Abstract
A complete analysis of the vascular system is a complex task since a large number of parameters are involved. In the research herein reported we present a novel medical framework called web-based integration for vascular expert research networks (Wivern) to be used in a multi-clinical department environment for the analysis of micro and macrocirculation. This tool can manage clinical information of several specialties, such as Neurology or Ophthalmology, and provides computer-aided tools to automatically analyze retinographies, carotid ultrasounds and blood pressure monitor signals, and to automatically compute cardiovascular risk stratification. Wivern is a web-based application with a user friendly interface that provides cross-platform compatibility and device independence. Several automated procedures are integrated within the framework, as a service on the web, to extract relevant parameters from clinical data, physiological signals and medical images. The application is planned for collecting and analyzing data in several clinical studies in different hospital centers to test their behavior and practical use of the different tools of the platform. The usefulness and validation of the system was achieved after the inclusion, by the different medical units, of 800 patients to analyze their hypertensive profile. Moreover, 800 retinal images were processed as well as 400 carotid were analyzed. Wivern provides a unique opportunity for vascular research since it enables an interdisciplinary and integrated study of the vascular network, allowing a more comprehensive evaluation of the consequences of any abnormality. The application also includes automated methods to process patient data in order to simplify the physician tasks.

Abstract
We present a novel way to link business process model with data protection risk management. We use established body of knowledge regarding risk manager concepts and business process towards data protections. We try to contribute to the problems that today organizations should find a suitable data protection model that could be used in as a risk framework. The purpose of this document is to define a model to describe data protection in the context of risk. Our approach including the identification of the main concepts of data protection according to the scope of the with EU directive data protection regulation. We outline data protection model as a continuous way of protection valued organization information regarding personal identifiable information. Data protection encompass the preservation of personal data information from unauthorized access, use, modification, recording or destruction. Since this kind of service is offered in a continuous way, it is important to stablish a way to measure the effectiveness of awareness of data subject discloses regrading personal identifiable information.

Abstract
This paper provides an overview of the development of a selforiented solar mirror (SOSM) project within the European Project Semester (EPS) at Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto (ISEP). While the main objective of the EPS@ISEP project-based educational framework is to foster teamwork, communication, interpersonal and problem solving skills in an international, multidisciplinary engineering environment, the goal of the SOSM is to track and reflect the Sun radiation onto a pre-defined area. In the spring of 2017 a group of five students chose to develop a proof-of-concept domestic SOSM called SUNO. The students undertook project supportive modules in Ethics, Sustainability, Marketing and Project Management together with project coaching meetings to assist the development of SUNO. The paper details this process, describing the initial project definition, the research of current technologies, the designing, the manufacturing and testing of the SUNO prototype, and discusses what the students gained from this learning experience.
