Abstract
This paper reports on the development of specific slicing techniques for functional programs and their use for the identification of possible coherent components from monolithic code. An associated tool is also introduced. This piece of research is part of a broader project on program understanding and re-engineering of legacy code supported by formal methods.

Abstract
Business Networking is an innovative business paradigm that can help companies to remain competitive in the market. Nevertheless, its practical implementation is very complicated because of the several dimensions that it involves. There are several cases of business network cooperation; however, each one has its particular characteristics that determine its success. This paper addresses the domain of collaborative networks, established by SME in textile industry, in the scope of an academic research project based on a case study research methodology and centered on a large industrial pole in Brasil.

Abstract
The use of fibre Bragg grating sensors to study dental materials like resin-based composite and gypsum products is reported. Two commercially available composite resins and three types of gypsum products were tested in order to determine polymerization contraction and setting expansion. Temperature and strain evolution during the hardening phase of the material were also obtained. The presented technique can be a good tool for dentists in order to better manipulate a material and predict how it will behave in vivo.

Abstract
Good design and implementation are necessary but not sufficient pre-requisites for the successful reuse of object-oriented frameworks. Although not always recognized, good documentation is crucial for effective framework reuse and comes with many issues. Defining and writing good quality documentation for a framework is often hard, costly, and tiresome, especially when not aware of its key problems and the best ways to address them. This document presents patterns from a set of related patterns that describe proven solutions to recurrent problems of documenting object-oriented frameworks. The pattern language they all form together aims at helping non-experts on cost-effectively documenting object-oriented frameworks. The patterns here presented address the problems of explaining how to use a framework and illustrating what it can be good for, respectively the patterns "COOKBOOK & RECIPES" and "GRADED EXAMPLES".

Abstract
This paper describes the use of fibre Bragg grating (FBG) sensors to measure strains at a mandible surface that are caused by static or impact loads on a dental implant. The measuring apparatus uses a fixed optical filter reference scheme and is able to detect dynamic signals with frequency components of up to 10 kHz. A dried implanted cadaveric mandible was used with strain gauges and FBG sensors placed at the outer surface in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the implant. The implants were loaded statically and dynamically and uniaxial strains recorded. The study demonstrates the ability of the FBG as a biomechanical sensor.
