Abstract
The discrete sampling of a wave-front using a Shack-Hartmann sensor limits the maximum spatial frequency we can measure and impacts sensitivity to frequencies at the high end of the correction band due to aliasing. Here we present Wiener filters for wave-front reconstruction in the spatial-frequency domain, ideally suited for systems with a high number of degrees of freedom. We develop a theoretical anti-aliasing (AA) Wiener filter that optimally takes into account high-order wave-front terms folded in-band during the sensing (i.e., discrete sampling) process. We present Monte-Carlo simulation results for residual wave-fronts and propagated noise and compare to standard reconstruction techniques (in the spatial domain). To cope with finite telescope aperture we've developed and optimised a Gerchberg-Saxton like iterative-algorithm that provides superior performance.

Abstract
Demand response concept has been gaining increasing importance while the success of several recent implementations makes this resource benefits unquestionable. This happens in a power systems operation environment that also considers an intensive use of distributed generation. However, more adequate approaches and models are needed in order to address the small size consumers and producers aggregation, while taking into account these resources goals. The present paper focuses on the demand response programs and distributed generation resources management by a Virtual Power Player that optimally aims to minimize its operation costs taking the consumption shifting constraints into account. The impact of the consumption shifting in the distributed generation resources schedule is also considered. The methodology is applied to three scenarios based on 218 consumers and 4 types of distributed generation, in a time frame of 96 periods.

Abstract
This paper describes an exploration towards the transposition of service science principles into design guidelines. This aims at capturing value co-creation service interactions embedding customer experience in service design and delivery activities. The new Socio-Technical Systems Engineering (STSE) process is proposed to guide improved design, and it is exemplified with a new real time service that provides integrated information for trip planning in a city. The STSE process supports a high level visual modelling approach assisted by model execution and simulation tools. From a service engineering perspective, the outcomes of this process are artefacts that automatically support consistency among design steps and effective integration of customer experience and stakeholder requirements through iterative cycles related to service design. The application of the STSE process in the design of an exploratory case study of a real time information and travel planning service is validated through simulation using an executable representation of requirements. It can be executed over more complex transport service offerings, with different resource allocation algorithms, or different public transport planning services over a sample of real users requesting information. Results of such a simulation are beneficial for the users, for the service providers, and for the authorities managing public transport in city or metropolitan areas.

Abstract
Over 250 million people, worldwide, are affected by chronic lung conditions such as Asthma and COPD. These can cause breathlessness, a harsh decrease in quality of life and, if left undetected or not properly managed, even death. In this paper, we approached part of the lines of development suggested upon earlier work. This concerned the development of a system design for a smartphone lung function classification app, which would only use recordings from the built-in microphone. A more systematic method to evaluate the relevant combinations of methods was devised and an additional set of 44 recordings was used for testing purposes. The previous 101 were kept for training the models. The results enabled to further reduce the signal processing pipeline leading to the use of 6 envelopes, per recording, half of the previous amount. An analysis of the classification performances is provided for both previous tasks: differentiation into Normal from Abnormal lung function, and between multiple lung function patterns. The results from this project encourage further development of the system.

Abstract
Internal marketing at the European Union (EU) level needs to involve training and motivating the younger generation to want to be a part of something bigger than themselves and than their nations. It should involve the creation of a unified and identifiable European culture - knowing that culture, along with leadership, continues to be one of "the least understood topics in the social sciences" (Chhokar et al., 2008, p. 1). Schein (1992, p. 5) wrote that "leaders create and change cultures" and so, in this respect, the EU needs to act much as a company does, preparing its "staff" [EU members], in particular the future generation, to work together towards a common goal - towards a more competitive Europe, with improved quality of life. Too little is being done though, we argue, and indeed our study shows. One important internal EU marketing initiative is the Euroscola day whose objective is to "allow thousands of young Europeans to be in the shoes of Members of European Parliament for a day!" (EU, 2014). In March 2015, 24 Portuguese students, in the 11th and 12th grades at high school and all studying in Porto, went to the Euroscola day. Divided into large groups in Strasbourg, they did an ice-breaker activity to bring the various youths of different nationalities closer together and then discussed a number of important political issues which were subsequently discussed and voted on in the "European Parliament" where hundreds of other students in the same age group were gathered and seated in the hemicycle, having come from their nations to participate. Cooperation across cultures is a main focus and this EU internal marketing activity is fully EU-funded. Eight students of the aforementioned Portuguese contingent were approached for their views on the event (one of the group leaders was interviewed and seven others answered a qualitative survey, with the same questions as the interview). The results show that the students appreciated, learned from, and enjoyed the Euroscola day and indeed are willing to be EU ambassadors, as was suggested and asked of them at the event. However, on the other hand, the students are not aware of any other EU internal marketing activities being performed and so not enough is being done to create a unified culture with EU citizens becoming more cohesive as time goes by. This article discusses what other pro-EU educational activity could take place for the younger generation, discussing also the different views of Portuguese, British, and German citizen interviewees (in 33 individual interviews) concerning the future of the EU in itself. EU marketing needs to go beyond the electoral act and time frame and it needs to forge a future where EU citizens will want to cooperate with each other - and this will inevitably involve a new approach to educating our youths. "What must be common. such that they may be ruled through the same institutions?" (White, 2011, p. 1).

Abstract
The internationalization of firms has reached levels never seen before. As a consequence and in order to face the new competitive challenges of globalized markets, industrial small and medium-sized enterprises must be able to adapt to new organizational approaches, to innovate and to further develop their networks. Based on a case study, this chapter reviews the literature on internationalization and networks and addresses a less researched topic of Supplier-Clients relationships in the value chain referring to the importance of the networks, resources and collaborative new product development on the internationalization process of firms. The case reports a successful Ex-Small technical textile company that leveraged its competitive strategy based on technology-based paths and is thriving in both domestic and international markets.
