The main objective of this paper is to propose and apply a Business Process Automation Office Model to public institutions. A preliminary model is developed and improved through its application in a public Higher Education Institution. This research uses a multi-method scientific approach. A Systematic Literature Mapping is applied to identify the state of the art about Centers of Excellence involved in the automation of business processes. After that, the proposed model is then refined in three cycles of an Action Research. The main contributions are to offer a processes office model focused in process automation. The preliminary results with BPMS demonstrate greater flexibility to processes updating to public institutions.

ResumoEste artigo descreve um modelo de referência para apoiar o ensino de Sociologia e Filosofia no Ensino Médio brasileiro considerando as dificuldades atuais de uma tradição escolar ainda deficiente em ambas as disciplinas. O modelo busca um enfrentamento ao problema propondo a construção de uma tradição renovada que assimile os preceitos de uma Cultura Digital e se volte à formação de um sujeito crítico e ciente de sua condição social a partir do poder das comunidades digitais de colaboração na Web e do Software Livre. Palavras-chave:Educação, Ensino-aprendizagem, Filosofia, Sociologia, Software Livre, Cultura Digital. AbstractThis article describes a supporting reference model for Sociology and Philosophy learning in Brazilian secondary schools concerning the tradition gap verified in the development stage of both disciplines today. The model seeks to approach the issue by proposing a renewing of this learning tradition, being oriented to building a social-aware and thinking subject, and resorting to the concepts and practices of Web communities empowered by the Free Software as well.

Inovação na educação: pontes para futuros fora da caixa

In this work we developed an extension of IsaViz software, a RDF (Resource Description Framework) authoring tool, designed to be a graphical environment to build models of metabolic and regulatory networks. This environment, called Metabolic IsaViz, was linked to a genomic library of types and was modeled on the basis of ontologies. Biochemical pathways included data at sequence level (e.g., the amino acid sequence of enzymes), besides kinetic and thermodynamic parameters for the reactions. Models created with Metabolic IsaViz could be exported to pathways simulators through SBML (Systems Biology Markup Language), which allowed to analyze the pathway dynamics of target chemicals.
