“…For question C2 ("Evaluate (next 12-18 months) the priorities in the implementation of DT in the organization"), for the same technology categories of question B8, the respondents must classify the ten technologies within the following scale ranging: "No priority" (1), "Low priority" (2), "Strong priority" (3), "Total priority" (4) and (N/A) "Not applicable".…”

“…Organizations who do not take advantage of this moment to evolve and transform themselves, are in danger of disappearing or being superseded by more agile organizations. In this sense, DT are also improving usability and accessibility in the educational context [4]. Technology is ever-present and allows for the incorporation and strengthening of new educational strategies, currently employed in new teaching frameworks in the last two decades [5].DT supplies a plethora of competition, new business models, new organizational models and new services.…”

The current technological evolution allows us to easily and quickly obtain more information, computing capacity, communication and connectivity, in addition to allowing new forms of collaboration between disperse networks of diversified actors. This new reality not only offers enormous potential for innovation and enhanced performance for organizations but also, extends beyond the classic boundaries to affect individuals, other organizations and society in general. At the same time, this reality makes the ability of organizations to uphold their competitive advantage more challenging, since the control of the elements of their operating environment decreases drastically as they increasingly control the elements of the same environment. This is how the digital transformation of organizations becomes unavoidable, because otherwise they tend to disappear. In this context, it is necessary to infer our students’ methods for researching, identifying and taking solutions about if organizations in Portugal are already living the aforementioned digital transformation or if they are aware of the need to adapt to this new reality. The main goal of this research formatted as educational approach, is to evaluate and compare the current state of digital adoption in terms of the preparation according to the prevailing technological categories (pillars and innovation accelerators), as well as future priorities of organizations in the implementation of digital transformation in Portuguese organizations. To evaluate such objectives, a Project Based Learning (PBL) approach was used to reinforce the research and decision-making skills of undergraduate business students. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that organizations are aware of the need to accommodate the digital transformation not to fail and disappearing. However, it is not possible to conclude which strategy is to be adopted by the organizations, and how such a strategy will affect the organization as a whole, in particular as in respect of its business model.

“…Technological ecosystems [39][40][41][42][43][44] are considered a variant of software ecosystems [45,46] in which people are an inherent part of the ecosystem. Users are part of the processes of definition and development of ecosystems, not only in the phase of obtaining requirements [47] or as final users, but as a critical component in complex systems [48,49].…”

Young people are distinguished as a social group with the capacity to drive new behaviours and understandings in today's society. However, most young people consider that people in charge of decision-making processes are not addressing their concerns. The WYRED project proposes a framework for citizen science based on a technological ecosystem to promote the transfer of perspectives, ideas, and knowledge among young people and decision-makers on issues related to the digital society. The work goal is to analyse the model proposed through a citizen science case study centred in identifying the ideas and opinions of children and young people between 7 and 30 years old, concerning gender stereotypes on the Internet. A total of 69 children and young people from Belgium, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom have interacted for two weeks in a private space guaranteed by the defined ecosystem. The results of the analysis of the interaction between young people and facilitators (with different profiles: educators, researchers and decision-makers) demonstrate that the use of technological ecosystems to sustain the development of citizen science projects allows for the improvement of knowledge transfer processes between children and young people with stakeholders, as well as the analysis of these processes.

“…In today's society, where we have chosen to include the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) [12], it is common to bet on the creation of intelligent systems in various sectors, which usually have positive effects and generate inclusive social models making cities more attractive for their citizens [15] [11] and because their presence and impact is growing, it is important to take advantage of the opportunities that offers us [20]. It is in this kind of environments where crowdsourcing has become a very important tool for the search of solutions based on the information provided by the community and the enrichment through the generated interactions [21], in such way that it becomes a useful way to capture information, synthesize it and generate knowledge related to different social problems [7].…”

This article gives a general review of the presence of crime in today's society, its impact in the daily life of the citizens and proposes the use of Safe Paths, a mobile application focused on risk prevention based on social collaboration and cooperative learning to identify dangerous areas and give alerts based on their users' location and the risks around to them. It also describes some technical aspects of Safe Paths such as its architecture from the MVC approach; the use cases and actors involved in said application and finally shows its graphical user interface.
