Research paper thumbnail of Central Bank Digital Currencies: The Advent of Its It Governance in the Financial Markets

CBDCs are supported by Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs), and they may allow a universal means of payments for the digital era. There are many ways to proceed, they all require central banks to develop technological expertise. Considering these points, it is important to understand the new IT governance in the financial markets due to CBDC and digital economy. Information Technology is an essential driver that will allow the new financial industry design. This paper has the objective to answer two questions through an updated Systematic Literature Review (SLR). The first question is What IT resources and tools have been considered or applied to set the governance of CBDC adoption? The second; Identify IT governance models in the financial market due to CBDC adoption. Bank for International Settlements (BIS) publications, Scopus and Web of Science were considered as sources of studies. After the strings and including criteria were applied, fourteen papers were analyzed. This paper finds many IT resources used in the CBDC adoption and some preliminary IT design related to the IT governance of CBDC, in the results and discussion section the findings are more detailed. Finally, limitations and future work are considered.

Every cryptocurrency must have an associated Blockchain. Blockchain is a Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) which supports cryptocurrencies, this may be considered as the most promising disruptive technology in the industry 4.0 context. Decentralized finance (DeFi) is a Blockchain-based financial infrastructure, the term generally refers to an open, permissionless, and highly interoperable protocol stack built on public smart contract platforms, such as the Ethereum Blockchain. It replicates existing financial services in a more open and transparent way. DeFi does not rely on intermediaries and centralized institutions. Instead, it is based on open protocols and decentralized applications (Dapps). Considering that there are many digital coins, stablecoins and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), these currencies should interact among each other sometime. For this interaction the Information Technology elements play an important whole as enablers and IT strategic alignment. This paper considers the strategic alignment model proposed by Henderson and Venkatraman (1993) and Luftman (1996). This paper seeks to answer two main questions 1) What are the common IT elements in the DeFi? And 2) How the elements connect to the IT strategic alignment in DeFi? Through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Results point out that there are many IT elements already mentioned by literature, however there is a lack in the literature about the connection between IT elements and IT strategic alignment in a Decentralized Finance (DeFi) architectural network. After final considerations, limitations and future research agenda are presented.

This paper is structured mostly on literature review, accompanied by results, discussions, and finally, conclusions are presented. It was found five potential enabling factors. The fourth industrial revolution promotes the integration of Information Technology (IT) and strategic resources. New IT demands and uses have been leading to changes in business processes and corporate governance. Better understanding of the IT enabling factors in the cashless economy.

This paper introduces a framework aiming at enabling modelling tools to represent, manipulate and reason over OWL ontologies represented in different visual languages, such as UML, EER or ORM 2, based on a previously developed theoretical metamodel. We describe the framework and define a methodology to exploit it, in order to make visual independence a reality. Finally, we present case studies on realistic ontologies to show the applicability of our approach.

This has been possible thanks to the standardisation of ontology languages and the subsequent development of tools and infrastructure to manipulate ontologies in such languages. However, in spite of the fact that nowadays reasoning systems are integrated into a huge range of these tools, their use for enhancing automated tasks in ontology engineering processes has not been fully explored in depth, particularly in closing the gap between graphical and formal representations of ontologies. In this work we detail two scenarios in which it is possible to take advantages of automated reasoning in this sense. The first scenario deals with the problem of tool interoperability, and the second analyses how to obtain non-trivial graphical inferences.

Tools are essential in understanding models and generating explicit, better usable and communicable knowledge. In this respect, we introduce a knowledge visualisation process for the integration of visual representations, logic-based reasoning and metamodelling for interoperability of languages. The intention behind this work is to offer a trade-off between these dimensions in the context of a semantics-aware tool. We provide means to stimulate interest in such tools for designing both conceptual models and ontologies based on the effectiveness of graphical modelling languages for expressing them.

En Argentina convergen varias iniciativas promovidas por las Universidades, Program.ar y el Programa Nacional Conectar Igualdad que buscan mejorar la aproximación de las Ciencias de la Computación a la escuela secundaria. La incorporación de forma sostenible y rigurosa de la enseñanza de las Ciencias de la Computación en la educación secundaria es aún un proceso en desarrollo en la mayoría de los países. En este trabajo se presenta una Línea de Investigación que busca avanzar en la definición de modelos y enfoques metodológicos que impacten positivamente en los procesos de aproximación de las Ciencias de la Computación a la escuela secundaria. Se presta especial atención a la innovación a partir de la integración de recursos didáctico disciplinares como robótica educativa y programación tangible.
