The rise of artificial intelligence agents and information technology platforms governed by data-driven algorithms has had profound impacts on the way knowledge work is managed and carried out. Concerning the novel uses of digital work platforms, the arising tensions might suggest that the socio-technical design frameworks adopted by major tech firms are becoming less viable and in some cases ineffective. We propose a conceptual architecture to support a socio-technical framework for exploring Personal Knowledge Ecologies in the context of the digital knowledge economy. This framework aims to increase the degree of individual freedom for the interoperation of these knowledge information infrastructures.
In Software engineering, context can be understood as the overall set of information used to characterize the situation of an entity. A software system is context-aware if it uses the context to provide relevant infor...

Recent Artificial Intelligence advancements raise concerns about the future of work, particularly technological unemployment. Studies show automation's impact, but tools like ChatGPT disrupt even traditionally secure professions like programming. In this study, we reevaluate AI's effects using a method to assess the impact of Generative AI technologies on occupations to understand the potential effects of Generative AI systems on software development work. Valuable insights were obtained by gathering the view of a group of workers, primarily composed of developers who are starting their careers, regarding the impact of these technologies on the tasks they perform to provide a comprehensive understanding of the implications of Generative AI for software development. Results show that all programming tasks performed by these workers would experience some impact by Generative AI -65% of the tasks being considerably impacted, 12% moderately impacted, and 18% minimally impacted. This analysis highlights the substantial influence of Generative AI technologies on software development, mainly affecting those in the early stages of their career. The results of this work contribute to the academic community with valuable information. Policymakers can also use this information, as this work provides a comprehensive view of the impacts of Generative AI on software developers, considering their direct impact on job tasks.

The gaming industry is growing over time, having a considerable amount of fans. Creating a game is a complex process that can take a long time until its release, causing a lot of anxiety for the game fan population. Some of these fans can not wait for the release of a specific game, creating their own versions of games. This process of creating games in an ad-hoc manner from others that already exist is called mod and can be compared to the concept of Software Reuse, where software is created from others. This work aims to increase the systematic of creating mods based on reuse concepts such as Product Line. In this paper, an initial prototype of a game created by applying Product Line concepts to generate new mods in a more systematic way is described.

Since 2016, the demand for remote work has grown by nearly 400%, with 3.5 million remote job vacancies posted, and it is expected to continue to grow in the coming years. Therefore, one of the challenges in advancing remote work is fostering innovation, particularly serendipity, in a remote workforce. This fortunate discovery can pave the way for technological advancements, new business strategies, or even scientific revolutions. However, creating moments of serendipity in a remote work environment is a significant challenge. Thus, finding the right approach to stimulate serendipity in a remote work environment is an ever-evolving challenge. Therefore, this work aims to understand the possibilities of serendipity that collaboration tools used in remote work can support. The methodology used for this work was a Rapid Review. First, we explore the factors related to serendipity in physical offices, for which we identified twenty-three elements. Next, we compiled 38 strategies for remote work that were found to promote serendipity, which we organized in a framework for better observation. Our findings can serve as a starting point for designing new tools and identifying existing software and tools that already play a supportive role.

The paradigm of the Internet of Everything (IoE) adds value to Internet of Things (IoT) in connections among people, processes, data, and things. However, knowledge creation process in IoE context still requires concerns to what extent connected sensors and actuators collaborates in value created and outcomes of IoE applications. This study focuses on the requirement and design approach for identification of critical knowledge within IoE domain though a knowledge ranking approach. Existing solutions for semantic definitions and taxonomies in IoE are reviewed for this purpose. In addition, this work proposes the use of a knowledge-based taxonomy as the main driver for ranking knowledge in smart sensors as IoE enablers with a qualitative approach of its dimensions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that comprehensively integrate a taxonomy concerning ranking knowledge in IoE applications.

Future-related studies are key in identifying and predicting emerging technologies, fostering innovation, and driving scientific progress. Games have increasingly served as a tool to engage researchers in Technology Forecasting and Foresight activities, presenting a gamified approach to gather, analyze, and synthesize information to allow future foresight. In this work, we use the Rapid Review methodology to analyze the scientific literature and explore the use of games as tools for Technology Forecasting and Foresight. We analyzed and categorized the articles by theme and type of study, identifying the areas where games can be most beneficial to guide professionals performing Technology Forecasting and Foresight, helping companies and governments better understand the future. The empirical evidence found provides a comprehensive understanding of how games can enhance foresight activities and contribute to the success of Technology Forecasting and Foresight initiatives. Our analysis also provides insights for future research about gamified strategies in Foresight.
