However, after sharing a question, its author has no guarantee if he will receive an answer, neither when. Recent studies have found that low quality is one of the top reasons why questions remain unanswered. In this work, we conducted a qualitative study aiming identifying what programmers are looking in a question that they decide to answer. Based on this feedback, we designed a tool to help programmers to write high quality questions. We named the app Questions’ Advisor, due his role of helping but without forcing the user to follow it, and it is available for desktop and mobile clients. We believe it could be very helpful, especially for novice programmers.

In face to this question it is important a mechanism to integrate the user profiles. Through the integration of user profiles it is possible identifier more accurately their interests analyzing other data sources that they are present, possible reducing the cold-start problem. In this context, we present a semantic approach to help integrate data from multiple sources, for the construction and maintenance of user profiles that will be used to improve the quality of a recommender system. To integrate data from multiple sources, we defined a heuristic that quantifies the importance of each data source for a given user. To validate our approach, we perform a case study, where the solution was coupled into a recommender system of papers focused in Software Engineering domain.

However, the popular method of sharing public questions could be optimized by directing the question to an expert, a process called query routing. In this work, we propose a Social Query System for query routing on Twitter, currently, one of the most popular social networks. The Social Query Systems analyzes the information about the questioner’s followers and recommends the most suitable users to answer the questions. The use of the system changes the usual process, working apart of Twitter and allowing questioner and responder exceed the limit of 140 characters. Through a qualitative evaluation, we showed promising results and ideas for improving the system and the recommendation

Over the years, this concern has gained the attention of the academia. Since we conducted this study during the biggest conference of the computing community, we were able to hear the opinion of people from all regions of Brazil. In this study, we summarize our analysis over the interviews. We found that women and men share similar thoughts about what causes this phenomenon and why the presence of more women is important in this field.

In Brazil, as opposed to the USA and Europe, the first classes semester usually starts in middle March and ends in middle July, but due to the pandemic situation that affected hardly the country, classes were suspended in many states in the middle of March, and in some cases, only returned in September or October, on an online format. To understand how students experienced this time without classes, a survey was applied to undergraduate students with questions about their feelings, their hardware and internet resources conditions to come back to classes remotely, and if they lived in the same city where the educational institution where they studied was located. With this information, it was possible to have a panorama of how the students felt during the time that classes were suspended, their state of minds to classes restart, ...

However, the usual strategy of broadcasting questions could be optimized. In this work, we propose a Social Query mobile app to assist users sharing their questions on Facebook. Before publishing the question, the app will guide the user through some steps to enhance the probability of getting an answer by someone. It is a tool to help the users phrasing their problems, restrict the social search to a certain demographic group and find people to help them. As far as we know, this is the first work to merge these three aspects of the social search. To validate our proposal, we run a questionnaire so that people could value what we are offering, and we received great feedback. Keywords-social query; social search; query routing; expertise finding; Facebook; system.

One important factor that might contribute to increase the chance to receive answers is to attract others’ attention. To investigate this issue, we asked programmers about what they expect to find in “good” programming questions and end up with a list of sixteen suggestions on how to improve programming questions. However, we found the presence of more “good” characteristics correlates with none of question’s performance attributes (views, time for first response and number of answers). This means that, after being shared, other features not necessarily related with the “question form” have more influence in what happen with your question than the presence of these so called “good” characteristics. The experimental results were presented, providing a useful insight to go further in this investigation on social query.

To enable its operation, it defines and adopts hundreds of organizational processes described by resolutions proposed and approved by its various superior boards. However, unfortunately, the reality is that many employees do not know how the institute works and see everything as complex and unnecessary bureaucracy. This leads to more work and delays due to petitions that are unclear and are missing information. To mitigate this problem, in this paper, we are proposing an app that will concentrate information, in a colloquial language, about petitions, such as regulation and mandatory attachments, as well as create a new communication channel by grouping, in a virtual community, employees from the same Campus. We presented our prototype to some course coordinators and directors and they agreed about the importance of the app to improve the current workflows from the institute and to educate the community.

To build the user profiles, we use a Brazilian academic platform called CV-Lattes. Furthermore, we examine some issues related to user profiling, such as (i) we define and compare different strategies to build and represent the user profiles, using terms and using concepts; (ii) we verify how much past information of a user is required to provide good recommendations; (iii) we compare our approaches with the state-of-art in paper recommendation using the CV-Lattes. To validate our strategies, we conduct a user study experiment involving 30 users in the Computer Science domain. Our results show that (i) our approaches outperform the state-of-art in CV-Lattes; (ii) concepts profiles are comparable with the terms profiles; (iii) analyzing the content of the past four years for terms profiles and five years for concepts prof...

To enable its operation, it defines and adopts hundreds of organizational processes described by resolutions proposed and approved by its various superior boards. However, unfortunately, the reality is that many employees do not know how the institute works and see everything as complex and unnecessary bureaucracy that leads to more work and delays due to petitions with problems, such as being unclear, or it is missing information. We conducted a survey to identify how employees of IFPB react when they need to make a petition and to measure the current state of Knowledge Management (KM) practices in this unit. Our results suggest that most of employees do not know how every type of petition works, they prefer to use the Village Paradigm to find information, and they believe that IFPB does not promotes KM practices.

In Brazil, the suspension occurred at the beginning of the educational year, that start in March. This situation lasts for the entire first semester, leading institutions to move to online classes and changing the educational calendar for the next years. The reality of online classes leads to a discussion of a new pedagogical work, where the students and educators should understand how to deal with online learning and take most of the online tools. To achieve this is necessary to understand how students felt during the suspension of presential classes, the resources, and motivation that they have to continue to study. This work proposes a survey that measures three different components that can affect students in return of the online classes: resources that they have to study, feelings experienced during the suspension of the classes, and if they live in the city where they study. This survey was applied to an educational campus that attracts many students from other cities due to the quality of the education provided.

Entretanto, essa mesma preocupação não foi observada no que diz respeito a favorecer a permanência desses alunos nesses sistemas. A área de Tecnologia da Informação é uma das que mais necessita de mão de obra e para atender as demandas do mercado é necessária a formação de profissionais qualificados. Contudo, essa mesma área apresenta uma taxa elevada de evasão. Dessa forma, objetivando incentivar a permanência de estudantes, o presente estudo pretende traçar uma comparação entre as características de alunos que evadiram de um curso dessa área e os alunos que lograram êxito e concluíram o mesmo curso. Os resultados demonstram a transformação social e profissional pela qual os egressos passaram, bem como delineia possíveis razões que podem ter contribuído na evasão dos ex-alunos.
