One of the biggest contemporary challenges for social sciences is the emergence of Big Data practices and infrastructures (Couldry, 2020). Critique of practices of datafication (Van Dijck, 2014) and their role in the corporate (re)construction of social life have already emerged across communications and media research.  Scholars have questioned the phenomenon of big data (Borgman, 2016, Boyd and Crawford, 2012), emphasizing the spatial nature of data manufacturing and emerging data divides (Andrejevic, 2014, Dalton et al. 2016). Some recent studies have emphasized “data justice” (Sourbati and Behrendt, 2020) as a significant issue to be addressed in data-driven government and policy making and thus implying a critical need for studies that demystify the transnational process of data manufacturing as secretive, non-transparent and intimidating (to global or national security).  Data is the newest and most coveted raw material and is often extracted by transnational companies (platforms), that are not transparent to the host or local authorities. How can we make these companies more accountable and improve fairness in data governance?  In order to answer this vital question, this project will use the empirical example of data manufacturing along Digital Silk Road (part of Chinese Belt and Road Initiative) to understand the emerging relations in data governance between transnational corporate entities, local authorities and local customers (and citizens), and to suggest ways of mitigating the emerging frictions. Specifically, following methodological suggestions of previous scholars (Lehtiniemi and Haapoja, 2020) it will look at data arrangements and policies that govern these arrangements in two specific domains: smart city infrastructure and smart port logistics.    The goal of the study is to investigate the processes of data manufacturing and data governance exemplified by the development of DSR’s digital infrastructure.  The specific objectives are: 1. To ...

The project" Beyond Modern Housing Heritage of Portuguese Influence, an Optimistic Architecture for Living. Comparative and Multi-Situated Perspectives on Modern Dwellings and Surrounding" explores the innovative design of the modern lifestyle achieved in modern Portuguese expression. Reloading collective housing as the core of optimistic architecture aims to establish a framework of conceptual thinking on the significance of this housing heritage, its preservation, and some of the pivotal issues concerning renewal and valorisation. Considering Architecture as a geographically and temporally localised discipline, the guiding idea is to include projects from different territories to avoid generalisations in the interest of reviewing the facts themselves. Comparative studies on residential complexes built after the Second World War will assess the impact of the building boom in Lisbon, Recife, Luanda, Maputo and Macao. The proposal will address how the efforts of Portuguese architects changed colonial strategies regarding daily life. Studying modern domestic spaces will trace their growth and their undoubted contributions to raising challenges and procedures for preserving collective housing, which is an issue at the top of the contemporary agenda. The first level establishes a direct relationship between housing and modernity through spatial planning and architectural analysis, evaluating the quality of the built environment. At the intermediate level, the aim is to distinguish innovative techniques and sustainable approaches, which can be accomplished through a popular architecture survey within technological innovation. To address this question, at a deeper level, I will examine the resilience of these complexes, including the residents' aspirations today, by looking into urban space, typology, (in)formal distribution spaces, and current innovative constructive systems. Confirming that living in a well-lit, airy and energy-efficient house is a decisive variable in ...

O projeto procura compreender onde e como redesenhar os espaços públicos na "cidade extensiva”, discutindo com os agentes o seu valor e potencial para contribuir para processo de transição sustentável. O projeto pretende estudar o que significa projetar espaços públicos sustentáveis e socialmente inclusivos na cidade extensiva, a partir de um debate sobre como atrair mais interesse e melhor investimento para este propósito.Através de uma análise crítica do espaço público das áreas periféricas na área metropolitana de Lisboa e do Porto, a investigação pretende desenvolver um raciocínio prospetivo para enfrentar os obstáculos a esta mudança. Os objetivos parciais incluem: mapear e caraterizar estes espaços públicos, localizar os principais desafios e oportunidades, desenvolver e debater novos racionais para a sua transformação e ligar o conhecimento científico e a prática.

O OPAC está a desenvolver um estudo e um mapeamento territorial designado “Atlas Artístico e Cultural de Portugal (AACP)”, ao nível de município através de um conjunto vasto de dimensões, domínios e indicadores artísticos e culturais.  Criado no decurso do estudo, são objetivos específicos do presente Programa de Apoio em Parceria DGARTES e Iscte no âmbito do OPAC: Promover a igualdade de acesso às artes reforçando a oferta, o acesso e a participação artística nos territórios identificados apoiando projetos artísticos multidisciplinares que se desenvolvam naqueles territórios, concebidos para e com as comunidades locais;  Fomentar a criação de projetos culturais com a participação e envolvimento ativo das comunidades locais, que contribuam para valorizar, capacitar e empoderar as populações e para o desenvolvimento humano, social e económico dos territórios;  Promover a participação de artistas e agentes artístico-culturais locais na criação de projetos, a consolidação de estruturas ou instituições autónomas e sustentáveis, nos diversos domínios de atividade, e de atividades em prol do desenvolvimento das comunidades, do território envolvente e do país. Neste Acordo compete ao OPAC: a) Consultadoria e colaboração na elaboração do Programa de Apoio em Parceria;b) Contribuir, em conformidade com os meios operacionais ao seu alcance, para a divulgação e promoção dos projetos apoiados;c) Integrar, ou indicar dois membros para fazer parte dos trabalhos da comissão de apreciação das candidaturas;d) Proceder à elaboração conjunta, com a DGARTES, de uma avaliação final sobre o impacto do programa de apoio (através da realização de Estudo de Casos ou outra metodologia similar) nas mais diversas vertentes, nomeadamente, sobre os domínios artísticos de atividade que se destacaram, contributos que os projetos artísticos deram para a coesão social e territorial, em particular no impacto local ao nível da criação e da fruição artística e/ou identificação de linhas de ap...

The research project focused on the development of a cutting-edge tool designed to aid organizations in enhancing their understanding and visualization of software models. The primary objective was to provide a user-friendly platform that would enable users to create, manipulate, and visualize software models in a highly intuitive and interactive manner. This tool aimed to bridge the gap between technical complexity and comprehensibility, allowing stakeholders to grasp the intricacies of software systems more effectively. By leveraging advanced visualization techniques and intuitive interfaces, the tool aimed to facilitate better communication and collaboration among software development teams, project managers, and other stakeholders. Through its innovative features, the tool aimed to empower organizations to gain deeper insights into their software models, make informed decisions, and drive efficient and effective software development processes.
