The third year systems development group project forms an essential part of the Information Systems major at the University of Cape Town. The field of Information Technology / Information Systems requires the maintenance or development of large information systems which often involves complex tasks. As effective teams are at the core of high performance organizations exposure to teamwork is important in the preparation of students for the real world environment. To ensure high quality products and limit high failure rates of projects, teams should be carefully selected. This paper explores existing team selection approaches and discusses the mechanisms put in place in the systems development group project with the emphasis on self-selected teams as a sound base for team formation. It further reports on the incorporation of the criteria defining effectiveness and effective teams into the course to prepare individual members for the rigours of industry.

Abstract The operational drilling history in a particularly challenging shale consistently shows that once the formation's shale reacts, and starts to disperse, in the face of a typical water base mud application, a variety of hole problems are experienced by the operator. These problems include wellbore instability caused by an unstoppable sloughing of the shale; the experiencing of tight hole conditions while performing the wiper trip; caved shale sticking to shakers while drilling; an increased dilution rate due to mud weight; a low LGS % (low gravity solids), and fluid viscosity. To solve this longstanding drilling challenge, a team formed from operator and service provider experts determined via high-level research and testing the need for an innovative new technology of inhibitive fluid chemistry. After extensive testing, the team determined that a particular environmentally friendly Nano Polymer high-performance water-based mud (HPWBM)—one possessing the unique shale inhibition and cutting encapsulation capabilities capable of stabilizing this sticky shale—was the best fit for this application. We will present the investigational learning and effective field trial drilling of high problematic shale that was evaluated during and subsequently the utilization of nanoparticles (NP) to advance water-based mud (WBM) inhibition properties, proven to offer an eco-friendly Nano Polymer HPWBM substitute with the improved thermal and rheological permanency of the overall WBM formulation. Results will display that while providing more effective drilling and wellbore stability, this technology is also a far cleaner industry alternative.

<p>Recent research on virtual teams highlights the importance of high quality relationships to achieve high team performance. For research and development (R&amp;D) virtual project teams, relationships characterized by cooperation and trust are expected to enhance creativity and innovation among team members. The purpose of this paper is to identify variables enabling high quality relationship building in virtual R&amp;D teams and to analyze their influence on team performance. To this end, this study examines the effects of leadership, work organization and communication practices on the quality of the relationship between team members. The theoretical developments are illustrated through a case study of a car development project in a leading French car-making firm, PSA. Our findings show that dynamic and positive leadership plays an important role in enhancing relationships between team members. The results also highlight the importance of synchronous meetings and frequent and regular interaction to build cooperative and trusty relationships leading to high performance.</p>

&lt;p&gt;Weather forecasts produced by ECMWF and environmental services by the Copernicus programme act as a vital input for many downstream simulations and applications. A variety of products, such as ECMWF reanalyses and archived forecasts, are additionally available to users via the MARS archive and the Copernicus data portal. Transferring, storing and locally modifying large volumes of such data prior to integration currently presents a significant challenge to users. The key aim for ECMWF within the H2020 HiDALGO project (https://hidalgo-project.eu/) is to migrate these tasks to the cloud, thereby facilitating fast and seamless application integration by enabling precise and efficient data delivery to the end-user. The required cloud infrastructure development will also feed into ECMWF's contribution to the European Weather Cloud pilot which is a collaborative cloud development project between ECMWF and EUMETSAT.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The HiDALGO project aims to implement a set of services and functionality to enable the simulation of complex global challenges which require massive high performance computing resources alongside state-of-the-art data analytics and visualization. The HiDALGO use-case workflows are comprised of four main components: pre-processing, numerical simulation, post-processing and visualization.&amp;#160;The core simulations are ideally suited to running in a dedicated HPC environment,&amp;#160;while the pre-/post-processing and visualisation tasks are generally well suited to running in a cloud environment. Enabling and efficiently managing and orchestrating the integration of both HPC and cloud environments to improve overall performance and functionality is the key goal of HiDALGO.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;ECMWF's role in the project will be to enable seamless integration of two pilot applications with its meteorological data and services (such as data exploration, analysis and visualisation) delivered via ECMWF's cloud and orchestrated by bespoke HiDALGO workflows. The demonstrated workflows show the increased value which can be created from weather forecasts, but also derived forecasts for air quality which are provided by the Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Service (CAMS).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This poster will give a&amp;#160;general overview of HiDALGO project and its main aims and objectives.&amp;#160;It will present the two test pilot applications which will be used for integration, and an overview of the general workflows and services within HiDALGO.&amp;#160;In particular, it will focus on how ECMWF's cloud data and services will couple with the test pilot applications thereby improving overall workflow performance and enabling access to new data and products for the pilot users.&lt;/p&gt;

MPSO, mono-column hull type FPSO, is attracting the interest as a floating production system which has high performance for motion and large tank capacity in recent years. The authors had performed a mooring system safety evaluation of a MPSO named ‘MONOBR’ which was assumed to be installed at the Gulf of Mexico in the international collaborative research and development project between PETROBRAS and JOGMEC. There exists a strong current called the Loop current in the Gulf of Mexico. It is known that cylindrical floaters like SPARs or MPSOs sway with the long period and large amplitude in the transverse direction of the current. The motion is called Vortex Induced Motion (VIM), and is caused by vortex shedding from the sidewall of the floater. VIM is one of the important issues in the safety evaluation of mooring system of MPSO. Generally, the combined environmental conditions in which wind, waves and current exist are concerned for the safety evaluation of mooring systems. Therefore, it needs to estimate VIM in waves and current. The authors had performed the VIM measurement tests in order to investigate the estimation method of VIM in waves and current. The results of the VIM measurement test in waves and current and the results of the mooring safety evaluation method using the estimation method of VIM in waves and current are described in this paper.
