“…In addition, there is an evaluation of its Tools and the mediation through the Rules, the Community, and the history of the context in which it is developed. In this way, some applications of the AT have inspired deep theoretical reflection in a variety of fields like, for example, Psychology, 59,61 Education, [72][73][74] Management, 75 HCI, 25,26 and Information Systems. 29,30 Several researchers recognize that AT is holistically rich in terms of understanding how people do tasks together with the help of sophisticated tools in intricate and dynamic environments, 25,30,63,74,[76][77][78][79][80] which suggests how helpful AT may be for Software design and development.…”

This paper proposes an interdisciplinary approach aimed to bring into practice some novel Software Engineering theoretical paradigms. The premise of these news paradigms is based on the idea of “ecologies” as realities that take place in the environment of a Software product. These “ecologies” are understood as tight but flexible interactions between the human, social, and technical components involved, where Software is just another component. However, the theoretical paradigms discussed do not offer a viable way to make sense of these ecologies into the practice of Software design and development. Thus, as a more operationalized approach, this paper proposes a framework based on Networks of Activities, a concept derived from Activity Theory, as a resource to help in the design, development, and evolution of these new emergent complex socio‐technical ecologies. This framework has been conceived as a tool for the design, capture, and, especially, to analyze the evolution of these ecologies. The concepts and notations used by the proposed approach are illustrated through a proof of concept that shows the essential ideas and their use in real scenarios. In this way, the concepts discussed contribute to the improvement of related fields like Requirements Engineering, Human‐Computer Interaction, or Software Architecture, among others.

“…In this regard, activity theory has inspired deep theoretical reflections in a variety of fields such as, for example, psychology [21], education [22], or management [23]. In terms of software research, activity theory has been applied to proposals in human-computer interaction (HCI) to improve development processes based on activity analysis for design rationalization [24].…”

This paper presents a new interdisciplinary approach to support context modeling in context-awareness software developments. The premise of this approach relies on the idea that understanding a complex socio-technical ecology, while adapting the software to its behavior and evolution, is a primary challenge to address. Thus, the paper proposes an activity theory-based approach to aid in the conception, design, development, and evolution of emerging context-aware socio-technical ecologies. The concepts and notations used by the proposed approach are illustrated through a proof of concept that demonstrates the essential ideas and their use in real scenarios. Also, the feasibility of this approach is measured empirically through an experiment. Preliminary results show how, for a context-aware software design and development team, the proposal provides a better understanding of context than alternatives and helps to outline context models by establishing relationships and interactions between socio-technical components and by anticipating potential conflicts among them. The key ideas of the proposed approach result in the ability to analyze and model social and technological contexts around perpetually evolving system ecologies as useful representations for understanding operating environments closely tied to human actions, with software as a mediator component.

“…Os elementos da teoria são aplicados para categorização da Estrutura Analítica de Riscos (EAR) com o objetivo de auxiliar os gestores na identificação da causa raiz dos riscos e suas interdependências. O dinamismo das atividades nas organizações e a busca por novos produtos e segmentos de mercado, tornam o gerenciamento de projetos uma área cada vez mais complexa [Filippetto et al 2016]. Nesse sentido, o uso de conceitos introduzidos pela computação ubíqua [Barbosa et al 2015], como os históricos de contextos por exemplo, se mostra uma alternativa para auxiliar os gerentes na condução dos projetos.…”

Nos últimos anos observa-se um avanço em direção à globalização dos negócios refletindo-se na área de sistemas de informação. O desenvolvimento distribuído de software (DDS) surge como uma alternativa que proporciona presença global às empresas, aproximando suas equipes dessa nova realidade. O DDS se beneficia por comportar equipes localizadas em diferentes locais geográficos, mas pode também contribuir para maior ocorrência de riscos em projetos, devido à maior complexidade de coordenação e comunicação entre os seus integrantes. O gerenciamento adequado dos riscos, através da análise dos históricos dos projetos desenvolvidos, reduz o risco quanto a desvios do planejamento em relação a tempo, custo e qualidade do projeto. Entendendo os benefícios da prática correta da disciplina de gestão de riscos, este artigo propõe um modelo, intitulado Átropos, para auxiliar as equipes a identificar e acompanhar riscos em diferentes momentos do ciclo de vida dos projetos. A avaliação do trabalho foi conduzida através de um estudo de caso em uma equipe distribuída de software, com o uso de uma base de dados histórica de projetos, com 463 projetos desenvolvidos durante os anos de 2017 e 2018.
