This textbook introduces the basis for modelling and analysing discrete dynamic systems, such as computer programmes, soft- and hardware systems, and business processes. The underlying concepts are introduced and concrete modelling techniques are described, such as finite automata, state machines, and Petri nets. The concepts are related to concrete application scenarios, among which business processes play a prominent role. The book consists of three parts, the first of which addresses the foundations of behavioural modelling. After a general introduction to modelling, it introduces transition systems as a basic formalism for representing the behaviour of discrete dynamic systems. This sect...
Design and Implementation of service-oriented architectures imposes a huge number of research questions from the fields of software engineering, system analysis and modeling, adaptability, and application integration. Component orientation and web services are two approaches for design and realization of complex web-based system. Both approaches allow for dynamic application adaptation as well as integration of enterprise application. Commonly used technologies, such as J2EE and .NET, form de facto standards for the realization of complex distributed systems. Evolution of component systems has lead to web services and service-based architectures. This has been manifested in a multitude of in...
This book constitutes revised papers from the International Workshops held at the 18th International Conference on Business Process Management, BPM 2020, during September 13-18, 2020. The conference was planned to take place in Seville, Spain, but changed to an online format due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Papers from the following workshops are included: Workshop on Security and Privacy-Enhanced Business Process Management (SPBP 2020) Workshop on Social and Human Aspects of Business Process Management (BPMS2 2020) Workshop on Business Processes Meet the Internet-of Things (BP-Meet-IoT 2020) Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Business Process Management (AI4BPM 2020) Workshop BPM in the Era of Digital Innovation and Transformation (BPMinDIT 2020) Workshop on Business Process Intelligence (BPI 2020) Workshop on Declarative, Decision and Hybrid Approaches to Processes (DEC2H 2020) Each of the seven workshops focused on particular aspects of business process management, either from a technical or from a domain perspective. Overall, after a thorough review process there were 28 full and 1 short paper selected from 53 submissions.
Business process management is usually treated from two different perspectives: business administration and computer science. While business administration professionals tend to consider information technology as a subordinate aspect in business process management for experts to handle, by contrast computer science professionals often consider business goals and organizational regulations as terms that do not deserve much thought but require the appropriate level of abstraction. Matthias Weske argues that all communities involved need to have a common understanding of the different aspects of business process management. To this end, he details the complete business process lifecycle from th...
This explorative study gives a descriptive overview of what organizations do and experience when they say they practice design thinking. It looks at how the concept has been appropriated in organizations and also describes patterns of design thinking adoption. The authors use a mixed-method research design fed by two sources: questionnaire data and semi-structured personal expert interviews. The study proceeds in six parts: (1) design thinking¹s entry points into organizations; (2) understandings of the descriptor; (3) its fields of application and organizational localization; (4) its perceived impact; (5) reasons for its discontinuation or failure; and (6) attempts to measure its success. In conclusion the report challenges managers to be more conscious of their current design thinking practice. The authors suggest a co-evolution of the concept¹s introduction with innovation capability building and the respective changes in leadership approaches. It is argued that this might help in unfolding design thinking¹s hidden potentials as well as preventing unintended side-effects such as discontented teams or the dwindling authority of managers.
This double volumes LNCS 11229-11230 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Confederated International Conferences: Cooperative Information Systems, CoopIS 2018, Ontologies, Databases, and Applications of Semantics, ODBASE 2018, and Cloud and Trusted Computing, C&TC, held as part of OTM 2018 in October 2018 in Valletta, Malta. The 64 full papers presented together with 22 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 173 submissions. The OTM program every year covers data and Web semantics, distributed objects, Web services, databases, informationsystems, enterprise workflow and collaboration, ubiquity, interoperability, mobility, grid and high-performance computing.
This book constitutes revised selected papers from the international workshops, the EDOC Forum and the Demonstration and Doctoral Consortium track, that were held at the 26th International Conference on Enterprise Design, Operations, and Computing, EDOC 2022. The conference took place in Bozen-Bolzano, Italy, during October 3–7, 2022. The conference focuses on the area of enterprise computing, this year with the special emphasis on the theme of designing and operating “Flexible Enterprises”. Workshops within EDOC cover more focused topics and allow for the presentation and discussion of work that is in the earlier development stages. The 18 full and 8 short papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 82 submissions. They stem from the following satellite events: – Workshop on Intelligent Digital Architecture, Methods, and Services for Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0 (IDAMS) – 14th Workshop on Service-oriented Enterprise Architecture for Enterprise Engineering (SoEA4EE) – 17th Workshop on Trends in Enterprise Architecture Research (TEAR) – EDOC Forum – Demonstrations Track – Doctoral Consortium
