Using RFID in the Engineering of Interactive Software Systems: A Systematic Mapping

IoT, Industry 4.0, and ubiquitous applications demand an intense exchange of information between actors (humans, animals, plants, or other objects) and things. Different interaction technologies, techniques, and methods can support it, including RFID, a well-known technology capable of identifying and locating actors. However, the variety of application domains and interaction possibilities jeopardize the use of RFID without a clear understanding of its usage issues. Therefore, we have performed a systematic mapping to characterize the adoption of RFID technology in this kind of interactive software system by intercepting human-computer interaction and software engineering issues. Our goal is to reveal (i) which application domains address RFID; (ii) why RFID is used instead of other technologies; (iii) who interacts through RFID and how the interaction is; (iv) what are the requirements and limitations associated with it; and (v) what are the common quality characteristics and measures which should be considered for their evaluation. The results showed that (i) RFID is specially used for implementing implicit interactions in healthcare, embedded systems, and manufacturing applications. (ii) Passive UHF RFID is usually adopted due to being contactless, low-cost, and well-performing indoors. (iii) It interacts with humans and things in the same proportion, most frequently to collect locations of sensor data constantly. (iv) RFID presents limitations, such as causing electromagnetic interference and not working well near metallic walls. However, tags work under high temperatures and can be well hidden in cement or clothes. (v) Interactive system designers usually create applications with invisible infrastructures, which tend to keep users' focus on the real world.?

Employee acceptance of disruptive service innovations at the frontline: The role of collective sensemaking processes

Acceptance of service innovation by frontline employees is a challenging issue, especially if such innovations have the potential to disrupt existing value creation models and individual competencies. Disruptive service innovations are often (1) characterized by a high degree of innovativeness related to significant changes in technology and in the market and (2) may be introduced by technology manufacturers as new service market entrants that cause a competitive threat to the existing service provision. We argue that such innovations challenge frontline employees' focus on routines and standardized service operating procedures. The perceived threat and resulting high levels of uncertainty may inhibit innovation acceptance. Our study follows a collective sensemaking perspective, paying special attention to investigating the moderating role of (1) the exchange of operational information within a workgroup and (2) a firm's entrepreneurial orientation. Whereas the former may increase frontline employees' preference for incremental improvements, the latter may help to increase the acceptance level of potentially more disruptive innovations. We test our theoretically derived hypotheses with an experimental vignette study of 671 frontline employees in the field of audiology, a health care market particularly affected by both more radical and market entrant innovations. Results show that a high degree of innovativeness has a negative effect on innovation acceptance. Frontline employees accept radical innovations less readily than incremental innovations. A competitive threat from new technology manufacturers in the supply chain does not lead to a lower innovation acceptance level. The moderation results indicate significant effects of both information exchange and entrepreneurial orientation. Intensive information exchange within the workgroup strengthens the negative relationship between the degree of innovativeness and innovation acceptance. In contrast, a high degree of entrepreneurial orientation weakens the negative relationship between a competitive threat and innovation acceptance.

THE CULTURAL AND INTEGRATIVE ROLE OF THE SYMBOLIC SYSTEM OF LANGUAGE AND COMMUNICATION IN DETERMINING THE SOCIAL POLICY OF UKRAINE: INTERDISCIPLINARY GLOBALIZATION DISCOURSE

The relevance of the review study arises due to the need to understand the role of language communication in the era of globalization against the background of world economic, socio-political and environmental crises, when a new linguistic picture of the world, a new person and a new quality of life are being formed. In the process of research, we came to the conclusions that (1) clarifying the essence of language as a product of activity, and as the phenomenon of activity itself, showed that social political, ecological and economic processes, as well as problems are to a certain extent the products of linguistic phenomena. Taking these circumstances into account is a necessary condition for the development of Ukraine's social policy. (2) Today, it can be stated that the linguistic paradigmatic turn in the national Ukrainian discourse raised awareness of the importance of sign, language, thinking and culture to a new level, marked by close attention to the revival of Ukrainian ethnic culture in parallel with active intercultural communication against the general background of globalization. (3). Modern sociolinguistic research does not provide a clear picture of the nationalization of linguistic and communicative culture under the conditions of world globalization processes. Instead, it is safe to say that each epoch has its own language and its own specific possibilities of discourse. That is, language and language communication are both an interconnected whole organism and a dynamic, constantly changing, variable system that always creates a problem of understanding. And in periods when the dialogue of eras is destroyed, the problem of understanding is especially relevant, which is observed during globalization that we experience today. (4). Language reserve of probable language communication in solving the problems of understanding and misunderstanding in the existance of ethnic groups consist in the close interaction of their cultures. Communicative interaction of languages and cultures leads not only to intensive information exchange, which occurs at the stage of globalization and the information revolution, but also to an equal dialogue (polylogue) of cultures in the future to jointly solve global human problems on our planet.

THE NEGATIVE IMPACT OF “THE FALSE FRIENDS OF THE INTERPRETER” ON THE ENGLISH CONTEXT (BASED ON THE MATERIAL OF ARCHITECTURAL VOCABULARY)

The relevance of the use of “the false friends of the interpreter” on the English context is highlighted in the article. First, more attention has been paid to the development of communication skills at English classes, which can be useful for students of technical universities regarding their future professional activities. Secondly, teaching students to translate correctly from English into Ukrainian and from Ukrainian into English is of great importance nowadays because of a rapid expansion of international relations and an intensive exchange of information between European and Asian countries. Third, translation of a scientific text from English into Ukrainian has its specificity. Any word or term can be translated differently in various fields of science and technology. “The false friends of the interpreter” play a significant role in translation. Therefore, the interpreter should be extremely careful, take a responsible attitude to the translation and beware of mistakes in case of a clear inconsistency of the statement within the situation of communication. Practically all English words are polysemantic and, in this case, context plays an important role here. It is in such critical situations when dictionaries and reference books which can help to dwell in the context and to understand the contents of the text. The article defines a negative impact of the false friends of the interpreter on the English context (based on the material of architectural vocabulary). The essence of the concept “the false friends of the interpreter” is defined; the place of “the false friends of the interpreter” in English is considered and the features of using “the false friends of the interpreter” in the English context are determined. It was proved that “the false friends of the interpreter” is a problem not only for beginners and inexperienced interpreters, but also for those who speak a foreign language confidently. In its turn, the interpreter's responsibility and careful work with the context will help to avoid serious mistakes and inconvenient situations.

Using Means of Electronic Educational Resources for Learning Lexicology and Phraseology

The article revealed that electronic educational resources (EER) during the study of lexicology and phraseology provide forming communicative skills, enriching and expressing the vocabulary of education seekers.
 The purpose of the paper is to analyze the features of using electronic educational resources during the study of lexicology and phraseology by education seekers.
 In the course of the study, a set of research methods was used, which included theoretical (literature analysis, synthesis, generalization, comparison) and empirical (observation, conversations, etc.) methods.
 The results. The development of lexicology and phraseology as sections of linguistic science is determined by analyzing and synthesizing scientific and methodological ideas.
 It has been proven that the purpose of creating electronic educational resources is to ensure the modernization of the educational process. Thanks to the usage of EER, the content of lexical and phraseological material is updated, intensive exchange of information between students takes place. It is substantiated that in connection with the spread of COVID-19 and the introduction of martial law, education process in most educational institutions has moved to a distance learning based on information and communication technologies. Therefore, education seekers are actively involved in information resources, have the opportunity to select the necessary material, participate in virtual discussions, and communicate.
 It has been found that EER give an opportunity to provide education seekers with the necessary information, increase the level and quality of educational services. The increase in the amount of information, the global processes of humanization, globalization, and integration objectively determine the modernization of the content of educational programs, and the renewal of forms, methods and means of learning during the study of vocabulary and phraseology.
 Conclusions. It has been proven that there is a need to update the content of curricula and the content of courses in order to further develop communicative competence since the future personal success of students in adult life depends on the formation of skills to express themselves correctly, and clearly.

The conditions under which marketing is most effective are determined. The practical significance of the work lies in the fact that the basis for the development of an effective marketing system based on the Industrial Internet of Things is proposed.

Catching Errors in Cyclic Codes Detection of Errors in Cyclic Codes Error - Trapping in Cyclic Codes

Coding theory (English: coding theory) is a branch of mathematics (mathematics) and computer science (computer science) that deals with error-prone situations in the process of transmitting data over communication channels. noise channels), using sophisticated methods that make the majority of errors that occur can be corrected. It also deals with the characteristics of the codes (codes), and thus makes them suitable for specific applications. One of the most important scientific and technical problems at the present stage is the creation of automated control and monitoring systems for performing various tasks. In the process of automated control and monitoring, there is an intensive exchange of information between the individual parts of the systems, while the volume of information, as well as the speed of processing and transmitting it, are constantly growing. Increasingly high requirements are imposed on the reliability of transmitted messages, which leads to the need to apply special measures that reduce the frequency of errors to a certain acceptable level.

The information library infrastructure of Uzbekistan: The three-level management model

The current trends in information infrastructure and its component information library infrastructure (ILI) are analyzed. The specific characteristics of Uzbekistan ILI are: building libraries for modern technological applications and developing existing infrastructure. The main problems the ministries and library community face are revealed. The ILI organizational model based on hierarchy is discussed. The author considers the three-level system to be the most efficient for the libraries’ interdepartmental interaction. This would provide for information cooperation in building union resources (e-catalogs, databases), and library management. Taking into account the specific character of library management in the Republic of Uzbekistan, the ILI based on the corporate library networks of various departments would enable: to computerize information acquisition, accumulation and transfer at all levels for efficient management; to provide open access to union e-catalog for all libraries and users; to build libraries’ local digital resources; to increase efficiency of interaction and cooperation between the National Library and the libraries of various departments; to save money and human assets through excluded work duplication and intensive information exchange.

The Changing of Students' Language and Behaviour by the Intensity of Intercultural Communication on Social Media: A Case Study in ELT Class

This research conducted based on the phenomon on the languages and behaviours are showed by the students when they interact with their friends, teachers, and stafs at school. This research aims to find out the changes of students’ language and behavior in relation with the intensity of intercultural communication using social media. This research had been done in one of Senior High Schools in Mataram especially to the third grade students of science and social department. In getting the data, this research applied observation, interview, and questionnaire. It found that the intensity of exchange culture information by using social media has influenced most teenager today. Firstly, the students tend to use their language by using a kind of “Alay language” when they interact with their friends or even with their teachers whether inside or outside of the classroom. Secondly, the intensity of exchange culture information by using social media could help students to finish their school tasks. They work cooperatively with their friends in small groups. They are able to find out the information they need to present cultural celebrations and how something happens in less than fifteen minutes. This intercultural communication could also help them to build up their awareness of cultural differences among them. However, this intensive exchange of cultural information could also lead students to prefer to communicate with their network friends to friends in their school and home environment. Moreover, the students are likely becoming less sensitive towards their friends’ problems. In addition, the intensive of exchange of culture information by using social media could lead them to the model of thinking which is likely to force their arrogances and egoism.

Intercultural communication as the basis for effective teaching of foreign languages

The article examines the role and importance of intercultural communication in the process of learning a foreign language at university. Intercultural interaction is viewed as a source of formation and development of professional and personal qualities of students, intercultural competency and interethnic tolerance, as a means of overcoming communication difficulties in situations of foreign language communication. In modern society, in the context of digitalisation, the development of informational and social networks, with the introduction of distance education, intercultural foreign language communication is considered an indispensable part of life and learning. It is characterised by an intensive exchange of information, values and experience, by networking and maintaining contacts, and developing cooperation. Intercultural dialogue allows students to expand their knowledge of cultural characteristics, traditions, etiquette and customs of people living in different countries; to understand and accept the linguistic and cultural diversity of communication partners; to improve their skills and abilities; to use language and speech means, choose strategies and tactics of behaviour and communication in order to achieve mutual understanding and goals following the communicative task and communicative situation. Reliance on intercultural communication in the process of learning foreign languages contributes to the interiorisation of new knowledge, the development of social activity, creativity and mobility of students, increases the motivation to learn a foreign language, inspires the use of new interesting psychological and pedagogic forms in studies and work, allowing effective interaction in a multicultural environment.

Increasing the Level of Professional Competence Using a Virtual Educational Environment

The article addresses the issues of creating a virtual educational environment using special equipment. The 3DVista Virtual Tour program was chosen as the development environment for the virtual tour, using features related to e-Learning and automatic integration with LMS Moodle. The virtual space of the created educational environment provides an opportunity for the existence of various forms of educational communication, based on the capabilities of modern teaching tools and modern information and communication technologies, allows you to provide conditions for improving the quality of education, exchanging of views, and mutual consultation. The use of web-quest technology will allow young people to shape their common understanding of the profession, realize the demands placed on professionals in this sphere, will contribute to identify their personal and professional interests and aptitudes, and will also help schoolchildren and students to make independently and consciously their professional choice This technology fosters the development of communication skills and a more intensive exchange of information in the process of learning or mastering new academic material. All this ensures an increase in the level of professional competence of schoolchildren and students.

Robust optimization of information flows in global production networks using multi-method simulation and surrogate modelling

Low information exchange in global production networks results in long response time to disruption and negative performance impact. Digitalization enables a more intensive information exchange. This paper analyses the performance of order management, quality problem resolution and engineering change management in production networks with respect to different disruptions and information flows. Cause-effect relationships are revealed based on a multi-method simulation model and statistical experiments. Using surrogate modelling and robust optimization, a target picture for information exchange is determined. The benefits of the approach are demonstrated using a case study for the production of metal-plastic parts for the automotive supplier industry.

Methodology for Multi-Aspect Ontology Development: Ontology for Decision Support Based on Human-Machine Collective Intelligence

The advantage of human-machine collective intelligence for decision support systems is the ability to make better decisions due to the mitigation of human biases in the generation of potential solutions and their evaluation. So far, the potential of human-machine collective intelligence was used only in few decision support systems, however, teamwork between humans and machines has not been achieved. This is partly due to the lack of interoperability in these systems. In earlier works, the authors proposed the apparatus of multi-aspect ontologies implying the integration of multiple domain ontologies to provide interoperability between humans and machines and coordinate interrelated processes going on in the systems of the considered type. Such ontologies have proved efficient for systems that require intensive information and knowledge exchange between loosely-related dynamic autonomous domains (e.g., enterprise knowledge management, product lifecycle management, or human-machine collective intelligence systems). However, existing ontology development methodologies fail to recommend a process that would support cross-domain knowledge integration during the multi-aspect ontology development. Moreover, the structure of the multi-aspect ontology imposes some restrictions on the integration approach. The paper proposes such a methodology for the multi-aspect ontology development that incorporates the aspect integration approach at multiple levels. The methodology is applied to develop a multi-aspect ontology for decision support based on human-machine collective intelligence. An example from the “e-tourism” domain demonstrates the applicability of the proposed methodology as well as the usage of the multi-aspect ontology for a human-machine environment aimed at solving real-world problems. The proposed methodology can facilitate the development of ontologies for complex knowledge-based systems that operate with knowledge from multiple loosely-connected domains.

Model for planning and controlling the delivery and assembly of engineer-to-order prefabricated building systems: exploring synergies between Lean and BIM

The adoption of prefabricated building systems has grown due to the need to reduce duration and cost of construction projects, as well as to improve quality and working conditions. However, the adoption of those systems requires an intense exchange of information to integrate the production of components, logistics operations, and site assembly. This is particularly important in engineer-to-order environments, in which the level of uncertainty tends to be high. This research proposes a model for planning and controlling the delivery and assembly of ETO prefabricated building systems, emphasizing the integration between site installation and logistics operations. This model was devised in an empirical study carried out in a company that delivers and assembles prefabricated concrete structures. The main theoretical contribution is a set of approaches to implement the “pull production” and “reduce variability” principles in this particular context, exploring synergies that exist between Lean Production principles and Building Information Modeling (BIM) functionalities.

СЕТЕВАЯ ЛИЧНОСТЬ КАК КУЛЬТУРНЫЙ ФЕНОМЕН: ДИАЛОГИЗМ В ПРАКТИКЕ СОВРЕМЕННОГО БЛОГЕРА

Intensive information exchange and effective levers of horizontal democracy problematize the status of a journalist. The line between the audience and the producers of information is blurred. Non-traditional media projects are based on collaboration and dialogue. Media participation occurs when a person develops public activism and seeks to express himself publicly. In the article, such active people are defined as a trans-audience, and the new author is defined as a mediaprosumer. A journalist who is concerned with professional success finds himself as a blogger in the modern media situation. The blogger's online identity unfolds in a multi-vector way. The potential for dialogue inherent in posting as it is (the author's blog posts) is revealed during communication in the social network about the post. The concept of comment-communication is introduced, which is a system of dialogues and polylogues of different duration on different comment branches and often significantly transforms and develops the original topics of the post. When posting/comment-communication occurs situational interaction of a unique nature. The commentator personally addresses the author of the post, and the author personifies his response based on his understanding of the media network personality of this commentator. The two network dialog partners are mutually configured and integrated into each other. The number of such dialogical (and quite often polylogical, with the participation of several interlocutors) duels for one blogger is unlimited, except for his desire and the degree of professional self-mobilisation. On the other hand, the potential of a dialogue between different commenters is also realized in comment-communication, which does not always depend on the author of the post – the blog owner. The productivity of a dialogue is usually associated with the readiness and ability to adjust to each other. Many important meanings are revealed in the mode of personalized communication. The situation of network communication makes one of the central themes in personalistic thinking relevant – the problem of the Other. A blogger-journalist has a chance to acquire not only a resource of trust from the trans-audience that develops around his blog, but also a new quality of his online personality. In the online comment dialog, many mediaprosumer rediscover their own identity.

Application of Educational Games for Formation and Development of ICT competence of Teachers

The process of developing ICT competence of teacher is not only related to fundamental theoretical knowledge, but also to a wide range of practical professional skills. One of the important means of developing ICT competence of teachers are educational games within the course of their professional development. Educational game is a reproduction of real professional situations. It allows participants to experiment, to develop various actions, to make and to correct mistakes which are unacceptable in real life. The experience of educational games within the course of ICT competence development showed that there is a more intensive exchange of ideas and information, which encourages participants to the creative process.

Transparency increase in global production networks based on multi-method simulation and metamodeling techniques

Operational management of global production networks is challenged by disruptions which result e.g. in order changes, quality problems and engineering changes. Their negative impact on performance may be reduced by a more intensive exchange of information between the network partners. Digitalization offers many new measures for such an increase of transparency. However, the interactions, the optimal level and the realisation of a broader information exchange define a challenging decision problem. This paper improves operational performance of production networks by applying multimethod simulation, statistical experiments and metamodeling techniques to identify a state of information exchange which is robust to disruptions.

Logistics services as an inalienable complex of the electronic commerce

In recent years, e-commerce has been able to penetrate practically in all spheres of life of the population and in Ukraine. The domestic e-commerce market is only at the inception stage, but at the same time it has a significant potential for development. The Internet and related technologies continue to actively and effectively interfere with logistics. Modern logistics technologies are inextricably linked with intensive information exchange. Due to the timely receipt of information, high accuracy, speed and consistency of goods exchange in logistic chains are ensured. Over the past few years, the structure of the logistics space of the Internet has significantly changed, which was reflected in the transformation of the content of logistics-oriented sites. If advertising information dominated previously, now, often in interactive mode, organizational, reference and design services are presented. Business commerce, advertising, production and modern technologies of the Internet are all more vibrant in all strata of human life. Today, the penetration of Internet technologies into business and economics is growing rapidly. The Internet is now – a huge market with a multi-level structure with abyss of opportunities that has an incredible potential for solving problems and business. This penetration also affects logistics. Logistics technologies are unthinkable without intensive information exchange. It is owing to the timely receipt of information that provides high accuracy, speed and consistency of turnover in logistics chains. Therefore, logistics as a modern scientific and practical direction of commodity distribution is also rapidly mastering these technologies and in its own way is equipped on the network. The Internet as a technology of global open networks is the best means to attract a wide range of logistics service users. With the help of this technology can be provided: advertising company; providing a list of services and price lists; account of regular clients and companions; providing consumers with the necessary documents on a paid and free basis; interactive advisory service; counteragent search service; registries of logistics companies and the database of information and logistics resources in the network; electronic freight; monitoring of goods and vehicles; virtual agency and forwarding. Today, the process of accumulation of logistics resources in the Internet has reached a level that allows us to talk about the process of forming virtual logistics centers (commercial or conditional commercial). This, in turn, with further development, can form a single logistics information space on the Internet.
