	abstract = {The objective of this work is to investigate the potential benefits of using social media in education. A thorough examination of a large set of these online tools has revealed that social media have many educational advantages. In fact, it has been found out that these web-based applications can improve communication among students and between teachers and students. Thanks to these technologies, both teachers and students can interact with each other in a matter of seconds. Social media can also be used to promote students{\textquoteright} engagement. Students who often complain of being intimidated or bored in the classroom may feel comfortable to express their creativity and voice their opinion on a social network website. Another finding of this study is that social media applications foster collaboration as they allow students to work together to achieve a common goal. Given these educational benefits, we recommend that these online social tools should be used in learning environments. [ABSTRACT},

	abstract = {Public administration has to prepare itself to deliver fully integrated eGovernment services. This delivery often requires cooperation via business processes interoperability across two or more departments. In this context, public departments and agencies need to implement interoperability using enterprise architecture techniques to structure business processes, and service oriented models to achieve their integration. Thus, it{\textquoteright}s quite interesting to adopt enterprise architecture paradigm and techniques to analyse, track and control the evolution degree of processes interoperability from the existing "as-is" state to the future "to-be" state. The present paper proposes a periodic monitoring approach based on an assessment method which considers three main aspects of interoperation: 1. Potentiality, reflecting the preparation to interoperate. The objective is to foster interoperation readiness by eliminating barriers that may obstruct the interaction. 2. Compatibility, referring to int},
