The proliferation of smartphones and sensor-based networks has led to a greater need for context-aware applications and pervasive business processes. One of the key approaches that seek to satisfy this need is context-aware service composition. Service composition can be achieved in two ways, i.e., service choreography and service orchestration. Embedding the context into an orchestrated composite service enhances its flexibility, but makes its development and execution more complicated. This study aims to reduce this complexity by introducing the CA-BPEL approach. Our proposed approach enables developers to turn a standard orchestrated service into a context-aware orchestrated service, consistent with the standard WS-BPEL language. This study applies the Design Science Research Methodology, in which we evaluate CA-BPEL by using a tourism demonstration along with the conduction of a usability survey that shows the convenience of the proposed approach. We also compare our proposed approach with 14 related studies. Our investigations suggest that CA-BPEL has much potential to facilitate the development and execution of context-aware service compositions.

This paper introduces the praxeologically grounded research programme on socio-informatics developed at the University of Siegen and the International Institute for Socio-Informatics in Germany. We outline our methodological framework of grounded design, guiding and binding together a variety of different engagements in practice which we call design case studies (DCS). While grounded design is applied to a broad variety of different areas, in this paper we deal specifically with our engagements in support of communities and political activists. To exemplify our approach, we present one DCS: It focuses on the participatory development of a computer club in the High Atlas as a facilitation infrastructure to support public community participation in the process of modernization and social transformation in the Maghreb. Insights into the project context, the objectives and methodology and the depiction of some of its first findings lays the ground for the discussion of socio-informatics research principles.

The World Wide Web (the Web) has become part of people’s daily lives. Although the Web, like the Internet itself, was designed as a decentralized network, hand in hand with the increase in its interactivity Web users gradually concentrated on a limited number of platforms. As a result, providers of these large international platforms have become centres of power that can easily influence users’ behaviour and what information they can access. This paper is based on an integrative literature review and its aim is to describe the development of the Web from its beginnings to the present. This development is viewed from the perspective of centralization of the Web and the reactions that this centralization has provoked, especially the current trends towards the so-called re-decentralized Web. More specifically, the paper focuses on the privacy imperative that might act as a driving force for the re-decentralized Web, and on the technological innovations enabling development of truly decentralized platforms and applications. This paper contributes to the discussion of implications that a wider adoption of the re-decentralized Web could bring in the near future.

To be able to play an active role in the design, creation and development of a networked society, students, scholars and practitioners need basic knowledge in social informatics. Students at a university of applied sciences attended a one-term seminar that consisted of eight two-day workshops. The students learned and used theories, concepts and methods of social informatics (SI), focusing on the sociological part of SI. The learning and teaching approach is grounded in competency-based learning. It enables students to explore a certain field. This is implemented by means of organization development, project-based learning, agile learning and teaching plus blended learning. It empowers teachers and students to work together efficiently, effectively and with joy. To learn how and why this approach worked, an embedded case study investigated the design, implementation and evaluation of the workshop series. Finally, the paper describes impediments to the communication and understanding of the term and the field of social informatics and sketches ideas how to deal with it concerning study programmes and the value social informatics can contribute to challenges like a pandemic.

With the development of modern data processing, mining and collection technologies, various companies and institutions will have more opportunities to make these data operations faster and more efficiently. From the economic perspective, processing personal data is evidently lucrative and companies would therefore like to obtain as much data as possible. This paper analyses and summarizes existing and emerging social and economic trends, implications and issues caused by clashes between European legislation on personal data protection (the GDPR) and current data processing practices. Utilizing both quantitative and qualitative data, the article attempts to scrutinize the implications of the conflict between the rising demand for privacy and personal data protection on the one hand and the ever-growing need to process and store personal data, especially by commercial organizations, on the other. Analysing databases, legislation, reports, statistical data and surveys, the paper attempts to provide an estimate of the value of personal data and the consequences of poor handling of personal data.

Recommender systems (RS) are designed to eliminate the information overload problem in today's e-commerce platforms and other data-centric online services. They help users explore and exploit the system's information environment utilizing implicit and explicit data from internal e-commerce systems and user interactions. Today's product catalogues include pictures to provide visual detail at a glance. This approach can effectively convert potential buyers into customers. Since most e-commerce stores use product images to promote, arouse users' visual desires and encourage them to buy products, this paper develops an image-based RS using deep learning techniques. To perform the research, we use five convolutional neural network (CNN) models to extract the features of the products' images. Then, the system uses the features to calculate the similarity between images. The selected CNN models are VGG16, VGG19, ResNet50, Inception V3 and Xception. We also analysed four versions of the MovieLens dataset to demonstrate the accuracy improvement of the recommendations, including 100k, 1M, 10M and 20M. Results of the experiment showed a significant increase in accuracy compared with traditional approaches. Also, we express many related open issues including use of multiple images per item, different similarity metrics, other CNN models, and the hybridization of image-based and different RS techniques for future studies. This method also provides more accurate product recommendations on e-commerce platforms than traditional methods.

When interacting with each other virtually on social media sites, users may potentially encounter their own “self-presence”. To improve their physical self-presence on social media, users might resolve to curate themselves to match their ideal perceptions of themselves and others. This study examines the intention to alter one’s factual self in real life whilst contemplating the on-line self on social media. Data were derived from a social survey of Vietnamese adults. The results indicate the remarkable mediating relationship from the level of editing self-images to three choices of intention to change the body image in real life. Nevertheless, this paper does not provide enough evidence to confirm any link connecting distal intentions (D-intentions), proximal intentions (P-intentions) and motor intentions (M-intentions) with private self-consciousness, with the latter as the moderator variable. This study, therefore, might provide an exclusive idea of how online behaviour can be related to one’s offline behaviour in terms of body image. With an understanding of this aspect, many implications can be found in regard to applications/programmes in research, development and marketing.
