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.

The polarization of ideas is a natural phenomenon of human behavior. When productive, it can generate scenarios for reflection on arguments, opinions, and interactions, but when polarization is extreme, it generates social isolation, manipulation, perception of injustice, unproductive debates, certainties of absolute truths, fanaticism, feelings of hatred, and even wars. Deconstructing the ecosystem of extreme polarization directly benefits social stability. Virtual social environments are excellent scenarios for fostering debates, negotiations, and the exposition of ideas. The objective of this study is to use the same virtual social ecosystem with its empowerment mechanisms and influence attributes to support the creation of tools, functionalities, and simulations to develop healthier systems. The knowledge generated supported the development of a design and cognitive ethical affordances practiced in metacognitive design, optimized navigation, and metacognitive simulations. The cognitive, ethical affordances incorporated into the Productive Reinforcement Spiral method model were part of a metacognitive simulation of collaborative negotiation with a productive reinforcement spiral mechanism, whose description and evaluation of the design are the main objectives of this paper.

In [E. G. Birgin, R. Castillo and J. M. Martínez, Computational Optimization and Applications 31, pp. 31–55, 2005], a general class of safeguarded augmented Lagrangian methods is introduced which includes a large number of different methods from the literature. Besides a numerical comparison including 65 different methods, primal-dual global convergence to a KKT point is shown under a (strong) regularity condition. In the present work, we generalize this framework by considering also classical/non-safeguarded Lagrange multipliers updates. This is done in order to give a rigorous theoretical study to the so-called hyperbolic augmented Lagrangian method, which is not safeguarded, while also including the classical Powell-Hestenes-Rockafellar augmented Lagrangian method. Our results are based on a weak regularity condition which does not require boundedness of the set of Lagrange multipliers. Somewhat surprisingly, in non-safeguarded methods, we show that the penalty parameter may be kept constant at every iteration even in the lack of convexity assumptions. Numerical experiments with all the problems in the Netlib and CUTEst collections are reported to compare and discuss the different approaches.
In recent years, digital technologies have been used to support discussions about the city and also to involve citizens in participatory public processes. However, despite the widespread use of social media platforms,...

In this paper, we explore a perspective on well-being in the context of digital nomads, reporting the first findings of an empirical study investigating the extent to which the nomadic lifestyle enables a healthy life and the enjoyment of well-being. Following the Gioia methodology, we collected and analyzed textual data from posts in a specific online Reddit social network discussion community to do this. Preliminary findings indicate that Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) acts as a trigger that stimulates the adoption of digital nomad lifestyles.

The Massification of remote work, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, has been causing significant changes in productive and working arrangements, both for individuals, organizations, and society. At the level of personal life philosophy, for example, this transformation can be evidenced in the dissemination of digital nomadism values such as work/leisure balance among corporate workers. On the other hand, at the level of gig/crowd work platforms, the emergence of tensions may indicate the exhaustion of sociotechnical design models adopted by big techs. We show how evidence collected from digital nomads in empirical ethnography studies can inform HCI/CSCWD researchers of design-oriented strands to explore emerging opportunities in new creative digital crypto-economic ecosystems. Finally, we present a proposed research agenda to explore DNs’ activities in the crypto-economic ecosystem.

This paper explores the challenges and strategies used to design, build and evaluate a collective intelligence (CI) model to support discussions about cities. Through an autoethnography of ideas and discussion practices in both online and offline contexts, this work explores the tensions between the chosen methodological approaches, including design science research (DSR) and participatory action research (PAR). Moreover, we also examine the challenges and pitfalls observed during the practical conduction of this research when involving participants in the process of empirically evaluating the proposed model. Finally, aspects related to the autoethnographic process itself as a reflective method are discussed alongside the consequences of desiring and seeking participation in the research process.

In this paper, we report on new findings about the results of an empirical study which aims to investigate how the COVID-19 pandemic has been shaping nomadic work practices and also challenging the lifestyles of digital nomads (DN). To do this, we collected textual data from posts in a Reddit community. We argue that, in order to understand how to design technical solutions for the so-called ‘new normal’ working conditions, one way to approach this is to understand how digital nomads are being impacted in their work practices and routines, and also how they are seeing the future of their technology-mediated work-life space. Finally, we show how evidence collected from DNs about their experiences and difficulties perceived during the pandemic period can inform CSCW researchers worldwide about future design-oriented strands.

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.
