Modeling Software Markets
As social beings, humans are not living in isolation but rather interact and communicate within their social network via language, meant to convey parts of some conceptualization from the sender to a single recipient or a set of recipients. Communities of agents not only share a common language but also the individual conceptualizations of the world (real and abstract) have to overlap to a significant extent, allowing for efficient reference to whole conceptual structures like "the German constitution", "game theory" or "medical sciences". For "societies" of interacting technical devices or software agents the situation is not quite as Babylonian since although these agents are meant to act ...
Networks
New information and communication technologies unquestionably brought about enormous changes that resulted in an ever-increasing networked society. Indeed, there is no area in the social and economic world which is unaffected by the recent advances. In response to these changes scientists from numerous disciplines teamed up in 1997 to lay a foundation for a common theory of networks. The objective was to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms behind social, economic, technical and other kinds of networks in order to develop a unified theory of networks. Such a theory would then guide public and private decisions concerning the planning, operations and controlling of all kinds of networks. The contributions in this book represent the first steps toward this ambitious goal.
Trends in Enterprise Application Architecture
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed postproceedings of the International Workshop on Trends in Enterprise Application Architecture, TEAA 2005, held in Trondheim, Norway in August 2005 as satellite event of the 31st International Conference on Very Large Data Bases, VLDB 2005. The 10 revised full papers presented together with the abstract of the keynote lecture were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions for inclusion in the book.
The Economics, Concept, and Design of Information Intermediaries
The Internet provides an infrastructure that makes the steadily increasing amount of information accessible efficiently, quickly, and inexpensively. Closely connec ted with this opportunity is the danger that the available information will over charge the individual information seeker's capability to process the information and to judge its quality. In this situation, information intermediaries can take upon the role of an expert and a guarantor of quality similar to intermediaries in markets for physical goods or finances. Thus, information intermediaries can be a trust worthy, information processing third party, mediating between information seekers and information sources. The current tec...
Information Technology in Supplier Networks
The present work by Sascha Weber addresses procurement which deals with business partners beyond the boundaries of one's organization. Procurement refers to the function of purchasing goods and services from suppliers, whether raw material used to manufacture an organization's final products, maintenance and repair supplies, or capital goods such as machinery and buildings. Major decisions in procurement concern the selection of the right suppliers with whom to establish a business relationship, the design of purchasing contracts, and the selection of information technology used to support the procurement process. In recent years the progress in information technology not only provided oppor...
Information Technology Standards and Standardization: A Global Perspective
In light of the emerging global information infrastructure, information technology standards are becoming increasingly important. At the same time, however, the standards setting process has been criticized as being slow, inefficient and out of touch with market needs. What can be done to resolve this situation?To provide a basis for an answer to this question, Information Technology Standards and Standardization: A Global Perspective paints as full a picture as possible of the varied and diverse aspects surrounding standards and standardization. This book will serve as a foundation for research, discussion and practice as it addresses trends, problems and solutions for and by numerous disciplines, such as economics, social sciences, management studies, politics, computer science and, particularly, users.
Scenarios, Stories, Use Cases
Extending the scenario method beyond interface design, this important book shows developers how to design more effective systems by soliciting, analyzing, and elaborating stories from end-users Contributions from leading industry consultants and opinion-makers present a range of scenario techniques, from the light, sketchy, and agile to the careful and systematic Includes real-world case studies from Philips, DaimlerChrysler, and Nokia, and covers systems ranging from custom software to embedded hardware-software systems
Die Adoption Von Kritische-Masse-Systemen
Marcus Liehr untersucht, wie individuelle Kritische Massen empirisch bestimmt werden konnen. Hierzu schlagt er mit der Hierarchischen Limit Conjoint-Analyse eine Variante der traditionellen Conjoint-Analyse vor, die er am Beispiel der Adoption eines UMTS-fahigen Kamera-Handys empirisch auf ihre Eignung uberpruft.

Die Zukunft der Printmedien
Digitalisierung und Vernetzung führen zu völlig neuen Möglichkeiten der Erstellung, Verbreitung, Nutzung und Weiterentwicklung gedruckter Medien. Die Online-Medien treten - ausgelöst durch Internet und World Wide Web - gleichberechtigt neben die herkömmlichen Druckerzeugnisse. Werden die neuen Medien die alten Medien verdrängen? Oder wird es eine Neubesinnung auf die Stärken der Printmedien geben, die vielleicht zur Schaffung ganz neuer Verknüpfungen zwischen alten und neuen Medien führt? Experten aus den Buchverlagen, aus dem Zeitungs- und Zeitschriftenbereich und aus den Online-Medien, Autoren und Journalisten analysieren in diesem Band die gegenwärtigen Entwicklungen und zeigen Zukunftsperspektiven auf.
