As Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues transforming workplaces globally, particularly within the Information Technology (IT) industry, understanding its impact on IT professionals and computing curricula is crucial. This research builds on joint work from two countries, addressing concerns about AI's increasing influence in IT sector workplaces and its implications for tertiary education. The study focuses on AI technologies such as generative AI (GenAI) and large language models (LLMs). It examines how they are perceived and adopted and their effects on workplace dynamics, task allocation, and human-system interaction. IT professionals, noted as early adopters of AI, offer valuable insights into the interplay between AI and work engagement, highlighting the significant competencies required for digital workplaces. This study employs a dual-method approach, combining a systematic and multi-vocal literature review and qualitative research methods. These included a thematic analysis of a set of 47 interviews conducted between March and May of 2024 with IT professionals in two countries (New Zealand and Sweden). The research aimed to understand the implications for computing students, education curricula, and the assessment of emerging professional competencies. The literature review found insufficient evidence addressing comprehensive AI practice methodologies, highlighting the need to both develop and regulate professional competencies for effective AI integration. Key interview findings revealed diverse levels of GenAI adoption, ranging from individual experimentation to institutional integration. Participants generally expressed positive attitudes toward the technology and were actively pursuing self-learning despite some concerns. The themes emerging from the interviews included AI's role in augmenting human tasks, privacy and security concerns, productivity enhancements, legal and ethical challenges, and the evolving need for new competencies in the workplace.

An important line of research within the field of fuzzy DLs is the computation of an equivalent crisp representation of a fuzzy ontology. In this short paper, we discuss the relation between tractable fuzzy DLs and tractable crisp representations. This relation heavily depends on the family of fuzzy operators considered.

Due to the convenience of pervasive information environment, many people use various computing devices to perform plenty kinds of tasks. In the field of education, there are various applications to facilitate learner, especially for e-learning. However, some computing devices suffer from the limited resources and can not accept rich information content. Therefore, the information content has to be tailored into different kinds of presentation depending on the types of computing devices. Context sensitivity is an application software system's ability to sense and analyze context from various sources. In this paper, we aim to customize static documents using context-sensitive middleware (CSM) to sense the computing device, and then using the agent-based parser to provide suitable content representation dynamically.

Fuzzy ontologies allow the representation of imprecise structured knowledge, typical in many real-world application domains. A key factor in the practical success of fuzzy ontologies is the availability of highly optimized reasoners. This short paper discusses a novel optimization technique: a reduction of the size of the optimization problems obtained during the inference by the fuzzy ontology reasoner fuzzyDL.

To reduce speech recognition error rate we can use better statistical language models. These models can be improved by grouping words into word equivalence classes. Clustering algorithms can be used to automatically do this word grouping. We present an incremental clustering algorithm and two iterative clustering algorithms. Also, we compare them with previous algorithms. The experimental results show that the two iterative algorithms perform as well as previous ones. It should be pointed out that one of them, that uses the leaving one out technique, has the ability to automatically determine the optimum number of classes. These iterative algorithms are used by the incremental one. On the other hand, the proposed incremental algorithm achieves the best results of the compared algorithms, its behavior is the most regular with the variation of the number of classes and can automatically determine the optimum number of classes.

To overcome the inability of Description Logics (DLs) to represent vague or imprecise information, several fuzzy extensions have been proposed in the literature. In this context, an important family of reasoning algorithms for fuzzy DLs is based on a combination of tableau algorithms and Operational Research (OR) problems, specifically using Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP). In this paper, we present a MILP-based tableau procedure that allows to reason within fuzzy ALCB, i.e., ALC with individual value restrictions. Interestingly, unlike classical tableau procedures, our tableau algorithm is deterministic, in the sense that it defers the inherent non-determinism in ALCB to a MILP solver.

General Concept Inclusion (GCIs) absorption algorithms have shown to play an important role in classical Description Logics (DLs) reasoners, as they allow to transform GCIs into simpler forms to which apply specialised inference rules, resulting in an important performance gain. In this work, we develop a first absorption algorithm for fuzzy DLs, and evaluate it over some ontologies.

Fuzzy Description Logics (DLs) are a formalism for the representation of structured knowledge affected by imprecision or vagueness. In the setting of fuzzy DLs, restricting to a finite set of degrees of truth has proved to be useful. In this paper, we propose finite fuzzy DLs as a generalization of existing approaches. We assume a finite totally ordered set of linguistic terms or labels, which is very useful in practice since expert knowledge is usually expressed using linguistic terms. Then, we consider any smooth t-norm defined over this set of degrees of truth. In particular, we focus on the finite fuzzy DL ALCH, studying some logical properties, and showing the decidability of the logic by presenting a reasoning preserving reduction to the non-fuzzy case.
