COMPUTERS SUPPORTED EDUCATION
Abstract
The integration of social media in education has been raising new challenges for teachers, students and organizations, in both traditional and technology-mediated learnings settings. Formal higher education contexts are still mostly anchored and locked up in institutional LMS, despite the innumerous educational digressions that educators have been conducting throughout social media networks. One of the biggest challenges in contemporary educational needs consists on managing the integration, validation and reporting on educational processes, goals and student performance, when they are widely spread in several formal and informal contexts. In this chapter a system for the integration of LMS and social media is presented, as well as evidence on its practical usage. A set of social network analytics are also brought forward as features that are currently being added to the referred system.

Abstract
Seventy millennial students answered a survey on attitudes towards leadership and their desired approach to higher education. What is their perspective on knowledge management and dissemination in academia? Some romanticizing may be beneficial, but the great majority of students want to be enlightened and well-prepared for that which they will encounter in business markets. Three interviews with seasoned executives were also performed, to establish a contrast and see other perspectives. We conclude that to become a great corporate leader may in fact be dependent on your DNA and personality make-up, but this is not what is thought to be true, by the majority of the respondents in the survey. Motivation took the most votes as being fundamental for success, a positive sign and indicative of a hard working millennial generation, contrary to previous research findings. IT is also a precious partner in class, in particular Padlet.com, Moodle, the online News Forum, as well as the challenge to create original videos about course content.

Abstract
This paper proposes a Predictive Dispatch System (PDS) as part of a Multi-Agent system that models the Smart Home Electricity System (MASHES). The proposed PDS consists of a Decision-Making System (DMS) and a Prediction Engine (PE). The considered Smart Home Electricity System (SHES) consists of different agents, each with different tasks in the system. A Modified Stochastic Predicted Bands (MSPB) interval optimization method is used to model the uncertainty in the Home Energy Management (HEM) problem. Moreover, the proposed method to solve HEM problem is based on the Moving Window Algorithm (MWA). The performance of the proposed Home Energy Management System (HEMS) is evaluated using a JADE implementation of the MASHES.

Abstract
This paper presents REQCAP, an implementation of a new method that articulates hierarchical requirements modeling and test generation to assist in the process of capturing requirements for PLC-based control systems. REQCAP is based on a semi-formal graphical model that supports hierarchical modeling, thus enabling compositional specifications. The tool supports automated generation of test cases according to different coverage criteria. It can also import requirements directly from REQIF files and automatically generate Sequential Function Charts (SFCs). We use a real-world case study to show how REQCAP can be used to model realistic system requirements. We show how the automated generation of SFCs and test cases can support engineers (and clients) in visualizing and reviewing requirements. Moreover, all the tests listed in the original test document of the case study are also generated automatically by REQCAP, demonstrating that the tool can be used to effectively capture requirements and generate valid and useful test cases.

AMBIENT INTELLIGENCE- SOFTWARE AND APPLICATIONS- 8TH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON AMBIENT INTELLIGENCE (ISAMI 2017)
Abstract
This paper proposes a review of Energy Management Systems (EMSs) based on Multi-Agent Systems (MASs). Also, goal, scale, strategy and software are discussed as different characteristics of the EMSs. Then, multi agent-based structure of the EMSs is described. Finally, challenges and future discussions related to the EMSs are presented in this paper.
