Abstract
Previous workshops have discussed a proposal to augment Ada with fine-grained parallelism, based on the notion of tasklets, a lightweight parallel entity. Recent works have shown the convergence of this model with the OpenMP tasking model and have proposed their coexistence. In this paper we provide a status of the existent works, and describe how these models could be combined.

Abstract
Decision making is an important role performed by managers. This chapter will analyze the importance of information systems (IS) on the decision-making process at rural organizations in Portugal's Algarve region. Managers' perceptions were analyzed and compared with the decision-making process model proposed in this chapter, which was based on the models of Simon (1977) and Mintzberg, Raisinghani, and Theorêt (1976). This chapter will discuss the capacity of rural tourism organizations to solve problems, as well as review the time needed to solve problems through the use of IS. This chapter will conclude that IS in the organizational decision-making process is positively related to the identification of the decision-making problem and time needed to solve the problems. This investigation will allow other sectors the opportunity to discuss decision process models based on technology, information capability, and organizational competitiveness.

Abstract
Smart governance is one of the characteristics of smart cities, having its roots in e-government, in the principles of good governance, and in the assumptions of citizens’ participation and involvement in public decision-making. This chapter aims to answer the question: “What smart governance practices are being implemented in smart cities” through an extensive literature review in the areas of e-government, good governance, smart cities and smart governance, and content analysis of the websites of seven smart cities: Amsterdam, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Lisbon, Manchester, Singapore, and Stockholm. The objective was to identify the presence of factors related with e-participation; e-services; and public administration functioning on the cities’ websites. The chapter ends with directions for future research and the conclusion that all the smart cities analyzed presented some factors related with smart governance, but with different levels of development and application. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

Abstract
Este estudio busca discutir y analizar, cualitativamente, la articulación de los fanfics como recurso didáctico para la enseñanza de lengua y literatura hispánica y sus implicaciones en el alfabetismo digital de los lectores. Se utiliza como marco teórico: Lemos (2009 e 2015), Alves (2015), Buzato (2004 and 2013), Coscarelli (2009), Vargas (2005), Neves (2014), Azzari & Custodio (2013), Almeida (2013), Almeida & Pais (2012), Cope & Kalantzis (2006) y Schlemmer (2010, 2013 y 2014). Se concluye que la enseñanza de lengua y literatura, en soporte digital, contribuye al alfabetismo digital; la escuela necesita apropiarse de nuevas actitudes para acompañar los cambios culturales en las prácticas sociales pertinentes a la inserción e inmersión de nuevas tecnologías, además de promover momentos de interacción, reflexión y discusión sobre literatura, lectura y autoría. Este género (fanfics), cuando se utiliza de forma dinámica, funciona como un objeto fronterizo entre dos mundos o mentalidades y además del más lleva al interior del aula la vivencia y práctica social de los jóvenes.

Abstract
O presente artigo é um recorte do projeto de pesquisa doutoral intitulado: “Letramento e emancipação digital cidadã: cartografias e rastros na constituição de Espaços de Convivência Híbridos e Multimodais”. Neste contexto, pretende-se discutir o letramento digital de estudantes da Educação Básica — na perspectiva emancipatória, digital e cidadã— no desenvolvimento de práticas educativas gamificadas, a partir da análise do jogo SM Real Life. A fundamentação teórica baseia-se em autores como: Latour (2012), Freire (2002), Schlemmer (2010, 2011), Schwartz (2007), Streck e Adams (2014) e Gee (2003). A pesquisa é qualitativa, exploratória e descritiva e fez uso do método cartográfico de pesquisa-intervenção (SCHLEMMER, 2015, 2018). Como instrumento de produção de dados, utilizou-se a observação participante, com registros, no diário de percurso, das pistas e dos rastros deixados pelos estudantes nos diferentes espaços de aprendizagem nos quais transitam. Conclui-se, a partir da análise dos rastros deixados pelos estudantes, que TD e práticas educativas gamificadas podem oportunizar inclusão, formação, empoderamento e emancipação digital e cidadã dos sujeitos, uma vez que eles utilizam e se apropriam efetivamente do poder transformador e emancipatório das TD; além disso, tais práticas oportunizam a criação de novas situações e espaços de aprendizagem.
