The implementation of Building Information modelling (BIM) methodology in the construction industry has been covering wide applicability with recognized benefits in designing, constructing and operating buildings. A recent short course organized in the University of Lisbon, actualized with the most relevant achievement based in master research, was offered to professionals of the industry, namely, architects and civil engineers coming from diverse engineering areas, environment, construction, maintenance, consult and patrimonial enterprises and also from public organizations like city councils. The proposed action covers the areas of construction (conflict analysis, planning and materials take-off), structures (interoperability, analyses and transfer of information between software) and the most recent Heritage Building Information Modelling (HBIM) topic. The course aims to contribute to the dissemination of the potential of BIM in the areas of designing, construction and refurbishing of historical buildings. The participants followed the course with great interest and satisfaction, formulating several questions directed to the particular activity of each of the attendees.

The adoption of Blockchain has caused the organization to rethink how it operates and adds value to its current processes. Some scholars refer to Blockchain as the Black Swan of the 21st century, which will have a greater impact than the introduction of the Internet. Currently, there is little discussion about Blockchain technology and the value model approach and how organizations can close the gap between strategy and operational planning to successfully implement this technology in organizations. This paper explores the relationship and implications of Blockchain technology in relation to the value chain model in education. This paper proposes a value modeling approach for implementing Blockchain in the education sector and demonstrates how a solution works in practice. The novelty of the research will be from both theoretical and practical perspectives. The study will appraise enhancement that can be made within the existing literature on Blockchain and the value chain model, and how the alignment of the two concepts can be used to improve the use of the current value chain model in the education sector.

The field of information systems has historically suffered from a pre-dominance of behavioral approaches. As a result, it is not surprising that in spite of decades of research, dozens of conferences and journals and thousands of researchers, very few breakthroughs have been achieved. This paper advocates a technical approach that focuses on improving existing systems in organizations by viewing them from the point of roles i.e. functions fulfilled by IS in organizations. These are understood as: 1) supporting operations, 2) providing information, 3) supporting decision making, 4) providing knowledge, 5) supporting knowledge and clerical work, and 6) supporting organizational design. It is generally agreed that the field’s understanding of fulfil-ling roles “1”, “2”, “3” and “6” is mature while understanding of areas “3” (for unstructured decisions), “4”, and “5” are still incomplete. The challenges in these areas are difficult problems that we refer to as grand challenges and discuss in this paper.

Although the opioid crisis is a problem worldwide, recent emerging technology has the potential of curtailing the epidemic. By administering micro-doses of medication as needed, a feedback-driven medicine pump could les-sen the highs and lows associated with the formation of an addiction. The focus of this study was to develop a feedback control loop for this pump that optimizes drug concentration in the bloodstream based on set criteria. In the process of optimization of the system, the mathematical model representing the system was analyzed to find an open loop transfer function. Using this function, a PID tuner was applied to set feedback control. Both machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques are explored to act as a classifier that aids the pump in administering doses. The setpoint concentration of medication in the patient’s bloodstream was calculated to be 7.55 mg/ml this setpoint was the basis for steady state concentration of the transfer function. When a PID tuner was added to the feedback system, the plot was optimized to satisfy the design criteria of a rise time less than 25-minutes and no more than a 5% overshoot of the setpoint concentration. Naïve Bayesian (NB), Tree and support-vector machines (SVM) classifiers achieved the best classification accuracy of 100%. A DL network was successfully developed to predict patient class. This work is the theoretical basis for developing a feedback-driven medicine pump and an algorithm that can classify patients based on their body’s metabolism that will aid the doctor in formatting the medicine pump so that the patient is receiving the proper amount of medication.
