        1 - Semiautomatic Creation of Enterprise Mashups Using Semantic Descriptions

        Mashups are next generation of web applications. A mashup is a lightweight web application that is created by combining information or capabilities from more than one existing resources to deliver a new and integrated experience to the user. Mashups introduce a new class of integration techniques in enterprises for implementing situational applications (i.e. applications that come together to solve an immediate, transient and specific business problem). In a dynamic, complex and competitive enterprise environment, it is impossible to predict and create all the future integrated applications. Enterprise mashups as a simple and quick solution helps small teams and individuals in an organization with limited knowledge in programming to create their desired integrated applications by combining and reusing internal resources of organization with resources published on the Internet. Currently there are many tools proposed by different software vendors to facilitate creating enterprise mashups. Although these tools facilitate creating enterprise mashups to some extent but still needs the mashup end-user to have some experiences in web technologies, information security and data structures of mashup components. Furthermore, the generated mashup is dependent on its components, so change or replacing a component is a complex and time-consuming task. This issue will be exacerbated in enterprise mashups that are created by knowledge workers. In this research, we aim to make creation of enterprise mashups semi-automatically by combining SOA (Service- Oriented Architecture), Semantic Web and Web 2.0 technologies. In addition, we propose a novel annotation mechanism to apply semantic descriptions and enterprise policies to the generated mashup. Manuscript profile

        Today, organizations are in a dynamic and competitive environment and increasingly need for bolstering up their innovation capabilities by attention to valuable knowledge and power ofcreation and use of it. Knowledge management is very important in any organization, because organizational innovation does not evolve without dynamic and collaborative knowledge management. Traditional knowledge management systems have been trying to capture formal explicit knowledge management. They could not be successfull in unlocking tacit (implicit) knowledge in the minds of employees. Today, knowledge management 2.0 is based on web 2.0 with enphasis on socialization, collaboration and interaction between people. It tries to capture the largest and most valuable distributed database in any organization, implicit knowledge that is stored in the mind of employees. Each organization which is based on knowledge management 2.0 and social capital, is called an organization 2.0 (enterprise 2.0). It obliterates official controlling and hierarchical order and focuses on socialization and collaboration of mass employees for organizational innovation through social networks. This paper tries to introduce implications of web 2.0 on organizational transforming arising by creation of knowledge management 2.0 in organization 2.0. It assists managers in understanding the leverage roll of social knowledge for development of organizational innovation. Manuscript profile

        In recent years crowdfunding is created as a web 2.0 and social network -based on financing for business startups and creative projects. This method has grown in many aspects, such as the number of platforms, the number of campaigns and their success rate, the volume of funding and the number of models offered. This growth has led researchers to investigate this phenomenon of the different dimensions and aspects. So this article is followed by a comprehensive review of the literature associated with this method. In this study, we have done a systematic review of 60 published articles until 2017 about the concept of crowdfunding. The research findings have been summarized. Moreover, the research orientation pattern has been determined by identifying the focus of great attention. Also the existing research gaps and suggestions for future research in the field of crowdfunding identified and explained. The results of the survey showed that the number of studies carried out on this new method are not very high but are increasing. It is necessary for the researchers to study this method (phenomenon) with a comprehensive and holism approach, using a review of the views of its various actors, stackholders and costumers and extracting the factors influencing the success and failure of this method.

        The current research aimed to offer a conceptual framework for utilization of social software in e-learning process management. In this research, after reviewing the relevant literature, social software were identified based on their relevancy with subject and frequency of usage and an initial conceptual framework was offered based on the application of social software in each stage of e-learning process management and the validity of proposed framework was surveyed by polling experts. This is an applied research in which descriptive survey was used as the data collecting method. Eight Web 2.0 applications including Blog, Wiki, Social Networks, RSS, Podcast, Mesh-up, Social Bookmarking and IM were identified, with reviewing the literature. The findings resulted from the analysis of the data collected from experts showed that in e-learning process planning, three Web 2.0 applications including Wiki, Social Networks and Social Bookmarking, in e-learning process control, four Web 2.0 applications including Social Networks, RSS, Social Bookmarking and IM, and in e-learning process organizing and improvement, all identified Web 2.0 applications were respectively verified from the application viewpoint.

        Today, organizations including academic centers face many changes and challenges. Among these changes is the emergence of emerging technologies. Thus, lack of awareness of the emergence and strategic application aspects of existing technologies can lead organizations to irreversible crises. Among these technologies are Web 2.0 tools that have been the focus of this research. The purpose of this study was to identify the functions of Web 2.0 tools in human resource professional development. Therefore, this study has reviewed 22 articles in a systematic review of the literature and qualitative content analysis technique among the sources collected from the Scopus Scientific Database. The findings suggest that Web 2.0 technology has four major functions: strategies change of human resources learning process, strategies change of human resource knowledge management, strategies change of human resource interactions and communications, and strategies change of HR development perspectives in organizations. Also service provider organizations including educational, medical, and librarians were leading in using such tools for their employees' professional development processes. Finally, a conceptual framework for the function of Web 2.0 tools in the professional development of human resources in organizations is presented. Finally, the present study emphasizes the interaction of researchers and human resource development experts in universities and organizations. Human resource development experts are aware of the existence such tools and technologies in the course of learning and professional development of human resources and take steps to apply them.
