Full textAbstract:
A huge number of SCANIA trucks and busses are running on the roads. Unlike the trucks and buses of the past, they are hi-tech vehicles, carrying a lot of technical and operational information that pertains to different aspects like load statistics, driving time, engine-speed over time and much more. This information is fed into an analysis system where it is organized to support analytical questions. Over the period of time this system has become overloaded and needs to be optimized. There are a number of areas identified that can be considered for improvement. However, it is not possible to analyze the whole system within the given constraints. A subset is picked which has been thought of to be sufficient for the purpose of the thesis. The system takes a lot of time to load new data. Data loading is not incremental. There is a lot of redundancy in the storage structure. Query execution takes a lot of time in some parts of the database. The methods chosen for this thesis includes data warehouse design and architecture analysis, end user queries review, and code analysis. A potential solution is presented to reduce the storage space requirements and maintenance time taken by the databases. This is achieved by presenting a solution to reduce the number of databases maintained in parallel and contains duplicated data. Some optimizations have been made in the storage structure and design to improve the query processing time for the end users. An example incremental loading strategy is also implemented to demonstrate the working and idea. This helps in the reduction of loading time. Moreover, An investigation has been made into a commercially available Data warehouse management System. The investigation is mostly based on hardware architecture and how it can contributes to better performance. This portion is only theoretical. Based on the analysis recommendations are made regarding the architecture and design of the data warehouse.

Full textAbstract:
Living in the Information Age, organisations must be able to exploit their data alongside the traditional economic resources of man, machine and money. Accordingly, organisations implement data warehouses to organise and consolidate their data, which creates a decision support system that is “subject oriented”, “time variant”, “integrated” and “non-volatile”. However, the organisation's ability to successfully exploit their data is determined by the degree of strategic alignment. As such, this study poses the question: how can a data warehouse be successfully and demonstrably aligned to an organisation's strategic objectives? This thesis demonstrates that strategic alignment can be achieved by following a new "top down" data warehouse implementation framework, the Configuration Approach, which is based upon determining an organisation's target configuration. This was achieved by employing Miles and Snow's Ideal Types to formulate a questionnaire that reveals an organisation's target configuration in terms of its approach to the Entrepreneurial, Administration and Information Systems challenges. Crucially, this thesis also provides the means to choose a data warehouse architecture that is wholly based on the organisation's target configuration. The Configuration Approach was evaluated using a single case study undergoing a period of strategic transformation where the implementation of a data warehouse was key to its strategic ambitions. The case study illustrated how it is possible to articulate an organisation's strategic configuration, which becomes the key driver for building a warehouse that demonstrably supports the resolution of its Entrepreneurial and Administration challenges. Significantly, the case study also provides a unique opportunity to demonstrate how the target configuration helps organisations to make the right choice of data warehouse architecture to satisfy the Information Systems challenge. In this case, the Configuration Approach provides a basis for challenging the architectural choices made by a consultancy on behalf of the participating organisation. Accordingly, it can be asserted that data warehouses are strategic investments, if implemented using the Configuration Approach.

This thesis studies the creation of a series of forms to provoke physical sensations and emotional responses from the user. Designs were made that strengthened the meaning of the forms, and the emotional responses they illicit in relation to a sequence of physical experiences of form and space. This sequence was abstracted from the Greek myth of Eros and Psyche. To do this the thesis uses a family of forms, a directional form for movement, their material and structural qualities, and the inter-relationships established between each of these and with the site. The site is a set of three adjoining warehouse buildings on the East Boston waterfront. The major body of the text describes what I produced. This includes the introduction, which describes the formal considerations that are present in the final model. Next, a photographic essay describes the final model. The photographs lead the reader through the built sequence of events. The two parts that the thesis built on are then described: the myth, which is retold as reference for the previous experience and to help explain the genesis of the creation, and the site which is described. With the site description, the intervention is described in plan and the parts are exhibited.The last section of the thesis describes the process by which I moved from the myth and the site, into drawings, and through to the final model.

Conceptually re-defining the role of a 100-year-old waterfront brick and timber warehouse structure, it is turned inside-out : interior becomes path. Programmatic functions imitate the physical characteristics of a conceptual dichotomy set in motion by the creation of two sides to the 'path'. Program ranges from flexible and transitional to static and massive, and is laid out laterally along the proposed line. Specific program elements become, relatively, physical archive and digital exhibition space. Denying the over-preserved role of distinct and bound artifact, the old structure attempts animation. The structural patterns of the original warehouse form the armature (interior grid) against which differences are registered. There is no longer bounding geometry but an interplay of landscape and transitional spaces - this is not a 'marker' or symbolic monument but a reconciliation between monumental artifact, material memory, and pattern via path. Traditionally static boundaries are re-interpreted as inverted and fluctuating zones that provide for new forms of spatial, programmatic, and aesthetic engagement.

Full textAbstract:
This Master Thesis work is about the rebirth of a warehouse, once part of Innocenti S.p.A. Located in the district of Lambrate, Milano, the factory used to cover an area of nearly 800.000 sqm back in the Nineties, it nowadays presents itself as a fragmented scenario. This work aims to be a testimony of the past, by first showing all the available official materials that were recovered right before everything shut down. As a second part, it suggests a proposal for one of the most iconic buildings left to a state of complete abandonment and self extinction: the warehouse now known as the Crystal Palace because of its present conditions. Accepting the conditions of one thing and enhancing them in a programmatic way, is probably a solution for dealing with our industrial archaeology, for an innovative, engaging and sustainable approach. An extension of the already existing park finds a new place under the original roof structure. In order to integrate the project in the surrounds from a sociological point of view, the community will be provided with new spaces for exhibition galleries and, moreover, the city of Milano will benefit of the first botanical garden in history.

The Freight Warehouse Architecture Studio is adjacent to Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. Although designed as an adaptive reuse, it is a direct result of two things: a reading of Eisenman's Koizumi Project and working in the office for a few weeks immediately proceeding commencement on the studio. The reading was the onset of the theory necessary for the study, and the experience in the office offered the opportunity to establish the direction for the project.
The question of culture, understanding, and reading yields the question of the reconciliation of personal history and community history, how an architect intervenes in a location fraught with tradition. As a result, there is "a condition of a space evolving from within, not an insertion, from without.... So what is interesting about this space is we set up the mechanism of interplay, but we did not know what was going to happen. In other words, I am not saying it is a beautiful design.... In a sense it is mediated because the hand of design is taken away..."Master of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
Data warehouse (DW) solutions are becoming increasingly popular to implement in different organizations. There are a variety of motivational factors for activities to acquire DW, among other things, it helps with analyzes and decision making in the business to gain for an example competitiveness. DW projects are expensive projects that require a lot of resources from the organization side. However, more and more DW projects fail and are not optimal for business purposes. Before the organization implements a DW, it is important to choose architecture based on, i.e. a data model for how data is stored and structured in the DW. The two dominant architecture models are top-down as Inmon presented in the 90s and bottom-up who Kimball introduced after Inmon announced his model. Both Inmon and Kimball have their own philosophies and models for how a DW solution should be model. Organization dilemma is choosing one or the other performance. The choice depends on many factors and considerations. There are also significant philosophical debates, obstacles, also pros and cons for choice of the data warehouse architecture (Lawyer & Chowdhury, 2004). Therefore, this study should demonstrate which factors govern the choice of architecture using a literature study comparing these models. The result shows that Inmon's top-down approach handles factors like data quality, how data can be integrated from different source systems, flexibility, metadata management, and handle data sources and ETL better than Kimball's bottom-up approach. Kimball's architecture model focuses more on factors such as performance and end-user interaction. The results also show that the Kimball model is easier and faster to implement.Data warehouse (DW) lösningar blir allt mer populära att implementera hos verksamheter. Det finns en mängd motivationsfaktorer för verksamheter att inskaffa DW, bland annat att systemet hjälper med analyser och beslutsunderlag i verksamheten för att erhålla exempelvis konkurrenskraft. DW-projekt är dyra projekt som kräver en hel del resurs från verksamhets sida. Dock misslyckas allt fler sådana projekt och resulterar i att inte vara optimala för verksamhetsändamålen. Innan verksamheten implementerar ett DW är det viktigt att välja en arkitektur att utgå ifrån, alltså en datamodell för hur data ska lagras och struktureras i DW. De två dominerande arkitekturmodellerna är top-down som Inmon presenterade på 90-talet och bottom-up som Kimball introducerade efter att Inmon presenterat sin modell. Både Inmon och Kimball har sina egna filosofier och modeller för hur en DW-lösning ska se ut. Dilemmat för verksamheter handlar om att välja det ena eller det andra utförandet. Valet beror på många faktorer och överväganden. Det finns också betydande filosofiska debatter, hinder, och för-och nackdelar med valet av ett data warehouse arkitektur (Lawyer & Chowdhury, 2004).Följaktligen skall denna studie påvisa vilka faktorer som styr val av arkitektur genom att tillämpa en litteraturstudie där dessa modeller jämförs. Av resultatet framgår att Inmons top-down approach hanterar faktorer som datakvalitet, hur data kan integreras från olika källsystem, flexibilitet, metadatahantering samt att den hanterar datakällor och ETL på ett bättre sätt än Kimballs bottom-up approach. Kimballs arkitektursmodell fokuserar mer på faktorer som prestanda och slutanvändarinteraktion. Av resultatet framgår även att Kimballs modell implementeras enklare och snabbare.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) has become a significant part of modern life as it has improved human performance in the completion of daily tasks in using computerised systems. The increase in the variety of bio-sensing and wearable technologies on the market has propelled designers towards designing more efficient, effective and fully natural User-Interfaces (UI), such as the Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) and the Muscle-Computer Interface (MCI). BCI and MCI have been used for various purposes, such as controlling wheelchairs, piloting drones, providing alphanumeric inputs into a system and improving sports performance. Various challenges are experienced by workers in a warehouse environment. Because they often have to carry objects (referred to as hands-full) it is difficult to interact with traditional devices. Noise undeniably exists in some industrial environments and it is known as a major factor that causes communication problems. This has reduced the popularity of using verbal interfaces with computer applications, such as Warehouse Management Systems. Another factor that effects the performance of workers are action slips caused by a lack of concentration during, for example, routine picking activities. This can have a negative impact on job performance and allow a worker to incorrectly execute a task in a warehouse environment. This research project investigated the current challenges workers experience in a warehouse environment and the technologies utilised in this environment. The latest automation and identification systems and technologies are identified and discussed, specifically the technologies which have addressed known problems. Sensory technologies were identified that enable interaction between a human and a computerised warehouse environment. Biological and natural behaviours of humans which are applicable in the interaction with a computerised environment were described and discussed. The interactive behaviours included the visionary, auditory, speech production and physiological movement where other natural human behaviours such paying attention, action slips and the action of counting items were investigated. A number of modern sensory technologies, devices and techniques for HCI were identified with the aim of selecting and evaluating an appropriate sensory technology for MCI. iii MCI technologies enable a computer system to recognise hand and other gestures of a user, creating means of direct interaction between a user and a computer as they are able to detect specific features extracted from a specific biological or physiological activity. Thereafter, Machine Learning (ML) is applied in order to train a computer system to detect these features and convert them to a computer interface. An application of biomedical signals (bio-signals) in HCI using a MYO Armband for MCI is presented. An MCI prototype (MCIp) was developed and implemented to allow a user to provide input to an HCI, in a hands-free and hands-full situation. The MCIp was designed and developed to recognise the hand-finger gestures of a person when both hands are free or when holding an object, such a cardboard box. The MCIp applies an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to classify features extracted from the surface Electromyography signals acquired by the MYO Armband around the forearm muscle. The MCIp provided the results of data classification for gesture recognition to an accuracy level of 34.87% with a hands-free situation. This was done by employing the ANN. The MCIp, furthermore, enabled users to provide numeric inputs to the MCIp system hands-full with an accuracy of 59.7% after a training session for each gesture of only 10 seconds. The results were obtained using eight participants. Similar experimentation with the MYO Armband has not been found to be reported in any literature at submission of this document. Based on this novel experimentation, the main contribution of this research study is a suggestion that the application of a MYO Armband, as a commercially available muscle-sensing device on the market, has the potential as an MCI to recognise the finger gestures hands-free and hands-full. An accurate MCI can increase the efficiency and effectiveness of an HCI tool when it is applied to different applications in a warehouse where noise and hands-full activities pose a challenge. Future work to improve its accuracy is proposed.

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 209-213).
The focus of this design investigation is the warehouse fabric of the Fort Point Channel and its potentials as a model for further development This extensive configuration of warehouses and access roads is the product of an integrated process of planning. design and building. As such, it forms a useful model for creating a cohesive urban fabric. The warehouses reflect the rules of a concise architectural language. Thus, while each building was designed separately for different clients over the span of fifty years. all work together to form an urban environment which is intense. coherent and humane. Functionally, this fabric has undergone continuous change. Some of the warehouses now accommodate small printing houses and workshops; professional offices. shops, museums, studios and loft apartments. Thus. this tightly ordered 'family' of buildings has proven to be inherently inhabitable. The model represented by the warehouse fabric embodies my own goals and strategies for redeveloping and expanding the Fort Point Channel District as a living and working neighbourhood. My thesis proposes strategies for infrastructure and building typologies which will support high density, lowrise development as an extension to the existing fabric. The new development should be flexible, yet · harmonious: specific enough to suggest a distinct, overall character but open-ended enough to allow innovation in individual buildings and changing uses over time. The method tested through this investigation is therefore a process of layering. Rather than develop highly particularized solutions for each property, strategies are applied to the site as a whole. Once such overall strategies are agreed upon, specific solutions can be developed incrementally, but 'thematically', adjusting to changing circumstances as the need arises but contributing to a coherent whole.

In this diploma thesis I analyze data architecture and data marts in a bank area. Firstly I analyze different theoretical approaches to build the data warehouse. Consequently I specialize in operational and analytical data marts -- I analyze their business value, differences and location at the warehouse. In the third chapter I analyze reasons that have led to implement Asset Liability Management data mart. In the following chapter I analyze a life-cycle of this data mart not only from the technical point of view, but also from the project management perspective. The main benefit from this thesis is in the analysis of these aspects of ALM life cycle.

The thesis deals with banking data warehouse and the factors which influence their architecture. The goal of the thesis is to analyze the influence by fulfilling the three partial goals -- defining banks' requirements on data warehouses, analyzing a data warehouse in the real banking environment and making a comparison of the Czech banks' data warehouses. First, the thesis briefly introduces elements of business intelligence (BI) and data warehousing. Second, after deducing reasons for BI implementation in commercial banks, the requirements on data warehouse are synthesized and their impacts on the data warehouse architecture are analyzed. Finally, conclusions of the thesis are applied on creation of the survey which enables comparison of the Czech banks' data warehouses. The thesis applies the theory of relationship between BI maturity, requirements on BI and data warehouse architecture and creates a tool for evaluating and comparing the data warehouses of banks with respect to bank's BI maturity and predisposition for a particular architecture. The tool can serve as a basis for a general tool able to compare data warehouses in other branches of economy and can help to better understand relations between organizations' need for information, BI solutions used and underlying data warehouses.

Os sistemas de integração de dados que usam a arquitetura de data warehouse (DW) têm se tornado cada vez maiores e mais difíceis de gerenciar devido à crescente heterogeneidade das fontes de dados envolvidas. Apesar dos avanços tecnológicos e científicos, os projetos de DW ainda são muito lentos na geração de resultados pragmáticos. Este trabalho busca responder à seguinte questão: como pode ser reduzida a complexidade do desenvolvimento de sistemas de DW que integram dados provenientes de sistemas transacionais heterogêneos? Para isso, apresenta duas contribuições: 1) A criação de diretrizes metodológicas baseadas em ciclos de modelagem conceitual e análise de dados para guiar a construção de um sistema modular de integração de dados. Essas diretrizes foram fundamentais para reduzir a complexidade do desenvolvimento do projeto internacional Retrovirus Epidemiology Donor Study-II (REDS-II), se mostrando adequadas para serem aplicadas em sistemas reais. 2) O desenvolvimento de um método de validação de lotes de dados candidatos a serem incorporados a um sistema integrador, que toma decisões baseado no perfil estatístico desses lotes, e de um projeto de sistema que viabiliza o uso desse método no contexto de sistemas de DW.Data integration systems that use data warehouse (DW) architecture are becoming bigger and more difficult to manage due to the growing heterogeneity of data sources. Despite the significant advances in research and technologies, many integration projects are still too slow to generate pragmatic results. This work addresses the following question: how can the complexity of DW development for integration of heterogeneous transactional information systems be reduced? For this purpose, we present two contributions: 1) The establishment of methodological guidelines based on cycles of conceptual modeling and data analysis to drive construction of a modular data integration system. These guidelines were fundamental for reducing the development complexity of the international project Retrovirus Epidemiology Donor Study-II (REDS-II), proving suited to be applied in real systems. 2) The development of a validation method of data batches that are candidates to be incorporated into an integration system, which makes decisions based on the statistical profile of these batches, and a project of a system that enables the use of this method in DW systems context.

Full textAbstract:
In the last years, the number of freely available Linked and Open Data datasets has multiplied into tens of thousands. The numbers of applications taking advantage of it, however, have not. Thus, large portions of potentially valuable data remain unexploited and are inaccessible for lay users. Therefore the upfront investment in releasing data in the first place is hard to justify. The lack of applications needs to be addressed in order not to undermine efforts put into Linked and Open Data. In existing research, strong indicators can be found that the dearth of applications is due to a lack of pragmatic, working architectures supporting these applications and guiding developers. In this thesis, a new architecture for the integration and application of Linked and Open Data is presented. Fundamental design decisions are backed up by two studies: firstly, based on real-world Linked and Open Data samples, characteristic properties are identified. A key finding is the fact that large amounts of structured data display tabular structures, do not use clear licensing and involve multiple different file formats. Secondly, following on from that study, a comparison of storage choices in relevant query scenarios is made. It includes the de-facto standard storage choice in this domain, Triples Stores, as well as relational and NoSQL approaches. Results show significant performance deficiencies of some technologies in certain scenarios. Consequently, when integrating Linked and Open Data in scenarios with application-specific entities, the first choice of storage is relational databases. Combining these findings and related best practices of existing research, a prototype framework is implemented using Java 8 and Hibernate. As a proof-of-concept it is employed in an existing Linked and Open Data integration project. Thereby, it is shown that a best practice architectural component is introduced successfully, while development effort to implement specific program code can be simplified. Thus, the present work provides an important foundation for the development of semantic applications based on Linked and Open Data and potentially leads to a broader adoption of such applications.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse a pour objet l’étude architecturale des vestiges de deux édifices du front de mer occidental à Délos, le Magasin des colonnes et le Magasin δ, dit « à la baignoire », qui ont tous deux été découverts au cours des fouilles menées par A. Jardé et H. Convert en 1903 et 1904. Ils sont situés dans une bande de constructions longeant le rivage, entre l’Agora des Compétaliastes au nord et le sanctuaire des Dioscures au sud. Proches du rivage et pourvus de nombreuses pièces de grandes dimensions, ils ont été identifiés par les premiers chercheurs, A. Jardé puis J. Pâris, à des magasins en lien avec l’essor du grand commerce maritime à Délos au cours de la seconde domination athénienne.La présente étude a consisté à poursuivre le travail d’A. Jardé de sorte à mieux restituer la configuration de ces monuments, à mieux définir leurs spécificités architecturales et à mieux en cerner leurs usages. Elle a d’abord consisté à observer les vestiges des deux bâtiments sans préjuger de leur destination. Elle a ainsi débuté par une analyse approfondie des matériaux ayant servi à leur construction et de leurs composantes architecturales : les murs, les baies, les revêtements muraux, les colonnades, les cloisons, les planchers, les escaliers, les sols et les couvertures. Cette première partie de la thèse, qui a permis d’explorer plusieurs pistes relatives aux techniques de construction, a essentiellement eu pour finalité d’élaborer des outils d’analyse destinés à servir l’étude générale de l’architecture des deux magasins, celle de leur composition et celle de leur situation dans le tissu urbain de Délos, qui ont toutes trois été réunies dans la deuxième partie. Dans la troisième partie, l’étude du fonctionnement et de la destination des deux édifices a nécessité une extension du champ d’investigation, en incluant des bâtiments dont les éléments du mobilier et la situation urbaine sont analogues à ceux du Magasin des colonnes et du Magasin δ : les Magasins α, β et γ. Les cinq édifices ont d’abord pu être réunis grâce à la découverte dans chacun d’eux d’un grand sèkôma à mesure unique. La présence de cet instrument de mesure a permis de mieux justifier le rôle que ces édifices ont joué dans le grand commerce à Délos au tournant des IIe et Ier s. av. J.-C. et de supposer qu’ils ont tous eu la même destination. Une fois associés, ils ont fait l’objet d’une comparaison morphologique. À quelques variations près, ils sont constitués de types d’espaces similaires organisés de la même manière : une entrée principale, ouverte sur le rivage et alignée sur l’axe d’une cour centrale, un rang de pièces de façade longeant le rivage, dans lequel s’insèrent des cages d’escalier reliant la voie du front de mer avec l’étage, et un ensemble de pièces dans le cœur d’îlot distribuées autour de la cour et équipées de fenêtres. De fait, ces bâtiments ont pu être différenciés des autres types de bâtiment présents à Délos, les maisons déliennes notamment. Une relation a ainsi pu être établie entre la destination probable des cinq édifices – stockage de marchandises et commerce au rez-de-chaussée et hébergement à l’étage – et leur forme architecturale. Cette relation a permis de définir un type particulier d’édifice ayant abrité des activités liées au stockage des marchandises, à leur inventaire, à leur mesure – poids et/ou volume – et à leur commerce ainsi que des pratiques d’ordre domestique telles l’hébergement des marchands itinérants. Dans son acception moderne, le terme « magasin » proposé par A. Jardé s’avère encore être le plus approprié pour désigner de tels édifices mêlant les fonctions d’entrepôt à celles des lieux de commerce. Ce type d’édifice, dont plusieurs indices révèlent le statut locatif, semble en outre être étroitement lié à la profession d’entrepositaire mentionnée dans les inscriptions de DélosThe aim of this doctoral dissertation consists in the architectural study of the remains of two buildings on the western coast in Delos, the Magasin des colonnes and the Magasin δ, also known as Magasin à la baignoire, both of which were discovered during excavations carried out by A. Jardé and H. Convert in 1903 and 1904. They are located in a strip of buildings along the shore, between the Agora des Compétaliastes in the north and the sanctuary of Les Dioscures in the south. Close to the seashore and provided with numerous large rooms, they were identified by the first researchers, A. Jardé then J. Pâris, to commercial buildings in connection with the rise of the great sea trade in Delos during the second Athenian domination.The present study consisted in continuing the work of A. Jardé in order to better restore the configuration of these monuments, to better point out their architectural specificities and to better define their uses. First, it consisted in observing the remains of the two buildings without prejudging their function. It began with an in-depth analysis of the materials used in their construction and their architectural components: walls, bays, wall coverings, colonnades, partitions, grounds, stairs, floors and roofing. This first part of the work, which made it possible to explore several tracks relating to construction techniques, was essentially aimed at developing analytical tools intended to support the general study of the architecture of the two buildings, that of their composition and that of their situation in the urban fabric of Delos, all three which are developed together in the second part. In the third part, the study of the functioning and the uses of the two buildings required an extension of the field of investigation, by including buildings whose archaeological material and urban situation are similar to those of the Magasin des colonnes and the Magasin δ : the Magasins α, β and γ. The five buildings were first brought together owing to the discovery in each of them of a large sèkôma with a unique tank. The presence of this measuring instrument made it possible to better justify the role that these buildings played in the great trade in Delos at the turn of the 2nd and 1st centuries BC and to suppose that they all had the same destination. Once associated, they were morphologically compared. With a few variations, they are made up of similar types of spaces organized in the same way: a main entrance, opened on the seashore and aligned on the axis of a central courtyard, a row of façade rooms along the shore, in which are inserted staircases connecting the waterfront path with the floor, and a set of rooms in the heart of a block distributed around the courtyard and equipped with windows. In fact, these buildings could be differentiated from the other types of buildings present in Delos, in particular the houses. A relationship was thus established between the probable functions of the five buildings - storage of goods and trade on the ground floor and accommodation on the first floor - and their architectural form. This relationship has made it possible to define a particular type of building dedicated to house activities related to the storage of goods, their inventory, their measurement - weight and/or volume - and their trade, as well as domestic practices such as the accommodation of itinerant merchants. In its modern sense, the term "magasin" proposed by A. Jardé still proves to be the most appropriate to designate such buildings mixing the functions of a warehouse with those of commercial premises. This type of building, of which several indices reveal the rental status, also seems to be closely linked to the profession of entrepositaire – warehouse keeper – mentioned in the inscriptions of Delos

This study addressed issues associated with implementing multiple data integrators. The process included implementing the same data integrator multiple times or implementing multiple different data integrators. It was shown that single data integrators implementations were failing at high rates. Environments were complicated because there were more acquisitions and mergers now than in the past, companies were required to be competitive while implementations were taking place, and possibly had short implementation time frames.
The main goal of this study was to develop an agile, sturdy, and rigorous model that addressed the needs of companies that found themselves in situations where they needed to implement two or more data integrators and possibly business initiatives. This researcher developed a model and a questionnaire. The questionnaire was used to gather data from managers and practitioners in the information technology industry. The collected information was expected to show a consensus about the proposed JBurns Systems Implementation Model (JBSIM).
Analysis showed various industry participants used different combinations of the proposed data integrators supported and they supported the proposed JBSIM. This model allowed for successful implementation of multiple data integrators used in this research. As this model matured, it had the potential that allowed the use of other data integrators not used in this research. It had potential that allowed corporate initiatives to be used.

Performance management of engineering education emerges from the need to assure proper training of future engineers in order to meet the constantly evolving expectations and challenges for the engineering profession. The process of accreditation ensures that engineering graduates are adequately prepared for their professional careers and responsibilities by ensuring that they possess an expected set of mandatory graduate attributes. Engineering programs are required by accreditation bodies to have systematic performance management of their programs that informs a continuous improvement process. Unfortunately, the vast diversity of engineering disciplines, varieties of information systems, and the large number of actors involved in the process makes this task challenging and complex.
We performed a systematic literature review of jurisdictions around the world who are doing accreditation and examined how universities across Canada, US and other countries, have addressed tool support for performance management of engineering education. Our initial systematic approach for tool supported performance management evolved from this, and then we refined it through an iterative process of combined action research and design science research. We developed a prototype, Graduate Attribute Information Analysis (GAIA) in collaboration with the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Ottawa, to support a systematic approach for accreditation of three engineering programs.
This thesis contributes to research on the problem by developing a systematic approach, a tool that supports it, a set of related data transformations, and a tool-assessment checklist. Our systematic approach for tool-supported performance management addresses system architecture, a common continuous improvement process, a common set of key performance indicators, and identifies the performance management forms and reports needed to analyze graduate attribute data. The data transformation and analysis techniques we demonstrate ensure the accurate analysis of statistical and historical trends.

Con la crescita in complessità delle infrastrutture IT e la pervasività
degli scenari di Internet of Things (IoT) emerge il bisogno
di nuovi modelli computazionali basati su entità autonome capaci di portare a termine obiettivi
di alto livello interagendo tra loro grazie al supporto di infrastrutture come il Fog Computing,
per la vicinanza alle sorgenti dei dati, e del Cloud Computing per offrire servizi
analitici complessi di back-end in grado di fornire risultati per milioni di utenti.
Questi nuovi scenarii portano a ripensare il modo in cui il software viene progettato
e sviluppato in una prospettiva agile. Le attività dei team di sviluppatori (Dev)
dovrebbero essere strettamente legate alle attività dei team che supportano
il Cloud (Ops) secondo nuove metodologie oggi note come DevOps.
Tuttavia, data la mancanza di astrazioni adeguata a livello di linguaggio di programmazione,
gli sviluppatori IoT sono spesso indotti a seguire approcci di sviluppo bottom-up che spesso
risulta non adeguato ad affrontare la compessità delle applicazione del settore e
l'eterogeneità dei compomenti software che le formano.
Poichè le applicazioni monolitiche del passato appaiono difficilmente scalabili
e gestibili in un ambiente Cloud con molteplici utenti,
molti ritengono necessaria l'adozione di un nuovo stile architetturale,
in cui un'applicazione dovrebbe essere vista come una composizione di micro-servizi,
ciascuno dedicato a uno specifica funzionalità applicativa e ciascuno sotto la
responsabilità di un piccolo team di sviluppatori, dall'analisi del problema
al deployment e al management.
Poichè al momento non si è ancora giunti a una definizione univoca
e condivisa dei microservices e di altri concetti che emergono da IoT e dal Cloud,
nè tantomento alla definzione di linguaggi sepcializzati per questo settore,
la definzione di metamodelli
custom associati alla produzione automatica del software di raccordo con
le infrastrutture potrebbe aiutare un team di sviluppo ad elevare il livello di
astrazione, incapsulando in una software factory aziendale i dettagli implementativi.
Grazie a sistemi di produzione del sofware basati sul Model Driven Software Development (MDSD),
l'approccio top-down attualmente carente può essere recuperato, permettendo
di focalizzare l'attenzione sulla business logic delle applicazioni.
Nella tesi viene
mostrato un esempio di questo possibile approccio, partendo dall'idea che
un'applicazione IoT sia in primo luogo un sistema software distribuito in cui
l'interazione tra componenti attivi (modellati come attori)
gioca un ruolo fondamentale.

Full textAbstract:
Data warehouse technology has been successfully integrated into the information infrastructure of major organizations as potential solution for eliminating redundancy and providing for comprehensive data integration. Realizing the importance of a data warehouse as the main data repository within an organization, this dissertation addresses different aspects related to the data warehouse architecture and performance issues. Many data warehouse architectures have been presented by industry analysts and research organizations. These architectures vary from the independent and physical business unit centric data marts to the centralised two-tier hub-and-spoke data warehouse. The operational data store is a third tier which was offered later to address the business requirements for inter-day data loading. While the industry-available architectures are all valid, I found them to be suboptimal in efficiency (cost) and effectiveness (productivity). In this dissertation, I am advocating a new architecture (The Hybrid Architecture) which encompasses the industry advocated architecture. The hybrid architecture demands the acquisition, loading and consolidation of enterprise atomic and detailed data into a single integrated enterprise data store (The Enterprise Data Warehouse) where businessunit centric Data Marts and Operational Data Stores (ODS) are built in the same instance of the Enterprise Data Warehouse. For the purpose of highlighting the role of data warehouses for different applications, we describe an effort to develop a data warehouse for a geographical information system (GIS). We further study the importance of data practices, quality and governance for financial institutions by commenting on the RBC Financial Group case. v The development and deployment of the Enterprise Data Warehouse based on the Hybrid Architecture spawned its own issues and challenges. Organic data growth and business requirements to load additional new data significantly will increase the amount of stored data. Consequently, the number of users will increase significantly. Enterprise data warehouse obesity, performance degradation and navigation difficulties are chief amongst the issues and challenges. Association rules mining and social networks have been adopted in this thesis to address the above mentioned issues and challenges. We describe an approach that uses frequent pattern mining and social network techniques to discover different communities within the data warehouse. These communities include sets of tables frequently accessed together, sets of tables retrieved together most of the time and sets of attributes that mostly appear together in the queries. We concentrate on tables in the discussion; however, the model is general enough to discover other communities. We first build a frequent pattern mining model by considering each query as a transaction and the tables as items. Then, we mine closed frequent itemsets of tables; these itemsets include tables that are mostly accessed together and hence should be treated as one unit in storage and retrieval for better overall performance. We utilize social network construction and analysis to find maximum-sized sets of related tables; this is a more robust approach as opposed to a union of overlapping itemsets. We derive the Jaccard distance between the closed itemsets and construct the social network of tables by adding links that represent distance above a given threshold. The constructed network is analyzed to discover communities of tables that are mostly accessed together. The reported test results are promising and demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of the developed approach.

The thesis aims to investigate how the development of Internet consumerism in the age of web 2.0 shifted the conventional manufacturer and customer relationship, and transforms the consumer’s behavior inherited from Fordism and post Fordism period hence re-shaping the urban and logistics landscape.
Web2.0 emphasis interaction and exchanging information between individuals and business corporates, two major fundamental changes to traditional consumer’s behavior would be discussed in the thesis.
Firstly, the development of online selling connects manufacturers directly to their customers, where retail front is no longer a place for simple transaction but a place where it emphasis customers experience. Secondly, web2.0 promoted the consumers to consumer’s activities (C2C), which allows the exchanging of physical resources between individual more frequently. The C2C activities transform the consumer’s behavior, which in turn transform the landscape of consumption. Two of the effects brought by the Internet consumerism on the site of consumption, i.e. branding of space and territory merging (collistive programme) of landscape will be discussed in the thesis.
To seam line the existing logistics system for the consumers to consumers trading activity and enhance the convenience of online shopping experience, a new business model will be proposed after series of studies on the existing logistics system regarding the Internet consumerism. The proposed business model is operated by a third party logistics company i.e. Fedex, UPS and DHL etc. There are three major components in the proposed system, regional distribution hubs on a district level in Hong Kong, drop off points scattered in a community level and vehicles which serves as mobile store. Detail operation of the system will be discussed in the thesis.
Finally, a regional distribution hub in Kwun Tong and several drops off points will be selected for the design execution. The thesis aims to implement the above ideas of territory merging and collistive programme with a design project and illustrate the establishment of brands with a landscape design.published_or_final_version

A presente pesquisa refere-se aos armazéns de estocagem do café na cidade de Santos, construídos no final do século XIX e início do século XX. Esses armazéns tiveram grande importância na economia cafeeira de exportação. Instalados próximos ao porto, eles eram usados para armazenar o café vindo do produtor, enquanto aguardavam o carregamento nos navios. Essa tipologia industrial, presente na região central da cidade santista, está integrada à malha urbana, característica que a torna interessante e, concomitantemente, coloca-a em risco constante. O trabalho teve por objetivo produzir material que registre e analise essa arquitetura industrial santista. A ausência de pesquisa sobre essa tipologia e a dinâmica de desenvolvimento da cidade torna vulnerável a preservação dessa memória edificada. Para tanto, os edifícios remanescentes foram inventariados e estudados através de pesquisa bibliográfica, documental, iconográfica, levantamentos de campo e croquis. O estudo de caso, Armazém Roberto, propiciou a melhor compreensão dessa tipologia e o aprofundamento dos sistemas construtivos e maquinários utilizados à época.The present research refers to the storage warehouses of coffee in the city of Santos, built in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These warehouses were of great importance in the coffee export economy. Installed close to the port, they were used to store the coffee from the producer, while awaiting loading on ships. This industrial typology, present in the central region of the city of Santos, is integrated to the urban network, a characteristic that makes it interesting and, at the same time, puts it at constant risk. The objective of the work was to produce material that registers and analyzes this industrial architecture. The absence of research on this typology and the dynamics of the city\'s development makes the preservation of this built-up memory vulnerable. To that end, the remaining buildings were inventoried and studied through bibliographical, documentary, iconographic, field surveys and sketches. The case study, Roberto Warehouse, provided a better understanding of this typology and the deepening of the construction systems and machinery used at the time.

Original design manufacturer (ODM) is a meager profit industry. The client order changes frequently to make the inventory control difficult. The material shortage results in production line shutdown. There is a pre-purchase materials requirement by business section to avoid this situation from happening. But the market changes, the decreased order shall result in the idle stock and profit loss. How to reduce inventory, keeping up with changes in the market and adjusting inventory flexibility, all relevant departments need to reach an inventory management consensus and cooperation. For example, manufacture has received materials according to the work order and production condition, and react immediately on anomalies and replacement of materials; the purchasing department orders calculated in accordance with supply and demand needs, work orders, sales orders, production and re-products, finished products, inventory, substitute item, loss material information quickly and correctly grasp the material supply and demand. Most inventory managements adopt traditional process-oriented approaches which are based on streaming and goods flow. Process-oriented inventory managements cannot describe interactions among departments in the enterprise due to lack of overall concept. From the order, receipt, acceptance and completion of storage, finished product shipments, inventory, and inventory management activities, various cross-organizational controls generate mismanagement and communication barriers, thereby reducing the competitiveness of enterprises. This research uses the structure-behavior coalescence (SBC) architecture description language to build an Architecture-Oriented Warehouse Management Model (AOWMM). AOWMM is centered on the warehouse management which contains the Architecture Hierarchy Diagram, Framework Diagram, Component Operation Diagram, Component Connection Diagram, Structure-Behavior Coalescence Diagram and Interaction Flow Diagram. The use of AOWMM is to organize, control, material control, personnel training, schedule control and service-oriented. Compared with the traditional inventory management model, AOWMM shows excellent competitiveness for enterprises and is worthy of further study.

Abstract A data warehouse is a single, complete, and consistent data store obtains from a variety of sources, usually within a corporation, and visualized by end users in a variety of ways that can be better understand and used in a business context. Rules in active database systems allow specification of data manipulation operations that are executed automatically whenever certain conditions are met. Active database rules provides a general and powerful mechanism for many database features, including integrity constraint enforcement, derived data maintenance, triggers, alerts, rule transaction management, authorization checking, and versioning. This research aspires to construct a novel architecture for data warehouse systems, which is focused on the uniform metadata model and the active monitor conditions triggered in data warehouse. Our architecture of data warehouse includes the two repositories are (1) a metadata repositories and (2) an active rule repositories. The three basic procedure modules are (1) a Query Manager (QM) module, which provide to analysis multi-dimensional query from active cube browsers, (2) a Metadata Manager (MM) module, which contains the communication mechanism to manage the metadata repositories, and (3) an Active Rule Mechanism (ARM) module, which provided a inference engine to go step triggered rules and inference correctness of result. In particular, we built the uniform metadata representation and add the active rule mechanism for the data warehouse to improve the overall effectiveness of data warehouse. This architecture could actively monitor multi-dimensional query that trigger those related events, and the deployment of an active rule mechanism to provide further analyze or visions in data analysis. Finally, a case study and a prototype system have been investigated to evaluate the correctness and feasibility of this research.

This research aspires to construct a novel architecture for data warehouse systems, which is focused on the uniform metadata model and the query performance. The data warehouse includes a repository to store an integrated database schema which is constructed from different source database schemas and a database proxy server which stores the accessed data by following the structure of an integrated database schema. The main motivation of this project is derived from proxy server in WWW. The basic process flows in our approach is that if the data of a query has been previously requested and stored in the database proxy server, the data warehouse will return data from the database proxy server instead of retrieving data from the remote database servers again. If the database proxy server does not contain sufficient data for the query, i.e. information completeness failure, it will refresh the data of database proxy server and send the up-to-date data to the user. Since the data in proxy database may be real time or out-of-date, a timestamp tag of the data last refreshing time is attached to each query result. If the user is not satisfied with the query result regarding of its timestamp, he/she can send a reload command to force the data refreshment. This architecture can increase the query performance and reduce the load to manage the huge amount data for a data warehouse. A prototype system has also been implemented to prove the feasibility of this method.

Along with the enterprise globalization and Internet popularization, the web-based Data Warehouse system has gradually replaced the traditional Data Warehouse system and becomes the mainstream structure of the Data Warehouse. Through the Internet, the manager can easily obtain and share the data on the distribution system. Through the multiple data source collections, the quality and broad base of Data Warehouse can be increased and thus help managers to make more decisive policies. But utilizing the basic client/server structure of Data Warehouse can increase many tolerances and cost based problems. This paper will use the XML to establish the web-based Data Warehouse system and utilize the advantage of its flexibility, self-definition, self-description and low cost to improve the unavoidable defect of the client/server Data Warehouse system. We also use pull and push method approaches to determine what information can be shared on the Internet or delivery through e-mail. It can not only improve the scalability and speed, but also enhance the system security. Therefore, it can solve the challenges on the traditional DW system. In addition, this architecture can use for the traditional client/server DW system and web-based DW system. The last, we use a case study to prove validity of this system architecture and we also create a prototype system to prove feasibility of this system architecture.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is a composition of Reader, Tag, and database application system, is one of the important inventions in the twenty-first century. EPCglobal institute developed the standard interface of Application Level Event (ALE). ALE is a middleware which processes data screening, filtering, and grouping operations and it is responsible for negotiation between the Reader and enterprise database application system. EPCglobal institute also defines EPC Information Service (EPCIS). EPCIS is a web service that can be combined with database system to provide users with an interface to query data; this feature indicates that EPCIS can be applied in the logistics industry to trace and manage goods. Each enterprise is faced with fixed costs in logistics whether it chooses sea, land or air freight in transporting goods; the more times goods are transported, the higher the fixed costs. In order to decrease costs, each enterprise needs to purchase a large number of goods and store them in a warehouse each time goods are imported; hence, having a warehouse is inevitable for each enterprise. Therefore, improving transparency in the warehouse management process will help in shortening operation lead time. Further, by controlling items tracking effectively, human error and fixed costs will be reduced. This paper presents a RFID warehouse management system which is based on EPCglobal framework; it defines relevant setting parameters about EPCIS Event and ALE specification through the traditional warehouse shipping management processes. This study is beneficial to warehouse operators as they can be instantly updated on the status of each goods and of warehouse usability. Finally, this research hopes to contribute to and improve the introduction of RFID system to enterprises.

Full textAbstract:
With Moore’s law grinding to a halt, accelerators are one of the ways that new silicon can improve performance, and they are already a key component in modern datacenters. Accelerators are integrated circuits that implement parts of an application with the objective of higher energy efficiency compared to execution on a standard general purpose CPU. Many accelerators can target any particular workload, generally with a wide range of performance, and costs such as area or power. Exploring these design choices, called Design Space Exploration (DSE), is a crucial step in trying to find the most efficient accelerator design, the one that produces the largest reduction of the total cost of ownership.
This work aims to improve this design space exploration phase for accelerators and to avoid pitfalls in the process. This dissertation supports the thesis that early design choices – including the level of specialization – are critical for accelerator development and therefore require benchmarks reflective of production workloads. We present three studies that support this thesis. First, we show how to benchmark datacenter applications by creating a benchmark for large video sharing infrastructures. Then, we present two studies focused on accelerators for analytical query processing. The first is an analysis on the impact of Network on Chip specialization while the second analyses the impact of the level of specialization.
The first part of this dissertation introduces vbench: a video transcoding benchmark tailored to the growing video-as-a-service market. Video transcoding is not accurately represented in current computer architecture benchmarks such as SPEC or PARSEC. Despite posing a big computational burden for cloud video providers, such as YouTube and Facebook, it is not included in cloud benchmarks such as CloudSuite. Using vbench, we found that the microarchitectural profile of video transcoding is highly dependent on the input video, that SIMD extensions provide limited benefits, and that commercial hardware transcoders impose tradeoffs that are not ideal for cloud video providers. Our benchmark should spur architectural innovations for this critical workload. This work shows how to benchmark a real world warehouse scale application and the possible pitfalls in case of a mischaracterization.
When considering accelerators for the different, but no less important, application of analytical query processing, design space exploration plays a critical role. We analyzed the Q100, a class of accelerators for this application domain, using TPC-H as the reference benchmark. We found that the hardware computational blocks have to be tailored to the requirements of the application, but also the Network on Chip (NoC) can be specialized. We developed an algorithm capable of producing more effective Q100 designs by tailoring the NoC to the communication requirements of the system. Our algorithm is capable of producing designs that are Pareto optimal compared to standard NoC topologies. This shows how NoC specialization is highly effective for accelerators and it should be an integral part of design space exploration for large accelerators’ designs.
The third part of this dissertation analyzes the impact of the level of specialization, e.g. using an ASIC or Coarse Grain Reconfigurable Architecture (CGRA) implementation, on an accelerator performance. We developed a CGRA architecture capable of executing SQL query plans. We compare this architecture against Q100, an ASIC that targets the same class of workloads. Despite being less specialized, this programmable architecture shows comparable performance to the Q100 given an area and power budget. Resource usage explains this counterintuitive result, since a well programmed, homogeneous array of resources is able to more effectively harness silicon for the workload at hand. This suggests that a balanced accelerator research portfolio must include alternative programmable architectures – and their software stacks.

The thesis is about the programmatic exchange and confluence between production processes, public transportation and people. The proposed intervention would be developed to fit in with the City of Tshwane Spatial development framework and an industracity vision and framework for the location in Pretoria West, developed by the framework group. The new intervention will deal with both production process and public activity in the design of a train station and intermodal freight warehouse. The site location is in Pretoria West, a mixed use suburb with restricted industry, business, retail, flats and single residential areas. The site is the Pretoria West Power Station an intersect fir existing infrastructure and public transportation routes. The aim of the investigation is the integration of public functions with industrial functions in ways that contest monotonous urban environments, preserving the heritage of the site in the outcome. The research questions what can be done to facilitate the return of lost production, increase the interaction of people and processes and address the decaying historical fabric of the Pretoria West Power Station. The study examines the history of production and railway stations, uses descriptive survey methods, precedent studies and architectural and urban theory to inform the intervention. The aim of the design is to transform an industrial site into a vibrant integrated environment, introducing programmes that will attract people , but keep the industrial character intact. The character of the site will be conserved through the introduction of new light industries, keeping the memory of process. The design concept links into the idea of electrical input and output exchanges of a power station. It focuses on the exchanges of energy, physical and visual exchanges between heritage, people and products, service exchanges and exchanges in function between freight and passengers and in context - heritage and production. The design objectives are to extend the railway line as a suspended platform to provide access and exchange for freight and passengers and to depart from the introverted nature of the existing buildings to encourage public interaction with the history of the site and the production processes. The railway track infrastructure will serve multiple purposes.Dissertation (MArch(Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2011.

This dissertation focuses on the re-use of business process reference models, available in a business process model warehouse, to enable the definition of more comprehensive business requirements. It proposes a business process model warehouse framework to promote the re-use of multiple business process reference models and the flexible visualisation of business process models. The critical success factor for such a framework is that it should contribute to minimise to some extent the causes of inadequate business requirements. The proposed framework is based on an analogy with a data warehouse framework, consisting of the following components: usage of multiple business process reference models as source models, the conceptual design of a process to extract, load and transform multiple business process reference models into a repository, a description of repository functionality for managing enterprise architecture artefacts, and motivation of flexible visualisation of business process models to ensure more comprehensive business requirements.Computer Science (School of Computing)

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an exploration of how small independent residential units added one at a time can offer old buildings and the cities they are in the opportunity to gradually grow and change – in a way that isn’t presented by the typical double-loaded corridor build-out.
The first component of this exploration is a modular unit that can be brought into existing buildings and assembled in a flexible layout. This House acts as a ‘Core’ that provides basic shelter, warmth, and a place to sleep and prepare food; the density of this unit allows the surrounding square footage to be used for other activities: kids playing, welding a project, or setting up easels for painting.
The second part of this exploration is a pattern-based approach to the interaction of these units within the building: given certain rules that govern arrangement what are some possible spatial outcomes?

A Revolução Industrial - processo de transição de produção artesanal para produção em
máquinas - foi um período de grandes mudanças e desenvolvimento global que desencadeou uma
série de novas rotinas, pensamentos e necessidades, nomeadamente espaciais capazes de albergar
todo o produto desta revolução. Muitos foram os edifícios construídos em massa para uma resposta
rápida e adequada, que acompanhasse o desenvolvimento e crescimento da produção, nesta altura.
Estes edifícios, uns com mais importância do que outros, além de marcarem uma época, marcaram
gerações e culturas, famílias e comunidades, por serem espaços que definiam as suas rotinas,
vivências, identidade e evolução.
A partir da década de setenta, após o auge de funcionamento destas estruturas, o rápido
desenvolvimento tecnológico e industrial levou à transferência das instalações das indústrias para
estruturas com maior abrangência espacial tendo como consequência o encerramento das instalações
fabris da época anterior. Estas estruturas encerradas das suas funções, caem no desprezo e abandono
e geram cenários de risco atraentes a diversas problemáticas sociais e ambientais, resultando na
desvalorização gradual do território.
A reabilitação e refuncionalização surge nestas estruturas como ações regenerativas do próprio
edifício e de todos os seus arredores possibilitando a reconversão dos cenários de risco através de
novas dinâmicas que revitalizem os espaços. Deste modo, o presente trabalho apresenta uma
abordagem a uma problemática da atual realidade de abandono deste tipo de estruturas, numa tentativa
de evidenciar as potencialidades que estes edifícios comportam, fundamentando estas evidências na
análise de três casos práticos – o Lx Work Hub (Lisboa), A Guesthouse OPO’attics (Porto), a Casa da
Arquitetura (Matosinhos). Toda a investigação pretende complementar noções da prática projetual
neste tipo de estruturas aplicadas também na vertente prática deste trabalho e realçar a importância
que a reabilitação destes espaços tem na comunidade e na cidade.The Industrial Revolution - a process of transition from artisanal production to machine production - was a period of great change and global development that unleashed a series of new routines, thoughts and needs, notably space capable of accommodating the whole product of this revolution. Many were mass-built buildings for a quick and adequate response that accompanied the development and growth of production at this time. These buildings, some more connotated than others, besides marking an era, marked generations and cultures, families and communities, being spaces that defined their routines, experiences, identity and evolution. Since the 1970s, after the boom in the operation of these structures, the rapid technological and industrial development led to the transfer of the facilities of the industries to structures with more space coverage, resulting in the closure of the factory facilities of the previous era. These closed structures’ functions fall into contempt and abandonment and generate risky scenarios that are the catalyst to various social and environmental problems resulting in the gradual devaluation of the territory. Rehabilitation and refunctionalization emerges in these structures as regenerative actions of the building itself and of all its surroundings, allowing the reconversion of risk scenarios through new dynamics that revitalize spaces. In this way, the present work presents an approach to a problematic of the current reality of abandonment of this type of structures in an attempt to highlight the potentialities of these buildings, basing these evidences in the analysis of three practical cases studies - Lx Work Hub (Lisbon), Guesthouse OPO'attics (Porto), Casa da Arquitectura (Matosinhos). All the research intends to complement notions of the design practice in this type of structures, applied also in the practical aspect of this work, and to emphasize the importance that the rehabilitation of these spaces has in the community and in the city.

Orientação : Vasco PinheiroA presente dissertação de mestrado surge como resposta à temática apresentada na ficha IDARQ Lab Património e Reversibilidade, onde tendo sido escolhida a tipologia de edifício industrial para a proposta de intervenção, se tem como objectivo encontrar alternativas às intervenções de caracter capitalista que preenchem as nossas cidades, e provar que é possível salvaguardar os valores patrimoniais e históricos de um edifício, sem que para isso os novos usos sejam prejudicados. Posto o descrito anteriormente e tendo em conta que a partir dos anos 90 o abandono das áreas industriais deixou-nos à disposição milhões de metros quadrados para os quais é necessário determinar uma finalidade, estas áreas destacam-se assim como sendo a principal oportunidade de intervenção na cidade contemporânea, onde a possibilidade de poder reedificar no interior de um tecido urbano se torna pertinente, do ponto de vista urbano, económico e social. Tendo em conta a importância deste assunto, este trabalho de investigação, começa por abordar numa primeira parte um estudo sobre o valor do património arquitectónico industrial, enquanto testemunhos de história, cultura e de qualidade arquitectónica. São também analisados quatro estudos de casos, para que através de uma análise das boas práticas de reabilitação, se possa compreender melhor as potencialidades a nível económico, social e arquitectónico do conjunto edificado a intervir. Numa segunda parte do trabalho, dedicada ao caso de estudo dos Armazéns de Vinho Abel Pereira da Fonseca, no Poço do Bispo, é feita a sua caracterização e apresentado o enquadramento histórico do conjunto dos armazéns. Posteriormente é apresentado o desenvolvimento da proposta de intervenção de reabilitação do conjunto dos armazéns, que debatido com os temas anteriormente tratados, procura estabelecer um diálogo equilibrado, entre o novo e o velho, como forma de manter a sua identidade.
The present master's degree theme aims to comply with the current case study in the IDARQ Lab Heritage and reversibility datasheet. Taking into account that has been chosen the type of industrial building for the proposed intervention, the goal is to find alternatives to the capitalist character of interventions that fill our cities and prove that it is possible to preserve building´s heritage and historical values keeping the functionality for new necessities. Therefore and considering that industrial areas are being abandonment since nineteens appearing million square meters available for a new finding purpose. These areas stand out as being the main opportunity for intervention in the contemporary city where the possibility to rebuild inside the urban tissue becomes pertinent from urban, economically and socially perspective. According the relevance of this matter this research work starts studying the value of the industrial architectural heritage as witnesses of history, culture and architectural quality. Are also analyzed four study case witch through a good rehabilitation practices analysis can be better for a full understanding of the economic social and architectural potential level associated to the set built to intervene. The second part of the work is dedicated to the case study of Wine Warehouses Abel Pereira da Fonseca, placed at the Poço do Bispo. It will be performed the characterization and presents the historical background of all warehouses. Subsequently it will be presented the rehabilitation intervention development proposed for all warehouses which in order of the themes previously treated seeks to establish a balance between the new and the old as a way to maintain their identity.
