Cyber-physical-human systems find new applications in various areas of human lives. The paper proposes usage of a system of this class to achieve a synergy between the connected car and e-tourism ideas. The developed approach is presented with more attention paid to the situational awareness and behavioral awareness. The approach is illustrated via a case study aimed to organization of infomobile...
How can students be included as critical stakeholders in the systems and services provided by a university? To address the whole student experience, we engaged students and employees at a large Swedish university in a vision seminar process to elicit how these groups envisioned an ideal future university, and the necessary changes to technology and organisational structures required to achieve this...
The security community has established a number of knowledge sources, including security catalogues and controls, that capture security expertise and can support elicitation of security requirements. Providing additional guidance on how and when to leverage the security information available in the existing knowledge sources in the context of the given system can support security requirements engineering...
Human activity is almost always intentional. By understanding why user-generated events are happening and what purposes they serve, a system can offer a significantly improved and more engaging experience. Analyzing user actions such as clicks can reveal patterns and behaviors. However, understanding the goals behind these actions is a more challenging issue since goals cannot be easily captured....
To keep up with the competition, organizations must be capable to dynamically change business process components at runtime. This problem has been relevant for many years; however, there is no proposed solution, which ensures the dynamicity. This paper presents analysis of related work on dynamic business processes, i.e. the analysis of definitions of dynamic business process and different views on...
Societal changes are forcing us to reconsider how healthcare is delivered. Connected Health, which involves the application of ICT to support healthcare delivery, is an emerging trend in this space. A robust evaluation technique that considers the impact of Connected Health on society is a vital enabler for this growing area. For this reason, we developed an exploratory framework for the evaluation...
Recording the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time as detected using electrical sensors is referred to as Electrocardiography (ECG). ECG is recorded as a collection of signal waves that has repetitive patterns. These patterns are usually used in the complex diagnosis process through which ECG may indicate certain problems related to the heart or other parts of the body. Despite the...
This session will address how e-portfolios are being used in a variety of innovative ways in forth formal and informal learning contexts. The development and deployment of e-portfolios in a variety of learning environments will be discussed along with tools and technologies used to create them. The session will include a discussion of how e-portfolios can provide a potential bridge between formal...
The introduction of m-learning systems often do not show the expected benefits. The main problem is the low acceptance of this new kind of teaching and learning process by some interest groups. In context of the PhD thesis the problem of "Technology Adoption" from the perspective of students and lecturers needs to get deeply analysed. Academic papers that explicitly analyse the intention...
Considering the global competitiveness the organizations ability to effectively use information technologies and bet on innovation and creativity are today commonly recognized as important. In this context, research on creativity in information systems has assumed special importance. This paper illustrates the use of Action-Research Method " in research in Information Systems and Creativity,...
E-learning systems have overcome the temporal &spatial constraints of traditional learning environments in extending educational opportunities to one and all. With a growth rate of 35.6%, the e-learning market is expanding in a phenomenal pace, still many e-learning systems fail. One of the important factors that determine the success of information systems is the ability of the system to...
Systems development in social care has tended to focus on collecting management information and supporting administrative processes, creating few benefits for practitioners and a consequent reluctance for them to effectively engage with information technologies. This paper considers the findings from a recent case study which examined the role of information and information services in social care...
This paper describes an approach and accompanying process for the development and use of architecture principles. In doing so, it builds on earlier work in which we defined the concept of architecture principle itself. The approach presented in this paper is based on a combination of experiences gathered from practice, as well as a synthesis of past work and other sources from both academia and industry,...
In this position paper, we outline a project being developed to improve the physical environment of a hospital emergency department to reduce staff stress levels and increase restorative opportunities. We outline a potential pragmatic participatory method to deal with staff members' limited time, which uses social software implemented on situated interactive displays.
Within context-aware mobile applications, location information usually plays a major role for information selection and adaptivity. In this paper, we explore the geospatial dimension between simple position-aware and fully context-aware information systems by examining in-depth the features of spatial context beyond mere position. We describe how these features can be used to create spatial queries...
