Abstract
Software developers usually work as a team and in order to improve the team organization and performance several companies use agile methodologies. The efficiency of this methodologies can be improved by the use of project management tools. Several software developers are difficult to motivate on the usage of these tools, as they often claim being disruptive to their workflow. This paper presents the use of gamification to incite software developers to use this kind of tools with the necessary regularity. The main focus of this work is on the tasks completion and the regular use of the project management tool, while insuring the respect of the values proposed by the agile manifesto to software development. The gamification process is described in detail, followed by an application the project management software SCRAIM.

Abstract
A recurrent problem in the industrial sector is the quality control and surface inspection of reflecting pieces with non-planar surfaces. This is an extended and non-solved problem because it is related not only to the material itself but also to the coating. This problem appears in a wide spectrum of industrial sectors such as automation, aeronautics or orthopaedics. In recent years, a new imaging technology called deflectometry has been introduced in the field of surface inspection for industrial applications. This technology features a high resolution camera and a dedicated illumination system based on displaying fringe patterns in a monitor-allowing the detection of irregularities in surfaces. However, the introduction of this technology into automated quality control systems remains a challenging task, due to the wide range of defects and shapes that can appear. It becomes thus necessary to characterize different types of errors and their associated detection setups. In this paper we propose a novel methodology to define and analyse the best setup for each pattern. We also explore an efficient technique to maximize the number of different pieces inspected without modifying the setup of the acquisition system. Experimental results show that the presented methodology defines an inspection method that can be installed in an automatic quality control device for non-planar surfaces analysis of manufactured products.

Abstract
The academy can and should have a major role in the promotion of software accessibility. To try to clarify a number of empirical arguments and certainties regarding the usage of accessible, but not assistive, software, the answers to a survey given to 15 blind or low vision people are depicted. To demonstrate how under addressed this topic is by the academy an experiment was made, and its results are portrayed. The novel contribution that this paper offers is the relation between relevant accessibility documentation to its appropriate type of user interface, which is intended to encourage the introduction of the topic of software accessibility implementation. Also, a proposal for a first slide, regarding accessibility implementation in software meant to be shown to software engineering students, who should produce accessible software in their future, is presented. As a conclusion, some insights are given and new possible research avenues are depicted.

Abstract
This study translates how the potential exists for ICT and Web 2.0 to promote and improve the quality and efficiency of the supply of health services. The segmented and personalized access to individual clinical records is considered in the context of basic support information which simultaneously facilitates an initial screening by a health professional, to all those who fit in a universe of clients and patients of Private Healthcare Organizations - PHO. The context is of excellent customized health care which builds trusting relationships with the target market. The project does however recognize barriers to this change namely by making the health system more transparent clinicians who hitherto have gone mainly unquestioned and unnoticed will subsequently possibly be subject to more scrutiny and possible judicial action in case of mal practice. Nonetheless, with this work we aim to present an initial position relative to the need for the existence of information systems which support the process of creation of customer loyalty in private organizations delivering health care services.
