Structuring, or, as it is referred to in the title of this book, the art of structuring, is one of the core elements in the discipline of Information Systems. While the world is becoming increasingly complex, and a growing number of disciplines are evolving to help make it a better place, structure is what is needed in order to understand and combine the various perspectives and approaches involved. Structure is the essential component that allows us to bridge the gaps between these different worlds, and offers a medium for communication and exchange. The contributions in this book build these bridges, which are vital in order to communicate between different worlds of thought and methodology – be it between Information Systems (IS) research and practice, or between IS research and other research disciplines. They describe how structuring can be and should be done so as to foster communication and collaboration. The topics covered reflect various layers of structure that can serve as bridges: models, processes, data, organizations, and technologies. In turn, these aspects are complemented by visionary outlooks on how structure influences the field.
This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 11th IFIP WG 8.1 Conference on the Practice of Enterprise Modeling held in October/November 12018 in Vienna, Austria. The conference was created by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 8.1 to offer a forum for knowledge transfer and experience sharing between the academic and practitioner communities. The 21 full papers and 5 short papers accepted were carefully reviewed and selected from 64 submissions. They are grouped by the following topics: business process modeling, model derivation; collaboration modeling; reviews and analyses of modeling methods; semantics and reasoning, experience reports; and teaching challenges.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 15th IFIP Working Conference on the Practice of Enterprise Modeling, PoEM 2022, which took place in London, UK, during November 23-25, 2022. PoEM offers a forum for sharing experiences and knowledge between the academic community and practitioners from industry and the public sector. This year the theme of the conference is Enterprise Modeling and Model-based Development and Engineering. The 15 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 45 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: models in information system development; modeling enterprise architectures; modeling capabilities and ecosystems; DSML and meta-modeling; and participatory modeling.
This book offers a practical introduction to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to improve and optimise the various phases of the software development process, from the initial project planning to the latest deployment. All chapters were written by leading experts in the field and include practical and reproducible examples. Following the introductory chapter, Chapters 2-9 respectively apply AI techniques to the classic phases of the software development process: project management, requirement engineering, analysis and design, coding, cloud deployment, unit and system testing, and maintenance. Subsequently, Chapters 10 and 11 provide foundational tutorials on the AI techniques used in the preceding chapters: metaheuristics and machine learning. Given its scope and focus, the book represents a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners and students with a basic grasp of software engineering.
This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 10th IFIP WG 8.1 Conference on the Practice of Enterprise Modeling held in November 2017 in Leuven, Belgium. The conference was created by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 8.1 to offer a forum for knowledge transfer and experience sharing between the academic and practitioner communities. The 20 full papers and 4 short papers accepted were carefully reviewed and selected from 70 submissions. They include research results, practitioner/experience reports and work-in-progress papers and were presented in 8 sessions covering diverse topics related to enterprise modelling and its application in practice.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of three workshops symposia, held at the 41st International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, ER 2022, as a virtual event, in October 2022. The 11 papers deal with topics such as foundations; business information systems; advanced and cross-disciplinary applications, conceptual modeling, information systems and knowledge graphs; data/object management; engineering; and experience. The following workshops are included in this volume: Third International Workshop on Conceptual Modeling for Life Sciences (CMLS), 5th International Workshop on Empirical Methods in Conceptual Modeling (EmpER); and First International Workshop on Digital Justice, Digital Law and Conceptual Modeling (JUSMOD).
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 35th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering, CAiSE 2023, which was held in Zaragoza, Spain, during June 12-16, 2023. The 36 full papers included in these proceedings were selected from 161 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: Cyber-human and cyber-physical systems; requirements engineering; IoT; environmental applications; process mining; event-driven process mining; ontology and knowledge representation; model-driven approaches; process monitoring; conformance, compliance and workarounds; data-centric approaches; privacy and security; explainable AI; service-related approaches.
This book contains extended versions of the best papers presented at the 14th International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies in Education, Research, and Industrial Applications, ICTERI 2018, held in Kyiv, Ukraine, in May 2018. The 14 revised full papers included in this volume along with one invited full paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 257 initial submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: advances in ICT research, ICT in education and education management, ICT solutions for industrial applications.
The importance of databases and information systems to the functioning of 21st century life is indisputable. This book presents papers from the 13th International Baltic Conference on Databases and Information Systems, held in Trakai, Lithuania, from 1- 4 July 2018. Since the first of these events in 1994, the Baltic DB&IS has proved itself to be an excellent forum for researchers, practitioners and PhD students to deliver and share their research in the field of advanced information systems, databases and related areas. For the 2018 conference, 69 submissions were received from 15 countries. Each paper was assigned for review to at least three referees from different countries. Following re...
