Abstract
Cooperative vehicle platooning applications increasingly demand realistic simulation tools to ease their validation, and to bridge the gap between development and real-word deployment. However, their complexity and cost, often hinders its validation in the real-world. In this paper we propose a realistic simulation framework for vehicular platoons that integrates Gazebo with OMNeT++ over Robot Operating System (ROS) to support the simulation of realistic scenarios of autonomous vehicular platoons and their cooperative control.

ASSEMBLY AUTOMATION
Abstract
Purpose This paper aims to provide a service-based integrated prototype framework for the design of reusable modular assembly systems (RMAS) incorporating reusability of equipment into the process. It extends AutomationML (AML) developments for an engineering data exchange to integrate and standardize the data formats that support the design of RMAS. Design/methodology/approach The approach provides a set of systematic procedures and support tools for the design of RMAS. This includes enhanced domain knowledge models that facilitate the interpretation and integration of information across the design phases. Findings The inclusion of reusability aspects in the design phase improves the sustainability of future assembly systems, by ensuring equipment use until its end-of-life. Moreover, the integrated support tools reduce the design time, while improving the quality/performance of the system design solution, as it enables the exploration of a larger solution space. This will result in a better response to dynamic and rapidly changing system requirements. Social implications - This work provides a sustainable approach for the design of modular assembly systems (MAS), which will ensure better resource utilization. Additionally, the standardization of the data and the support of low cost tools is expected to benefit industrial companies, particularly the small- and medium-sized enterprises. Originality/value This approach offers a service-based platform which uses production data to incorporate reusability aspects into the design process of modular assembly system. Moreover, it provides a framework for modular assembly system design by extending the current design processes and interactions between stakeholders. To support this, a standardized method for information representation and exchange across the several phases of the RMAS design activity is briefly illustrated with an industrial case study.

Abstract
The Business School of the Polytechnic of Porto, Portugal aiming at following the demands of the region decided to make available a master's degree program in e-business. This paper describes the study held ascertain the most relevant skills to be considered in the master program. In order to obtain relevant feedback, an interview was conducted to professionals working in the field. Also, a questionnaire was applied to the students attending the last year of undergraduate after working programs, since they have already professional experience in related fields. The most relevant skills were identified, and curriculum was defined for the master's degree according to the analysis of the results of these activities.

Abstract
The automation of tasks is increasingly a current practice in the organizational environment, and this practice reduces the need for manpower and often reduces the errors associated with the human factor. In the present document a solution will be presented to automatically generate the source code of a mockup, having as input an image corresponding to the prototype. In the development of this project techniques of Deep Learning will be used, especially Convolutional Neural Networks for the detection and classification of objects in images. The developed solution provides the code base of a mockup in less than 60 seconds, with an average error rate 15.85%.
