- Towards an information system for social value creationPublication . Nascimento, João; Barradas, Luís Cláudio; Martins, LuísPurpose: This research is scoped in the Project “VOLTO JÁ: PROGRAMA DE INTERCÂMBIO SÉNIOR” and objects the development of an Information System, which aims to support the social business model of the Project. Design/methodology/approach: This research is conceived according to the Design Science framework in Information Systems. The Design Cycle is concerned with the development of a software artefact and an instantiation that will operationalise the VOLTO JÁ Business Model in a real scenario of elderly mobility, aiming to assess the utility, efficiency and quality of the artefact in order to achieve the goals of the project. The design of the software artefact was guided by the Dynamic Systems Development Method framework. This work encompasses only the Business study, the functional model iteration, and implementation iteration. The Business study comprised the definition of the Business Process Model and the requirements management: (1) the requirement elicitation; (2) specification and (3) validation. The Information System being developed comprises a Web platform and a Mobile application, structured on a multi-layered architecture of six layers. The Web platform is being developed with the Yii framework 2.0. The PhoneGap and Nativescript frameworks are under consideration for the development of the Mobile application. Findings: The software artefact is already on the development stage. The proposed software architecture has already been validated and some of the business processes are already supported. Originality/value: As far as we know, there are no other similar projects to compare to. We might remotely compare our project to with Travel 2.0 systems, such as Booking.com. However, we are focused on a very specific target with peculiarities that these systems are not prepared to deal with. This attests to the relevance and uniqueness of our proposal.
- Developing an information system for social value creationPublication . Barradas, Luís Cláudio; Nascimento, João; Martins, Luís; Bernardes De Oliveira, Sandra Margarida; Leal, Susana; Vivas, C.; São João, RicardoThis paper presents a proposal for an Information System (IS) to operationalise a social business model to promote active ageing and create social value. The aim of the IS is to support a senior social exchange programme grounded on Travel 2.0 concepts in social economy organisations that seeks to promote tourism experiences for the elderly and underlying active ageing. The design of the IS was guided by the Dynamic Systems Development Method framework and considers a set of identified requirements and the specific needs of each stakeholder. Since the product is intended to be used by a heterogeneous group of users from distant geographic places, the resulting software artefact should be sensitive to these conditions.
