Because of perpetual changes in user needs and the appearance of new software and hardware components for SPL, maintaining a certain level of variability at all stages of their full life cycle (FLC) becomes an actual problem. One of the most important stages is requirements engineering. To support this process it is advisable to utilize the methods of expert knowledge elicitation and analysis. Based on the recognized multilevel approach to SPL engineering proposed by K. Pohl, the research goal is to develop an approach to correct specification of variability features at the initial stages of SPL FLC. The analysis of methods to extract and process the expert knowledge is carried out, their classification is presented, and the method of repertory grid (RG) is chosen for the further usage. It allows analyzing and structuring expert knowledge in a multidimensional information space and makes it possible to consider various contextual factors that affect relevant requirements for the target SPL. The essentials of the RG method are considered and its formal description is elaborated. The examples of its usage in designing “Smart House” systems which allow analyzing the technical, social and economic aspects of user requirements for software and hardware variability at the conceptual design stage of these systems are considered. As the result, a possibility to automate a process of a corresponding FODA-model creation is shown. That provides variability support at the next FLC stages of such systems.","PeriodicalId":53765,"journal":{"name":"Meridiano 47-Journal of Global Studies","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87604402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analysis of software solutions, as well as, the conclusions as for the possibility of developing additional information arrays based on existing sources of scientific and scientometric information have been presented. The paper offers the approaches to storing scientometric information, the optimized methods of obtaining and processing data. That provides the ability to digitize publications to simplify searching and filtering scientific information and its further processing and replenishment of information arrays with a new data. The architectural templates have been analyzed and the Viper has been selected as the most suitable architectural template for the distribution of responsibilities and test coverage of the application. The choice of Swift programming language has been substantiated. Strengths and weaknesses of these technologies have been considered. The OS and Firebase data storage tool have been selected and discussed. The advantages of those technologies for the development of a mobile application have been listed. The purpose of the work is to create a mobile application for the operating system \"iOS\", version 11.0. The application must be a client that works with Firebase Cloud Firestore, which allows searching and filtering publications, as well as, adding and deleting records from Firebase Cloud Firestore for the administrators. Therefore it is necessary to implement the functionality that allows registering new and authorizing registered users. The object of the research is processing scientometric and scientific knowledge.

To design intelligent components and on their basis to synthesize adaptive computer systems for managing the microclimate and energy efficiency of greenhouses is an urgent problem. The purpose of the work is to analyze greenhouse management modes, to make comparative characteristic of the process automation systems, to develop an information scheme of greenhouse-environment interaction, as well as, a structural scheme of greenhouse microclimate control, to select modern technologies to implement automatic climate control systems and to analyze the capabilities of the developed control model of a technological process. The research methods are based on the basic principles of the theory of heat and mass transfer using modern elements of computerized control. The structure of the greenhouse microclimate control system with a variable composition of equipment that provides rapid adaptation to the management requirements of a particular greenhouse has been developed. It has been proposed to develop the components and the structure of a greenhouse microclimate control system with implementation of the comprehensive approach, which includes communication and information management systems and technologies, a modern element base, the Android software, decision support tools. This approach is based on the following principles: consistency, variability of the equipment composition, openness, modularity, and usage of a set of basic design solutions. The microcontroller is the central control device of the entire control system. An availability graph of the client-server communication for the greenhouse microclimate control system, which has two final states, has been developed.","PeriodicalId":53765,"journal":{"name":"Meridiano 47-Journal of Global Studies","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85883323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

United States-based think tanks noticed this heightened engagement and subsequently produced a considerable volume of research about Brazilian foreign policy. This article employs discourse analysis as its research method, as well as post-structuralist and post-colonial theoretical approaches, to understand the representation that Brookings and CFR publications crafted about Brazil as an “emerging” or “rising” power. Specifically, we argue that Brazil was typically portrayed in a positive light. However, this constitution was based on hierarchical and racialized thinking that seeks to reaffirm preexisting global power relations.","PeriodicalId":53765,"journal":{"name":"Meridiano 47-Journal of Global Studies","volume":"86 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73480423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The so called 2030 Agenda of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) had changed the narrative of global development putting into motion some transformations in the multiple existing dimensions of our global reality, but also letting some questions behind. The main objective of this article is to characterize the 2030 international order from a Global South stance, presenting the state of the art on the debate regarding the Agenda 2030 and the SDGs. Methodologically, it draws from a hybrid approach on historical international relations, qualitative content analysis (QCA) and critical discourse analysis (CDA). The main argument is that a new international order called the 2030 international order seems to be under construction. The idea is to produce a text of reference to discuss the design of international order in the 21st Century; the theoretical and conceptual disputes on multiple themes associated with the 17 SDGs; and looking through the architectural foundations of SDG global politics, such as territorialisation, financing, indicators, interactions and synergies and, acceleration actions.","PeriodicalId":53765,"journal":{"name":"Meridiano 47-Journal of Global Studies","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83201008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
