  • Chapter
Integrated Systems: Innovations and Applications

Abstract

Emerging technologies such as Big Data and Cloud Computing in the field of information technology imposes further needs (requests) for professional competences in organizations and IT companies. The ultimate goal is to comply with industrial changes characterizedby adaptive solutions for fostering human-machine interactions. Here competence and job knowledge play a great role in organizations. This paper discusses the concept ofan adaptive competence profiling platform in the context of EU funded project ComProFITS. The main goal is (i) reinforcing competence analytics, and (ii) improving the quality of personnel selection and job performance in the IT sector. This project reflects the results of the research and development activities based on needs analysis with a Spanish IT company.
