The development of the concept of the Internet of Things and Internet of Services solutions gave rise to changes in the financial sector, especially in the area of Fintech. The aim of this article is to assess the potential for the development of Fintech solutions in outsourcing and offshoring firms operating in Krakow. The manuscript contains an analysis of a survey conducted among the employees of Krakow’s branches of business services centres carried out in order to determine the relationship between the technological changes that have occurred in companies in the last 5 years and the complexity and uniqueness of the services provided. The results of the analysis show that BSC companies in Krakow have a high potential to develop services in the field of new financial technologies. Research has shown a significant relationship between the technological changes that have occurred in the last 5 years in the BSC sector and the complexity and uniqueness of the services provided by this sector. Research results may be important for public authorities, which should support the development and embedding of BSCs through a number of activities.

Background: Smart buildings are one of the major application areas of technologies bound to embedded systems and the Internet of things. Such systems have to be adaptable and flexible in order to provide better services to its residents. Modelling such systems is an open research question. Herein, the question is approached using an organizational modelling methodology bound to the principles of the learning organization. Objectives: Providing a higher level of abstraction for understanding, developing and maintaining smart residential buildings in a more human understandable form. Methods/Approach: Organization theory provides us with the necessary concepts and methodology to approach complex organizational systems. Results: A set of principles for building learning agent organizations, a formalization of learning processes for agents, a framework for modelling knowledge transfer between agents and the environment, and a tailored organizational structure for smart residential buildings based on Nonaka’s hypertext organizational form. Conclusions: Organization theory is a promising field of research when dealing with complex engineering systems

Smart farming, or smart agriculture, is a way of agricultural development that emphasizes information and communication technologies in networked machinery, equipment and sensors, allowing not only high-tech farm supervision, but also remote control of processes. The goal is to optimize and increase production quality and reduce human labor. Innovative technologies, i.e. the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing and artificial intelligence, are expected to inspire growth, as well as confront current difficulties, i.e. food security and climate change. The use of new technologies also raises some concerns and poses new challenges for farms. This article describes the tools and equipment used in intelligent agriculture, the possibilities for their application, as well as the anticipated challenges that arise when combining innovative technologies with conventional farming operations.

Inteligentne rolnictwo (ang. smart farming, smart agriculture) to sposób rozwoju rolnictwa, który kładzie nacisk na technologie informacyjne i komunikacyjne w maszynach, urządzeniach i czujnikach, co pozwala nie tylko na zaawansowany technologicznie nadzór nad gospodarstwem, ale daje też możliwość zdalnego sterowania procesami i pracami. Celem stosowania tzw. cyfryzacji jest optymalizacja i zwiększenie jakości produkcji, redukcja pracy ludzkiej, redukcja przemysłowych środków produkcji oraz zmniejszenie presji środowiskowej. Przewiduje się, że innowacyjne technologie tj. Internet Rzeczy (IoT), technologie satelitarne, przetwarzanie w chmurze czy sztuczna inteligencja przyczynią się do rozwoju rolnictwa, a także będą sprzyjać bezpieczeństwu żywności i ograniczą zmiany klimatyczne. Zastosowanie nowych technologii budzi również pewne obawy oraz stawia nowe wyzwania rolnikom. W niniejszym artykule opisano narzędzia i urządzenia wykorzystywane w inteligentnym rolnictwie, możliwości ich zastosowania, a także przewidywane wyzwania, które pojawiają się przy łączeniu innowacyjnych technologii z konwencjonalną działalnością rolniczą.

The design of objects requiring human interaction often revolves around methods such as Human Centred Design (HCD). Whilst this is beneficial in many cases, contemporary developments of technology such as the Internet of Things (IoT), which produce assemblages of interactions, lead to the view that human centred approaches can prove problematic leading to the proposal of adopting more-than-human perspectives. This study discusses the creation of a novel board game designed to explore a more-than-human design view for IoT products and services by addressing problematic issues in relation to user data privacy and security within the IoT which arguably arise from the application of traditional HCD approaches. By embracing Object-Oriented Philosophy, The Internet of Things Board Game creates an ontographic mapping of IoT assemblages and illuminates the tiny ontologies of unique interactions occurring within these digital and physical networked spaces. Here the gameplay acts as metaphorism illustrating independent and interdependent relationships between the various ‘things’ in the network. The study illustrates how critical game design can help develop potential new design approaches as well as enabling users to better understand the complex digital/physical assemblages they create when utilising IoT products and services in their everyday lives.

 In recent years, the majority of studies on new technology-related phenomena have focused either on proving the benefits of innovative solutions or on criticizing social costs. The path chosen in the reviewed book Collaborative Society by Dariusz Jemielniak and Aleksandra Przegalinska is to capture a wider cultural shift that is taking place because ICT (Information and Communication Technology) tools allow people to take advantage of their willingness to cooperate. The key thesis is that the collaborative society goes far beyond the sharing economy – or economy in general. New means of digital communication, remix culture and citizen science prove that this shift is transforming social relations and our mutual relations. The authors search for the manifestations of a collaborative society in joint online production and consumption, cooperation of social activists and hacktivism, social production of knowledge, gadgets encouraging cooperation and subversive connection in digital spaces. The future of cooperation is a story about the tension between the new, communal mode of production and its distortion by capitalism. The book is a good summary of the research area and an introduction for anyone looking to explore this topic or participate in a collaborative society.

The following article deals with a novel approach to manufacturing in the context of the increasing demand for system and process integration. This integration chiefly applies to concrete facets of manufacturing tasks which must be taken into consideration in the stage of planning and preparation for complex production processes. Those facets are primarily exemplified by order types (such as production, service and cooperative commissions etc.), production models (e.g. discrete and process modeling), product categorization based on established criteria (e.g. production technology, complexity level, used materials and extras, weight, etc.) as well as many other aspects that hold great significance in the automatization of manufacturing processes. When more advanced orders are to be realized, one of the main challenges posed by this situation is the need to accomplish multiple operations which due to their different nature, scope and scale (e.g. varied processing types: heat and plastic treating, machining etc.) have to be conducted by different contractors. In order to address those key problems and reduce the negative impact of multimodality, the author proposes a manufacturing cloud (also known as cloud manufacturing) which is a variant of a groundbreaking, yet well-established concept - cloud computing. This paper presents the chief notions of this method created specifically with integrated multimodal systems and production processes. The author also highlights key problems that should be addressed before this solution can be used in practice.
