  The introduction of Industry 4.0 and IIoT has enabled the interconnection of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) and exposed industrial control systems to cyber threats. Industrial cybersecurity requires knowledge, skill, and collaboration between IT and OT. A comparison of graduate curricula of software engineering and systems engineering identifies competencies related to industrial control systems cybersecurity. Industry experts are interviewed to identify needs for cybersecurity skills and competencies. Results from the mapping are discussed in the context of software and systems engineering challenges in ICS cybersecurity and leveraged against industry experiences and needs expressed through interviews with three OT and IT industry professionals. The curricula mapping reveals variations in both how they are organised and expressed to the extent that subjective interpretation is required for evaluation and comparison. The interviews with the industry experts indicate a gap between graduate competence from the curricula and industry needs.

  Visual Analytics (VA) is a multidisciplinary field that requires various skills including but not limited to data analytics, visualizations, and the corresponding domain knowledge. Recently, many studies proposed creating and using Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) for VA in order to abstract complexities and assist designers in developing better VAs for different data domains. However, development methods and types of DSLs vary for different applications and objectives. In this study, we conducted a systematic literature review to overview DSL methods and their intended applications for VA systems. Moreover, the review outlines the benefits and limitations of each of these methods. The aim is to provide decision support for both the research and development communities to choose the most compatible approach for their application. We think the communication of this research delivers a broad figure of previous relevant research and assists with the transfer and adaptation of the results to other domains.

  The software industry has witnessed a growing interest in DevSecOps due to the premises of integrating security in the software development lifecycle. However, security compliance cannot be disregarded, given the importance of adherence to regulations, laws, industry standards, and frameworks. This study aims to provide an overview of compliance aspects in the context of DevSecOps and explore how compliance is ensured. Furthermore, this study reveals the trends of compliance according to the extant literature and identifies potential directions for further research in this context. Therefore, we carried out a systematic literature review on the integration of compliance aspects in DevSecOps, which rigorously followed the guidelines proposed by Kitchenham and Charters. We found 934 articles related to the topic by searching five bibliographic databases (163) and Google Scholar (771). Through a rigorous selection process, we selected 15 papers as primary studies. Then, we identified the compliance aspects of DevSecOps and grouped them into three main categories: compliance initiation, compliance management, and compliance technicalities. We observed a low number of studies; therefore, we encourage further efforts into the exploration of compliance aspects, their automated integration, and the development of metrics to evaluate such a process in the context of DevSecOps.

  Background: The popularity of DevSecOps is on the rise because it promises to integrate a greater degree of security into software delivery pipelines. However, there is also an unacceptable risk related to safety that cannot be overlooked, given the importance of this aspect in many industries. Objective: The objective of this study is to provide an overview of the safety aspects reported in the literature on DevSecOps. This study also characterizes such aspects and identifies the gaps that may lead to future research work. Method: A systematic literature review was conducted using five well-known academic databases. The search was executed in September 2021 and March 2022 to identify relevant studies. Results: The search returned 114 academic studies. After the screening process, five primary studies published between 2019 and 2021 were selected. These studies were analyzed thoroughly to identify the safety aspects. Then, we categorized them into three main groups: (i) risk-related safety aspects, (ii) human-related aspects, and (iii) management aspects. Conclusion: Safety is an important characteristic that is becoming more critical as the number of critical systems grows. This review reveals that only a scarce number of studies are focusing on safety in DevSecOps. However, those studies gave us some insights into this topic. Therefore, our main observation is that this topic has not yet been completely explored in the academic literature. This review can encourage reflection and discussion between the safety and security communities.

  Over the last decade, corporate networks have undergone significant changes and have been increasingly reliant on cloud-based services to run their businesses. The Covid-19 pandemic has expedited this pattern. In this scenario, there is a need to provide security to infrastructures in an advanced and integrated way. Gartner invented the term “Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)” to meet the above-mentioned goal. SASE is a single framework cloud-native architecture that integrates various network and security functions. SASE is seen as a new cybersecurity solution that impacted established vendors but has received little academic attention. Therefore, in this paper, we present a Multivocal Literature Review (MVLR) aiming to gather an illustration of SASE, including definition, key characteristics, reported benefits and challenges and, finally, critiques of this new term. SASE is adopting the benefits of cloud approaches adding security to the service, however, challenges remain in several setups, including legacy systems.

  Emotion Analysis extends the idea of Sentiment Analysis by shifting from plain positive or negative sentiments to a rich variety of emotions to get better understanding of the users’ thoughts and appraisals. The move from Sentiment Analysis to Emotion Analysis requires, however, better feature engineering techniques when it comes to capturing complex language phenomena, which have to do with figurative language and the way of expressing oneself. In this manuscript we detail the participation of the UMUTeam in EmoEvalEs’2021 shared task from IberLEF, concerning the identification of emotions in Spanish. Our proposal is grounded on the combination of explainable linguistic features and state-of-the-art transformers based on the Spanish version of BERT. We achieved the 6th position in the official leader board with an accuracy of 68.5990%, only 4.1667% below the best result. In addition, we apply model agnostic techniques for explainable artificial intelligence to achieve insights from the linguistic features. We observed a correlation between psycho-linguistic processes and perceptual feel with the emotions evaluated and, pecifically, with documents labelled as sadness.

  Sexism is harmful behaviour that can make women feel worthless promoting self-censorship and gender inequality. In the digital era, misogynists have found in social networks a place in which they can spread their oppressive discourse towards women. Although this particular form of oppressive speech is banned and punished on most social networks, its identification is quite challenging due to the large number of messages posted everyday. Moreover, sexist comments can be unnoticed as condescends or friendly statements which hinders its identification even for humans. With the aim of improving automatic sexist identification on social networks, we participate in EXIST-2021. This shared task involves the identification and categorisation of sexism language on Spanish and English documents compiled from micro-blogging platforms. Specifically, two tasks were proposed, one concerning a binary classification of sexism utterances and another regarding multi-class identification of sexist traits. Our proposal for solving both tasks is grounded on the combination of linguistic features and state-of-the-art transformers by means of ensembles and multi-input neural networks. To address the multi-language problem, we tackle the problem independently by language to put the results together at the end. Our best result was achieved in task 1 with an accuracy of 75.14% and 61.70% for task 2.

  The progressive incorporation of humans as active players within the Internet of Things domain, has positioned the smartphone as one of the main elements of this environment. The multiple functionalities that this device offers, along with its rapid evolution, have benefited usability, thus improving user experience, making this appliance a versatile pocket assistant. Nowadays, these devices comprise a large number of special-purpose sensors capable of collecting a variety of information, that along with the data from other mobile applications such as online social networks, is the fuel for new IoT systems. Much of this data is used to offer innovative services in several areas, making the smartphone an ideal medium for acquiring information. Unfortunately, the control of data flows between smartphones and new IoT systems is scarce, triggering concerns around users' privacy. Also, we could add to the list the limited privacy preservation mechanisms in current mobile operating systems. It is for this reason that this article aims to propose a privacy-preserving framework that can be integrated into people-centric IoT systems. Besides introducing the architecture of our PACHA framework, the manuscript will present the new vision of our ISABELA platform derived from the integration with the privacy-preserving model.

  Over the last 3 decades, researchers have attempted to shed light into the requirements traceability problem by introducing tracing tools, techniques, and methods with the vision of achieving ubiquitous traceability. Despite the technological advances, requirements traceability remains problematic for researchers and practitioners. This study aims to identify and investigate the main challenges in implementing (semi-)automated requirements traceability, as reported in the recent literature. A systematic literature review was carried out based on the guidelines for systematic literature reviews in software engineering, proposed by Kitchenham. We retrieved 4530 studies by searching five major bibliographic databases and selected 70 primary studies. These studies were analysed and classified according to the challenges they present and/or address. Twenty-one challenges were identified and were classified into five categories. Findings reveal that the most frequent challenges are technological challenges, in particular, low accuracy of traceability recovery methods. Findings also suggest that future research efforts should be devoted to the human facet of tracing, to explore traceability practices in organisational settings, and to develop traceability approaches that support agile and DevOps practices. Finally, it is recommended that researchers leverage blockchain technology as a suitable technical solution to ensure the trustworthiness of traceability information in interorganisational software projects.

  Social robots are increasingly penetrating our daily lives. They are used in various domains, such as healthcare, education, business, industry, and culture. However, introducing this technology for use in conventional environments is not trivial. For users to accept social robots, a positive user experience is vital, and it should be considered as a critical part of the robots’ development process. This may potentially lead to excessive use of social robots and strengthen their diffusion in society. The goal of this study is to summarize the extant literature that is focused on user experience in social robots, and to identify the challenges and benefits of UX evaluation in social robots. To achieve this goal, the authors carried out a systematic literature review that relies on PRISMA guidelines. Our findings revealed that the most common methods to evaluate UX in social robots are questionnaires and interviews. UX evaluations were found out to be beneficial in providing early feedback and consequently in handling errors at an early stage. However, despite the importance of UX in social robots, robot developers often neglect to set UX goals due to lack of knowledge or lack of time. This study emphasizes the need for robot developers to acquire the required theoretical and practical knowledge on how to perform a successful UX evaluation.

  The novel, yet disruptive blockchain technology has witnessed growing attention, due to its intrinsic potential. Besides the conventional domains that benefit from such potential, such as finance, supply chain and healthcare, blockchain use cases in software engineering have emerged recently. In this study, we aim to contribute to the body of knowledge of blockchain-oriented software engineering by providing an adequate overview of the software engineering applications enabled by blockchain technology. To do so, we carried out a systematic mapping study and identified 22 primary studies. Then, we extracted data within the research type, research topic and contribution type facets. Findings suggest an increasing trend of studies since 2018. Additionally, findings reveal the potential of using blockchain technologies as an alternative to centralized systems, such as GitHub, Travis CI, and cloud-based package managers, and also to establish trust between parties in collaborative software development. We also found out that smart contracts can enable the automation of a variety of software engineering activities that usually require human reasoning, such as the acceptance phase, payments to software engineers, and compliance adherence. In spite of the fact that the field is not yet mature, we believe that this systematic mapping study provides a holistic overview that may benefit researchers interested in bringing blockchain to the software industry, and practitioners willing to understand how blockchain can transform the software development industry.

  Managing risk is essential for every organization. However, significant opportunities may be lost by concentrating on the negative aspects of risk without bearing in mind the positive attributes. The objective of Project Risk Management: Managing Software Development Risk is to provide a distinct approach to a broad range of risks and rewards associated with the design, development, implementation and deployment of software systems. The traditional perspective of software development risk is to view risk as a negative characteristic associated with the impact of potential threats. The perspective of this book is to explore a more discerning view of software development risks, including the positive aspects of risk associated with potential beneficial opportunities. A balanced approach requires that software project managers approach negative risks with a view to reduce the likelihood and impact on a software project, and approach positive risks with a view to increase the likelihood of exploiting opportunities. Project Risk Management: Managing Software Development Risk explores software development risk both from a technological and business perspective. Issues regarding strategies for software development are discussed and topics including risks related to technical performance, outsourcing, cybersecurity, scheduling, quality, costs, opportunities and competition are presented. Bringing together concepts across the broad spectrum of software engineering with a project management perspective, this volume represents both a professional and scholarly perspective on the topic. Separates risk into two viewpoints: Positive Risk - an opportunity to the project – and Negative Risk - a threat to the project, which is a unique approach.

  echnical debt in software development is a common problem that is overlooked by many development teams. This debt can be generated from a variety of reasons, including time pressure and complexity in software. Technical debt in simple terms is when a simple and less optimized solution is carried out in order to gain short term benefits, which leads to refactoring and reworking code later on, costing both time and money. The issue is present in both big, established companies and small startups, and is the reason why many of these small startups never get enough economic grip before debt catch up and they go bankrupt. This paper aims to address this problem by exploring how continuous practices including DevOps could help resolve this issue by adopting the right approaches into the software development cycle and workflow. So as to collect information about these topics, a systematic literature review has been conducted, covering both positive and negative impacts these practices can have on technical debt. The findings will present the current practices used to manage and reduce the accumulation of technical debt, if and how these approaches can be used to reduce already existing technical debt and which of these practices that have the biggest impact on technical debt. The paper concludes that there's potential for continuous practices including DevOps to possibly reduce technical debt if applied appropriately.

  Traditionally, women have been underrepresented in Computing studies. The discipline is male-dominated in spite of the efforts promoting the participation of women in the field, both in the student base and in the professional arena. Literature underlined that student attraction and professional retention are aspects to analyse in a sound way in order to build strong and grounded theories for this complex misbalance phenomenon. In this scenario, authors study the gender gap in computing education by collecting data such as female students enrolled in one of the mandatory courses and female members of faculty. In addition to this data, socio-economic factors such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and unemployment rate of the countries under study were considered. Results show that the gender gap in computing studies is not narrowing significantly despite the measures that were undertaken. In an attempt to explain the gender gap by considering macroeconomic variables, authors highlight the complexness of the phenomenon. Authors believe that there is not a single answer or explanation to this imbalance and a variety of aspects from values to culture and from economy to expectations need to be analysed in order to bring answers and possible solutions to this tangible problem.

  Recent developments in human–computer interaction technologies raised the attention towards gamification techniques, that can be defined as using game elements in a non-gaming context. Furthermore, advancement in machine learning (ML) methods and its potential to enhance other technologies, resulted in the inception of a new era where ML and gamification are combined. This new direction thrilled us to conduct a systematic literature review in order to investigate the current literature in the field, to explore the convergence of these two technologies, highlighting their influence on one another, and the reported benefits and challenges. The results of the study reflect the various usage of this confluence, mainly in, learning and educational activities, personalizing gamification to the users, behavioral change efforts, adapting the gamification context and optimizing the gamification tasks. Adding to that, data collection for machine learning by gamification technology and teaching machine learning with the help of gamification were identified. Finally, we point out their benefits and challenges towards streamlining future research endeavors.

  Despite the long tradition on the study of human values, the impact of this field in the software engineering domain is rarely studied. To these regards, this study focuses on applying human values to agile software development process, more specifically to scrum roles. Thus, the goal of the study is to explore possible associations between human values and scrum roles preferences among students. Questionnaires are designed by employing the Short Schwartz's Value Survey and are distributed among 57 students. The results of the quantitative analysis process consisting of descriptive statistics, linear regression models and Pearson correlation coefficients, revealed that values such as power and self-direction influence the preference for the product owner role, the value of hedonism influences the preference for scrum masters and self-direction is associated with team members' preference.

  Social applications foster the involvement of end users in Web content creation, as a result ofwhich a new source of vast amounts of data about users and their likes and dislikes has becomeavailable. Having access to users’ contributions to social sites and gaining insights into theconsumers’ needs is of the utmost importance for marketing decision making in general, and toadvertisement recommendation in particular. By analyzing this information, advertisement re-commendation systems can attain a better understanding of the users’ interests and preferences,thus allowing these solutions to provide more precise ad suggestions. However, in addition to thealready complex challenges that hamper the performance of recommender systems (i.e., datasparsity, cold-start, diversity, accuracy and scalability), new issues that should be consideredhave also emerged from the need to deal with heterogeneous data gathered from disparatesources. The technologies surrounding Linked Data and the Semantic Web have proved effectivefor knowledge management and data integration. In this work, an ontology-based advertisementrecommendation system that leverages the data produced by users in social networking sites isproposed, and this approach is substantiated by a shared ontology model with which to representboth users’ profiles and the content of advertisements. Both users and advertisement are re-presented by means of vectors generated using natural language processing techniques, whichcollect ontological entities from textual content. The ad recommender framework has been ex-tensively validated in a simulated environment, obtaining an aggregated f-measure of 79.2% anda Mean Average Precision at 3 (MAP@3) of 85.6%.

  The ability of detecting infections at an early stage in clinical environments is an important clinical problem. When an infection is not diagnosed on time, it may not only affect the health of the infected patient, but also spread and infect other people. In this paper, we propose the development of a clinical decision support system (CDSS) for diagnosing infections using clinical signals from patients. This system is designed to be able to cope with small amounts of data (a single record per day and patient), making it convenient for environments under strict constraints (such as low resources or bad connectivity). Additionally, we have incorporated data from external sources, in order to enrich the quality of the models. In particular, we have considered social data arising from web searches, retrieved from Google Trends, as well as weather data.

  Organizations are needed of flexible structures to achieve their aims. In the software arena, Self-organization is the one of the principles of the agile methodologies as defined in the agile manifesto. Autonomous agile teams are a way to conform self-organization. The main objective of this paper is to know about the how autonomous agile teams organize themselves and what are the benefits and the challenges faced by these teams. A systematic literature review was conducted to find answers to these questions. 23 relevant papers were identified as primary sources to define and study autonomous and self-organized agile team. From the review, it was found that there are many benefits and challenges of autonomous agile teams and the various strategies to overcome the challenges.

  Holacracy can be seen as a strategy for decentralized management and organizational governance in which authority and decision-making are delivered by means of autonomous and self-organizing groups or teams. Although the topic is not new, its application in software development has not a long history behind it. This study is meant to give an overview on holacracy for software development teams, its features, benefits gained, as well as its challenges. To do so, in this paper, authors present a multivocal literature review in which a panoply of sources including research and grey literature is reviewed. Our study shows that adapting holacracy towards self-organizing software development teams can result in increased product transparency, improved decision making, more efficient progress, and a higher sense of individual responsibility. However, there are reported challenges such as implementation difficulty and increase in employee outflows.

  Being able to detect an infection at an early stage is a clinical problem of the utmost importance. An infection not diagnosed on time might not only severely affect the infected patient's health, but also to spread and start a focus of contagion to other people. In this paper, we propose a clinical decision support system to automatically diagnose infections using physiological signals from the patients. The focus of the system is put on being able to deal with very small amounts of data (one aggregated record per patient and day), which eases the potential of the system in environments with low resources. Data has been acquired between April 2018 and January 2019 in two nursing homes in Spain, where nurses had also tested patients for infections. Machine learning models have then been created by aggregating measurements from days prior to the infection (lead) and after the infection started (lag) in order to generate features. The best model attained reports an AUROC of 0.722, using data from up to two days after the infection started. Interestingly, an AUROC of up to 0.692 is achieved when infection prognosis is considered; i.e., using only measurements prior to the manual recording of the infection to compose the dataset.

  Code smells are an indicator of poor design in software systems. Artificial intelligence techniques have been applied in several ways to improve soft-ware quality in code smells detection i.e. (detection rules or standards using a combination of object-oriented metrics and Bayesian inference graphs). Literature in the field has identified artificial intelligence techniques and compare different artificial intelligence algorithms, which are used in the detection of code smells. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is not a systematic literature review devoted to study in deep the interaction of these fields. In this paper, authors conduct a systematic mapping to get to know how artificial intelligence inter-acts with code smells. Results show the deep connection of Artificial Intelligence with code smells in a solid way, as well as, providing potential challenges and opportunities for future research.

  Sepsis is a life-threatening condition due to the reaction to an infection. With certain changes in circulatory system, sepsis may progress to septic shock if it is left untreated. Therefore, early prognosis of septic shock may facilitate implementing correct treatment and prevent more serious complications. In this study, we assess the feasibility of applying a computer-aided prognosis system for septic shock. The system is envisaged as a tool to predict septic shock at the time of sepsis onset using only vital signs which are collected routinely in intensive care units (ICUs). To this end, we evaluate the performances of computational methods that take the sequence of vital signs acquired until sepsis onset as input and report the possibility of progressing to a septic shock before any further clinical analysis is performed. Results show that an adaptation of multivariate dynamic time warping can reveal higher accuracy than other known time-series classification methods on a new dataset built from a public ICU database. We argue that the use of computational intelligence methods can promote computer-aided prognosis of septic shock in hospitalized environment to a certain degree.

  With the standardization of Information Technology (IT) governance through ISO/IEC 38500 in the last decade, a good number of organizations have implemented IT governance (ITG) frameworks. Although it is not a fully extended practice. Given the fact that the use of balanced score cards (BSC) on ITG is not an unknown practice, the application of BSC in the implementation of ISO/IEC 38500 has been given less importance, since it normally appears as just examples of good practices. This work not only explains why the BSC's applicability to align IT with business in ISO/IEC 38500 implementations is not included in the standard, but also justifies the importance of BSC to report to the board or senior executive team in a clear way, without the details of the particular implementation framework of the standard. Thus, a framework that allows implementing IT BSCs within the context of IT governance is proposed, cascading objectives included in the strategic map through the tactical and operational level and backwards on the construction of the KPIs to better monitor IT.

  DevOps is an approach to reduce software development times by integrating a set of tools in order to get a better and automated transition towards production. DevOps is highly connected to tools and to Cloud Computing. On the other hand, e-Learning tools are also evolving towards the cloud. In this scenario, the connection of this two research fields seems to be promising. However, to the best of authors' knowledge the interaction of both has not been studied in deep. To bridge this gap, in this paper, a multivocal literature review is presented. By means of this systematic approach, authors analyze scientific and professional literature on the topic. Results reveal a nascent but still modest interest in DevOps in e-Learning solutions. Authors believe that the increasing adoption of cloud e-Learning solutions and the increasing pressure to deploy new versions of software with boost the interest in this research field.

  Information security governance is an important aspects for all organizations. Given the crucial importance of IT systems and the increasing range of threats these systems are facing, there is an increasing interest on the topic. On the other hand, Big Data environments are also beginning to be more pervasive as IT is increasing its importance for organizations worldwide. In order to better know which aspects are the most important for the intersection of Big Data and information security governance, authors present in this paper a systematic mapping on this topic. Authors illustrate challenges and gaps concerning the topic and clarify these challenges by means of a classification of the environments they take place, the security risk spectrums they concern, and the security governance measures they take to mitigate them; by providing solutions as in a framework, model, software or tool, wherever possible. Results are expected to be useful for IT security professionals and information systems practitioners as a whole.

  The security of patient’s data is the most overbearing barrier to access when considering the adoption of Healthcare Information Systems (HIS) in the healthcare industry. Recently, several studies were conducted to address security risks, and a series of solutions were proposed to enable data and privacy protection. In this paper we conduct the systematic mapping review to know more about security aspects in HIS. Our study provides a comprehensive review of the literature on the evaluation and implementation of HIS security, detailing the challenges and recommendations for implementers and adopters alike. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the security perspective and some of the important concerns that need to be considered to successfully use information systems in healthcare.

  Nowadays, most organisations depend on information technologies (IT)/information systems (IS) to run their businesses achieve their goals. Knowing how to manage IT/IS is fundamental because it promotes a better use of resources and an increase in quality and productivity. The head of the IT/IS department is the chief information officer (CIO), who plays a central role, carrying out a diversified set of activities essential for the performance of the IS and, consequently, for the business success. This paper presents a Delphi survey, involving CIOs from large organisations, which were asked to identify the most important activities they perform. The findings reveal that the top activities are interacting with the top management, analyse business problems, identify opportunities, design IS solutions, IS planning, making strategic decisions, optimise business processes, evaluate IS performance and plan its optimisation, manage the IT team, and manage IS development and implementation.

  Data analysis and monitoring of road networks in terms of reliability and performance are valuable but hard to achieve, especially when the analytical information has to be available to decision makers on time. The gathering and analysis of the observable facts can be used to infer knowledge about traffic congestion over time and gain insights into the roads safety. However, the continuous monitoring of live traffic information produces a vast amount of data that makes it difficult for business intelligence (BI) tools to generate metrics and key performance indicators (KPI) in nearly real-time. In order to overcome these limitations, we propose the application of a big-data based and process-centric approach that integrates with operational traffic information systems to give insights into the road network's efficiency. This paper demonstrates how the adoption of an existent process-oriented DSS solution with big-data support can be leveraged to monitor and analyse live traffic data on an acceptable response time basis.

  Time and quality pressures are affecting software process in all its stages. One of the proposed solutions to these pressures is DevOps. DevOps is aimed to increase the frequency, quality and speed of deploying software from development into production by means of new organizational structures and processes with a high degree of automation. Several authors underlined the fact, that beyond the tool chain, DevOps is a culture shift. However, to date the characterization of DevOps culture remains unclear. In this paper, authors tackle this problem by means of a Systematic Literature Review. Results provide a deeper understanding of the phenomena from human factor´s perspective.

  This chapter presents a data-centric software architecture that provides timely data access to key performance indicators (KPIs) about process performance. This architecture comes in the form of an analytical framework that lies on big-data and cloud-computing technologies aimed to cope with the demands of the crowd-sourced data analysis in terms of latency and data volume. This framework is proposed to be applied to the Smart Cities and the Internet of Things (IoT) arenas to monitor, analyse and improve the business processes and smart services of the city. Once the framework is presented from the technical standpoint, a case study is rolled out to leverage this process-centric framework and apply its fundamentals to the smart cities realm with the aim of analysing live smart data and improve the efficiency of smart cities. More specifically, this case study is focussed on the improvement of the service delivery process of the Open311 smart services deployed in the city of Chicago. The outcomes of the test show the ability of the systems to generate metrics in nearly real-time for high volumes of data.

  Big Data is a term that describes a large volume of structured and unstructured data. Big Data must be acquired, stored, analyzed and visualized by means of non-conventional methods requiring normally a big set of resources, which includes energy consumption. Although Big Data is not new as a phenomenom, its explosion of the interest in literature is recent and its study in new scenarios presents several gaps. On the other hand, Green IT is also a growing field in computing, given the increasing role of IT in energy consumption in the world. Green IT is aimed to reduce IT-related energy consumption and overall IT environmental impact. In order to investigate the reported initiatives regarding the Big Data and Green IT with a focus of energy consumption, the authors conducted a systematic mapping on the topic. The search strategy which was used resulted in 28 relevant studies which were relevant to the topic. We found that a majority of the studies performed present algorithms designed to reduce the energy consumption in data centres. The rest of the studies present benchmarks and energy measurements, reviews, proposals of hardware-based solutions, as well as studies which give an overview of one or more aspects on Big Data.

  Serverless computing is a cloud computing execution model which enables developers to focus more on business logic rather than on infrastructure or maintenance of servers. This new paradigm has become a source of attraction for developers and organizations alike as it does not only reduce but simply eliminates the overhead of scaling, provisioning and infrastructure altogether. Given the novelty of the phenomenon, this paper is meant to study the phenomenon in a systematic way in order to define the core components of serverless computing, its benefits, challenges and what lies in the foreseen future of the serverless concept. To this end, authors conducted a multivocal literature review in order to better comprehend the state-of-art on serverless computing. The study shows that serverless computing is a solution that allows users to create functions that intercept and operate on data flows in a scalable manner without the need to manage a server, although presents several challenges.

  In today’s software development industry, software testing allows one to ensure the quality but it cannot be done exhaustively and it requires selective and careful planning. That means a test process which is not only time-consuming but also useful and crucial because today, more than ever software is becoming part of our personal and professional life. Software testing is gradually gaining relevance among software practitioners and researchers. Due to that, several organizations, which offer personal certifications, have emerged and international standards have been developed. However, there is still a need to support software practitioners in gaining awareness and understanding about them. The aim of this study is to perform a mapping from all major activities of ISTQB Foundation Level Certification (CTFL), to corresponding processes of ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-2. Thus an analysis has performed to identify the differences and overlap between the two approaches, which allows a better understanding of them. The findings show that the test process of ISTQB CTFL is largely covered by the ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-2. In addition, a tailored conformance was also outlined to ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-2.

  Smart energy settings are changing the way undergraduate and graduate programs are conceived in both civil and computer engineering fields. As a result of this, many universities around the world are beginning to offer courses on the topic. This paper presents the initiative that is taking place in the IT department of the Østfold University College in the scope of the Computer Engineering bachelor studies. The initiative consists in a set of labs devoted to smart homes, smart buildings and smart cities designed to be bridge the gap between theory and practice on the field from the perspective of information technology education and more specifically from the prism of computer engineering. Results show a remarkable success of the initiative that is improving employability of students integrating them in companies in the area and serving also the overall objective of the institution, aligned with energy efficiency in education, research and practice.

  Students of online graduate or undergraduate programs are also needed of master or bachelor thesis to get their diplomas. In most of the cases, directors and students must face these processes online. However, despite the overall satisfaction with the online learning process, for these works, some students express negative attitudes, such as mistrust and insecurity. Obviously, these negative attitudes are not conducive to learning and student performance. As a result, supervisors are required to minimize the effects of these negative attitudes. Therefore, the monitoring activity is not limited to academic leadership, but also an activity similar to coaching. In this paper, authors investigate what lays behind bachelor and master thesis supervision in online settings. Specifically, authors sought to determine whether academic direction occur while coaching processes. In order to do so, authors applied an open questionnaire to a sample of supervisors. This questionnaire includes questions on four aspects: students' negative attitudes, strategies applied to reduce inappropriate attitudes and to promote good ones, similarities to coaching processes and finally, consideration on the difficulties of online supervision compared with the traditional one in terms of general difficulties, more negative student's attitudes and more effort during supervision. Results show that the majority of the supervisors interviewed had to apply some managerial complements to their duties. These strategies can be considered true coaching processes, although there is not substantial difference between conventional online supervision and traditional supervision of bachelor and master thesis.

  Business improvement is a hot topic in all business areas. In the last years, the unstoppable emergence of the use of social media by organizations and individuals alike has opened this tool for knowledge networking purposes. In this paper, the authors shed some light on how the traditional knowledge management approach has changed to a networked approach of knowledge sharing. Authors also explain how social media is used as a business tool, in particular in Information Technology industry environments. ECQA Certified Social Media Networker Skills (SIMS) is a new qualification that is available from 2013 and is meant to train and certify experts in the use of social media as a business improvement enabler and as a means for knowledge networking in organizational settings.

  The technological support for learning and teaching processes is constantly changing. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) applied to education, cause changes that affect the way in which people learn. This application introduces new software systems and solutions to carry out teaching and learning activities. Connected to ICT application, the emergence of Web 2.0 and its use in learning contexts enables an online implementation of the student-centred learning paradigm. In addition, 2.0 trends provide “new” ways to exchange, making easier for informal learning to become patent. Given this context, open and user-centered learning environments are needed to integrate such kinds of tools and trends and are commonly described as Personal Learning Environments. Such environments coexist with the institutional learning management systems and they should interact and exchange information between them. This interaction would allow the assessment of what happens in the personal environment from the institutional side. This article describes a solution to make the interoperability possible between these systems. It is based on a set of interoperability scenarios and some components and communication channels. In order to test the solution it is implemented as a proof of concept and the scenarios are validated through several pilot experiences. In this article one of such scenarios and its evaluation experiment is described to conclude that functionalities from the institutional environments and the personal ones can be combined and it is possible to assess what happens in the activities based on them.
