Abstract
This paper presents the Adaptive Decision Support for Electricity Markets Negotiations (AiD-EM) system. AiD-EM is a multi-agent system that provides decision support to market players by incorporating multiple sub-(agent-based) systems, directed to the decision support of specific problems. These subsystems make use of different artificial intelligence methodologies, such as machine learning and evolutionary computation, to enable players adaptation in the planning phase and in actual negotiations in auction-based markets and bilateral negotiations.

Abstract
Modern industry is shifting towards flexible, advanced robotic systems to meet the increasing demand for custom-made products with low manufacturing costs and to promote a collaborative environment for humans and robots. As a consequence of this industrial revolution, some traditional, mechanical- and hardware-based safety mechanisms are discarded in favour of a safer, more dependable robot software. This work presents a case study of assessing and improving the internal quality of a European research mobile manipulator, operating in a real industrial environment, using modern static analysis tools geared for robotic software. Following an iterative approach, we managed to fix about 90% of the reported issues, resulting in code that is easier to use and maintain.

Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to identify and analyze the main organizational and technological factors that play a relevant role in a transformational strategic change inherent in changing the business model supported on the internet. An analysis was made of the different business models, as well as their connection to strategic management and how this is accomplished in the organizational and technological plan. This empirical study, based on the qualitative methodology, focuses on a single case study on a Portuguese company that recently changed its business model. The findings allowed the authors to assess the advantages and challenges posed by the transformation of an initial business based on a website that performs a comparison of prices for an integrated model based on a marketplace, in which customers can make their purchases and access all products, from different stores, in one place.

Abstract
In this work, a generalized mathematical formulation is proposed to model a generic public transport system, and a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) optimization is used to determine the optimal design of the system in terms of charging infrastructure deployment (with on-route and off-route charging), battery sizing, and charging schedules for each route in the network. Three case studies are used to validate the proposed model while demonstrating its universal applicability. First, the design of three individual routes with different characteristics is demonstrated. Then, a large-scale generic transport system with 180 routes, consisting of urban and suburban routes with varying characteristics is considered and the optimal design is obtained. Afterwards, the use of the proposed model for a long-term transport system planning problem is demonstrated by adapting the system to a 2030 scenario based on forecasted technological advancements. The proposed formulation is shown to be highly versatile in modeling a wide variety of components in an electric bus (EB) transport system and in achieving an optimal design with minimal TOC.

Abstract
Background The InBIO Barcoding Initiative (IBI) Diptera 01 dataset contains records of 203 specimens of Diptera. All specimens have been morphologically identified to species level, and belong to 154 species in total. The species represented in this dataset correspond to about 10% of continental Portugal dipteran species diversity. All specimens were collected north of the Tagus river in Portugal. Sampling took place from 2014 to 2018, and specimens are deposited in the IBI collection at CIBIO, Research Center in Biodiversity and Genetic Resources. New information This dataset contributes to the knowledge on the DNA barcodes and distribution of 154 species of Diptera from Portugal and is the first of the planned IBI database public releases, which will make available genetic and distribution data for a series of taxa. All specimens have their DNA barcodes made publicly available in the Barcode of Life Data System (BOLD) online database and the distribution dataset can be freely accessed through the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF).
