From information systems and technologies to a technological proposal for an agri-food industry information system: The sousacamp group [Das tecnologias e sistemas de informação à proposta tecnológica de um sistema de informação para a agroindústria: O grupo sousacamp]

RISTI - Revista Iberica de Sistemas e Tecnologias de Informacao

Abstract
The agri-food industry has been growing at a considerable pace over the recent years. An example of this growth is the mushroom production sector, whose specificities associated with the production process enforce a very controlled management of all the resources applied to that activity. Considering that the existing literature does not present a transverse solution to the referred activity sector, we have endured in an effort to present a technological proposal for an information system directed to the mushroom production sector. The presented proposal, composed by 13 interconnected functional blocks, is the result of a detailed analysis to the technical and functional requirements of Sousacamp Group - a leading organization from the mushroom production sector - merged with the arguments and perspectives presented by technology adoption theories.

Abstract
This paper presents the evolution of the process for management of surgery waiting lists in the Portuguese public hospital network. We use the perspective of the software development and deployment by UTAD, as a partner of the Ministry of Health, to create an information system to manage list recovery programs. We describe the early status and work, when data harvesting was the core challenge, up to the current automated situation. This paper bridges the PERLE, PPMA, PECLEC and SIGIC programmes, and concludes with lessons learned and suggestions for evolution of the process.

Santos, F; Almeida, A; Martins, C; Oliveira, P; Gonçalves, R;

Publication
Proceedings of the Ninth International C* Conference on Computer Science & Software Engineering, C3S2E '16, Porto, Portugal, July 20-22, 2016

Abstract
This paper describes a proposal to develop a Tourism Recommendation System based in users enhanced profiles (composed by basic user information, relations between user and a set of stereotypes and user functionality levels). The main focus of this work is to evaluate if user's physical and psychological functionality levels considered in user's profiles creation, will produce significant changes in the recommendation results. This work aims also to contribute with a different way to classify points-of-interest (POI) considering their capacity to receive tourists with certain levels of physical and psychological issues that will be described in this paper sections. © 2016 ACM.

Publication
ICSOFT-EA: PROCEEDINGS OF THE 11TH INTERNATIONAL JOINT CONFERENCE ON SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGIES - VOL. 1

Abstract
Digital accessibility is recognized as a fundamental tool for an egalitarian society. Nevertheless, software accessibility is an under addressed topic in the discipline of software engineering and the academy in general. As a result, its development and implementation is compromised. This problem is depicted here with the help of some experiments that shows the poor attention which is dedicated to this topic. Some hypotheses that try to explain this problem are formulated, and some possible solutions are debated. As a conclusion, some insights are given and a new possible researched avenue is presented.

Abstract
Learning is understood as an educational activity which aims to help develop the capacities of individuals. These capabilities make individuals able to establish a personal relationship with the environment in which they are inserted. For the learning process to develop the individual has to use its sensory, motor, cognitive, affective and linguistic. Thus, this work aims at studying the effect of emotion in learning systems in online learning environments, analysing the extent to which emotional state can influence the thinking, decision making and learning process.

Publication
2016 11TH IBERIAN CONFERENCE ON INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGIES (CISTI)

Abstract
With this paper we intend to present a systematic literature review on Web accessibility. During this research project, 782 papers were identified and by following a set of inclusion criteria, 38 stood out and were extensively analyzed. On this context we approach a set of Web accessibility critical issues, such as: guidelines, standards and regulations; mobile accessibility; organizations and user perspectives on the topic. During the full scope of this document we adopt a positive position, always focused on presenting solutions to ensure websites accessibility.
