Abstract
Literature posits that most data and research on E-Government dominantly focuses on large economies where social, political, organizational and economic aspects of these local contexts significantly differ from other parts of the world. One such part is the group of island states specifically referred to as Small Islands Developing States (SIDS), sharing common challenges of reduced size, diseconomies of scale, impact of climate changes and other challenges. E-Government models should be adapted to local context, and for SIDS this entails understanding the local context so as to formulate a sustainable model. Even though we find studies and models for SIDS, significant differences exists among SIDS that warrant individual approaches. An example of a SIDS is Sao Tome and Principe, where the government is involved in E-Government initiatives. This is visible at the Ministry of Finance where different interacting Departments have developed systems and software tools to manage business processes. These systems and tools are used for interactions internally and with public and private sectors. However, for implementation, there is a lack of a centralized, interoperable vision or directive. Consequences are high total cost of ownership, subsequent costs with interoperability and maintenance, and, in the end, deficient long-term sustainability. Considering the impact of costs of information technology initiatives to the public budget, financed in its majority by development and bilateral assistance, there is a need for an E-Government model that prescribes directives for a sound, interoperable and sustainable E-Government implementation. We propose the development of E-GovSTP, a framework/model that intends to combine technical considerations and aspects of the local context to formulate guidelines for E-Government implementations in the Ministry of Finance. This artifact shall be developed through sound theoretical foundation, application of established standards and guidelines to areas of privacy and security, interoperability and system and communications. Additionally, the fundamental aspects of the local context (political, social and organizational) shall be factored into the model in order to guarantee the sustainability having in mind existing technical, material and financial constrains the country faces.

Abstract
The Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO) model has been a trend in recent decades, becoming the dominant trend in contemporary outsourcing scenario. Millennials will soon, globally, be the majority of the workforce, having a particular way of relating to organizations and to work itself as no previous generation did. Information technologies continue to employ more and more human resources, having an increasing demand and a shortage of competent resources. It is therefore important to rethink current Human Resources Management (HRM) models and design a new strategic and appropriate model to accommodate and anticipate the needs of managers and monitor the development of this generation as Information Technology (IT) professionals. The intersection and analysis of the Information and Communications Technologies (ICT), millennials, Human Resource Management, outsourcing and organizations is the objective of this study, to identify the most relevant articles regarding millennials as outsourced IT professionals.

Abstract
In face of the continuously growing process of the fourth industrial revolution, the industries are forced to innovate their industrial manufacturing process to remain competitive and active in the market, perfecting the manufacturing process through new interconnected and autonomous technologies. Since time reduction, quality enhancement and cost reduction for manufacturing of industrial products are the major catalysts of a successful company for the current Era called Maintenance 4.0, this paper proposes to illustrate an Information Systems Architecture where, using the Viable Systems Model, it is possible to perform automatic adjustments in the subsystems related to Cyber-Physical Systems and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) within the Digital Manufacturing model and, in addition, to mitigate machine failures through predictive analyzes of massive volumes of data using algorithms with intelligent functions and Data Mining (DM) in order to automatically stabilize the entire system chain quickly and efficiently. © 2019 IEEE.

Abstract
The current context of organizations has meant that their business models have been continually evolving, creating opportunities for technological innovations. Business strategies become a significant challenge, mainly if organizations are small or medium-sized, with all the constraints typically associated with them. The most used digital transformation frameworks are centered on large organizations and those that until now have been proposed for application in smaller organizations present some questions. In this article, a new methodology proposal, SimpliSMEEA, is presented and its application to a specific company is described and evaluated. © Atas da Conferencia da Associacao Portuguesa de Sistemas de Informacao 2020.

Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) represents a technical innovation that is already starting to play an important role in smarter water management, when a wide variety of sensors are incorporated into intelligent metering equipment and connected through wireless networks throughout the domiciliary water distribution network, being able to measure volume, flow, temperature, pressure, levels of chlorine, salinity and more. Water scarcity, aging or inadequate water distribution infrastructure, population variation, pollution, more intense and frequent droughts and floods, generate pressures that converge on the need to increase global investment in water infrastructures and to develop solutions for the conservation and management of water. The main stakeholders in the water distribution sector are the ones that can benefit most from the use of telemanagement. However, the results of adopting this innovation are contrary to expectations, with a slow change in traditional business models. The objective of this research is the construction of a value model that allows the identification of actors and value markets and the exchange of value related to the adoption of telemanagement in Portugal, having a solid theoretical basis and a real practical validation.

Abstract
In this article, we address the problem of virtual communities, proposing a basket of products' self-determination model, where the community determines what it is interested to buy and, in some situations, when. In this way, instead of letting a brand or product create the need or desire of the users in the community to buy, it will be the community, through a network effect, to self-influence the user, in order to define what intends to buy reaffirming, also, in this way its identity. This article proposes a conceptual model to be implemented toward a future Case Study research, with a structure within a network capable of influencing itself where members, who share the same interests, can define a basket of products and services and thus reaffirm and evolve their identity.
