The European Commission has recently adopted the Renovation Wave Strategy, aiming at the improvement of the energy performance of buildings. The strategy aims to at least double renovation rates in the next ten years and make sure that renovations lead to higher energy and resource efficiency. The choice of appropriate thermal insulation materials is one of the simplest and, at the same time, the most popular strategies that effectively reduce the energy demand of buildings. Today, the spectrum of insulation materials is quite wide, and each material has its own specific characteristics. It is recognized that the selection of materials is one of the most challenging and difficult steps of a building project. This paper aims to give an in-depth view of existing multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) applications for the selection of insulation materials and to provide major insights in order to simplify the process of methods and criteria selection for future research. A systematic literature review is performed based on the Search, Appraisal, Synthesis and Analysis (SALSA) framework and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. In order to determine which MCDM method is the most appropriate for different questions, the main advantages and disadvantages of different methods are provided.

The main purpose of the article is to identify the state of knowledge between two multidimensional phenomena: commercialization of innovation and internationalization. In terms of research methods, a systematic literature review, based on the 91 publications located in reputable scientific databases (Scopus and Web of Science) between the years 2000–2017 and Rapid Automatic Keyword Extraction (RAKE), was applied. The main findings provide information on the concept of commercialization of innovations via internationalization, and specifically on different research perspectives and areas of analysis with division of the bibliometric data. The selection of the articles for further analysis is perceived as the main limitation of this study, as some papers may not have been included due to missing keywords or due to having been absent from the two selected databases. The article analyses theoretical research and empirical papers and enables identification of problems in the current research as well as identifying trends in the area of the studied phenomenon. The results on the topic of commercialization of innovation through internationalization have indicated that this issue is still in a premature phase but with an upward trend of research development.

This article investigates the individual competences of project managers through a methodological approach that combines a systematic literature review and an analysis of employment opportunities. A comparative analysis of project manager’s competences from the literature and the job advertisements was done. The systematic literature review was the first stage of the research and consisted of adopting methods of bibliometrics and content analysis. The second stage included an analysis of project managers’ competences in the selection process. Thus, five Brazilian recruitment websites and the selection of employees were investigated. Through literature review, it was possible to classify and code competences in four categories (contextual, managerial, technical, and behavioral). The analysis of job advertisements allowed us to identify core competence requirements in the job descriptions and to develop a project manager profile expected by Brazilian organizations.

Ranking is a sensational problem since a long time in many research areas. The authors here tried to use a novel ranking approach to find out most popular research interest among all the research interests within a stream. The authors have assumed that the selection of a research area is a tedious task among all the new researchers and tried to propose a mechanism to solve such kind of task. Systematic Literature Review (SLR), Google based searching to find sample; and mean have been used in this approach. Proposed mechanism called METHWORK (Methodology With the Opted Related Keywords) that is tested in a case of ranking of research trends within the IoET (Internet of Environmental Things). To find a ranking, approach uses the popularity of the topic within the researches on the basis of articles published. To find out the correctness of the ranking given by METHWORK, the authors have performed Chi2-test hypothesis testing while they have made a comparison with other existing ranking techniques. The methodology proposed will be a milestone to find out the research trends within a wide research area.

Abstract Objectives Manual systematic literature reviews are becoming increasingly challenging due to the sharp rise in publications. The primary objective of this literature review was to compare manual and computer software using artificial intelligence retrieval of publications on the cutaneous manifestations of primary SS, but we also evaluated the prevalence of cutaneous manifestations in primary SS. Methods We compared manual searching and searching with the in-house computer software BIbliography BOT (BIBOT) designed for article retrieval and analysis. Both methods were used for a systematic literature review on a complex topic, i.e. the cutaneous manifestations of primary SS. Reproducibility was estimated by computing Cohen’s κ coefficients and was interpreted as follows: slight, 0–0.20; fair, 0.21–0.40; moderate, 0.41–0.60; substantial, 0.61–0.80; and almost perfect, 0.81–1. Results The manual search retrieved 855 articles and BIBOT 1042 articles. In all, 202 articles were then selected by applying exclusion criteria. Among them, 155 were retrieved by both methods, 33 by manual search only, and 14 by BIBOT only. Reliability (κ = 0.84) was almost perfect. Further selection was performed by reading the 202 articles. Cohort sizes and the nature and prevalence of cutaneous manifestations varied across publications. In all, we found 52 cutaneous manifestations reported in primary SS patients. The most described ones were cutaneous vasculitis (561 patients), xerosis (651 patients) and annular erythema (215 patients). Conclusion Among the final selection of 202 articles, 155/202 (77%) were found by the two methods but BIBOT was faster and automatically classified the articles in a chart. Combining the two methods retrieved the largest number of publications.

Authentication is the process of verifying a user’s identity for them to access a system’s resources. An authentication factor is a piece of information used for this authentication. Three well-known groups of authentication factors exist: knowledge-based (what you know), possession-based (what you have) and inherence-based (what you are). Authentication schemes belonging to distinct authentication factors can be combined in a multi-factor manner to increase security. Although multiple multi-factor proposals are seen in literature, the absence of a method that allows a proper comparison and selection of these authentication methods, based on an application’s security requirements, can be observed. Existing frameworks for the analysis of authentication methods have been identified through the realization of a systematic literature review, but most of these focus on specific contexts and do not provide a generic enough solution. Due to the above, this research focuses on the creation of a recommendation framework that guides in the comparison and selection of single and multi-factor authentication schemes, considering both the application’s requirements and its context. This has been attained not only through the knowledge found in literature, but the experience from industry experts has been compiled as well through the collaboration with a multinational software development company. Consequently, the knowledge found in literature has been obtained from a systematic literature review, whereas the experience from industry experts was obtained through a survey and interviews. The framework proposal has been generated based on the above and has been validated through an expert panel and a case study methodology in collaboration with the partnered software development company. A tool prototype has been constructed as well. The result is a recommendation framework for the comparison and selection of authentication methods that can support this decision process in multiple contexts.
