ecosystem, both local and global, through the community core from the hosts’ perspective and focuses on professional ODLs. Section II discusses the investigation of the ODL’s guest users’ perspective of the service. Section III explores the potential of the community to benefit the gaming industry. Section IV examines a single case of an academic ODL. Lastly, the final section presents a framework for establishing academic ODLs.

Abstract:
A pressão pela publicação e divulgação de mais dados governamentais produzidos pelos governos tem contribuído não só para aprimoramento dos níveis de transparência pública, mas também como forma de potencializar o desenvolvimento de serviços públicos digitais por meio de novas plataformas TIC. Em São Paulo, a criação de um ambiente de inovação, pautado pela criação de ferramentas e soluções digitais do tipo, desenvolvidas através da coparticipação entre o governo municipal e demais partes interessadas, se baseou essencialmente na utilização de dados abertos de transporte e mobilidade urbana. Dessa forma, nasceu o MobiLab, um laboratório vivo (living lab), pautado pela copartipação de setor público, empresas, universidades e demais potenciais usuários que juntos, passaram a direcionar seus esforços para a criação de soluções digitais voltadas para solucionar problemas de locomoção presentes hoje no cotidiano do município de São Paulo. Esta dissertação, portanto, buscou lançar um olhar para o MobiLab, de modo a poder realizar um estudo de caso que contemplasse as questões envolvendo a utilização de dados governamentais abertos, a partir da utilização de um living lab, o MobiLab, como catalisador de diferentes oportunidades e desafios que governos, empresas e a sociedade podem enfrentar engajadas no uso de novas tecnologias criadas a partir do uso de dados abertos. Como forma de melhor analisar as atividades realizadas no MobiLab, a pesquisa realizou um estudo de caso junto à startups participantes de um programa de residência, onde foi possível acompanhar parte do processo de criação de aplicativos digitais e a percepção dos usuários do laboratório a respeito da utilização de um ambiente de inovação tecnológica, caracterizado pelo uso de dados abertos e a forma como ele incide no desenvolvimento das soluções propostas
The pressure for the publication and dissemination of more government-produced government data has contributed not only to improved levels of public transparency, but also as a way of leveraging the development of digital public services through new ICT platforms. In São Paulo, the creation of an innovative environment, based on the creation of digital tools and solutions of the kind, developed through the co-participation between the municipal government and other interested parties, based on the use of open transport data and urban mobility. MobiLab was born, a living lab, based on the co-participation of the public sector, companies, universities and other potential users, who together began to direct their efforts towards the creation of digital solutions aimed at solving problems of Urban mobility present today in the daily life of the municipality of São Paulo. This dissertation, therefore, sought to look at MobiLab, as a case study that contemplated the issues involving the use of open government data, focused on urban mobility, and guided by the use of a living lab, the MobiLab, as a catalyst for different opportunities and challenges that governments, startups and society may face while using new technologies created from the use of open government data. As a way to better analyze the activities developed at MobiLab, the research carried out a case study with startups participants of a residence program, where it was possible to follow part of the creation process of the applications and the perception of the users regarding the use of an environment of technological innovation, based on the use of open data and the way in which it focuses on the development of the proposed solutions

Abstract:
“[A]s much as any other product, the car has shaped not only the global economy but how billions of people live”1,whilethe digital area is nowshapingthe car.Coopetition, a strategy presenting firms with the opportunity to collaborate and compete at the same time,is becoming a prevalent phenomenonamong large OEMs and start-ups in the automotive industry.Respectively, considering that coopetition, in the context of open innovation and new technologies, has been identified as a successful strategy, this thesis will therefore analyse the relationship between OEMs and external start-ups in the context of coopetition and corporate open innovation strategies. Several typesof corporate incubators, accelerators and corporate innovation labs emerged within the last years, howeveran integration of all three of these has not yet been widely explored. Accordingly, while these open innovation streamsare used by large corporationsto get access to the start-upecosystemand increase their innovation capabilities, the relationship between OEMs and external start-ups will further lead to CIIAs (a combined approach of corporate incubators, corporate innovation labs and corporate accelerators),demonstratedin the context of coopetition. This exploratory study therebycontributes to the relationship between external start-ups and OEMsthrough aCIIA approach,answering the two following researchquestions;•What are the main drivers of the OEM and external start-uprelationship?•How do OEMs and external start-ups coopete in the context of corporate open innovation strategies?To dulyanswer these research questions, we choseaqualitative researchmethodcombined with an interpretivist and inductiveapproachas well asempirical findings generated from 6semi-structured interviews. We furthercontributed tothe illustrationof the key aspects of CIIAsas well asthe motives, management and implications behind the relationshipsbetween OEMs and external start-upsbyaconceptual framework. Our analysishence showsthe significanceof the access to complementary resources, the co-creation and co-development of value as well as the systematic implementation of a proof of conceptin the light of thesecoopetitive relationshipsbetween CIIAs and external start-ups.However, consideringthat thisresearch has been based on the German automotive industry only, it will require further research in other contexts, sectors or countries. To conclude, thisthesis contributes tothe management literature ofcoopetition, corporate innovation and entrepreneurship. We proposeda finalframeworkto highlightthekey motives, the management and the implications behind thecoopetitive relationshipsbetween OEMsand external start-upsthrough the CIIA platform.This willexpectedly help managers and entrepreneurs develop efficientmanagement techniques as well asfurther recognize and understand the influential dynamicspresent in these relationships

Abstract:
This thesis introduce a new innovation methodology called IDEAS(R)EVOLUTION that was developed according to an on-going experimental research project started in 2007. This new approach to innovation has initial based on Design thinking for innovation theory and practice. The concept of design thinking for innovation has received much attention in recent years. This innovation approach has climbed from the design and designers knowledge field towards other knowledge areas, mainly business management and marketing. Human centered approach, radical collaboration, creativity and breakthrough thinking are the main founding principles of Design thinking that were adapted by those knowledge areas due to their assertively and fitness to the business context and market complexity evolution. Also Open innovation, User-centered innovation and later on Living Labs models emerge as answers to the market and consumers pressure and desire for new products, new services or new business models. Innovation became the principal business management focus and strategic orientation. All this changes had an impact also in the marketing theory. It is possible now to have better strategies, communications plans and continuous dialogue systems with the target audience, incorporating their insights and promoting them to the main dissemination ambassadors of our innovations in the market. Drawing upon data from five case studies, the empirical findings in this dissertation suggest that companies need to shift from Design thinking for innovation approach to an holistic, multidimensional and integrated innovation system. The innovation context it is complex, companies need deeper systems then the success formulas that “commercial “Design thinking for innovation “preaches”. They need to learn how to change their organization culture, how to empower their workforce and collaborators, how to incorporate external stakeholders in their innovation processes, hoe to measure and create key performance indicators throughout the innovation process to give them better decision making data, how to integrate meaning and purpose in their innovation philosophy. Finally they need to understand that the strategic innovation effort it is not a “one shot” story it is about creating a continuous flow of interaction and dialogue with their clients within a “value creation chain“ mindset; RESUMO: Metodologia de co-criação de um produto/marca cruzando Marketing, Design Thinking, Criativity and Management - IDEAS(R)EVOLUTION. Esta dissertação apresenta uma nova metodologia de inovação chamada IDEAS(R)EVOLUTION, que foi desenvolvida segundo um projecto de investigação experimental contínuo que teve o seu início em 2007. Esta nova abordagem baseou-se, inicialmente, na teoria e na práctica do Design thinking para a inovação. Actualmente o conceito do Design Thinking para a inovação “saiu” do dominio da area de conhecimento do Design e dos Designers, tendo despertado muito interesse noutras áreas como a Gestão e o Marketing. Uma abordagem centrada na Pessoa, a colaboração radical, a criatividade e o pensamento disruptivo são principios fundadores do movimento do Design thinking que têm sido adaptados por essas novas áreas de conhecimento devido assertividade e adaptabilidade ao contexto dos negócios e à evolução e complexidade do Mercado. Também os modelos de Inovação Aberta, a inovação centrada no utilizador e mais tarde os Living Labs, emergem como possiveis soluções para o Mercado e para a pressão e desejo dos consumidores para novos productos, serviços ou modelos de negócio. A inovação passou a ser o principal foco e orientação estratégica na Gestão. Todas estas mudanças também tiveram impacto na teoria do Marketing. Hoje é possivel criar melhores estratégias, planos de comunicação e sistemas continuos de diálogo com o público alvo, incorporando os seus insights e promovendo os consumidores como embaixadores na disseminação da inovação das empresas no Mercado Os resultados empiricos desta tese, construídos com a informação obtida nos cinco casos realizados, sugerem que as empresas precisam de se re-orientar do paradigma do Design thinking para a inovação, para um sistema de inovação mais holistico, multidimensional e integrado. O contexto da Inovação é complexo, por isso as empresas precisam de sistemas mais profundos e não apenas de “fórmulas comerciais” como o Design thinking para a inovação advoga. As Empresas precisam de aprender como mudar a sua cultura organizacional, como capacitar sua força de trabalho e colaboradores, como incorporar os públicos externos no processo de inovação, como medir o processo de inovação criando indicadores chave de performance e obter dados para um tomada de decisão mais informada, como integrar significado e propósito na sua filosofia de inovação. Por fim, precisam de perceber que uma estratégia de inovação não passa por ter “sucesso uma vez”, mas sim por criar um fluxo contínuo de interação e diálogo com os seus clientes com uma mentalidade de “cadeia de criação de valor”

The purpose of this work is to elaborate a proposal of Living Labs organization on the region known as 'Linha Verde' urban zone of road BR 116, that crosses Curitiba and became the sixth structuring axis of the city. As an old road, it provides low added-value services and has social demands pending of solution, as the same time as it is passing by an urban requalification process aiming the change in this scenario. It is believed that, by transforming this route in a sustainable innovation center, the attractiveness of this zone will be increased, bringing in companies and services intensive in technology and of higher complexity. To accomplish the change in 'Linha Verde' in aaccordance with the Reference Term presented by the City Hall of Curitiba to Fundação Getulio Vargas, a study on Living Labs was conducted – real life experimentation labs that target the creation of innovative products and services through public-private-personal partnerships. The research methods applied in the formulation of the present thesis proposal were national and international experience collection through literature revision, semi-structured interviews with key players of 'Linha Verde' project material analysis and field visits. The Strategic Situational Planning was used to realize scenario diagnosis and proposals to the solution of the case. The proposal developed in the work consists of mapping potential Living Labs for 'Linha Verde' detaling important aspects apprehended in bibliographical review (coordination, participation and network formation and implementation method). It was made the option of suggesting them according to the six interest areas of a smart city (smart environment, smart mobility, smart living, smart people, smart economy and smart governance) given the fact that Curitiba already adopts this concept. In addition to that, the creation of a structure of governance and innovative ideas capitation was suggested, based on researched international experiences. Possible externalities that the Living Labs may bring to the city are also presented. Lastly, the steps of the proposal implemetation are presented. The initiatives presented here can contribute to make the 'Linha Verde' a social and economic development area serving as a laboratory of innovative urban solutions.
O objetivo desse trabalho consiste na elaboração de proposta para estruturação de Living Labs na região da Linha Verde, trecho urbano da BR 116, que cruza Curitiba, e que se tornou o sexto eixo estruturante da cidade. Por ser antiga rodovia, apresenta serviços de baixo valor agregado, com demandas sociais a serem resolvidas, e passa por um processo de requalificação urbana, visando mudar esse cenário. Acredita-se que transformar essa via num centro de inovações urbanas sustentáveis aumentará a atratividade da região, trazendo empresas e serviços intensivos em tecnologia e de maior complexidade. Para realizar essa mudança na Linha Verde, atendendo ao Termo de Referência apresentado à Fundação Getulio Vargas pela Prefeitura de Curitiba, realizou-se estudo de Living Labs – laboratórios de experimentação na vida real, cujo objetivo é criar produtos e serviços inovadores por meio de parcerias público-privada-pessoais. Os métodos de pesquisa utilizados para formulação da proposta dessa dissertação foram: revisão de literatura com levantamento de experiências nacionais e internacionais, entrevistas semiestruturadas com atores do projeto da Linha Verde, análise de materiais e visitas de campo. Utilizou-se o Planejamento Estratégico Situacional para diagnóstico do cenário e proposição das soluções para o caso. A proposta elaborada no trabalho consiste no mapeamento de potenciais Living Labs para a Linha Verde, com detalhamento de aspectos importantes identificados na revisão bibliográfica (coordenação, participação, formação da rede e método de implementação). Optou-se por sugeri-los de acordo com as seis áreas de interesse de uma cidade inteligente (smart environment, smart mobility, smart living, smart people, smart economy e smart governance), visto que Curitiba já adota esse conceito. Adicionalmente, sugeriu-se a criação de estrutura de governança e de captação de ideias inovadoras, baseadas em experiências internacionais pesquisadas. Apresentam-se também possíveis externalidades que os Living Labs podem trazer à cidade. Por fim, apresentam-se as etapas de implantação da proposta. As iniciativas aqui propostas podem contribuir para tornar a Linha Verde uma área de desenvolvimento econômico e social, servindo como um laboratório de soluções urbanas inovadoras.

Abstract:
En ce début de XXIème siècle, l’époque où seul la technique transformait la société toute entière est clairement révolue. Certes, les révolutions techniques sont là : interconnexion des personnes, explosion de l’internet, apparition de nouvelles formes d’énergies, de nouveaux procédés de production, de nouveaux matériaux etc... mais l’homme n'est plus un simple consommateur sensible au prix et aux incitations de l’état. Il souhaite être acteur et participer à l’utilisation des nouvelles technologies mais de manière raisonnée et en intégrant les grands enjeux sociétaux tels que le partage et la sauvegarde des ressources et matières premières. Cette thèse s’inscrit dans cette problématique globale: en effet tout au long du manuscrit nous réfléchissons à comment une révolution technique tel que la fabrication additive (FA) est prise en main par des citoyens dans des lieux de partage de la connaissance que sont les FabLabs, et plus précisément, s’il est possible et de quelle manière introduire de la durabilité dans le contexte open-source. Nous voyons dans un premier temps, comment la problématique sociétale forte du recyclage des matériaux se développe dans le contexte de la FA en générale et plus particulièrement nous proposons une revue bibliographique systématique sur le sujet. Dans un second temps nous recentrons notre recherche sur la FA dans le contexte open source et nous montrons que les machines dans ce contexte, bien qu’à des coûts très faibles par rapport aux machines professionnelles, ont cependant des niveaux de reproductibilités suffisant pour que l’on les utilise dans le cadre d’une recherche poussée. Dans le troisième chapitre nous proposons une méthodologie générale fixant l’étude du recyclage de polymères thermoplastiques dans le contexte open-source. Dans le quatrième chapitre nous utilisons la méthodologie vu précédemment pour le recyclage de l’acide polylactique (PLA). Nous montrons le niveau de dégradation de la matière à travers l’ensemble du procédé et concluons qu’il est possible de recycler le PLA pour l’impression 3D mais dans une moindre mesure que pour les procédés d’injection. Enfin nous concluons et proposons en perspective d’étudier le recyclage en circuit court d’autres polymères thermoplastique
Since the beginning of the XXI century, we can recognize that several technical (r)evolutions have changed the way we conceived our world. New realities have appeared thanks to the information and communication technologies (e.g. Internet), peer-to-peer dynamics (e.g. open software/hardware, collaborative economy), new means of production (fablabs, hackerspaces), among others. One of the impacts of this technical ecosystem is the individual's empowerment that changes the relationship between consumer and producer. For instance, we observe an evolution of role passing from a passive consumer towards an active prosumer, where this latter considers not only economic aspects, but also social and environmental issues.This thesis is integrated in this global issue; indeed, throughout the manuscript we analyze about the impact of open-source (OS) Additive Manufacturing (AM) (also as known as open-source 3D printing or just 3D printing) in the light of the sustainability issues. The democratization of OS AM and the creation of spaces for co-creation (e.g. FabLabs) proved the interest for changes in the established roles. Therefore, we are interested in how this OS technology could develop sustainable waste management options through a polymer recycling process. In a first phase, we present the concept of additive manufacturing (AM) and its importance on sustainability issues. A systematic literature review related to the material recycling advances in the commercial and open-source (OS) AM is developed with a focus on thermoplastic polymer recycling.In a second phase, our aim is to validate open-source AM systems as a reliable manufacturing tool. We develop and test an experimental protocol in order to evaluate the dimensional performance using as case study a representative OS 3D printer: called FoldaRap. It was found that the International Standard Tolerance Grade of this machine is situated between IT14 and IT16. We conclude that the dimensional performance of this case study is comparable to the commercial AM systems, taking into account the important different in terms of machine cost. In a third phase, we center our attention on the recycling process and we propose a systematic methodology to evaluate the feasibility of the use of recycled thermoplastic polymer in OS 3D printers. A case study is developed with the evaluation of the recycling process using polylactid acid (PLA). The results allow us to conclude that the use of recycled PLA is technically feasible. Nevertheless, the degradation of the material is more important than in other traditional manufacturing systems (e.g. injection). Finally, we concludes and propose as perspectives, the study of a distributed recycling process for other type of polymers

This method is based on the principles of collaborative design-by which all organizational profiles provide specific design tasks, and the idea of incremental progression of projects, increasing at each stage of production the formal features and functionality artifact. The thesis begins with a theoretical study in which we present the main concepts and features three main areas: 1) new business models and scenarios that emerge from them, as so-called "open innovation" and "living labs"; 2) The research in the design field, which involved paradigms as "collaborative design" that governs the development of this doctoral research; 3) Theory of distributed cognition, studying the characteristics of cognitive development of subjects in different environments using different types of artifacts. A second part of the thesis presents the results of empirical exploration based on the concepts, features and phases of action research method. This chapter presents the incremental design method -main contribution of the thesis- and explains how it has been tested on two projects undertaken by the organization in which research is conducted. These projects make contributions in two different environments in knowledge management area. The projects are the development (following the proposed method) of e-health service to support the treatment of the disease of dysphagia; and systematization of incremental design method by implementing a workflow tool that is useful in everyday activity of the collective multidisciplinary research that develops the thesis. From empirical exploration emerge qualitative and quantitative results that are intended to validate the proposed methodology and are exposed in the thesis document. Finally, the last chapter presents general conclusions and specific work and contributions this makes to the scientific community, as well as suggesting some future research that may follow the experience presented here.
El presente documento presenta la evolución y resultados del trabajo de investigación que tiene como objetivo proponer un método incremental de diseño de servicios concebidos para entornos de gestión del conocimiento a través de Internet, denominados e-services. Dicho método se basa en los principios del diseño colaborativo -según los cuales todos los perfiles de la organización aportan tareas de diseño específicas- y en la idea de la progresión incremental de los proyectos, aumentando en cada fase de producción las funcionalidades y características formales del artefacto. El método propuesto ha sido puesto en práctica por un grupo de investigación multidisciplinario dedicado a la realización de diversos proyectos en el ámbito de la gestión del conocimiento.

Abstract:
Les FabLabs, les hackerspaces et les makerspaces sont des ateliers collectifs équipés de machines à commandes numériques et organisés en réseau. Ces lieux s’inscrivent dans l’élan du mouvement maker et dans l’héritage des hackers. Ils se présentent comme des espaces ouverts à tous et pour tout faire. Malgré une forte médiatisation, la réalité des discours et des pratiques qui s’y développent est encore peu étudiée. Cette thèse en esthétique et en design s’appuie sur une vaste enquête ethnographique menée de 2012 à 2015 au coeur de ces communautés, en France et à l’étranger.De nombreux entretiens et observations dessinées permettent une description critique des manières de faire rencontrées sur ces terrains.Les pratiques, les discours et les ambitions de la fabrication numérique personnelle se construisent dans les marges des territoires classiques de l’industrie et du design et en brouillent les cadres historiques. La première partie de la thèse retrace les origines des mouvements maker et hacker et des FabLabs. En s’appuyant sur des données de première mains et sur des récits plus classiques, elle montre comment la contre-culture américaine et les ambitions technophilesdes chercheurs du MIT rencontrent des appropriations locales divergentes.La réhabilitation du plaisir au travail et l’héritage des Arts and Crafts sont deux aspects qui permettent d’envisager ces lieux comme des terrains d’expérimentation sociale, au-delà de la stricte production. Dans la deuxième partie, la thèse se concentre sur les valeurs d’ouverture et de partage prônées par les amateurs, bricoleurs, makers ou inventeurs contemporains. L’hypothèse d’un design ouvert et participatif conçu hors des standards de la production industrielle de masse est examinée. L’« open design » place la production d’objets dans le sillage de l’open source. Les résultats de ce type de production dessinent les contours encore fl ous d’un territoire nouveau pour le design.La troisième partie étudie les promesses et contradictions qui entourent la démocratisation de l’innovation et de la production. L’impression 3D est prise comme cas d’étude emblématique pour étudier les ambivalences de l’émancipation espérée par les porteparoles du mouvement maker. Ces pratiques hésitantes nourrissent les ramifi cations de ce que nous proposons d’appeler un design diffus. Celui-ci se développe par tâtonnements dans les communautés d’amateurs et touche à des activités créatives d’invention, de Conception et de fabrication.L’étendue rhizomatique des manières de faire propresau design diff us est composée d’objets sans apparat,situés dans les marges de l’industrie. Selon la défi nitionqui en est proposée, ils sont conçus de manière ouverteet documentée dans l’objectif d’explorer et de contribuerà la découverte des technologies de la fabricationnumérique personnelle. Sans constituer de paradigmeclos, le design diff us détourne les normes instituées etles procédures classiques du design et de l’industriepour proposer une conception exploratoire et ouverte dela fabrication
FabLabs, hackerspaces and makerspaces are shared workshops, equipped with digital tools and organised in a network. These places are connected to the maker movement and are heirs to hackers.They off er themselves as places where anybody can come and make anything. In spite of some strong media coverage, the reality of discourses and practices that occur in those places has not yet been much studied. This dissertation in Aesthetics and design is based on a large ethnographic survey conducted between 2012 and 2015, in France and abroad. A series of interviews and drawn observations allows for a critical description of the ways of doing that can be witnessed on these fields. Practices, discourses and ambitions of personal digital fabrication are built in the margins of the classical fields of industry and design, blurring their historical frames. The fi rst part of this dissertation retraces the origins of FabLabs as well as of the maker and hacker movements. First hand data and classical accounts reveal how American counter-culture and the technophile ambitions of MIT researchers result in diverging local appropriations.The rehabilitation of pleasure at work and the heritage of the Arts and Crafts both point to these places as fields ofsocial experimentation, beyond mere production. In the second part, this dissertation focuses on the values of openness and sharing advocated by contemporary amateurs, tinkerers, makers or inventors. The hypothesis of a design that could be open, participative, out of the standards of industrial mass production is examined. « Open design » places the production of artefacts in the wake of open source. This type of production ends up shaping a new, though hazy, field for design.The third part studies the promises and contradictions that surround the democratization of innovation and production. 3D printing is taken as an emblematic case study to consider the ambivalences behind the emancipation expected by representatives of the maker movement.These indecisive practices feed the branches of what we might call 'diff use design'. It develops itself by trial and error in amateur communities and reaches creative activities of invention, conception and fabrication. The rhizomatic area of diff use design comprises rather plain objects, situated in the margins of industry. According to this defi nition, they are produced in an open and documented way, in order to explore and contribute to the discovery of digital fabricationtechnologies. Diff use design is not a closed paradigm, but turns away from instituted norms and off ers an openand exploratory conception of fabrication

Abstract:
This thesis examines the use of modelling approaches in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) at node and sink to: reduce the amount of data that needs to be transmitted by each node and estimate sensor readings for locations where no data is available. First, to contextualise the contributions in this thesis, a framework for WSN monitoring applications (FieldMAP) is proposed. FieldMAP provides a structure for developing monitoring applications that advocates the use of modelling to improve the informational output of WSNs and goes beyond the sense- and-send approach commonly found in current, elded WSN applications. Rather than report raw sensor readings, FieldMAP advocates the use of a state vector to encapsulate the state of the phenomena sensed by the node. Second, the Spanish Inquisition Protocol (SIP) is presented. SIP reduces the amount of data that a sensor node must transmit by combining model-based ltering with Dual-Prediction approaches. SIP makes use of the state vector component of FieldMAP to form a simple predictive model that allows the sink to estimate sensor readings without requiring regular updates from the node. Transmissions are only made when the node detects that the predictive model no longer matches the evolving data stream. SIP is shown to produce up to a 99% reduction in the number of samples that require transmission on certain data sets using a simple linear approach and consistently outperforms comparable algorithms when used to compress the same data streams. Furthermore, the relationship between the user-specied error threshold and number of transmissions required to reconstruct a data set is explored, and a method to estimate the number of transmissions required to reconstruct the data stream at a given error threshold is proposed. When multiple parameters are sensed by a node, SIP allows them to be combined into a single state vector. This is demonstrated to further reduce the number of model updates required compared to processing each sensor stream individually. iii Third, a sink-based, on-line mechanism to impute missing sensor values and predict future readings from sensor nodes is developed and evaluated in the context of an on-line monitoring system for a Water Distribution System (WDS). The mechanism is based on a machine learning approach called Gaussian Process Regression (GPR), and is implemented such that it can exploit correlations between nodes in the network to improve predictions. An on-line windowing algorithm deals with data arriving out of order and provides a feedback mechanism to predict values when data is not received in a timely manner. A novel approach to create virtual sensors that allows a data stream to be predicted where no physical sensor is permanently deployed is developed from the on-line GPR mechanism. The use of correlation in prediction is shown to improve the accuracy of predicted data from 1.55 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI) Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) to 0.01 PSI RMSE. In-situ evaluation of the Virtual Sensors approach over 36 days showed that an accuracy of 0:75 PSI was maintained. The protocols developed in this thesis present an opportunity to improve the output of environmental monitoring applications. By improving energy consumption, long-lived networks that collect detailed data are made possible. Furthermore, the utility of the data collected by these networks is increased by using it to improve coverage over areas where measurements are not taken or available.

Abstract:

Living Lab är en öppen innovationsmiljö där innovationer samproduceras, testas och verifieras av användarna, tillsammans med företag och akademin i en kontext som representerar innovationens tänkta användningsområde. Genom samverkan kan olika värden skapas för företagen. Syftet med uppsatsen var att undersöka hur Living Lab skapar värde för företag och vilka värden företag kan identifiera ur de användarcentrerade aktiviteterna. Uppsatsen karaktäriseras av en kvalitativ ansats och grundar sig i en explorativ undersökning med djupintervjuer där fyra företag ligger till grund för uppsatsens resultat. Uppsatsen har visat att Living Lab skapat värden för företag genom att de fått mer tilltalande produkter, identifierat nya användarkategorier och samordnat resurser med företag. Living Lab är därmed värdeskapande för företag genom stöd för utvärdering, ny- och vidareutveckling av innovationer. Samverkan mellan användare, företag och akademin öppnar upp för ett kunskapsutbyte vilket skapar värde för företag då kompetensutveckling äger rum och en djupare kunskap om användarna kan erhållas

Abstract:
El objetivo del estudio fue explicar el estado del arte en sus diferentes posturas, las mismas que guardan relación con la implementación de la innovación abierta en las pymes. Numerosas investigaciones afirman que las prácticas de innovación abierta, ya es una tendencia, de modo que, es imperativo que las pymes no solo hagan uso esta implementación, sino que, por ser numerosas en el país, motiven al crecimiento empresarial. La presente investigación contempla las diversas posturas de innovación con estudios realizados desde el 2014 hacia el presente. Asimismo, la investigación muestra resultados beneficiosos en un cierto porcentaje de pymes, siendo estas contrarias para otros investigadores, donde muestran resultados no favorables y contrapuestos. Consecuentemente, ya que existe una controversia en la implementación de la innovación abierta para las pymes, no existe un protocolo establecido para implementar la innovación abierta en una organización, de modo que, da lugar a que otras empresas puedan imitar o improvisar procesos de adopción de empresas.
The objective of the study was to explain the state of the art in its different positions, which are related to the implementation of open innovation in SMEs. Numerous researches affirms that open innovation practices are already a trend, so it is imperative that SMEs not only make use of this implementation, but because they are numerous in the country, they motivate business growth. The present investigation contemplates the diverse positions of innovation with studies realized from the 2014 towards the present. Likewise, the research shows beneficial results in a certain percentage of SMEs, these being contrary to other researchers, where they show unfavorable and conflicting results. Consequently, since there is a controversy in the implementation of open innovation for SMEs, there is no established protocol to implement open innovation in an organization, so that it results in other companies being able to imitate or improvise processes of adoption of Business.

Abstract:
COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR
O paradigma de agentes surgiu visando atender à necessidade de novas abstrações para o desenvolvimento de sistemas complexos e distribuídos. Para lidar com a mprevisibilidade do comportamento dos sistemas multi-agentes abertos, que são sistemas concorrentes e assíncronos formados por diversos agentes que agem com certo grau de autonomia e que podem interagir entre si para alcançar objetivos individuais, são usados mecanismos de governança na regulação das interações. Na maioria das abordagens existentes, a especificação das regras de governança é feita com o uso de linguagens declarativas ou de novas representações gráficas, o que pode tornar custosa essa tarefa e dificultar o uso desses mecanismos de governança. Esta dissertação apresenta a LawML, uma linguagem de modelagem baseada em UML para a especificação das regras de interação entre os agentes, com o objetivo de facilitar a tarefa de modelagem e, portanto, facilitar o uso de um mecanismo específico de governança baseado em leis de interação. Um conjunto de regras de transformação é apresentado junto com a linguagem, para permitir que os modelos gráficos de lei de interação sejam transformados em código no formato XMLaw - a linguagem declarativa do mecanismo de governança. Baseada nessas regras de transformação, é apresentada a ferramenta LawGenerator de transformação automática dos modelos de lei, para permitir o desenvolvimento das leis de interação com o foco nos modelos. E, por fim, esta abordagem é aplicada em um estudo baseado em um caso real de sistema distribuído com as características de um sistema multi-agente aberto - o SELIC, do Banco Central do Brasil.
The paradigm of agents appeared while aiming to satisfy the need for new abstractions for the development of complex and distributed systems. To manage with the unpredictable behavior of open multi-agent systems, governance mechanisms are used in the regulation of interactions between agents. This is due to the concurrent and asynchronous characteristics of these systems, which are formed by several agents who can act autonomically and can interact with each other to reach individual goals. In the majority of approaches, the governance rules are specified with declarative languages or new graphical representations, which can make this task costly and can make the use of these governance mechanisms difficult. This essay presents the LawML, a modeling language based on UML for the specification of rules for interactions between agents, which is aimed to facilitate the modeling task and, therefore, to facilitate the use of a specific governance mechanism based on interaction laws. A set of transformation rules is presented in addition to the language to allow the graphical interaction law models to be transformed into the declarative language of the governance mechanism, the XMLaw format code. To allow the model-driven development of interaction laws, it is presented the LawGenerator, a tool for the automatic transformation of the law model, based on these transformation rules. Finally, this approach is applied to a case study based on a real distributed system, the Brazilian Central Bank SELIC system, with the characteristics of an open multi-agent system.

Abstract:
There is a recent emergence of open government initiatives for citizen participation in policy making in China. Open government initiatives seek to increase the level of participation, deliberation and transparency in government affairs, sometimes by use of Internet fora. In contemporary political science the introduction of these initiatives in authoritarian contexts has been described as a paradox of authoritarian deliberation. This thesis uses cybernetic theory, perspectives of information steering in all systems, to resolve the paradox and present a new view on authoritarianism and autocracy. A cybernetic definition of autocracy allows for an analysis of different types of autocracy in different models of governance. The theoretical tools developed are used to define and assess the potential for democratic autocracy, representative autocracy, deliberative autocracy and collaborative autocracy in online open government initiatives in China.   The argument of the thesis is that these initiatives must be understood within the environment in which they are introduced. In the case of the Chinese online environment, individuals often have limited possibilities of acting anonymously. To explore how online identity registration affects citizens, a lab-in-the-field experiment was set up. Chinese university students were invited to engage with a government sponsored online forum under conditions of both anonymity and identity registration. Previous research suggests that anonymity would lead users of online fora to be more active and produce more content. This hypothesis was partly proven false by the experiment. This study shows that users who have their identities registered, sometimes even produce more content. The study also shows that registered users tend to act against their own preferences and participate more in nationalistic debates. The concluding discussion is focused on the wider implications of these effects. If citizens are incentivized to channel their dissatisfaction as loyalty, rather than voice or exit, they might become complicit in sustaining authoritarianism. Interviews with experiment participants show that open government initiatives primarily enable deliberative and collaborative autocracy when introduced in the Chinese online environment. This has the potential of increasing the amount of dissatisfaction that citizens channel as loyalty via mechanisms of authoritarian collaboration.

Abstract:
The dissertation is focused on a multimedia lab for different applications, projects, text, video, audio, etc. Focused on the use of different user categories, as can be seen from reading the thesis. Design structures that can be effective, the program codes, program languages, and tools used to design and schedule used are proposed. You can output video synchronized time according to local time. We have investigated all kinds of references to avoid mistakes and has been possible objectives. Unfortunately the server we used to create this program is dead, your motherboard is not working and we have to wait to start again on another PC. A research study has given us some results on the state of local television in Catalonia implying that 70% were no longer active in 2014 or 2015 as they are in daily local station TV show, but what they do is posting videos of events on the internet as a video on demand and this is not a regular daily issue, forcing to use the computer or Smartphone to see that video, and this is not our goal. Our primary goal is for local TV studios can issue a daily schedule like any regular TV channel using the internet fiber optic network with 300Mbs. No need for an internet service provider or rely on an external server with videos in its database. Our solution gives the possibility that local broadcasters are self-reliant. We have given a complete solution that works and that is a low economic cost to local television, giving a procedure for sending programs in video format quality and high definition, and also how a Smart TV in our home can receive the daily program through a system of appropriate devices and connections making a request for the IP address used by the local TV studio to send the entire program. Knowing that this is operationally and economically and considering that Francisco Javier Villasevil is president of the federation of local television in Catalonia, when it comes to light and get together with municipalities that closed their local televisions, this may be the resumption of I wanted something that was lost, and allow student journalists, image and sound to work as interns to have a prosperous future careers.
La tesis doctoral está enfocada en un laboratorio multimedia para diversos usos, proyectos, textos, vídeos, audio, etc., enfocada para el uso de diferentes categorías de usuario, tal y como se puede ver en la lectura de la tesis. Se proponen las estructuras de diseño que pueden ser efectivas, los códigos de programa, los lenguajes de programa utilizados y las herramientas de diseño y programación utilizadas. Se pueden emitir videos sincronizados por tiempo en función de la hora local. Se han investigado toda clase de referencias para no cometer errores y ha sido posible realizar los objetivos. Por desgracia el servidor que hemos utilizado para crear este programa ha muerto, su placa base no funciona y tenemos que esperar comenzar de nuevo en otro PC. Un estudio de investigación nos ha dado unos resultados sobre la situación de las televisiones locales de Cataluña dando a entender que un 70% ya no estaban activas en 2014 ni lo están en 2015 como emisora de programa diario local de televisión, sino que lo que hacen es publicar vídeos de eventos en internet como un vídeo en demanda y esto no es una emisión regular diaria, lo que obliga a usar el ordenador o el Smartphone para ver ese vídeo, y esto no es nuestro objetivo. Nuestro objetivo primordial es que los estudios de televisión locales puedan emitir una programación diaria como cualquier canal regular de televisión usando la red internet con fibra óptica de 300Mbs. Sin necesidad de utilizar un proveedor de servicio por internet ni depender de un servidor externo con vídeos en su base de datos. Nuestra solución da la posibilidad de que las televisiones locales sean autodependientes. Hemos dado una completa solución que funciona y que supone un bajo coste económico para la Televisión local, dando un procedimiento para enviar programas en formatos de vídeo de calidad y alta definición, y también cómo un Smart TV de nuestro hogar puede recibir el programa diario a través de un sistema de dispositivos y conexiones adecuadas haciendo una petición de la dirección IP que usa el estudio de televisión local para enviar todo el programa. Sabiendo que esto es funcional y económico y teniendo en cuenta que Francisco Javier Villasevil es presidente de la federación de televisiones locales de Cataluña, cuando esto salga a la luz y los reunamos con los ayuntamientos que cerraron sus televisiones locales, esto puede ser el reinicio de algo querido que se perdió, y permitir que estudiantes de periodismo, imagen y sonido puedan trabajar como becarios para disponer de un próspero futuro laboral.

Abstract:
Purpose: The lead time in the construction industry's innovation development today is far too long. Jönköping's population increases and at the same time Jönköping University is expanding. The need for more housing and student housing is therefore a fact. A Living Lab (LL) creates opportunities to solve both above-mentioned situations. It is a home that simultaneously provide different types of researchers with a research platform to test innovations directly in a real-life environment. Such a project could thus be an advantage for a developing city like Jönköping. The purpose of the project is to investigate how LL projects can open opportunities for innovations in housing and building engineering research in Jönköping, while creating new student housing in the city. Method: The research strategy is qualitative, the main method is a case study. Methods of data collection are literature studies and interviews. Literature studies take place around the concept, the background and different existing projects. This is done to investigate the development of the LL concept and its establishments. The main method used in this report is interviews, which the majority is done over the phone and a couple of them as site visits. Interviews take place with stakeholders from HSB Living Lab in Gothenburg, stakeholders from KTH Live-in Lab in Stockholm and potential stakeholders from Jönköping. Findings: This report serves as a preliminary study for potential stakeholders to establish or participate in a Student LL in Jönköping. In order to shorten lead times in housing and building engineering research, LL has been proven to benefit from innovative research in this area. A project would combine a research arena with new student housing to promote the housing contributions to a more efficient innovation process. In the housing- and construction sector, interest has been shown for innovations in housing environment, real estate and construction business, with efficiency and cost reduction, development and efficiency of materials and smart energy solutions. There is also a research interest for studying of the learning environments and the contributions of the residents to their environment. A potential place of establishment is found just by the university, which would benefit both the university, its research and the establishment of new student housing. Implications: To continue developing the work, further research is recommended on the research questions for a LL-project. It is recommended to review additional opportunities that exists in addition to building engineering and develop issues regarding, for example, housing environment and learning environments. When two of the four parts of the university were reached for interviews, it is also interesting to study the interests of the other parts. There would be an interest in studying how a twist of the concept can be applied to find a specific niche for Jönköping. A project would solve several student housing units that would help solve some of the problem regarding the current housing shortage and enable contributing to the development of the city. Limitations: As the LL concept in Sweden is at an early stage, background information is related to international focus. The report is then limited to focus on Sweden's two major LLs with establishment in Gothenburg and Stockholm with permanent student housing. Furthermore, the focus is on Jönköping, the city of the authors of the report, its potential stakeholders, establishment opportunities and innovation opportunities for a Student LL project. Keywords: Living Lab, student, open innovation, building technology and sustainability.
Syfte: Ledtider inom byggnadsbranschens innovationsutveckling är idag alldeles för långa. Jönköping kommuns befolkning ökar samtidigt som Jönköping University växer. Behovet av fler bostäder och studentbostäder är med detta ett faktum. Ett Living Lab (LL) skapar möjligheter för att förbättra bådadera situationer. Det agerar hem samtidigt som det tillhandahåller olika typer av forskare med en forskningsplattform för att testa innovationer direkt i en verklig miljö. Ett sådant projekt skulle således kunna vara en fördel för en utvecklande stad som Jönköping. Syftet med projektet är att undersöka hur LL-projekt kan öppna möjligheter till samskapande innovationer inom boende- och byggteknikforskning i Jönköping samtidigt som nya studentbostäder etableras. Metod: Undersökningsstrategin är kvalitativ, huvudmetoden är fallstudier. Metoder för datainsamling är litteraturstudier samt intervjuer. Litteraturstudier sker kring begreppet, bakgrund samt projekt för att undersöka utvecklingen av LL-konceptet och dess etableringar. Den huvudsakliga metoden för arbetet är intervjubaserat, majoriteten över telefon och ett antal genom platsbesök. Intervjuer sker med involverade aktörer från HSB Living Lab i Göteborg, från KTH Live-in Lab i Stockholm samt potentiella intressenter från Jönköping. Resultat: Rapporten fungerar som en förundersökning för potentiella intressenter för att etablera eller deltaga i ett Student LL i Jönköping. För att förkorta ledtider inom boende och byggnadsteknisk forskning är LL påvisat gynna nytänkande forskning inom detta. Ett projekt skulle kombinera en forskningsarena med nya studentbostäder för att främja de boendes bidrag till en effektivare innovationsprocess. Inom boende och byggsektorn är intresset påvisat för innovationer inom boendemiljö, fastighets- och byggbranschen med effektivisering och kostnadsreducering, utveckling och effektivisering av material samt smarta energilösningar. Forskningsintresse påvisas även för studerande av lärandemiljöer samt de boendes bidrag till dess miljö. En potentiell etableringsplats påträffas i nära anslutning till universitetet, vilket skulle gynna såväl universitetet, dess forskning samt etablering av nya studentbostäder. Konsekvenser: För att fortsätta utveckla arbetet rekommenderas undersökning vidare kring forskningsfrågorna för ett LL. Det rekommenderas att granska ytterligare möjligheter och utveckla specifika frågor gällande exempelvis boendemiljö samt lärandemiljöer. Då två av fyra fackhögskolor nåddes för intervjuer är det även intressant att studera kvarvarande fackhögskolors intressen. Att studera hur en vridning av konceptet kan tillämpas för att hitta en specifik nisch för Jönköping är av intresse. Ett projekt i Jönköping skulle lösa ett antal studentbostäder som bidrar till att lösa en del av problemet angående den rådande bostadsbristen och möjliggör bidragande till utveckling av staden. Begränsningar: Då LL-konceptet i Sverige befinner sig i ett tidigt skede förhåller sig bakgrundsinformationen till internationellt fokus. Arbetet begränsas sedan till fokus på Sveriges två större LL med etablering i Göteborg och Stockholm med permanenta studentbostäder. Vidare landar fokus i Jönköping, staden som författarna till rapporten är placerade i, dess potentiella intressenter, etableringsmöjligheter samt innovationsmöjligheter för ett Student LL-projekt. Nyckelord: Living Lab, student, open innovation, byggnadsteknik och hållbarhet.

Abstract:
Many applications in engineering practice can be described by thehyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs). Numerical modeling of this typeof equations often involves large gradients or shocks, which makes it achallenging task for conventional numerical methods to accurately simulate suchsystems. Thus developing accurate and efficient shock capturing numericalschemes becomes important for the study of hyperbolic equations.In this dissertation, a detailed study of the numerical methods for linearand nonlinear unsteady hyperbolic equations was carried out. A new finitedifference shock capturing scheme of finite volume style was developed. Thisscheme is based on the high order Pad?? type compact central finite differencemethod with the weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) reconstruction toeliminate non-physical oscillations near the discontinuities while maintain stablesolution in the smooth areas. The unconditionally stable semi-implicit Crank-Nicolson (CN) scheme is used for time integration.The theoretical development was conducted based on one-dimensionalhomogeneous scalar equation and system equations. Discussions were alsoextended to include source terms and to deal with problems of higher dimension.For the treatment of source terms, Strang splitting was used. For multidimensionalequations, the ?? -form Douglas-Gunn alternating direction implicit(ADI) method was employed. To compare the performance of the scheme withENO type interpolation, the current numerical framework was also applied usingENO reconstruction.The numerical schemes were tested on 1-D and 2-D benchmark problems,as well as published experimental results. The simulated results show thecapability of the proposed scheme to resolve discontinuities while maintainingaccuracy in smooth regions. Comparisons with the experimental results validatethe method for dam break problems. It is concluded that the proposed scheme isa useful tool for solving hyperbolic equations in general, and from engineeringapplication perspective it provides a new way of modeling open channel flows.

Um dos desafios de desenvolvimento de software é produzir aplicativos que são projetados para evoluir reduzindo esforços de manutenção. Diversas técnicas desenvolvidas para a governança de leis de interação em sistemas multiagentes abertos foram propostas, no entanto a flexibilidade e a reutilização de leis não ocorrem de forma sistemática com estas técnicas. A tecnologia de gframeworks visa orientar o projeto e a implementação de leis de interação em sistemas multiagentes abertos, com o objetivo de produzir mecanismos de governança de leis de interação. A flexibilidade em g- frameworks é obtida através da introdução de incrementos específicos que as instâncias em desenvolvimento requerem, de modo a completar e adaptar as funcionalidades originais do g-framework. A reutilização em g-frameworks vem justamente do re-aproveitamento de um mesmo projeto e código de lei de interação em instâncias geradas a partir do g-framework. Os benefícios obtidos por tal abordagem podem impactar positivamente o desenvolvimento de software em termos do custo e tempo total de construção de uma família de mecanismos de governança de sistemas multiagentes. Para isto, são apresentadas técnicas de governança de sistemas multiagentes abertos e técnicas de reutilização de leis de interação. Um método de orientação é proposto para guiar o desenvolvimento de g-frameworks. Experimentos foram desenvolvidos e são descritos neste documento.
One of the challenges of software development is to produce applications that are designed to evolve, reducing maintenance efforts. Many techniques developed to govern the interaction laws in open multi- agent systems were proposed, but the flexibility and reuse concerns of interaction laws were not systemically fulfilled by them. The technology of g- frameworks intends to guide the design and the implementation of interaction laws in open multi-agent systems, aiming to facilitate the production of interaction law governance mechanisms. The flexibility in g-frameworks is achieved by specific increments that the instances under development require, to complete and adapt the original functionalities of the g-framework. The reuse in g- frameworks is related to a common design and codification of that interaction laws that are shared by instances developed with the g-framework. The benefits of this approach might positively impact the development of software considering the costs and the necessary time to construct the family of governance mechanisms of multiagent systems. In this thesis, some techniques to promote reuse of interaction laws were propose to fulfill this goal. One method to orient the development of g-frameworks is proposed. Experiments were developed and they are described in this thesis.

Abstract:
Det har blivit mer populärt att skapa 3D-modeller bland kommuner och företag idag. Det går att visualisera de flesta föremål i 3D, vilket kan skapa större tydlighet och därmed ökad förståelse. Lidköpings kommun vill kunna använda sin LiDAR-data till att visualisera byggnader samt kunna kombinera flera datalager med 3D-visualiseringar för att kunna skapa användbara karttjänster. I dagsläget finns det ingen programvara som kan skapa 3D-modeller av LiDAR-data i kommunen. Lidköpings kommun är intresserade av vilka alternativ för GIS-programvaror som finns. De programvaror som valts ut för att skapa 3D-modeller i studien är ArcGIS Pro och QGIS. ArcGIS Pro är en erkänd GIS-programvara på marknaden. Den är licensierad och kostsam. QGIS däremot är en GIS-programvara som är gratis och uppbyggd på fri källkod, vilket gör det möjligt att själv skapa algoritmer som sedan kan användas i programmet. Studien är en jämförelse mellan en programvara som är kostsam och en som är gratis. Metoden som används för att jämföra de båda programvarorna består av tre steg. Steg 1 är en programvarujämförelse, där olika påståenden ställer programvarornas kapacitet mot varandra. Steg 2 är en kontroll av lägesosäkerhet där koordinaterna av 3D-modellernas byggnadshörn jämförs med koordinater inmätta med totalstation. RMSE används för att jämföra lägesosäkerheten. Steg 3 är en visualiseringsanalys som sker igenom ett frågeformulär, vilket går ut till personer som är bekanta med GIS och 3D. Frågeformuläret ställer bilder med 3D-modeller från båda programvarorna mot varandra. Resultatet av samtliga tre steg visar, enligt metoden som har utförts, att ArcGIS Pro är den bättre programvaran. I steg 1 hade ArcGIS Pro fördelar på fem av åtta påståenden jämfört med QGIS. QGIS hade dock mindre tidsåtgång än ArcGIS Pro. I steg 2 hade ArcGIS Pro RMSE för höjd värdet; 1,617, vilket var lägre än RMSE-värdet; 1,961 i QGIS. Enligt svaren från enkäten i steg 3 bedömde ca 90 % av de svarande att ArcGIS Pro var det bättre programmet i de flesta avseenden för de avsedda ändamålen. Vissa jämförelser blev inte helt jämna. QGIS hade minst tidsåtgång för att det inte blev lika mycket felkoder som behövde undersökas som i ArcGIS Pro, även om processen för skapandet av 3D-modeller gick snabbare i ArcGIS Pro. Lägesosäkerhetsjämförelsen på höjd i ArcGIS pro var närmare de inmätta punkterna, då takmodellen skapade större tydlighet. Det blev lättare att se var taket började. I QGIS fanns det ingen takmodell, vilket gjorde det svårare att få höjden exakt.
It has become more popular to create 3D models among local governments and companies today. Now it´s possible to visualize most objects in 3D, which can give an increased understanding. The local government in Lidköping wants to be able to use their LiDAR data to visualize buildings and to combine several data layers with 3D visualizations to create useful web map services. At the present, there is no software that are able create 3D models of LiDAR data at the Local government. The local government in Lidköping is interested in testing different options for modelling in 3D. Two software packages were chosen; ArcGIS Pro and QGIS. ArcGIS Pro is a GIS software that is highly acknowledged in the market. It´s licensed and can be considered expensive. QGIS is a software that is completely free to use and uses open source code, which makes it possible to create algorithms that can then be used in the program. In this view, there will be comparison between a software that is expensive and a software that is completely free. The method used to compare the two software consists of three stages. Stage 1 is a software comparison, where the software capabilities are set against each other in different scenarios. Stage 2 is an investigation of positional accuracy where the coordinates of the 3D model's building corners are compared with coordinates measured with Total Station as reference. RMSE is used to compare positional accuracy. Stage 3 is a visualization analysis that takes place through a questionnaire answered by people who are familiar with GIS and 3D. The result of all three stages, according to the method performed, shows that ArcGIS Pro is the better software. At stage 1, ArcGIS Pro won five out of eight scenarios against QGIS, though QGIS was more time efficient than ArcGIS Pro. At stage 2, ArcGIS Pro had a RMSE value for height of 1,617, which is lower than the 1,961 RMSE value that was on QGIS. At stage 3, ArcGIS Pro had over 90% of the reply rate for most of the questions, representing that ArcGIS Pro’s images were better to visualize the different scenarios. Some comparisons were not completely even though. QGIS had better time accuracy because it did not get as much errors which needed further investigations as in ArcGIS Pro. Although ArcGIS Pro’s processes for creating 3D models were faster. The positional accuracy comparison for the building’s height shows higher accuracy between ArcGIS Pro and the Total Station’s measurements. In QGIS the 3D-modell had no roof model, which made it harder to get accurate height of the building.

Abstract:
Single-phase Euler-Euler based wall-resolving LES with the dynamic Smagorinsky model is used to investigate suspended sediment transport in a turbulent open channel flow. Aspect ratio of the open channel is high. Bottom bed is smooth. For the clear water flow, streamwise and vertical turbulence intensities in experiments of Muste et al. [2005] are much bigger than those in the wall-resolving LES and DNS by Hoyas and Jimenez [2008]. Bulk velocity in the sediment-laden flow is lesser than that in the clear water flow. Friction velocity is same for both flows. While Muste et al. [2005] recorded that in the inner region, the streamwise velocity of the sediment-laden flow was higher than that of the clear water flow, wall-resolving LES shows no alteration. In the outer region, the depth-resolved streamwise velocity of the sediment-laden flow is lower than that of the clear water flow. Introduction of suspended sand particles into the turbulent open channel flow of the clear water results in the decrease of the drag force while shear stress on the channel bed is constant. To get reduction of the bulk velocity, the fast Eulerian method in the two-way coupling should be employed. Single-phase Euler-Euler based unresolved wall-function LES with the Smagorinsky model under the equilibrium stress assumption is implemented to understand interactions between turbulence and suspended sand particles in a turbulent open channel flow. Channel bed is rough. Aspect ratio of the open channel is low. To treat erosion from the bed, the reference concentration method together with the Shields diagram is used. Results are compared against experiments of Cellino [1998]. Suspended particles engender reduction of the friction velocity, bulk velocity and roughness in contrast to the clear water flow. Streamwise velocity is decreased in the outer region while it is expedited in the super-saturated region near the channel bed. It is due to high inter-particle collisions between sediment particles which are not bounded by viscosity. In upper levels, remarkable weakening of the vertical turbulence intensity is seen. When the buoyancy term is deactivated, the sediment concentration gets high and unsatisfactory turbulence statistics are obtained. Wall shear stress on the sidewalls of narrow open channels must be considered. Effects of lateral and bottom macro-rough boundaries on the propagation of a suspended sediment wave in a turbulent open channel flow are shown experimentally. Least decay of the normalized concentration is for the reference case in absence of trapping zone. Least sedimentation among lateral configurations is for case L4 with the highest roughness aspect ratio, cavity density and medium flow discharge. Length of the inlet reach is lowest and it boosts mixing. Highest deposition of the Polyurethane particles is for case L5 with the lowest roughness aspect ratio and cavity density. Discharge is also low. Turbulence is most attenuated for case L2 with the medium flow discharge due to adequate lengths of the inlet and outlet reach. Deposition of the Polyurethane particles and turbulence in the lateral macro-rough flows depend on the cavity aspect ratio, flow discharge, roughness aspect ratio, cavity density and location of the lateral cavities. In the bottom macro-rough flows, effects of spacing between bottom macro-rough elements on the deposition and turbulence characteristics are seen. Turbulence characteristics of upstream C1 and downstream C2 signals are identical for reference, B1 and B1.5 cases. When spacing is 2, highest trapping and deposition take place. Most weakening of the turbulence is seen for spacing 2. When spacing is augmented from 2 to 5, the turbulence is enhanced and trapping becomes lesser. Bottom macro-rough elements change significantly flow pattern and turbulence characteristics in a specific spacing. As spacing gets larger, effects of bottom macro-roughness elements on each other reduces more.

Abstract:
Lima’s coastal lomas are fog oasis whose verdure and biodiversity challenge our imagery of the desert. Due to their extension and importance within an arid environment, they could constitute the biggest environmental referent for a city such as Metropolitan Lima, which faces current environmental and urban challenges. Today, Lima's fog oasis are open spaces and as such they present an opportunity to rethink the relationship they maintain with the city, either as natural reserves or spaces for public usage. This article aims to approach the lomas ecosystems from a geo-urban perspective to analyze the potential they offer both as an alternative and as an opportunity to overcome certain environmental challenges.
Las lomas costeras de Lima son oasis de neblina cuyo verdor y biodiversidad desafían nuestro imaginario del desierto. Por su extensión e importancia dentro de un medio árido, podrían constituir el mayor referente ambiental para una ciudad como Lima metropolitana, de cara a los desafíos ambientales y urbanísticos que afronta en la actualidad. Las lomas de Lima son hoy espacios abiertos, y como tales, representan una oportunidad para repensar las relaciones que mantienen con la ciudad, ya sea como reservas de naturaleza o incluso como espacios de uso público. Este artículo pretende enfocar los ecosistemas de lomas costeras desde una perspectiva geo-urbanística para analizar el potencial que tienen como oportunidad para superar ciertos desafíos ambientales de la ciudad.

Abstract:
Plant growth and productivity are compromised by environmental stresses such as pathogens, extreme temperatures, drought and high salinity. Being sessile organisms, plants had to develop different physiologic and biochemical strategies to cope with these potential harmful situations. Drought in particular is one of the major environmental stresses that plants are forced to endure during their life cycle. The adaptation to water deficit is controlled by a cascade of molecular networks that start with the perception of water shortage which leads to increases in the ABA levels. Even though the ABA signalling model is well described for Arabidopsis, little is known for other plant species. With this thesis we proposed to increase the knowledge of maize response to drought, focusing on a maize kinase of the SnRK2 family ‐ ZmSnRK2.8/ZmOST1 ‐ which is highly homologous to the Arabidopsis OST1. We divided our work on three chapters, namely the biochemical characterization of ZmOST1, the functional characterization of ZmOST1 and the study of ZmOST1 regulation. 1) ZmOST1 biochemical characterization With Chapter 1 we characterized ZmOST1 at the biochemical level, making parallels with the Arabidopsis system whenever pertinent. We found a very close biochemical relationship between the maize and Arabidopsis kinases that suggests a conserved mechanism of plant responses to ABA and drought stress and point to the potential use of this kinase in improvement programs of drought tolerance in crops. 2) ZmOST1 functional characterization With Chapter 2 we described ZmOST1 as a functional kinase that is activated by different osmotic stresses and that is able to complement the Arabidopsis ost1‐2 mutant with effects on stomata closure. We also present a transcription factor of the NAC superfamily (ZmSNAC1) as a novel cognate substrate of ZmOST1. Under abiotic stresses ZmOST1 is capable of phosphorylating this transcription factor with further implications on stomata regulation. 3) ZmOST1 regulation With the results presented in Chapter 3 a larger picture of ABA signalling appears that implicates new partners on ZmOST1 regulation, specifically the CK2 kinase and the proteasome degradation. Ample evidence is shown suggesting CK2 phosphorylation is implicated in ABA signalling by affecting ZmOST1 localization, protein levels, protein degradation and interaction with PP2C phosphatases. At the plant level, overexpressing ZmOST1 mutagenized on the CK2 loci of phosphorylation grants several potential beneficial traits that could prove important for crop biotechnology, such as higher protein levels, better protein stability, enhanced phosphorylation activity and better stomata regulation. Working model: Taken the results presented in this thesis together, we propose a change in the current ABA signalling model. First we believe that there is an important role for CK2 in ABA sensing and SnRK2 activation that could affect the binding of the kinase to the PP2C phosphatises and regulate SnRK2 through degradation. Second, we propose that, apart from the always off and transiently fast on/off modes of SnRK2 activity, there is a third always on mechanism in which the kinase is fully detached from the phosphatase.
La sequía es actualmente el factor abiótico más limitante para el crecimiento de las plantas y se está agravando con los actuales cambios climáticos, aumento de población y reducción de las reservas de agua. Se estima que en el 2050 el 50% de las tierras cultivadas tengan problemas de salinidad o sequía. Por ello, la intensificación de la agricultura y el desarrollo de la mejora biotecnológica de adaptación al estrés son áreas que tienen que reforzarse. En esta tesis se pretende ampliar los conocimientos sobre la respuesta del maíz a la sequía haciendo un estudio profundizado de una quinasa de tipo SnRK2, designada ZmOST1 que está implicada en la respuesta de las plantas al déficit hídrico. - Capítulo 1: Caracterización bioquímica de la quinasa de maíz ZmOST1 en que se establece que ZmOST1 se localiza en el núcleo y citoplasma, se activa por ABA, es capaz de autofosforilar su centro activo y directamente interacciona con una fosfatasa ZmPP2C a través de su dominio regulador. - Capítulo 2: Caracterización fisiológica de ZmOST1. Se determinan los niveles de expresión y de actividad de la quinasa en diferentes tratamientos y estadios de desarrollo; se establece que ZmOST1 es capaz de recuperar el fenotipo de cierre estomático en mutantes OST1 de Arabidopsis; y se identifica un factor de transcripción que se caracteriza como un nuevo substrato de esta quinasa. - Capítulo 3: Se describe una nueva ruta de regulación de ZmOST1 en que esta quinasa es fosforilada por la CK2 (casein kinase 2) en el dominio regulador. Mutagenizando los residuos diana de la CK2 en la ZmOST1 lleva a una mayor acumulación, una menor degradación por el proteasoma y una hipersensibilidad a ABA.

Abstract:
Introducción: La sociedad de la información plantea nuevas formas de vida, trabajo e interrelaciones, exigiendo un constante esfuerzo de Alfabetización Digital. Los Objetivos de Desarrollo de la Declaración del Milenio (United Nations, 2000), promueven la utilización de las tecnologías de información y comunicaciones (TIC) para facilitar el acceso a los conocimientos médicos, fortalecer la investigación y la prevención en salud. En 1993, la Fundación Open Society Institute (OIS) promueve Open Access Initiative (OAI) al objeto de crear sistemas que permiten acceso libre y gratuito a la información científica bajo el compromiso de respeto y fines éticos de utilización, garantizando la calidad de los contenidos sin obligatoriedad de cesión del copyrigth de los artículos. En 2004 Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) desarrolla Directory of Open Accesss Journals (DOAJ) y surgen otras plataformas Open Access (OA). Objetivo: Conocer y analizar el impacto de la OAI sobre la producción científica en Ciencias de la Salud (CS). Método: Descripción y análisis crítico del proceso y principales herramientas OA. Desarrollar herramientas que faciliten el acceso y la difusión del conocimiento en CS generado en España. Estudiar la integración de herramientas 2.0 en revistas OA y de acceso restringido. Resultados: OAI constituye una herramienta importante para la difusión y acceso al conocimiento científico, favoreciendo el incremento de la calidad, visibilidad y prestigio de las publicaciones. SciElo ha permitido incrementar el índice de inmediatez y el Factor de Impacto (IF) de sus revistas, además, SciELO España e IBECS han supuesto un fuerte empuje de visibilidad nacional e internacional de las publicaciones de ciencias de la salud españolas, este último, al utilizar MeSH-DeCS como herramienta de búsqueda al igual que las bases de datos bibliográficas internacionales MEDLINE y LILACS. Conclusiones: Las principales plataformas OA (DOAJ, PLoS, PUBMED, BioMed Central y SciELO) dan acceso a un importante número de publicaciones con IF-ISI reconocido y permiten incrementar su índice de inmediatez y su IF-ISI. Gran parte de publicaciones OA incorporan alguna herramienta 2.0. La sociedad de la información puede ayudar a incrementar el nivel de desarrollo de muchos países en vías de desarrollo pero también puede incrementar la brecha digital en países que no tienen fácil acceso a las TIC. La necesidad constante de alfabetización digital por parte del individuo, supone el riesgo de nuevo de analfabetización de una parte de la población general y de la comunidad científica que se pueda quedar al margen de la integración.

Abstract:
The PhD work aligns technological opportunities with self-selecting motivated participants, investigating their desire to monitor wildlife within their custody. It used an ethnographic and user- centred design approach with amateur beekeepers. The work built reciprocal interest in data which users could gather from self-assembled monitoring tools. This PhD explores the relationship between Open Design and Citizen Science, testing it ‘in-the-wild’ through the Bee Lab kit. The development of the kit and territory research was carried out in close collaboration with a local beekeeping community based in the South East of England. The work engaged with the British Beekeepers Association (BBKA), a Citizen Science stakeholder and technology provider Technology Will Save Us (TWSU), informing the project at each stage. The PhD territory was highlighted in scoping design workshops with the public (Phillips. R, Baurley. S, Silve. S) and developed into: cultural probes deployed nationally investigating beekeepers’ ‘making’ activities (Phillips. R, Baurley. S, Silve. S 2013b), ethnographic studies identifying beekeepers’ product creations and re-appropriations for beekeeping praxis, participatory design workshops establishing lay users’ ‘technologically enabled conversations with bees’ (Phillips. R, Ford. Y, Sadler. K, Silve. S, Baurley. S 2013), technology kit assembly workshops testing kit design and competence of lay users (Phillips, Blum et al. 2014), and mental models of creating instructional content (Phillips, Robert., Lockton, Dan., Baurley, Sharon & Silve, Sarah 2013).

Abstract:
El objetivo principal de esta tesis doctoral es describir y analizar un conjunto de parámetros que permita un acercamiento al análisis y caracterización de los modelos de negocio de las revistas científicas españolas, así como explorar la existencia de una estructura subyacente en los datos que pueda contribuir a su clasificación. Desde una visión del concepto de modelo de negocio que incluye componentes de las dimensiones económico-financiera, operativa y estratégica de la actividad editorial, la investigación se desarrolló partiendo de una encuesta distribuida a 1.280 editores de revistas científicas españolas incluidas en la base de datos Dulcinea obteniendo una tasa de respuesta del 43% (n=561). Se aplicaron varias técnicas de investigación que han permitido explorar posibles correlaciones, realizar un análisis de reconocimiento estadístico de patrones basado en un análisis de conglomerados, y profundizar en las opiniones de los encuestados sobre el acceso abierto a través de un análisis cualitativo. Éstas han facilitado, en primer lugar, la identificación de las principales fuentes de financiación evidenciando que los ingresos percibidos a través de suscripciones institucionales están positivamente relacionados con el resultado económico, y que las revistas científicas universitarias se caracterizan por una marcada dependencia de las subvenciones de la administración pública y de las ayudas de la entidad propietaria. En segundo lugar han puesto de relieve cómo la mayoría de las revistas carece de una estructura organizativa estable y depende, en gran parte, del trabajo voluntario. En tercer lugar, los editores han valorado mayoritariamente de manera positiva su experiencia sobre el acceso abierto a la producción científica, si bien con reservas que limitan su consolidación. Finalmente, el análisis de conglomerados ha permitido detectar cuatro conglomerados con patrones comunes diferenciados en los modelos de negocio.
The main objective of this dissertation is to describe and analyze a set of parameters that allow an approach to the analysis and characterization of the business models of Spanish scientific journals, as well as to explore the existence of an underlying data structure that can contribute to their classification. From a vision of the concept of business model that includes components of the economic and financial, operational and strategic dimensions of publishing, research was developed from a survey of 1,280 publishers of Spanish scientific journals included in the Dulcinea database, obtaining a response rate of 43% (n = 561). Several research techniques used have allowed exploring possible correlations, to carry out an analysis of statistical pattern recognition based on a cluster analysis, and deepen the views of respondents on the open access through a qualitative analysis. As a first result, these have allowed to identify the main financing sources showing that the income received through institutional subscriptions are positively related to the economic performance, and that the academic journals are characterized by a marked dependence on public administration subsidies and the support of the journal's holder entity. Secondly, the results have showed that most journals lack a stable organizational structure and depend largely on volunteer work. Thirdly, the majority of publishers have positively valued their experience on open access to scientific production, although with some reservation that limits their consolidation. Finally, a cluster analysis has detected four clusters with common patterns in different business models.

This work reports a set of activities developed under didactic proposal based on teaching by inquiry in an open laboratory with a group of high school students from a State School of Paraná, Brazil. In these activities the students evaluated, through a sequence of questions, basic concepts about electricity through the construction of circuits with lamps as resistors and other materials of easy access. The approach used is analternative to the traditional approach based on the use of chalk board and chalk. Aims to verify the contributions of a didactic proposal based on research teaching for the conceptual evolution on electricity in high school students. The research under taken was of a qualitative approach of applied nature with exploratory objectives and, as far as the procedural basis, it was figured as an action research. The data collection instruments were pieces that presented questions to be answered in consonance with the stages of teaching by research in open laboratory recommended in the literature. The observation of there action of the students to the situations to which they were exposed demonstrated that the proposal is motivating, because the students carry out the activities with enthusiasm and curiosity. It also demonstrated that previous ideas were built, reaching a deeper degree of elaboration than their previous conceptions. The evidence of learning, such as the level of elaboration of concepts and the use of specific terms in written argumentative interactions, evidences that the proposal was effective for the conceptual evolution on electrodynamics for the screen group.

Abstract:
The diploma thesis addresses the issue of open data in relation to the scientific field of Competitive Intelligence. The focus is primarily on assessing the impact of open data in connection with the corporate sector and the number of obstacles that arise when obtaining data made accessible by the public sector. The main objective of the work is to provide the reader with clear information about the level of development of the public sector and the perception of openness by the corporate environment on a national and international scale, and the positive and negative impacts that accompany the process of opening the data. This, therefore, helps to acquire complex knowledge of the development and current level of the open data initiative. The objective was achieved by exploring the environment and conducting a survey in the corporate segment of small and medium-size companies engaged in software development, which via the applications they created, became notional propagators of the idea of public sector openness among ordinary citizens. Researched and obtained information, along with the conducted survey and questionnaire, as well as an analysis of the PESTLE environment - thus resulting in discovering the circumstances that influence the development of the issue of open data in the public sector and the possibility of their use by the private sector - provide the major contribution to this thesis. The first part of this thesis deals with the basic terms and principles of the examined sector, including a detailed description of various frameworks and the mutual relationships between the terms. The following part adds some information from the legislative environment on a national scale and outlines the issue of open licenses and the relations between them. The next part of this diploma thesis offers a closer look into the field of open data, principles of disclosure, life-cycle, benefits and the risks that accompany this initiative. Finally, to make the thesis complete, a few examples were added. The final part of the thesis includes a discussion on the impact of open data on the corporate sector in relation to the CI sector and an analysis of the attitudes of the corporate sector towards the level of openness of the public sector by conducting a questionnaire survey. The result of the analysis includes the findings on the attitudes, conditions and needs of the corporate sector towards the public sector in regard to access to open agendas. The data obtained can, for example, be used as supporting material for further investigation.

Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the influence of open innovation practices in the performance of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Increasingly, SMEs have a more relevant role in the economy. Not surprisingly, both academics and policymakers are devoting time and resources to their study, promoting them as key drivers for economic growth and the consolidation of local and regional economies (Ayandibu & Houghton 2017; Zafar & Mustafa 2017; Ormazabal et al. 2018; Yun et al. 2019; Yun & Liu, 2019). This thesis contributes to this stream of the literature with new evidence by means of three independent, yet interconnected studies. In a globalised and dynamic world, SMEs strive to survive. They do not only have to compete for a market share with large corporations, but also have to ensure they generate revenues, being financially sustainable (Oke et al., 2007; Bayarçelik et al., 2014). To achive this goal, innovation becomes a must-do strategy. The marketplace is characterized by an offer that is larger than the demand, where the consumer has the final say. Within this context, companies need to focus all their efforts very well and anticipate to customer’s needs, offering products and/or services that meet their expectations. Although investments in R&D are typically linked to substantial economic efforts (Battaglia et al. 2018; Booltink y SakaHelmhout 2018; Colclough et al., 2019), in recent years, the paradigm of open innovation has appeared as an alternative and a more attractive solution. Open innovation combines the internal knowledge of a company with ideas and opportunities from the outside. The introduction of open innovation practices in a company requires changes in the business model, ensuring a proper alignment at the strategic, operational and organizational levels. Likewise, an active network with other agents of the ecosystem (e.g., other companies, suppliers, research institution, universities, public adminsitration) are necessary in order to exchange information, so that the final result is greater than the sum of the individual parts. Although the literature on open innovation is extensive, its specific application in SMEs is limited. In fact, most of the principles of open innovation have been studied in large corporations. SMEs have a more flexible structure and their decision-making processes are shorter (Lee et al., 2010), henceforth, it should be easier for them to adapt and incorporate new practices. Research in this direction is still scarce with existing studies providing inconclusive results (Hossain and Anees-ur-Rehman, 2016; Wikhamn et al., 2016). Accordingly, new studies are necessary to shed new light on how this type of businesses are adopting the principles of open innovation, the benefits it brings to the firms, the impact in their performance and the challenges ahead. This dissertation addresses the above issues by means of three independent that are highly related but delve into this topic from different perspectives. The first study (article 1) scrutinizes the existing literature on open innovation in SMEs, offering a complete and updated picture of the main contributions of the academic world on this subject. The second study (article 2) builds upon the first article, and investigates how the business model is modified as a result of the introduction of open innovation practices in the company as well as the impact on the performance. A multiple case study is conducted to answer these questions. Finally, the third study (article 3), complements the previous by adopting a causal complexity approach. Specifically, this article examines the combined effect of open innovation practices, the own characteristics of the company and its innovation strategy. The ultimate goal is to unveil the underlying patterns that SMEs can follow to remain competitive in the marketplace. The thesis ends with the discussion of the main conclusions and implications, which are expected to help SMEs to make better strategic decisions that minimize their potential risks and maximize the use of their resources. Indications for future research avenues are outlined at the end of this dissertation
Esta tesis tiene por objetivo investigar cómo las prácticas de innovación abierta en las pequeñas y medianas empresas (pymes) influyen su rendimiento. Cada vez más, dichas empresas tienen un papel más relevante en la economía. No es de extrañar que tanto académicos como los organismos encargados de definir políticas legales y económicas dediquen recursos y programas a su estudio e impulso para asegurar su presencia y consolidación en el tejido productivo del territorio (Ayandibu y Houghton 2017; Zafar y Mustafa 2017; Ormazabal et al. 2018; Yun et al. 2019; Yun y Liu, 2019). Esta tesis aporta nuevas evidencias a esta realidad a través de tres estudios. En un contexto cada vez más global y dinámico, las pymes deben también competir para posicionarse en el mercado, pero al mismo tiempo luchar para ser financieramente rentables (Oke et al., 2007; Bayarçelik et al., 2014). En este punto, innovar se convierte en una obligación más que en una opción. Los mercados se caracterizan por una oferta muy amplia, donde el consumidor tiene la última palabra. Por ello, las empresas deben focalizar muy bien sus esfuerzos y poder anticiparse a las necesidades de los clientes, ofreciéndoles productos/servicios que cubran sus expectativas. Si bien la inversión en I+D+i acostumbra a venir acompañada de importantes esfuerzos económicos (Battaglia et al. 2018; Booltink y Saka-Helmhout 2018; Colclough et al., 2019), en los últimos años, la innovación abierta se presenta como una solución más atractiva, que combina el conocimiento interno de la propia empresa con ideas y oportunidades del exterior. Introducir prácticas de innovación abierta requiere de cambios en el modelo de negocio de una empresa, asegurando así un correcto alineamiento a nivel estratégico, operativo y organizativo. Así mismo, se necesita de una red activa con los demás agentes del ecosistema (e.g., otras empresas, proveedores, centros de investigación, universidades, administración pública, etc.) para interaccionar y compartir información, de manera que el resultado final sea mayor que la suma individual de las partes. Si bien la literatura sobre innovación abierta es extensa, su aplicación concreta en las pymes es limitada. De hecho, la mayoría de los principios de innovación abierta se han estudiado en las grandes empresas. Sin embargo, las pymes tienen una estructura interna más flexible y los procesos de decisión son más cortos (Lee et al., 2010), por lo que teóricamente deberían estar más bien equipadas para adaptarse e incorporar nuevas prácticas. A parte de incipiente, la literatura no es concluyente en este aspecto (Hossain y Anees-ur-Rehman, 2016; Wikhamn et al., 2016), siendo necesarios nuevos estudios sobre cómo esta tipología de empresas está adoptando los principios de la innovación abierta, los beneficios que les aporta, los retos que les supone y su impacto en el desempeño global de la empresa. Esta tesis aborda las cuestiones anteriores a través de tres estudios independientes, pero a su vez, altamente relacionadas que ahondan en esta temática desde distintas perspectivas. En un primer estudio (artículo 1), se analiza la literatura existente sobre innovación abierta en pymes, ofreciendo una fotografía completa y actualizada sobre las principales aportaciones del mundo académico sobre esta temática. El segundo estudio (artículo 2), partiendo de la revisión anterior e incidiendo en unas de las líneas de investigación detectadas, se investiga cómo se modifica el modelo de negocio al introducir prácticas de innovación abierta, y su impacto en el desempeño de la empresa. Para ello se realiza un estudio de casos. Por último, el tercer estudio (artículo 3), complementa los dos anteriores, ofreciendo un nuevo punto de vista: el efecto combinado entre las prácticas de innovación abierta, las características de la propia empresa y su estrategia de innovación. El objetivo último es el de determinar distintos patrones que pueden seguir las pymes para mantener un buen desempeño empresarial según sus características. La tesis finaliza con la discusión de las principales conclusiones e implicaciones, las cuales se espera que ayuden a las pymes a tomar mejores decisiones estratégicas que minimicen sus posibles riesgos y optimicen la utilización de sus recursos. Se añaden al final indicaciones para futuras líneas de investigación en este campo.

Abstract:
L’État haïtien, pour faire face à l’insécurité alimentaire que connaît sa population (à croissance rapide et à faible revenu), s’appuie particulièrement sur la Vallée du département de l’Artibonite qui constitue depuis toujours le véritable grenier agricole du pays, en fournissant, à elle seule, plus de 80% de la production rizicole nationale. Cette production agricole assure non seulement les besoins alimentaires de la population locale, mais également ceux particuliers des départements voisins (Ouest, Nord et Centre).L’irrigation de cette vaste plaine agricole (32400 ha de terres agricoles irrigables) est garantie, à plus de 75%, par le réseau d’irrigation établi en rive Gauche de l'ouvrage-partiteur de Canneau, alimenté par un Canal principal (CMRG) ayant un débit nominal de 40 m3/s.Néanmoins, ce Partiteur, source d’approvisionnement exclusive du CMRG, est lui-même régulé par le Barrage-réservoir de Péligre qui se trouve à 70 km plus en amont sur le fleuve de l’Artibonite. En termes hydrauliques, nos travaux ont d'abord examiné la situation du réservoir de Péligre. Alors qu'au moment de la construction il était initialement prévu d’y stocker 607 Mm3, il ne reste plus aujourd'hui qu'à peine 40% de cette capacité utile, en raison des dépôts sédimentaires qui se sont constitués année après année derrière le barrage.Cette sédimentation spectaculaire (due à l’érosion des bassins versants amont fort dégradés), combinée aux déficits pluviométriques, provoque en période d’étiage une rareté d’eau, des lâchers insuffisants et donc des déficits en eau utile envoyée en amont de ce Partiteur de Canneau. Cela impacte significativement le réseau d’irrigation aval, dont le CMRG. Nos travaux ont montré que la situation est d'autant plus critique que les débits eux-mêmes, en amont comme en aval du Partiteur, sont en fait très mal connus et devraient faire l'objet d'approches méthodologiques plus rigoureuses que celles déployées sur site actuellement.Aussi, face à ces constats, de nouvelles règles de distribution de l’eau s’imposent, pour continuer à irriguer et espérer obtenir un rendement agricole acceptable (souhaitable).Notre travail s'est ainsi donné pour objectif de contribuer à la mise en place des nouvelles règles de gestion de l’eau (répartition) au sein du réseau d’irrigation alimenté par le CMRG, pour continuer à fournir l’eau à l’irrigant en quantité acceptable (et connue). Cette amélioration de gestion a été envisagée à la fois en amont et en aval de ce réseau d’irrigation, particulièrement en ses différents nœuds-clés (Canal principal et Canal secondaire).La démarche méthodologique adoptée pour relever ce défi majeur s’appuie notamment sur un système d’information hydro-morpho-sédimentaire actualisé et de qualité. Il s’agit d’une base de données, riche en observations de hauteurs d’eau (lues aux stations limnimétriques), vitesses de surface au flotteur, champs de vitesse explorés au moyen d’un courantomètre et en données bathymétriques et granulométriques des tronçons des canaux étudiés, appréciées respectivement au moyen d’un GPS différentiel et du tamisage à sec.Les résultats fort encourageants obtenus permettent d'acquérir une meilleure compréhension du système et une amélioration particulière du réseau d’irrigation en rive gauche du Partiteur de Canneau. En s’appuyant sur les historiques de sédimentation du Lac-réservoir de Péligre (de 1960 à 2016), nous présentons un document de synthèse sur la sédimentation du Lac-réservoir de Péligre. Ce document met notamment en exergue le taux de sédimentation sévère de ce dernier (5.47 Mm3/an), qui continue d’augmenter encore aujourd’hui, ainsi que les conséquences de celui-ci sur les débits turbinés et la disponibilité de l’eau en amont du Partiteur de Canneau.Nous mettons également en évidence les formes irrégulières (Lit-non prismatique) des tronçons des canaux étudiés, via une vue axonométrique des profils en travers (issus de l’étude bathymétrique) des canaux d’irrigation en terre battue étudiés. Puis, nous présentons de manière détaillée le caractère très hétérogène des dépôts sédimentaires de ces derniers, à partir d’une analyse des représentations en Log-Probit des résultats du tamisage, construites au moyen du logiciel GrandPlots.En nous appuyant sur les mesures expérimentales des contraintes de Reynolds et des profils instantanés de vitesse (pris à intervalle de 64 ms), tirés de la base de données EPFL, nous avons montré qu’il faut absolument travailler dans les 18% inférieurs de la colonne d’eau (z/h<0.18) et en mode déficitaire, dans un écoulement turbulent comme celui-là, pour extraire de façon représentative et pertinente une pente expérimentale u*/, comme indicateur de u*.À l’issue d’un examen détaillé de la distribution verticale de la vitesse au canal secondaire FNE, nous validons un DMLWL (Dip-Modified-log-wake-law) à la fois en amont et en aval du réseau. Nous montrons que ceci permet de modéliser le Dip-phenomenon observé systématiquement au sein des profils explorés in situ. Nous proposons une relation entre le coefficient d’inégale répartition de la vitesse à la verticale αv (de Prony) et l’aspect ratio (W/h) pour tout le réseau d’irrigation étudié ;ceci afin d’obtenir une vitesse débitante (Ū), simplement à partir d’une prise de vitesse au flotteur, dans l’axe central d’écoulement.À partir des débits quantifiés à la section de référence du CMRG, via l’équation de continuité (Q=AŪ), nous fournissons un Abaque, diagramme à 3 entrées (débit (Qp), charge amont (H0) et ouverture de vanne (hv)), permettant aux vanniers de connaitre les débits au pont de fer correspondant aux différentes ouvertures de vanne et celui pour lequel le trop-plein (retour des eaux excédentaires vers le fleuve de l’Artibonite) commence à fonctionner.À l’égard des opérateurs locaux et gestionnaires du système, nous mettons enfin à disposition, des méthodes/outils simples et efficaces leur permettant de quantifier finement le débit au Canal principal en amont ainsi qu’au canal secondaire en aval, simplement à partir d’une mesure de hauteur d’eau (h) et de vitesse de surface au flotteur (Us).

Biotechnology is one of the most promising emerging technologies. The characters of biotechnology are long time in R&D, huge amount of capital, and lots of law restrictions. How a Taiwan bio-tech start-up company get sufficient amount of capital and keep the operation of a startup company in Taiwan that has no sufficient amount of capital is what we concern about. The purpose of this study was to explore the key factors that influence Taiwanese bio-tech start-up companies’ chances of success. In this study, six bio-tech start-up companies that were being incubated by the Open Labs of Industrial Technologies Research Institute (ITRI) in Taiwan have been interviewed. Combined with industrial analysis and case study, the study found out biotechnology industry in Taiwan should focus in nich market like bio-chips, generic drugs, and orphan drugs. Those bio-tech start-up companies less than three years in existence emphasized technology as the key success factor. While bio-tech companies more than three years in existence emphasized capital and marketing as the two key success factors. The study also concluded that the entrepreneur really plays a key role in gathering a strong technical team and successfully soliciting capital investment from investors.

The firm of 2018 must not only remain agile in its innovative offerings, but must also recognise trends of peer-to-peer sharing, which begs the question: where do utility providers envision their business models amidst new demands to remain innovative in the new wave of collaborative consumption? If providing consumers with products via innovative services is the new currency upon which a firm is to be valued, then the extent of potential streams of innovation research available to a firm ought never be underestimated. Through a comprehensive analysis of the firm and the DNA of its open innovation ecosystem as well as a thorough investigation into the objectives driving Living Labs, we begin to discuss the feasibility of the Living Lab as a potential addition to the ecosystem of the firm in context.

Education is now more widely available than ever before. In a great part, this is due to the usage of digital tools, applications and online services by students and teachers. In fact, the Internet has hugely increased the availability of educational resources and also prompted additional collaboration and cooperation among institutions and among countries. Today, active learning methods offer several techniques that have been adopted by teachers to bring efficient learning experiences for the students. Learning by doing promotes successful learning by providing varied experiences to the students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields. In addition, with continued practice, the students learn the contents of lessons and develop their skills by using all available resources. This leads to effective learning and effective acquisition of knowledge, and helps in building a strong relationship among students and between them and their teachers. In recent decades, instructional technologies have supported higher education systems well. They have offered several active learning methods to institutions, for instance online labs. Several projects in online labs area are being done worldwide, at present. Generally, the supporting idea of online labs is to offer additional access to remote experiments to students in different disciplines, 24/7 without substantial increase in cost per student around the world and especially in countries with limited resources. Moreover, they allow students to spend more time on experiments and increase their ability and skills through a simple computer connected to the Internet. This study focuses on the higher education systems in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. It discusses the level of collaboration and cooperation work among researchers in this region, particularly in online labs fields. It offers new perspectives and new ways to increase that work by creating the Community of Practices (CoP) around online labs and also by promoting the idea of federation new and existing online labs.
O ensino é, hoje em dia, mais acessível à generalidade da população mundial do que em qualquer momento do passado. Isso deve-se, em grande parte, à utilização de ferramentas digitais, de aplicações informáticas e de serviços online, pelos professores e pelos estudantes. Com efeito, a Internet fez aumentar imenso a disponibilidade de recursos educativos e, simultaneamente, proporcionou o desenvolvimento dos intercâmbios e das colaborações entre as instituições de ensino superior e entre os diversos países. As várias técnicas que integram os métodos de ensino ativo têm vindo a ser adotadas progressivamente pelos professores, dessa maneira proporcionando aos estudantes percursos de aprendizagem mais aliciantes e mais profícuos. Aprender fazendo promove o sucesso na aprendizagem por via da realização de experiências práticas nos vários domínios da Ciência, Tecnologia, Engenharia e Matemática. Além do que, dessa maneira os estudantes assimilam os conteúdos programáticos e desenvolvem as suas capacidades, atingindo mais eficazmente os objetivos do estudo. Isto conduz a uma aprendizagem mais conseguida e a uma real aquisição de conhecimentos, fomentando, ao mesmo tempo, um relacionamento mais forte entre estudantes e também entre estudantes e professores. Nas últimas décadas, o funcionamento das instituições do ensino superior tem vindo a apoiar-se cada vez mais nas tecnologias de ensino. Entre as diversas tecnologias que foram adotadas, contam-se os laboratórios online. Existem, atualmente, diversos projetos neste domínio, com vasta cobertura. Resumidamente, a visão dos promotores dos laboratórios online é proporcionar aos estudantes das diversas disciplinas acesso remoto a experiências práticas, 24 horas por dia. Isto deve ser conseguido sem que as instituições de ensino superior tenham de incorrer em gastos substanciais, de modo a possibilitar a adoção dos laboratórios online por países que atravessem dificuldades económicas. Com os laboratórios online, os estudantes têm oportunidade de realizar mais experiências do que realizariam de outro modo e, assim, desenvolver mais eficazmente as suas capacidades científicas e tecnológicas. E isso conseguir-se-á por via de um simples computador ligado à Internet. O presente estudo centra-se nos sistemas de ensino superior dos países do Médio Oriente e do Norte de África, em inglês, Middle East and North Africa, MENA. Analisamos, em particular, o nível de colaboração existente entre os investigadores desta região, no domínio dos laboratórios online, e propomos novas perspetivas para o desenvolvimento do trabalho desses investigadores, por meio de da criação de uma comunidade de prática (em inglês community of practice) sobre o tema dos laboratórios online. Adicionalmente, propomos a criação de uma federação de laboratórios online, que agrupará laboratórios dispersos pelo mundo, já existentes ou a criar, assim facilitando a sua utilização à escala mundial.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the interplay between national copyright and patent laws, and informal user generated norms in the governance of open source bioinformatics projects. Bioinformatics describes an interdisciplinary merger between computer science, statistics and molecular biology for quantitative biology analysis. As for many computationally driven scientific fields, there is a strong initiative both by researchers inside and outside the field to encourage collaborative research through open source software and data licensing. However, a trend towards seeking exclusive copyright and patent protection for bioinformatics algorithms could foster exclusivity and discourage collaboration in bioinformatics. Whether this effect exists within bioinformatics research, and if so is best resolved through national copyright and patent reform or private ordering strategies (which are already present through open source licensing) is a matter of open debate. This thesis explores these issues using a mixed methods, grounded theory framework that compares open licensing of bioinformatics software across the US, the EU, Australia and New Zealand. This framework operates on three levels: firstly, with a doctrinal analysis of copyright and patent laws (as well as related sui generis rights for data compilations); secondly, with a quantitative analysis of patent applications in bioinformatics and forward citation rates for patent publication pairs to determine whether the grant of these patents has a negative effect on citation rates; and thirdly, through semi-structured interviewing of bioinformaticians who release open source software and also seek patent protection. Each of these layers of analysis reveals that national patent laws do not appear to have a significant effect on the formation and governance of open source bioinformatics communities, but law reform targeted at encouraging private ordering strategies through copyright licensing might have a positive effect. This thesis concludes by offering recommendations on assessing how private ordering strategies in open source bioinformatics can be improved to encourage collaborative research.

In 2005, after EU promoted the concept of Living Lab, Living Labs have been set up in numerous countries and already gone through three generations. The core value of Living Lab is to improve and increase the insight of R&;D transfers , and to make the latest scientific and technological achievements turn into practical applications. Living Lab applies collective wisdoms and creativities to provide opportunities, address social issues, and emphasize the human-oriented, user-centered and co-innovation function. Moreover, Living Lab is devoted to develop a user-centric and the open innovative community which cooperated with government, enterprises, and research institutions. This study established a framework to illustrate Living Lab on user innovation and open innovation perspectives and describes the key element for setting a innovative Living Lab. In the conclusion of this paper, most of the projects on Living Lab that initiated by planning agencies would take more user feedbacks as the basis for their solutions, and there would be more opportunities to cooperate with external resources. Thus, there are more elements of user innovation and open innovation that would help to promote innovation in the above described Living Lab. Using ITRI and III as case studies, the results provide good references for city planning and help to build self-sustaining ecosystems in many areas. In addition, if enterprises adopt Living Lab, it would accelerate the process of improving products and strengthen the unique advantages of ICT industry in Taiwan.

Abstract:
The university libraries evolve in the activities they carry out, most of these changes are generated by the use of ICT, one of these processes is the development of collections. In this context, university libraries and information professionals face new challenges, integrating digital resources into collections. An alternative to achieve access to electronic resources, without consuming part of the budget of the library, is the integration of Open Access documents. The main objective of this research was to demonstrate the situation of the repositories of public Higher Education Institutions, considering them as a resource that favors the use of digital collections, taking into account the process of traditional collections development; positioning libraries in their communities and collaborating to fulfill the essential functions of universities (teaching, research and dissemination of culture). The results were generated from the qualitative descriptive analysis in which the characteristics are considered from a comparison matrix, defined by the Fushimi Model versus the IFLA Model, among the platforms developed in OA (Redalyc, SciELO, Latindex and GREDOS). The analytical method was applied to the results obtained, which allowed defining if they meet the requirements that are foreseen; as the comparative method, where they are confronted establishing similarities and differences, through the Fushimi Model versus the IFLA Model. With this research it is possible to establish and apply criteria that allow the evaluation of digital collections.

Looking at the two major cyber attacks of the 2016 Mirai virus and the 2018 "Eternal Blue", they all exploited the weakness of the “Weak Password” and invaded the home network. The “Weak Password” has been classified by the OWASP organization in the “Identity Authentication Failure” risk of 2017 TOP10. The purpose of this study aims to propose an effective training method for information security technology. The plan is to use a two-stage short-term training method, and we focus on designing the “Identity Authentication Failure” risk-related technical course to enable trainers to understand the relevant fields of expertise and technology. This study integrates the CTFd platform and OWASP Juice Shop as a learning and testing system to enhance the learning interest and practical ability of trainers, thereby enhancing the quality of the overall information staff. Our study divides students into “experimental group” and “control group”. The online teaching materials and CTFd platform are used for learning and practice. The two-stage academic performance, test scores and questionnaire results are implemented to verify the short-term training effectiveness and student group learning differences. The experimental results show that the design and implementation of this study have achieved good results.
