AbstractTechnology-based education of children with special needs has become the focus of many research works in recent years. The wide range of different disabilities that are encompassed by the term “special needs”, together with the educational requirements of the children affected, represent an enormous multidisciplinary challenge for the research community. In this article, we present a systematic literature review of technology-enhanced and game-based learning systems and methods applied on children with special needs. The article analyzes the state-of-the-art of the research in this field by selecting a group of primary studies and answering a set of research questions. Although there are some previous systematic reviews, it is still not clear what the best tools, games or academic subjects (with technology-enhanced, game-based learning) are, out of those that have obtained good results with children with special needs. The 18 articles selected (carefully filtered out of 614 contributions) have been used to reveal the most frequent disabilities, the different technologies used in the prototypes, the number of learning subjects, and the kind of learning games used. The article also summarizes research opportunities identified in the primary studies.

Bibliometric Studies

This article aims to examine the state-of-the-art or the latest developments and achievements in the field of crowdfunding in the context of entrepreneurial finance (CF-EF). For this reason, systematic mapping studies (SMS) and bibliometric studies in the Scopus database are used. The SMS output shows that 69 documents met the inclusion criteria, the start of publication recorded in 2013 and the dominant author from Europe in the Q1 journal. Articles focusing on equity-based crowdfunding (CF) studies as well as articles in the category evaluation paper dominate the document. Furthermore, the bibliometric study output with co-authorship analysis on VOSviewer application shows that the cohesiveness of the authors in publishing CF-EF was reached starting in 2018 and 8 groups of authors' collaboration were identified. Author's collaboration until early 2020 generally exploits equity-based CFs. While donation-based CF, credit-based CF and dedicated-based CF need further exploration. Although relying on one database, this study has revealed a CF-EF map that can be an initial reference for further research to advance CF-EF. Artikel ini bertujuan mengkaji state-of-the-art atau perkembangan dan pencapaian terkini di bidang crowdfunding dalam konteks entrepreneurial finance (CF-EF). Untuk itu, systematic mapping study (SMS) dan bibliometric study pada basis data Scopus digunakan. Output SMS menunjukkan bahwa 69 dokumen memenuhi kriteria inklusi, awal publikasi terdata pada tahun 2013 dan penulis dominan dari Eropa pada jurnal Q1. Artikel dengan fokus kajian equity-based crowdfunding (CF) serta artikel berkategori evaluation paper mendominasi dokumen. Selanjutnya, output bibliometric study dengan analisis co-authorship pada aplikasi VOSviewer menunjukkan bahwa kohesivitas penulis dalam memublikasikan CF-EF tercapai mulai tahun 2018 dan teridentifikasi 8 kelompok kolaborasi penulis. Kolaborasi penulis sampai awal 2020 umumnya mengeksploitasi tentang equity-based CF. Sementara donation-based CF, credit-based CF dan dedicated-based CF perlu eksplorasi lebih lanjut. Walaupun mengandalkan satu basis data, penelitian ini telah mengungkap peta CF-EF yang dapat menjadi rujukan awal penelitian selanjutnya untuk memajukan CF-EF.

The Subject

The objective of this study is to map articles that present models for determining the territory size of Geographical Indications (GIs), a relevant factor for the management of GIs that is poorly explored in studies on the subject. The study was undertaken as a systematic mapping study (SMS), whose main objective is to identify accessible facts about a given research topic, which is also the most suitable approach when aiming to analyze the state of the art of a subject with little evidence available in the literature. Using the Scopus and Web of Science databases, in which 671 results were found, and the StArt tool to select the articles, 652 articles were excluded (30 duplicates and 622 that did not meet the inclusion criteria established in the systematic mapping protocol). Then, after a complete reading of the texts of the 19 remaining articles, 14 were excluded. Thus, this study included only five articles in which GI size models were developed, the oldest of which was published in 2007 and the most recent in 2021. We therefore conclude that few studies are available in the literature on this theme.

Background: The use of chatbots has increased considerably in recent years. These are used in different areas and by a wide variety of users. Due to this fact, it is essential to incorporate usability in their development. Aim: Our objective is to identify the state-of-the-art in chatbot usability and applied human–computer interaction techniques, to analyze how to evaluate chatbot usability. Method: We have conducted a systematic mapping study, by searching the main scientific databases. The search retrieved 170 references and 21 articles were retained as primary studies. Results: The works were categorized according to four criteria: usability techniques, usability characteristics, research methods and type of chatbots. Conclusions: Chatbot usability is still a very incipient field of research where the published studies are mainly surveys, usability tests, and rather informal experimental studies. Hence, it becomes necessary to perform more formal experiments to measure user experience, and exploit these results to provide usability-aware design guidelines.

Big Picture

Software process improvement (SPI) has been around for decades: frameworks are proposed, success factors are studied, and experiences have been reported. However, the sheer mass of concepts, approaches, and standards published over the years overwhelms practitioners as well as researchers. What is out there? Are there new trends and emerging approaches? What are open issues? Still, we struggle to answer these questions about the current state of SPI and related research. In this article, we present results from an updated systematic mapping study to shed light on the field of SPI, to develop a big picture of the state of the art, and to draw conclusions for future research directions. An analysis of 769 publications draws a big picture of SPI-related research of the past quarter-century. Our study shows a high number of solution proposals, experience reports, and secondary studies, but only few theories and models on SPI in general. In particular, standard SPI models like CMMI and ISO/IEC 15,504 are analyzed, enhanced, and evaluated for applicability in practice, but these standards are also critically discussed, e.g., from the perspective of SPI in small-to-medium-sized companies, which leads to new specialized frameworks. New and specialized frameworks account for the majority of the contributions found (approx. 38%). Furthermore, we find a growing interest in success factors (approx. 16%) to aid companies in conducting SPI and in adapting agile principles and practices for SPI (approx. 10%). Beyond these specific topics, the study results also show an increasing interest into secondary studies with the purpose of aggregating and structuring SPI-related knowledge. Finally, the present study helps directing future research by identifying under-researched topics awaiting further investigation.

Android apps are daily installed by billions of users worldwide, who grant access to an extensive set of sensitive personal data. Different techniques have been developed over the years to understand how apps protect or harm their users’ privacy. However, these results have been produced in different research domains and addressing privacy from different perspectives, resulting in a growing but scattered body of knowledge. To bridge this gap, we have carried out a systematic mapping study to provide practitioners and researchers with an overview of the state-of-the-art technique, published between 2016 and 2020, to assess privacy in Android apps. In this paper, we highlight the most relevant findings, identify and analyse the most pressing gaps, and discuss the promising research directions.
