This research, based on a case study, aims to examine the contributions of the Millennium Estoril Open, a tennis event (ATP 250), to enhance and promote the Cascais destination brand. To such end, an ...empirical study was conducted in the 2019 edition, using a mixed data collection methodology through the application of questionnaires to spectators, interviews with stakeholders, and direct observation at the event. Results suggest that this event contributes to enhancing the destination brand, despite the identification of some limitations. The contribution of this sport event to the enhancement of the destination's image cannot be dissociated from the portfolio of events promoted by the region and from its consistency and regularity.
The existence of thermomineral waters in the Lisbon region (western Portugal), has been known for centuries. Several authors have investigated the characteristics of these thermomineral waters, but ...their conceptual model (recharge zone, processes controlling the origin and chemical evolution, depth of circulation, etc.) remains unknown. This work highlights the advantages of assessing the conceptual model in urban coastal areas, where different saline sources coexist, combining chemical analyses with environmental isotopes and geochemical modeling. The final physicochemical composition of thermomineral waters seems to be mainly controlled by water–rock interaction processes and different mixing degrees between HCO3-Ca regional groundwaters, cold dilute shallow groundwaters and highly salinized fluid (brackish or brine or non-recent seawater) probably trapped at depth. Based on these results, neither the contribution of polluted water nor the leaching of evaporite rocks seems to be the main salinization factor of the warmer and saline waters. A positive correlation exists between the lowest radiocarbon activities (average apparent ages ~6 ka BP) and highest water temperature and salinity (up to 39 °C and 6.3 g/L), suggesting progressive salinization and deeper circulation (up to 1200 m depth) into the hosting formations, where mixing with trapped salinized fluids probably took place, as confirmed by geochemical modeling. Finally, very favorable geological conditions in the Estoril region allow for fast rising and the occurrence of these thermomineral waters at relatively shallow depths.
The building of the ancient "Santos Jorge garage, coach house and stables", in Estoril, was ordered to be built in 1914. The architect Norte Junior was the responsible for the family holiday house ...enlargement project. The building is characterized both architectonic and constructively, as result of its exterior observation. The impossibility of interior observation which would certainly allow confronting to the exterior elements collected has to be noted. This paper presents the construction project and the buildings' chronology between 1965 and 2005, the time period for which local municipality archive holds documentation. The main aim of this article is to contribute to the material and constructive knowledge about Santos Jorge Coach House, a remarkable and abandoned construction, and so support a correct intervention.

En la zona urbana de Estoril surgen aguas termales calientes de fuentes naturales conocidas desde el siglo XIXL. as aguas termales son del tipo cloruro sódico, y tienen una cantidad total de sólidos ...disueltos y una temperatura mayores que la habitual en las aguas regionales. Los datos isotópicos sugieren un origen meteórico tanto para las aguas regionales como para las termales, ya que los valores δ180 O están comprendidos entre -4.16 y -3.52 (%O) y los δ2H entre -25.5 y -18.7 (%o). La composición de las aguas termales puede deducirse de la composición de las aguas regionales, teniendo en cuenta la disolución de minerales evaporíticos, el intercambio de cationes y la precipitación de calcita. La zona de recarga del sistema de flujo acuático se localiza probablemente entre Estoril y las montañas de Sintra. La diferencia de cota topográfica entre la zona de recarga y el mar es la causante del movimiento del agua subterránea hacia la zona de Estoril, donde el ascenso de aguas mineralizadas y calientes está controlado por una barrera impermeable de diques y fracturas abiertas en la roca pre-existente.
ThesearetheproceedingsoftheInternationalWorkshoponProgrammingMulti- Agent Systems (ProMAS 2008), the sixth of a series of workshops that is aimed at discussing and providing an overview of current ...state-of-the-art technology for programming multi-agent systems. The aim of the ProMAS workshop series is to promote research on progr- ming technologies and tools that can e?ectively contribute to the development and deployment of multi-agent systems. In particular, the workshop promotes the discussion and exchange of ideas concerning the techniques, concepts, - quirements, and principles that are important for establishing multi-agent p- gramming platforms that are useful in practice and have a theoretically sound basis. Topics addressed include but are not limited to the theory and app- cations of agent programming languages, the veri?cation and analysis of agent systems,aswellastheimplementationofsocialstructureinagent-basedsystems (e. g. ,roleswithin organizations,coordinationandcommunicationin multi-agent systems). In its previous editions, ProMAS constituted an invaluable occasion bringing together leading researchers from both academia and industry to discuss issues on the design of programming languages and tools for multi-agent systems. We were very pleased to be able to again present a range of high-quality papers at ProMAS 2008. After ?ve successful editions of the ProMAS workshop series, which took place during AAMAS 2003 (Melbourne, Australia), AAMAS 2004 (New York, USA), AAMAS 2005 (Utrecht, The Netherlands), AAMAS 2006 (Hakodate, Japan), and AAMAS 2007 (Honolulu, Hawai'i), the sixth edition took place on May 13 in Estoril, Portugal, in conjunction with AAMAS 2008, the main international conference on autonomous agents and MAS.
This volume contains the set of revised selected papers presented at the 21st International Conference on Information Networking (ICOIN 2007), which was held in Estoril, Portugal, January 23-25, ...2007. The conference series started under the name of Joint Workshop on Computer Communications, in 1986. At that time, it constituted a technical meeting for researchersand engineers on - ternet technologies in East Asian countries, where several technical networking issues were discussed. In 1993, the meeting was reorganized as an international conference known as ICOIN. Recent conferences were held in Sendai, Japan (2006),Jeju,Korea(2005),Pusan,Korea(2004),Jeju,Korea(2003),Jeju,Korea (2002), Beppu City, Japan (2001), Hsin-chu, Taiwan (2000), and Tokyo, Japan (1999). In 2007, for the ?rst time since its creation, ICOIN took place outside Asia, and we were very pleased to host it in Portugal. ICOIN 2007 was or- nized by INESC-ID and IST/Technical University of Lisbon (Portugal) with the technical co-sponsorship of IEEE Communications Society and IEEE Portugal Section-Computer Society Chapter, in cooperation with the Order of Engineers CollegeofInformaticsEngineering(Portugal),IPSJ(InformationProcessing- ciety of Japan), KISS (Korea Information Science Society), and Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS), Springer, Germany. The papers presented in this volume were selected in two stages: 1) revi- ing and selection for the ICOIN program and 2) on-site presentation review by session chairs or by program committee chairs.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the International Workshop on Service-Oriented Computing held in Estoril, as an associated event of AAMAS 2008. The 11 revised papers presented address topics ...at the intersection of service-oriented computing, semantic technology, and intelligent multiagent systems.
