Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar o conhecimento dos alunos acerca do Coronavírus e os impactos causados na vida escolar e na vida cotidiana como um todo e investigar a contribuição da cartilha de orientações preventivas acerca do contágio por Coronavírus, do Programa Saúde na Escola, relacionando sua efetiva ação pedagógica no processo de ensino e aprendizagem desta temática. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa realizada no mês de julho de 2020. Participaram da pesquisa alunos de uma escola de Ensino Básico na Fronteira Oeste do Rio Grande do Sul. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de um formulário on-line enviado via e-mail. A análise dos dados ocorreu por meio da Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin. A pesquisa foi realizada com 21 alunos com idades entre 13 e 16 anos, os alunos aponta...

MAS-PL promotes the large-scale reuse of common and variable agency features across multiple MAS applications. The development of MAS-PLs can be achieved through MAS-specific platforms and implementation techniques, such as conditional compilation and aspect-oriented programming (AOP). However, there is not much evidence on how these techniques provide better modularity, allowing the conception of stable MAS-PL designs. This paper presents a quantitative study on the design modularity and stability of an evolving MASPL. The MAS-PL was built following the reactive product line adoption approach. The product line was developed and evolved based on several versions of a conference management webbased system, named Expert Committee (EC). Our evaluation is made through a series of change scenarios related to ...

Currently, in addition to the 12 actions already recommended, actions on “Health promotion and prevention to COVID-19” have been included. The objective of this study was to understand how the actions of the School Health Program are carried out in the prevention of coronavirus. This is a qualitative research carried out in July 2020. Teachers from a basic education school in the Western Frontier of Rio Grande do Sul participated in the research. Data collection was performed using an online form. The survey was approved under registration number 3,704,100. 17 teachers participated, among which 15 are female and two male. Regarding the articulation between health and schools in the territory, the teachers said that the development of 12 actions or more is recommended. During the pandemic period, teachers changed the focus of the prog...

Therefore, this paper proposes an extension to the Java self-Adaptive Agent Framework (JAAF) in order to apply the self-test concept. This framework allows for the creation

This paper presents a domain engineering process for developing MAS-PLs. It defines activities and work products, whose purposes include allowing agent variability and providing agent features traceability, both not addressed by current SPL and MAS approaches.

The SPL architecture addresses a set of common and variable features of a family of products. Based on this architecture, products can be derived in a systematic way. A multi-agent system product line (MAS-PL) defines an SPL architecture that is modularized, also using software agents to model, design and implement its common and variable features. This paper presents the development of an MAS-PL for the web domain, describing its architecture, the agents that compose the system and details of the object-oriented implementation and design. This MAS-PL consists of the evolutionary development of the ExpertCommittee web-based system. Furthermore, this paper reports some lessons learned from this exploratory study of definition of a MAS-PL.

MAS-PLs are the integration between two promising techniques, software product lines and agent-oriented software engineering, aiming at incorporating their respective benefits and helping the industrial exploitation of agent technology. Our approach explores the scenario of including agency features to existing web applications and is based on PASSI, an agent-oriented ...

However, several tasks of these applications can be automated. Agent-oriented software engineering has emerged as a new software engineering paradigm to allow the development of applications that present autonomous behavior. In this work, we present two case studies of web-based systems, on which we added autonomous behavior by means of software agents. We also discuss some design and implementation issues found on the development of those systems and propose an architectural pattern as a consequence of our case studies.

Multi-agent system product lines (MAS-PL) promote large-scale reuse of common and variable agency features across multiple MAS applications. The development of MAS-PLs can be achieved through alternative MAS-specific frameworks (JADE and Jadex), and general-purpose implementation techniques, such as aspect-oriented programming (AOP). However, there is not much evidence on how these techniques provide better modularity, allowing the conception of stable MAS-PL designs. This paper reports an empirical study that assesses the modularity of a MAS-PL through a systematic analysis of its releases. The study consists of a comparison among three distinct versions of this MAS-PL, each one implemented with a different technique: (i) Jadex platform and configuration files; (ii) JADE platform and configuration files; and (iii) JADE platform enriched with AOP mechanisms. Our analysis was driven by fundamental modularity attributes.

Recent research work explores the integration between them by proposing new templates and adaptations to document SPL variability in the context of MASs. However, the automatic product derivation process is not addressed in these works. In this paper, we propose a new extension to our existing model-based product derivation tool, called GenArch, in order to enable the automatic instantiation and customization of Multiagent Systems Product Lines (MAS-PLs). A case study illustrates how the proposed extension can be used to derive products (instances) from a MAS-PL.

Some approaches have been proposed in this context; however, they do not address development scenarios of traditional SPL architectures using agent abstraction. In this paper, we present a new approach for modeling MAS-PLs, focusing the domain analysis stage. Our approach is based on PASSI methodology and incorporates some extensions to address agency variability. A case study, OLIS (OnLine Intelligent Services), illustrates our approach.

The degeneration is caused by various reasons. For instance, the features suddenly start to be realized and they evolved in inconsistent ways across multiple products. In an extreme case, the SPL code is fully or partially replicated and individually changed across several evolving products. In order to regain control of the SPL assets, a key activity is the design recovery of features from existing applications. However, existing techniques for feature analysis are not effective as they tend to explicitly rely on a single project history. They do not take into consideration change histories of features across multiple evolving products of a SPL. This research proposes a novel technique for history-sensitive feature recovery while repairing degenerated SPL designs. Our technique is ought to encompass a set of heuristics for facilitating SPL design recovery. We aim at investigating to what extent exploiting multi-product change histories allow accurate identification of: (i) code elements that contribute to each feature realization; and (ii) variability properties of the feature code. The empirical evaluation of our technique will be based on two industry case studies.

In association with gynecologists and obstetricians of the Antônio Pedro University Hospital (HUAP) in Brazil, we have identified deficiencies in the prenatal care of the Brazilian public healthcare system that can be computer-supported. They are mainly related to protocols that must be followed in the primary healthcare institutions and the referral process that must take place when a high risk pregnancy is identified, besides other functionalities that can be automated by a software application. In this paper, the Prenatal Care Unified System (SUAP) project will be introduced, which provides a Multi-agent System for supporting and monitoring the prenatal care. This project uses agent technology to manage healthcare records, to act as a clinical decision support system, and to handle the logistics of high risk pregnancy cases. We also describe the challenges encountered during the implementation of the SUAP and discuss the benefits that an agent-based solution provided to the development of our system.
