Elements of Sustainability for Public Sector Software : Mosaic Enterprise Architecture, Macroservices, and Low-Code
2021
Public sector is a large consumer for software. In countries such as Finland, many of the systems are made to order by consultancy companies that participate in public tenders. These tenders initiated by the state, cities, and other public sector organizations. Furthermore, as public sector tasks are often decomposed to various actors, each and every one of them makes their purchase based on their own needs. In this paper, we argue that to maintain software sustainability in this context, there is a need for three key elements. Firstly, there is a need for an enterprise architecture where independent services from various vendors are can be easily deployed and integrated. Secondly, these se…
How Do Software Companies Deal with Artificial Intelligence Ethics? : A Gap Analysis
2022
The public and academic discussion on Artificial Intelligence (AI) ethics is accelerating and the general public is becoming more aware AI ethics issues such as data privacy in these systems. To guide ethical development of AI systems, governmental and institutional actors, as well as companies, have drafted various guidelines for ethical AI. Though these guidelines are becoming increasingly common, they have been criticized for a lack of impact on industrial practice. There seems to be a gap between research and practice in the area, though its exact nature remains unknown. In this paper, we present a gap analysis of the current state of the art by comparing practices of 39 companies that …
Towards a Great Design of Conceptual Modelling
2020
Humankind faces a most crucial mission; we must endeavour, on a global scale, to restore and improve our natural and social environments. This is a big challenge for global information systems development and for their modelling. In this paper, we discuss on different aspects of conceptual modelling in global environmental context. The paper is the summary of the panel session “The Future of Conceptual Modelling” in the 29th International Conference on Information Modelling and Knowledge Bases. peerReviewed
Implementing Intranet 2.0: A Study of Knowledge Requirements for External Consultants in Enterprise Systems
2014
Published article from the series: Procedia Technology. Also available on Science Direct: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.protcy.2014.10.018 Open Access This paper reports on a case study focusing on intranet implementation projects seen from a consultancy lens. SharePoint is an Intranet 2.0 platform which is a user-centric system based on functionalities adapted from Web 2.0 technologies. Intranet implementation projects are accompanied by a complex socio-technical organizational environment, and require changes in organizational structure and culture. While former studies mainly have focused on challenges seen from the implementing organization's perspective, this study focuses on the experie…
Study of explicit instruction and structured inquiry methods on knowledge acquisition and conceptual change in science learning
2013
International audience; This study compares two pedagogical methods: explicit instruction and structured inquiry methods. We question the effectiveness of the two learning methods to acquire scientific knowledge and to modify learner conceptions. Do explicit instruction and structured inquiry methods have the same impact on the learning of science? If not, why?The results of this work show that explicit instruction and structured inquiry methods increase strongly acquisition of knowledge and improve weakness conception.So these two methods are same positive effects on acquisition of scientific knowledge but they are also the same negative results on evolution of conceptions because the conc…
Evolution of scientific conceptions and knowledge among gymnasium pupils
2014
International audience; Two major models investigate the relationship between conceptions and knowledge: the KVP model of Clement and the structural model of Balacheff. In order to prove the necessity to shift the conceptions as claimed by Giordan’s allosteric model, it is important to study the evolution and the relationship between conceptions and knowledge. This research deals with the following questions: what sort of relationship can be established between conceptions and knowledge? What factor can make these two parameters evolve? This study was carried out on 45 pupils (two classrooms). It intended to collect conceptions and knowledge before and after science learning training. Indiv…

Laïcité : un espace sensible, territoire ou terroir du sacré
2017
International audience; Cet article se propose d'examiner comment la notion de laïcité a intégré tous les domaines de la vie sociale. Après avoir resituer les concepts essentiels qui jalonnent l'analyse, nous nous prendrons appui sur des exemples précis touchant le citoyen et/ou le consommateur qui mettent en relation laïcité, religion et sacré. Ainsi, la laïcité peut-elle agir comme nouvelle figure du réenchantement ? L'analyse sera menée sous l'obédience des Sic et s'intéressera à l'expérience communicationnelle mise en oeuvre.
Do Software Firms Collaborate or Compete? A Model of Coopetition in Community-initiated OSS Projects
2019
[Background] An increasing number of commercial firms are participating in Open Source Software (OSS) projects to reduce their development cost and increase technical innovativeness. When collaborating with other firms whose sought values are conflicts of interests, firms may behave uncooperatively leading to harmful impacts on the common goal. [Aim] This study explores how software firms both collaborate and compete in OSS projects. [Method] We adopted a mixed research method on three OSS projects. [Result] We found that commercial firms participating in community-initiated OSS projects collaborate in various ways across the organizational boundaries. While most of firms contribute little,…
The «tuera» as a bitter fruit of suffering love: between the Cancionero General (1511) and El rayo que no cesa by Miguel Hernández (1936)
2020
El Cancionero General de Hernando del Castillo (Valencia, 1511) presenta una canción de Pedro Fajardo, Adelantado de Murcia, con un encabezado que remite a unas «tueras» (una especie de pequeña calabaza silvestre), como invención o empresa. El sabor de la «tuera» es muy amargo y por ello, en las escasas ocasiones en que aparece el término en literatura, las «tueras» se asocian con la amargura del sufrimiento amoroso (y a veces tal vez con la gravedad y los pesares del embarazo y la crianza). Encontraremos una nueva utilización poética de la «tuera» solamente cuatro siglos después, en uno de los sonetos de Miguel Hernández, «Fuera menos penado», incluido en su libro El rayo que no cesa (1936…
