The advances in the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) brought many benefits to the healthcare area, specially to digital storage of patients’ health records. However, it is still a challenge to have a unified viewpoint of patients’ health history, because typically health data is scattered among different health organizations. Furthermore, there are several standards for [...]
Internet of Things networks together with the data that flow between networked smart devices are growing at unprecedented rates. Often brokers, or intermediaries nodes, combined with the publish/subscribe communication model represent one of the most used strategies to enable Internet of Things applications. At scalability viewpoint, cloud computing and its main feature named resource elasticity [...]
Triage is a process performed in an emergency department that aims to sort patients according to their need for care. When performed speedily and correctly, this process can potentially increase the chances of survival for a patient with serious complications. This study aims to develop a computer model, called UbiTriagem, which supports the process of [...]
Elasticity is one of the most important services of cloud computing, referring to the ability to add or remove resources according to the needs of the application or service. In particular to the Internet of Things (IoT) scope, the use of this facility becomes pertinent since IoT requires a middleware that should be capable to [...]

A computação móvel pode ser definida como informação na ponta dos dedos a qualquer hora, em qualquer lugar e avança como uma realidade nas tarefas e atividades das pessoas, em decorrência da popularização e diversificação de dispositivos móveis e redes sem fio. Faz-se importante então, desenvolver modelos que permitam não somente compartilhar dados clínicos, mas [...]
A significant portion of the Brazilian population consists of people with hearing or visual impairment. Multimodal interaction systems do not suit the needs of a mixed audience, since they are designed for a specific user profile. We propose a model for a Multimodal Human Computer Interaction System (MMHCI) based on services, embedded on an assistive [...]

Nota-se, atualmente, que o avanço da tecnologia e a crescente quantidade de dispositivos móveis vêm estimulando o uso deste tipo de tecnologia. Porém, esses dispositivos não estão prontos para atender pessoas com determinados tipos de deficiência, especificamente o deficiente auditivo. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo propor um modelo de suporte ao deficiente auditivo chamado [...]
A research topic of growing interest is the convergence between Collaborative Systems and Ubiquitous Computing, where context awareness is becoming a tool for enhancing collaboration processes. The application of Ubiquitous Computing concepts in the improvement of collaboration strategies created a research front called Ubiquitous Collaboration. This article proposes a framework to aid the development of [...]
