Enterprise, Business-Process and Information Systems Modeling
This book constitutes the proceedings of two events held in conjunction with the CAiSE conferences and related to the areas of enterprise, business-process and information systems modeling: the 18th International Conference on Business Process Modeling, Development and Support, BPMDS 2017, and the 22nd International Conference on Evaluation and Modeling Methods for Systems Analysis and Development, EMMSAD, 2017. They took place in Essen, Germany, in June 2017. The focus theme for BPMDS 2017 papers was “Enabling Business Transformation by Business Process Modeling, Development and Support". From 24 submitted papers, 11 were finally accepted and organized by: Non-functional considerations in...
Services Computing – SCC 2018
This book constitutes the proceedings of the International Conference on Services Computing, SCC 2018, as part of SCF 2018, held in Seattle, WA, USA, in June 2018. The 12 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers cover the science and technology of leveraging computing and information technology to model, create, operate, and manage business services.
Products from Olive Tree
Olive tree products provide a number of documented presentations of the production and quality of the two most important olive tree products: virgin olive oil and table olives. It is a source that familiarizes readers with recent approaches and innovations that can be introduced in the virgin olive oil extraction and stabilization technology and the preparation of table olives with emphasis on the presence of bioactive constituents. It also describes advances in the methods of checking authenticity and in the evaluation of attributes that may influence consumers' perceptions and preferences. Other topics discussed are squalene, a trove of metabolic actions, pigments, geographical indication, biotechnology in table olive preparation, and recovery of hydroxytyrosol from olive-milling wastes.
Service-Oriented Computing – ICSOC 2017 Workshops
This book constitutes the revised selected papers of the scientific satellite events that were held in conjunction with the 15th International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing, ICSOC 2017, held in Málaga, Spain, in November 2017. The ICSOC 2017 workshop track consisted of three workshops on a wide range of topics that fall into the general area of service computing: ASOCA 2017: The Second Workshop on Adaptive Service-Oriented and Cloud Applications ISyCC 2016: The Second Workshop on IoT Systems Provisioning and Management in Cloud Computing WESOACS 2017: The 13th International Workshop on Engineering Service-Oriented Applications and Cloud Services
Business Process Management Forum
This book constitutes the proceedings of the BPM Forum from the International Conference on Business Process Management, BPM 2016, held in Rio de Janeiro, September 2016. The BPM Forum aims at gathering papers that showcase fresh ideas and emerging topics in BPM. They have to demonstrate substantial potential for stimulating interesting discussions, even if they are not yet completely matured. This way, 13 full papers were selected from 106 submissions, where each paper was reviewed by four PC members and by one Senior PC member who moderated the discussion and wrote the meta-review. The selected papers in this volume cover topics related to process modeling, process execution and management aspects of the BPM discipline.
Advanced Information Systems Engineering Workshops
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of seven international workshops held in Stockholm, Sweden, in conjunction with the 27th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering, CAiSE 2015, in June 2015. The 38 full and nine short papers were carefully selected from 107 submissions. The workshops were the Second International Workshop on Advances in Services Design based on the Notion of Capability (ASDENCA), the Third International Workshop on Cognitive Aspects of Information Systems Engineering (COGNISE), the First International Workshop on Digital Business Innovation and the Future Enterprise Information Systems Engineering (DiFenSE), the First International Workshop on Enterprise Modeling (EM), the First Workshop on the Role of Real-World Objects in Business Process Management Systems (RW-BPMS), the 10th International Workshop on Trends in Enterprise Architecture Research (TEAR), and the 5th International Workshop on Information Systems Security Engineering (WISSE).

Preventing Child Sexual Abuse
The past decade has seen a dramatic increase in the attention paid to the problem of child sexual abuse. Professionals from the social work, mental health, medical, academic, and legal fields are all involved in researching the prevalence, causes, and consequences of abuse. Child sexual abuse in multidimensional: it is determined by forces at work in victims and offenders, in the family, and in the community and society at large. Thoroughly researched, Preventing Child Sexual Abuse surveys incidence and prevalence studies; lists risk and protective factors in abuse; discusses various indicators of abuse; and reports on legislation related to abuse. It reviews preventive programs aimed at children and adults, and provides suggestions for an expanded involvement of parents, professionals, policymakers, researchers, and the general public. In doing so, it provides the information needed to create prevention programs that attack the problem on several fronts at once.
Food Policy for Developing Countries
Despite technological advances in agriculture, nearly a billion people around the world still suffer from hunger and poor nutrition while a billion are overweight or obese. This imbalance highlights the need not only to focus on food production but also to implement successful food policies. In this new textbook intended to be used with the three volumes of Case Studies in Food Policy for Developing Countries (also from Cornell), the 2001 World Food Prize laureate Per Pinstrup-Andersen and his colleague Derrill D. Watson II analyze international food policies and discuss how such policies can and must address the many complex challenges that lie ahead in view of continued poverty, globalization, climate change, food price volatility, natural resource degradation, demographic and dietary transitions, and increasing interests in local and organic food production. Food Policy for Developing Countries offers a "social entrepreneurship" approach to food policy analysis. Calling on a wide variety of disciplines including economics, nutrition, sociology, anthropology, environmental science, medicine, and geography, the authors show how all elements in the food system function together.
Situational Method Engineering
While previously available methodologies for software – like those published in the early days of object technology – claimed to be appropriate for every conceivable project, situational method engineering (SME) acknowledges that most projects typically have individual characteristics and situations. Thus, finding the most effective methodology for a particular project needs specific tailoring to that situation. Such a tailored software development methodology needs to take into account all the bits and pieces needed for an organization to develop software, including the software process, the input and output work products, the people involved, the languages used to describe requirements...
