Abstract
The decline in student attendance and engagement in Higher Education (HE) is a pressing concern for educational institutions worldwide. Traditional lecture-style teaching is no longer effective, and students often become disinterested and miss classes, impeding their academic progress. While Gamification has improved learning outcomes, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionise the educational experience. The combination of AI and Gamification offers numerous research opportunities and paves the way for updated academic approaches to increase student engagement and attendance. Extensive research has been conducted to uncover the correlation between student attendance and engagement in HE. Studies consistently reveal that regular attendance leads to better academic performance. On the other hand, absenteeism can lead to disengagement and poor academic performance, stunting a student's growth and success. This position paper proposes integrating Gamification and AI to improve attendance and engagement. The approach involves incorporating game-like elements into the learning process to make it more interactive and rewarding. AI-powered tools can track student progress and provide personalised feedback, motivating students to stay engaged. This approach fosters a more engaging and fruitful educational journey, leading to better learning outcomes. This position paper will inspire further research in AI-Gamification integration, leading to innovative teaching methods that enhance student engagement and attendance in HE.

Abstract
The speed and scale of technological change are raising concerns about the extent to which new technologies will radically transform workplaces. Competition for the best talent is being intensified, and talent management requires new approaches and innovative strategies for developing talent based on corporate culture and its unique properties. By implementing and adopting technology in Human Resources Management (HRM), organizations create a digital employee lifecycle that spans from the initial Hiring Process to encompassing areas such as Performance Management, Learning and Development until the Offboarding, shaping a Talent Management journey. Despite the implementation of technologies being a continuous practice observed in numerous organizations, there are still challenges. The HRM technological market has become massive, and concerns arise about adopting these technologies' costs, practicality, and purpose. Because of that, designing strategies for implementing technologies in HRM, specifically in talent management, is hard to overview. In this context, this document aims to present the necessity and significance in developing a framework that aggregates the implementation process of technologies in talent management supported by Design Science Research (DSR). The holistic perspective of the forthcoming framework consolidates insights into business challenges and their correlation with technology selection, technological capabilities, implementation procedures, as well as anticipated metrics and their impact.

Abstract
This systematic literature review investigates the factors influencing cloud computing adoption within both educational and organizational settings. By synthesizing a comprehensive body of research, this study finds and analyzes the determinants that shape the decision-making process about cloud technology adoption. Security, cost-effectiveness, scalability, interoperability, and regulatory compliance are examined across educational institutions and organizational contexts. Additionally, socio-economic, political, and technological factors specific to each context are explored to provide a nuanced understanding of the challenges and opportunities associated with cloud computing adoption. The review reveals commonalities and differences in adoption drivers and barriers between education and organizational environments, offering insights into tailored strategies for effective implementation. This research contributes to the existing literature by shedding light on the multifaceted nature of cloud adoption and offering valuable guidance for educators, organizational leaders, policymakers, and technology providers looking to use cloud computing to enhance operations and services.

Abstract
Knowledge of Social Engineering is crucial to prevent potential attacks related to organizational Information Security. The objective of this paper aims to identify the most common social engineering techniques, success attack factors, and obstacles, as well as the good practices and frameworks that could be adopted concerning their mitigation. As an analysis methodology, a Systematic Literature Review was carried out. The findings revealed that the discussion about SE attacks has increased and that the most imminent threat is phishing. Exploiting human vulnerabilities is a growing threat when the attack is not carried out directly through technical means. There continue to be more technical attacks than non-technical attacks. Encouraging organizational security prevention, like training, education, technical controls, process development, defense in detail, and the development of security policies, should be considered mitigating factors for the negative impact of SE attacks. Most SE frameworks/models are focused on attack techniques and methods, mostly on technical components, decorating human factor. As a novelty, we found the opportunity to develop a new framework that could improve coverage of the gaps found, supported on security international standards, that could help and support researchers in developing their work, understanding open research topics, and providing a clearer understanding of this type of threat. © 2024 by the authors.

Abstract
Educational chatbots are digital tools designed to assist learners in various educational settings. These chatbots use natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning algorithms to simulate human conversation and respond to user queries in a way that facilitates learning. They can be integrated into various educational platforms such as learning management systems, educational apps, and websites to provide learners with a personalized and interactive learning experience. Our paper discusses different scenarios for educational purposes and suggests in total four scenarios for educational needs.

Abstract
Cybercrime is growing rapidly, and it is increasingly important to use advanced tools to combat it and support investigations. One of the battlefronts is the forensic investigation of mobile devices to analyze their misuse and recover information. Mobile devices present numerous challenges, including a rapidly changing environment, increasing diversity, and integration with the cloud/IoT. Therefore, it is essential to have a secure and reliable toolbox that allows an investigator to thwart, discover, and solve all problems related to mobile forensics while deciphering investigations, whether criminal, civil, corporate, or other. In this work, we propose an original and innovative instantiation of a structure in a forensic toolbox for mobile devices, corresponding to a set of different applications, methods, and best practice information aimed at improving and perfecting the investigative process of a digital investigator. To ensure scientific support for the construction of the toolbox, the Design Science Research (DSR) methodology was applied, which seeks to create new and unique artifacts, drawing on the strength and knowledge of science and context. The toolbox will help the forensic investigator overcome some of the challenges related to mobile devices, namely the lack of guidance, documentation, knowledge, and the ability to keep up with the fast-paced environment that characterizes the mobile industry and market. © 2024 by the authors.
